it's funny, because the day before I posted this I got into a nice discussion on how I'm giving up on trying to stay caught up

Posted by: lobogotti on Oct 13, 05:24 in response to islander's post nice to read your thoughts. i am at personal peak tv...

with new shows.  there are just too many.

truthfully, I think I'm giving in on keeping up with all of the hour long dramas.  but 22-25 minute comedies are enjoyable and quick to get through (for me anyway).

I read this year there will be 450 scripted shows and close to 1500 series on TV.  at this point it's more exhausting for me to get to all I'm recommended, so I'm trying to find the cream of the crop, as to not waste time.  laughter is kinda the point these days, for me.  though I do love my dramas, I will always favor movies over TV (and this time of year we get the good stuff)....  Hell or Highwater, Sully, Deepwater, Mag 7 were all well done IMO and theres plenty more to get me through the holidays coming up.

as skamanfu said below, Better Things is killer.  it really is worth the watch, especially since you bring up Adlon yourself.  it feels like it could be her actual life, it's that well done.  and Imrie says some jaw-dropping comments that will have you screaming out loud.  that being said, it's not meant to be a laugh a minute show... try it and let us know.

so here are a few shows I'm watching lately to fill my VP and Broad City (comedy) void... lobogotti Oct 12, 06:52

Some thoughts from me... skamanfu Oct 12, 16:26

good place is delightful (but i havent been watching it intently enough to guess a scenario) {nm} islander Oct 12, 16:37

Spoilers (through episode 4 when I posted this on FB) and my thoughts of where it might go inside skamanfu Oct 13, 09:22

this is wonderful input skamanfu. some thoughts and questions... lobogotti Oct 13, 05:31

My order would be... skamanfu Oct 13, 09:19

should have told you that I'm a Halt & Catch Fire viewer... love it. watched the 1st season of Baskets, is the 2nd back on in Feb? lobogotti Oct 13, 12:08

I'm caught up on Atlanta, Ep 7, I was crying I was laughing so hard. {nm} lobogotti Oct 14, 05:26

Check out Documentary Now! {nm} avandelay Oct 13, 11:40

that good huh? I watch IFC a lot, but always overlook that one. I'll watch a couple episodes. {nm} lobogotti Oct 13, 12:06

If you watch a lot of documentaries then I think you'll like it. But some of the episodes are funnier if you've seen the doc it is spoofing {nm} avandelay Oct 13, 12:18

huge documentary buff. watch a few a week. {nm} lobogotti Oct 13, 12:32

If you've seen the original docs, this show is one of the funniest on tv. The first episode spoofing Grey Gardens was sublime. {nm} Willroast Oct 13, 19:23

Have you found time to check out Westworld yet Lobo? 2 eps in and it is amazeballs. {nm} Willroast Oct 13, 19:25

I want to watch it with the wife, so I have had to bide my time this week. Saturday night, or lobogotti Oct 14, 05:25

Grey Gardens, oh my word what a lovely doc! {nm} lobogotti Oct 14, 05:24
