TV Thread - beware, [expletive] can get spoilery

Tyrant is good

I've been thinking about jumping on board, but I think I'll wait until it's over and binge watch it like I did with The Americans. Would you say it's better or worse than The Americans?

I'm finally watching, and loving the [expletive] out of, The League.

It's the best part of football season.

My appreciation for the League declined rapidly from Season 3 on, but I loved the first 2 years.

Just started Mad Men, we'll marathon through the Summer.

I just started season 3.

I want a Mr. McGibblets costume.

I would recommend binge watching it just because that's how I generally like to do it. But...there's this guy at work who wanted to talk about it....

In regards to the Americans, it's probably about the same.

Can anyone recommend Derek? I'm quite over Gervais, but it looks like he's broken out a bit here. I did love him dearly, once. Back before he become less dexterous than Michael Cera and built a franchise on (not kindheartedly, from what I heard/saw) teasing a moron. Honestly had never heard of it until browsing NetFlix.

If anyone else has any other unobvious NF suggestions I'm open to those as well.

Derek's good, although not so much funny. It's saccharine sweet.

If you're referring to Karl Pilkington with the "not kindheartedly teasing a moron" thing, they've been friends for a really long time and he's made Karl an obscene amount of money with those shows. Karl even produced his own spinoff from it (The Moaning of Life) and I don't think Gervais/Merchant had anything to do with it other than maybe some funding. Hell, Karl's in Derek.

I'd recommend watching An Idiot Abroad before doing Derek.

I thoroughly enjoyed "An Idiot Abroad", the first two seasons anyway.

That's how I felt about it but kept watching because it still delivers some laughs, albeit not as many as the first few seasons.
