Last Series Watched

Their plan for each season is to jump back 27 years and follow the previous generation, then again, so each season will be something of a standalone with new casts.
 
Pluribus is the only series I've been watching lately. Very strong first season, particularly the most recent episode. Caught a bit of Welcome to Derry since my son watches it- looked pretty good from what I saw but overall not my jam, so I doubt I'll actively watch it. On the fence about watching Fallout S2. I will probably give it a go despite not loving the first season.

Glad to see you back here.

I'm enjoying Pluribus. This is probably a bit of a hot take, but I like the pacing. It's not breakneck, and it's not intentionally stretching a thin plot. Things are happening at a natural pace. As strange as it is to say this about dystopian science fiction, it's a good hangout show.

I'm about as on the fence about Fallout as a person could be. I decided to give the second season a shot, mostly out of adoration for Ella Purnell and Walton Goggins.

Season two still feels more like a video game than I'd like, but I thought the writing was better.

Gonna all kick off next week I guess, then the dreaded 2 year wait begins...

That moment made me laugh out loud (a rarity for me). The long waits between prestige TV seasons is killing me.

Thank you, TSI.

I agree with you on all fronts regarding Pluribus' pacing and Fallout. I started watching S2E1 but got pulled away about halfway through. Haven't returned yet, but I'm sure I will over the coming week.
 
Pluribus seems purposefully slow to maximize the emotional impact. I think the pacing also brings home the impact of loneliness. That said, I do think at the end of the season I'll go "that's it?" I love having a weekly show to talk about with co-workers.
