My wife and I are big Top Chef fans and are absolutely loving it. My wife is not from Wisconsin and only visited a few times, but she absolutely loves Wisconsin stereotypes and they are leaning hard into them. It's also a well-deserved spotlight for the highly underrated Milwaukee food scene. 

Fun fact -- I'll never be the most famous person from my high school class because of Charlie Berens 😂

Id like to see them bring Charlie back for more guest judging

Just finished "Slow Horses" on Apple. Really good spy stories with a bit of a twist. Oldman is awesome.

I got a chuckle out of the one TC judge saying that she generally doesn't like to start off a meal with dairy...

The look on the local judges faces and I believe one said "What's wrong with you?"- hilarious

Resident Alien is...hilarious. @homer...just stumbled onto it, thought it'd be stupid and now it's one of the few shows I watch right when it airs.

Only a few more episodes left this year.

I watched the first Fallout episode. It did not disappoint. I think video game movies are what comic book movies used to be.

There needs to be a King Thames version of the bible.

I just finished the 3rd episode, as someone who never played the games...I am really into it.  I am curious how similar the show is to the game? If anyone has played it and watched it could respond, I would appreciate it.

To me, the atmosphere and style is spot on, but I have seen a lot of chatter on the internet about more serious fans who have issues with the show.

 

To me, its basically Westworld set in the Fallout universe. I'm all in on that.

I think there's more of a sense of humor to the shows than the game. Like theBruce mentioned, the atmosphere and style is spot on. The show certainly isn't dependent on knowing the game to be entertaining.

The games have always had a sense of humor though, especially New Vegas.

I only ever played fallout 4. They do have a sense of humor but I think the show did it better. I think part of it is actual actors can get the humor across easier than a game can.

Late to the party on this one, but 1923 is freaking excellent!

Enjoyed Shogun a lot.

Very much Game of Thrones-esque in that it was more about the political machinations of the time - different families and factions gaming for dominance in Japan. Really well done.

I'm a history nerd, so it was up my alley.

Anyone ever watched Cougartown?

I remember watching it with my wife when it was actually on tv.  Thought it was ok.

Rewatching now and find it to be pretty hilarious.  Happy I started the rewatch as it provides with true laugh out loud moments in every episode.

I just discovered "Galavant" on Hulu.  I heard it described as Monty Python meets Gilbert and Sullivan.

Comedy that busts out in song several times in each show... but they sound more like Weird Al parody level songs. 

"Rock, sometime, when the team is up against it, and the breaks are beating the boys, tell 'em to go out there with all they got and win just one for the Uecker. I don't know where I'll be then, Rock but I'll know about it; and I'll be happy."

Heh, he makes a couple of appearances in season two, I believe.

That was a really good show!

Doh! I actually forgot that... He was one of the singing monks in season 1 also.  I just started season 2.

Bad Monkey on Apple has been great especially if you like Vince Vaughn.

Kinda like a modern day Fletch. I'm enjoying it.

Not really a series/show, but the Netflix Rockumentary on Nickleback:  Hate to Love was actually pretty well done.  Really cool seeing a band largely form out of middle of nowhere Canada that found a way to make it huge.  Not the biggest fan of their music but have to appreciate what they were able to achieve, now having a cult following both for and against them.

I've never understood the Nickelback hate.  They have a ton of great tunes, and continue to rock, which is a lost art...
