Then this recommendation was suggest....
... You just can't beat an Eli Wallach, Lee Van Cleef and of course, a Clint Eastwood combination
All I can say is, if you haven't, you must

That TV is a beauty
I didn't even know GSYNC came on a TV that big... I want.
I binged all the way through Disenchantment, the latest creation of Matt Groening (creator of The Simpsons and Futurama).
I very much like this series. It's bold, but more refined than Futurama. There's a lot of mystery involved in the series, and there are hints and little details hidden everywhere, which is great to read about in a place like r/disenchantment. There's all sorts of theories about what's going on.
There's a great cast of characters. Among my favorites are Zøg, the loud and foul-mouthed king and father of main character Bean (short for Princess Tiabeanie) as well as Oona, Bean's drug addicted lizard step mom. Merkimer the talking pig is great too.
There's three seasons so far, with 10 episodes that last for about 25 mins each, so it can be binged kind of fast if you like.
It’s your basic Marvel programming. One thing that bothered me on episode 4:
[spoiler]When they all started fighting the super soldiers at the end of the episode, one of the soldiers killed John Walker’s partner. Everyone immediately stopped fighting and looked shocked. What the fuck did they expect? They are kicking each other through walls, swinging knives, and all manner of lethal activity. Were they thinking no one would get hurt? Bit of a dumb moment...[/spoiler]
Honestly, I feel Black Mirror is a bit over hyped. Yes, there's some great episodes, some brutally disheartening which is something Black Mirrors has become known for, but there's also pretty weak episodes. On average, I'd say it's well worth watching, but it really doesn't give you the existential crisis like some people want you to think.
Just don't give up on it for 3 years after seeing the very first episode like I did
No, I won't be giving up. Season 2 Episode 1 titled Be Right Back was very interesting. I expect others will be somewhat similar.
Storyline...
Martha is devastated when her partner Ash is killed in an accident the day they planned to move in together. At Ash's funeral, Martha's friend tells her of a new service which enables people to communicate with their (deceased) loved one. Martha is appalled, and decides to stay in the cottage despite her sister's view she is isolating herself. One day Martha gets a message from Ash, and she realises Sarah has signed her up for the service. Initially, Martha's displeased but, on finding she's pregnant, relents and soon begins communicating now and more with 'Ash'. With her comfort-level growing talking with the synthetic Ash, it isn't long before 'he' tells Martha about a 'next level' of communicating - one which will bring them truly closer.
[spoiler]Short is the avatar of her partner Ash ends up in the attic, looks like for years[/spoiler]
I just completed watching season 2 of Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events.
I watched season 1 when it first came out but kind of gave up on it because it got so repetitive. I dived into season 2 in a moment of boredom and found that they managed to alleviate the repetitiveness of season 1, despite being two episodes longer. Will commence season 3 soon!
