What TV shows are you watching right now?

What is presumably only the first season of this just came to an end. This show has been divisive but I kinda liked it because it takes Star Wars in an unexpected direction. I don't want to be too spoilery in case anyone's not finished it yet but this is the first Star Wars media where I sympathised more with the Sith than the Jedi - who came across as unlikable and even villainous in this. I hope the mixed reaction doesn't mean this show gets canned without resolution because while it wasn't always the best and most entertaining modern Star Wars has been, it's also the most interested and included several live-action firsts:

I don't care what anyone says: this is good, very good even. But it has shown the Tolkien fandom to be one of, if not the most toxic fandoms going. You'd think no adaptation that came before it ever changed anything going from page to screen to create a workable TV show or movie. At the point season 2 ends we should be in Second Age 1697. Sauron is defeated in Second Age 3441. And I seriously think some 'fans' think the show should be depicting that completely unworkable for screen timeline precisely the way they are carrying on about 'changes' and 'fan fiction'. Pfff, all adaptations are fan fiction on such terms. 

Okay, rant over. 

I know I'm a few years late, but I've just finished this. There are some great storylines through it. It also does a more realistic job of recreating the 1980s than Stranger Things' rose-tinting.

Am just about to start on this. I watches the first episode already and it looks like fun!

Set 10000 years before, but canon to the modern films. The tone is actually considerable more adult than the two movies and while Dune Part 1 and 2 are marvels of filmmaking in many ways I actually enjoyed this more. 

Mostly enjoyed this one, but some things I found more of mixed bag, especially the way it ended which didn't show much resolution. 

Icelandic. Had it on my list for a while but only got around to it because I saw that Netflix was taking it off. Worth the watch before it disappears in about a week's time. It's only 8 episodes so is doable if binged. 

And now I've started this one:

Two episodes in. Very intriguing!

Specifically The Return (season 3).

I don't have much to say about this one. Twin Peaks was always weird but Lynch went next level here.

I have a long standing love/hate relationship with his work and ultimately this one falls more on the hate side, which is disappointing as I loved the original two seasons and Fire Walk With Me. I mean most of the time I don't know what the fuck is going on, and it appears to ultimately utilise one of my biggest pet peeves in storytelling by seemingly erasing the whole damn series. But even beyond that, it doesn't capture the vibe of the original at all. Most of the original characters that reappear feel only there for tokenism and so much of the season takes place outside of the town of Twin Peaks. And Cooper spends most of the series in a reduced mental state - a plotline dragged out for far too long. 

Anyway, R.I.P. David Lynch. They don't make 'em like him anymore.
