The list of shows I am going through


I'm letting myself skip anything over 45mins, which I'll mark with a # if I haven't actually tried it.

Sense & Sensibility (BBC)
Romance/family drama based on a Jane Austen novel. Fine, but I don't feel like watching any more. *drops*

We're the Millers#
US comedy movie. *keeps*

The Paradise
Victorian period drama about a women's clothing department. Seemed ok but I realised that a show about women's clothing was hitting weird buttons for me gender-wise *drops*

Demetri Martin: Live (At the Time) #
Stand up. *keeps*

Walking with Monsters: Life Before Dinosaurs
See: Walking with Dinosaurs *drops*

Memories of the Alhambra
Korean scifi drama I heard has a terrible ending. *drops*

Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist #
Romance movie.*keeps*

Red vs. Blue
Darkly humourous scifi machinima. I'm up to Season 4. *keeps*

River
Murder mystery procedural about a detective who sees ghosts or is maybe just mentally ill? Seems fine but didn't grab me. *drops*

Masterpiece Classic: Emma
Romance based on a Jane Austen novel. Everyone else loves this adaptation and but just keep getting bored. *drops*

Marvel's Luke Cage
Superhero show about a bulletproof black guy from Harlem. Pretty good, but I just don't seem to click with live action superhero tv shows. *drops*

Iliza Shlesinger: Freezing Hot#
Stand up.*keeps*

Hello, My Twenties!/Age of Youth
Korean drama about a group of young female roommates. Good, but not my sort of thing *drops*

A Korean Odyssey
Korean supernatural romance comedy about a woman who can see spirits who ends up tangled up with the Monkey King. Very entertaining so far *keeps*

Magic Mike XXL
Movie about a group of male strippers. Going to be too sexual for me. *drops*

The Standups
Half hour standup episodes. Ep 1 is Joe List who didn't work for me but the next ep will be someone different. *drops*

Boys Over Flowers
Korean highschool romance about a girl who gets tangled up with a group of Fancy Rich Boys. Didn't grab me, the romantic lead seems to be too much an asshole. *drops*

Katherine Ryan: In Trouble#
Stand-up. *keeps*

Dumplin' #
Movie about a fat girl entering a beauty competition. *keeps*

Spartacus
Have heard this is enjoyable and moderately queer once you get past the rather bad pilot, but seem too dark for me. *drops*

4th Man Out
Comedy about a gay guy coming out t his friends. Watching the trailer made me decide I wouldn't like it. *drops*

Hasan Minhaj: Homecoming King#
Stand-up. *keeps*

Elf #
Comedy about a human raised by Santa's elves. *keeps*

OK I am going to watch "A Korean Odyssey" now.
Don't ask me how many adaptions of "Journey to the West" I have so far watched and I won't have to try and work it out. It's more than six, but HOW MANY MORE?

Oh, cool, I hope you enjoy it! Meanwhile I stumbled across the post that got me into it and was reminded that it's going to hit some bad buttons for me (tragedy, zombies) so am not sure I'll stick with it, so it would be nice if it still brought someone else joy :) https://skygiants.dreamwidth.org/535446.html

Dumplin is so sweet. I want to travel back in time with it on a VHS (I guess?) to show at a high-school sleepover.

Yes, I've heard good things!
