Watching tv and thought I was watching a feel good romance.
No. Itās turning slowly into dating a full on psychopath.
2nd time this has happened. Why canāt I have just a feel good happy movie!
If you don't mind something comedy drama instead, "The Intern" on repeat works.
Or you can just watch The Great British Bake Off, even when the contestants go there's nothing but love and adoration. They cry cus they're losing being able to spend all day with their new best friends.
You silly. People aren't allowed to be happy anymore.
It's weird how there hasn't been more feel good media content lately isn't it? Partner is craving it, I've had to lean in to my other tastes.
Stand by that "From" is the best thing currently on though.
Although our "The Rookie" binge is taking up many hours and is also an adorable show. Who doesn't love Nathon Fillon and Alan Tudyk?
I love "From." I'm currently waiting until I can subscribe and binge watch it. I binged the first series, awesome tv. Then I watched the second season episode by episode as it came out, and the suspense was killing me! Want to binge the third series, or most of it at least!
It's all always available on Usenet but understand the show justifying paying for it.
What a fantastic show. I had been trying to find something new to watch whilst my partner was busy and ended up binging season 1 & 2 right before season 3 started so there was no way to be patient. Doing week on week has sucked but (zero spoilers) that one "Previously on From" this season was worth it lol, you'll know which one I mean.
This season's last episode is out a week on Sunday so you could get stuck in this weekend and only have to wait a little, and then just hope for a season 4.
Stardust also works!
I switched channels. Was going to put on a movie but the movie on the other channel was ok.
Nah I canāt do those reality shows. Worst kind of fake for me.
Got distracted by some other stuff so what was ok and Iām going to make myself another delicious coffee and busy myself in a game for a bit.
I can't do reality shows either, utterly hate them with a disdain that is beyond even your wildest imagination. Bake off though is really genuine which is why it's so lovely. Only one I watch.
Loving that you're doing an early gaming session!
I agree with you. It's a nice feel good show and you don't have to think too hard.
The only real reality TV shows are on the sports channel. Everything else is edited/scripted. š
Then try the British Bake Off, must be the British one. The only editing is in the order they present their bakes.
So much piss taking and if it were on the sports channel it would be like "we've scored some goals and you haven't scored enough so I'm gonna stop scoring my goals and come help you score some more so you can win too". It might as well be a comedy and friendship show at this point that also happens to include baking.
That actually sounds really wholesome. Plus I like baking. I'll give is a shot. As a rule, I avoid reality TV because it's awful.
Reality TV is truly awful which is why it's weird me saying this one is legit. As you said, it's wholesome and hilarious. Minor spoiler Noel (IT Crowd) breaking a contestants thing whilst dicking around hahaha. The "ooops" glares were the best.
Had one too many episodes of MKR and The Block on tv by accident.
Iām making another coffee and starting up Core Keeper
Just thought.
Have you tried "Resident Alien" and "The Rookie"? Some former Firefly cast and both shows should hit the spot you're looking for.
Never played Core Keeper but I hope you enjoy your hundreds / thousands of hours!
Iām a big fan of the The Rookie because of Nathan Fillion. I
havenāt seen Firefly but as I understand it didnāt have many episodes and was cut short ending with the movie Serenity which I have seen.
Have watched all of it and waiting for the new a season now.
Resident alien not so much. Didnāt quite hit the right notes with me.
Iāve just put on Castlevania now waiting for the cricket to be on an a little over an hour.
Core Keeperās addictive and time just flies when playing it.
Iām might start fresh in Starview Valley because the final content patch has landed.
What is it?
Didnāt realise at the time because al I did was turn on the tv but I checked later as it was clearly headed into the psychotic stage and found out the movie was called A Date with Danger.
Switched channels shortly after.
