Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

I hate life, but there are some great new TV shows that eases the suffering.

  • The Magicians
  • For All Mankind (Its more exciting than it seems, its not just about the science, there's also a lot of politics in it)
  • The Expanse
  • Dark
  • 3 Body Problem
  • Kingdom (Korean Netflix Original)
  • Wheel of Time (If you are a book reader, you're probably gonna hate it, but its great for a TV first time watcher)
  • Squid Game (This is popular, so you probably have already watched it, but if you haven't, what are you waiting for?)
  • The Good Place

There is also a lot that were much older than 2019, but I never even discovered until like recently, I don't really remember them all.

For All Mankind first two season are peak.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

For me it's the even numbered ones that seem like the best of the show. Glad other people are finally watching it!

Really? I fell out during season 2. I realized at some point I was not watching sci-fi, but rather a lame melodrama of interpersonal emotional problems from all the characters.

Star Trek: Brave New World

*Strange New Worlds

Goddamn, I even google it just to make sure since it sounded strange when I wrote it, and google just sugggested it as a valid auto complete

Google knows the real world is a dystopia.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago

Google is actively making it so.

Succession

No offense, but I don't know how you even get through that shit. It's soooo boring. I tried like 3 times, just nope. I honestly don't know how it got ranked so high in terms of TV popularity. Like bruh, its literally just bussiness meeting, parties, meetings, scheming, curse words for the lolz, more meetings.

spoilerRich boy can't coup against his father because daddy got the president to shut down the airspace??? 🤣

Okay that's absolutely ridiculous, but its interesting, but probably the most intetesting thing in like, what, 8 episodes? Then its just a few more episodes of nothing.

Then rich boy tries to buy drugs but crashes car with someone else.

Like, out of and entire season 1, only the "coup" scene is remotely interesting, then it's a nothing burger.

Maybe it's just my contempt for rich people. 🤷‍♂️

Probably depends on what kind of viewer you are, Succession is entirely character driven and what's happening matters less than how the characters react to it, how they behave with each other.

It's probably pompous to say it's a more intellectual experience, but I believe it is, much like the hated Fly episode of Breaking Bad or the first season of Breaking Bad where "nothing happens"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago

Yeah, I didn’t like the first two seasons of wheel of time. Too many changes and the execution was sub par. The third one is awesome though.

Andor's pretty good
