    BBC is apparently developing a TV series based off the Discworld City Watch appropriately called The Watch:

    https://www.theguardian.com/books/2018/mar/02/discworld-terry-pratchetts-city-watch-headed-for-tv-adaptation#comments
    Terry Pratchett’s beloved Discworld novels may be about to return to the small screen, with new reports that BBC Studios is developing a TV series based on his work.

    Rumours have circulated for some years of a series in development based on Pratchett’s novels featuring the characters of the Ankh Morpork City Watch, the police department of the Discworld’s fictional metropolis. Speculation was renewed on Friday with Deadline reporting that BBC Studios is working on such a project, titled The Watch, and that screenwriter and producer Simon Allen is attached to it. BBC has since confirmed it.

    Heathers is doing everything in its power to drive me away and I wasn't terribly interested to begin with, so I'm not worried on that front.

    Oh shit, that show was pretty fun. I wasn't even expecting it to get a second season, though. So that's cool.

    Anyone watching Counterpart? The premise sounds really cool (I miss Fringe so, so much), and it's got JK Simmons.

    So, how is it?

  • OmnipotentBagelOmnipotentBagel floof Registered User regular
    I really like Timothy Olyphant and Drew Barrymore and adore Better Off Ted, so it's a real shame Santa Clarita Diet has the premise it does because it would be basically tailor-made for me if it were gorey

    My partner likes two shows, Superstore and Jane the Virgin.

    Superstore is pretty great, but Jane the Virgin seems designed and made specifically to make me hate it. I suppose I've never really been a fan of soaps, and it's basically the soaps that used to be on tv when I was a kid turned up to about 300% overdrive.

  • ShortyShorty touching the meat Intergalactic Cool CourtRegistered User regular
    yeah I watched the first few episodes of Jane the Virgin and it's very much not for me

  • QuetziQuetzi Here we may reign secure, and in my choice, To reign is worth ambition though in HellRegistered User, Moderator mod
    Jane the Virgin is a delight but I can absolutely understand bouncing off of it

    For me, it does a good job of being a soap that is always fun, which is the big problem with actually watching soaps - sometimes they're just kind of boring

  • Raijin QuickfootRaijin Quickfoot I'm your Huckleberry YOU'RE NO DAISYRegistered User, ClubPA regular
    I loved the first season of Jane the Virgin

    I really liked the second season

    Now I'm kind of off of it

    Entertainment Weekly cover article on Westworld Season 2
    “The scale of season 2 is just nuts, literally right out of the gate,” says star Jeffrey Wright (Bernard Lowe). “It’s so much more expansive, it makes the first season look like a genteel kitchen drama.”

    AP bio is growing on me. Pattons sub plot with the Bats was really fun. Do not care about the 3 teachers though. Their plots already seem samey.
    Id rather have that crazy health teacher lady show up more

    I have a podcast now. It's about video games and anime!Find it here.

    Sometimes I forget how much I love Lin-Manuel Miranda's arc from House. It's up there with Brendan Fraser's episodes of Scrubs.

    I had a high school student tell me that The Office is a better show than Friends.

    We had a very long debate about how he was wrong.

    I'm kind of surprised at the resurgence of love Frasier is getting
    it seems like exactly the sort of affluent white nonsense that nobody puts up with in this age

    It is the ultimate dismantling of affluent white nonsense. It is so effective that it makes me, a white person, profoundly uncomfortable. Because it is all true, and there is no way all that nonsense stands without oodles of white privilege.

    Any universe where Friends is a better show than The Office is a horrid, broken, scorched hellscape and I reject that empirically.
