When Major is shot dead at a covert arms bust gone wrong, Carver is plagued by guilt. He blames his burgeoning friendship with Major's wife for taking his eye off the ball at a crucial moment, resulting in his partner's death. Which is why he's so shocked when Major turns up a year later, raring to pick up things exactly where they left off. Carver learns that Major's been resurrected using pioneering AI, but, budgets being what they are, the software still had a few glitches. So while Major 2.0 might have even more ego than his previous version, the reboot seems to have left his judgement, ability and large parts of his memory behind, making him far more of a liability dead than he ever was alive.

When he was finally caught on 9 February 1983, Nilsen had murdered a total of fifteen men over a period of five years, making him Britain's most prolific serial killer of the time. After his arrest, Nilsen was astonishing in his honesty: admitting outright to all fifteen murders in the police car outside his flat. But infuriatingly for the investigating detectives, he couldn't remember any of his victims' names. With no apparent motive, inconclusive forensic evidence and most of Nilsen's victims living off-grid, the police started the biggest manhunt investigation in UK history.

Deleted member 45614 · Sep 29, 2020

I'll be watching The Right Stuff and Mando Season 2 on Disney+ for sure. Not sure if the BLACKPINK documentary on Netflix is a show or movie but I'll be watching that as well. Also I know these two are movies for sure but Over the Moon and the new Attenborough A Life on Our Planet both look great, so that's a great month for Netflix for the first time in a while for me personally.

I'll also be finishing of The Boys and the Disney Animal Kingdom show from last month as well.

The Real Paddington · Sep 29, 2020

100%:
Haunting of Bly Manor
The Queen's Gambit
Primal
Pen15 Season 2 (Coming to Canada)
The Good Lord Bird

Maybe:

dead souls · Sep 29, 2020

Pretty solid month--definitely looking forward to The Good Lord Bird the most.

Excited for Supernatural to finally be over since it hasn't been good in years.

Natiko · Sep 29, 2020

Haven't had a chance to go through the new shows yet, but thank you for the thread as always Ratsky! And yes to the Teenage Bounty Hunters callout! Everyone go watch it so Netflix gives us a pity season 2.

TheNatureBoy · Sep 30, 2020

Props on the thread as always, October has a lot of stuff I plan to check out

Warrior Season 2
Mando Season 2
Monsterland
Helstrom
Primal Season 2

maybe Soulmates as well

metsallica · Sep 30, 2020

This is a big month. I'm gonna need a minute.

And as always, thank you for your hard work RatskyWatsky !

Nabbit · Sep 30, 2020

Thanks so much for your hard work RatskyWatsky ! I'm surprised This is Us is coming back already. Did regular network shows start filming again? Last is heard only the CW ones had started filming.

Edit: I see they resumed production last week. Best of luck to them.

Maquiladora · Sep 30, 2020

The Right Stuff
Truth Seekers
The Mandalorian

metsallica · Sep 30, 2020

I haven't really gone through all the descriptions of the new stuff yet, but here's my first pass:

Thursday, 1
(Gangs of London - AMC+)
I won't be subscribing to AMC+ so I guess I need to hope this hits the linear channel at some point, but I've been waiting for this for ages. Love Gareth Evans.

Sunday, 4
The Walking Dead - AMC - 9/8c
This season was OK. I dropped Fear years ago and have no interest in World Beyond, but this finale is a long time coming.

Primal - Adult Swim - 11:30/10:30c
Highlight of the month. Genndy Tartakovsky can do no wrong, and the first half was incredible.

Monday, 5
Soulmates - AMC - 10/9c
Looks interesting, and already renewed for season 2.

Tuesday, 6
Next - Fox - 9/8c
This looks really stupid but it could be fun in a Virtuosity kind of way.

Friday, 9
The Haunting of Bly Manor - Netflix
LOVED the first season but absolutely HATED (don't get me started) Doctor Sleep. So I'm a little over Mike Flanagan at the moment. We'll see.

(The Right Stuff - Disney+)
Eh. Not sure who asked for this and not sure how many times the same story needs to be told. Still, it's a space show so I'll probably give it a look.

Saturday, 10
Eli Roth's History of Horror - AMC - 10/9c
The first season of this was surprisingly great, probably the best of the AMC docuseries.

Wednesday, 21
The Conners - ABC - 9/8c
This has been really enjoyable post-you know. Looking forward to more.

Friday, 23
How To with John Wilson - HBO - 11/10c
Can't find a ton online about this, but it seems like it might be a spoof. It's produced by Nathan Fielder so I'm hoping it's in the vein of Jon Glaser Loves Gear (the best one of these types of shows that nobody has seen), Review, Nathan For You, etc. Maybe one day I'll even watch Nathan For You.

Sunday, 25
The Undoing - HBO - 9/8c
Eh. It's another Sharp Objects or Big Little Lies, both shows that ultimately disappointed. I'll try it, I guess.

The Eric Andre Show - Adult Swim - 12/11c
Sure, why not. Tim and Eric are the worst thing to happen to comedy and Adult Swim since humans first laughed, but Eric Andre is good people.

Friday, 30
The Mandalorian - Disney+
If the rumors are true this will likely be the best Star Wars content in decades. Given that my favorite Star Wars anything is The Clone Wars / Rebels, I am ready.

Truth Seekers - Amazon
Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.

KingFox · Sep 30, 2020

Sheepinator · Sep 30, 2020

Great work with the topic. You weren't kidding, the month is stacked. It's really handy to see it all laid out here.

Btw, the trailer for Oktoberfest has been removed.

Nice to see some horror additions. Looks like there are some new movies too during the month.

Warrior S1 was outstanding, but I don't have Cinemax currently so S2 will have to wait. Similar for Gangs of London and Mandalorian.

Oct 2 Monsterland - Hulu.
Oct 4 Cobra - PBS - Big fan of Begbie.
Oct 4 Primal - Adult Swim.
Oct 9 The Haunting of Bly Manor - Netflix. First season was decent.
Oct 11 The Spanish Princess - Starz.
Oct 14 The Amazing Race - CBS. Nice, it's been far too long.
Oct 16 Helstrom - Hulu.
Oct 16 La Revolution - Netflix.
Oct 18 Top Gear - BBC. They've finally found a good cast that gels together.
Oct 23 Barbarians - Netflix.
Oct 25 The Undoing - HBO. Good cast + HBO.
Oct 30 Truth Seekers - Amazon. In for Nick Frost.

I'm looking forward to the final Supernatural episodes starting next week. And I have Lovecraft Country still to start, and The Boys S2.

snackshack · Oct 1, 2020

Warrior season 2 is this Friday!!!

RatskyWatsky · Oct 1, 2020

Join us in the OT!

Warrior - Season Two - Fridays on Cinemax

Quake1028 · Oct 1, 2020

In September, my wife and I finished up:

Manhunt: Unabomber - Paul Bettany was fantastic in this.

Unbelievable

Ozark Season 1 & 2 - This is just an emotional roller coaster.

I finished up:

Warrior Nun - Slow start, but I really loved this. The last episode especially was incredible.

The Witcher Season 1 - Again loved this, last episode especially had a lot of amazing parts.

We are currently finishing up Ozark Season 3, and I am going through The Umbrella Academy Season 1. The Umbrella Academy is unbelievably good. I can't believe it took me this long to watch it.

Girlfriend and I are still working through Succession Season 2. What an incredible show. Not knowing much about it going in, I was shocked at how funny it was.

Oh yeah, Primal, I missed that before. First season was amazing.

Good to see the return of Primal is getting good reviews - A- from EW

'Primal' returns with more bloody weird prehistoric emo action

Adult Swim's caveman-dinosaur thriller bombs the fantasy genre back to the Stone Age.

Does anyone know where to watch Gangs of London in Canada? We have AMC, but it isn't shown on the channel and I don't see it in demand.

AMC+. Their premium streaming tier, $4.99US I think.

Franich's opinion carries zero weight. Worst reviewer ever.

Just finished the season finale of Ted Lasso. What a great show.

The first two episodes of Monsterland are absolutely awful and depressing. It's like 90% misery porn, 10% horror. Some of the worst things I've watched in recent memory.

Having the town involved in making a commercial in Bless the Harts was a good way to flesh out the citizens more which is needed.

I really enjoyed episode one of AMC's episodic anthology Soulmates. Basically, in the future, there's a test you take take to scientifically match you with your soulmate - the first episode is about what happens when this couple (Sarah Snook and Kingsley Ben-Adir) sees a bunch of people (both single and already married) around them taking the test to ecstatic results and wonders if maybe they should too. Their marriage is solid, but what if they could be happier...

Strong performance by Snook in particular - that scene where her loneliness is heightening her awareness of the people around her holding hands, hugging, kissing, etc. was too relatable :^(

Watched the 2 part Blackish election special. In the 1st half it did seem like they had less people in scenes. The 2nd half animated section did have good likeness' of each character and allowed them to bring Zoey back.

TheNatureBoy · Oct 7, 2020

Just finished watching the return episode of Primal. No words really keeps you engaged with everything that is happening on screen and the sound design remains stellar.

Against all rhyme or reason, and seemingly because they want to please me and only me, The Outpost has already been renewed for Season 4! LINK

Now we can all be as happy as Munt on that donkey.

Room 104 Season 4

Episode 1 - strange but kinda charming. Watch.
Episode 2 - slow moving drug addiction allegory. Skip.
Episode 3 - Dave Bautista plays with wrestling dolls while in therapy. Honestly kinda boring though. Skip.
Episode 4 - Recently divorced woman tries to figure out her next step. Boring and only intermittently funny. Skip.
Episode 5 - Man realizes he's in a multi cam sitcom. Kinda interesting. Watch.
Episode 6 - A woman has a melt down at her best friend. Contrived but sort of compelling. Watch, I guess.
Episode 7 - Foam. Foam.
Episode 8 - strange but kinda charming. Watch.
Episode 9 - big concept (musical featuring time travelling barbarians) but bad execution. Boring and the music sucks. Skip.
Episode 10 - it has its problems but the message still resonates. Watch.
Episode 11 - animated episode about bodies changing. Watch.
Episode 12 - space age allegory for immigration (albeit a bit too slow and vague at times). Watch.

The series ended tonight - I thought it had a higher hit-to-lose than some of the previous seasons. Seems like they got a bit better at telling stories in this format the longer the show went on.

I thought this past season of Room 104 was awful. Just awful. Haven't watched the finale yet but there was maybe one or two OK episodes in the bunch. The quality of the acting (and the actual actors appearing) felt like a huge step down from previous seasons. It also felt a lot cheaper than before, which seemed tough to do.

If this was to be the quality of the show going forward, it won't be missed. Shame, since I really enjoyed previous seasons.

RatskyWatsky · Oct 10, 2020

I always struggled to make it through previous seasons, so maybe I just grew accustomed to the low quality nature of the show by the end of it.

Interesting! Well, in summation I think it was a worthwhile experiment with some good episodes throughout. I generally like the weird stuff the Duplass Brothers get up to and look forward to whatever's next.

I haven't much liked anything I've seen from them - Room 104 as I said I was never much a fan of and Togetherness was fairly blah/mediocre.

Has anyone taken a look at HBO's new limited series Patria? It looks very appealing, and I'm a sucker for these heavy dramas that depict real-life events and history.

I've somehow never heard of it. Looks like it was dumped on HBO MAX with zero fanfare.

Here's a list of ongoing things I've followed without finding a way to really incorporate them in my organized schedule history because it'd be too much hassle:

Rick and Morty
Primal
Dr. Stone
Demon Slayer
Assassination Classroom
Scooby Doo and Guess Who
Killing Eve
Walking Dead World Beyond
Holey Moley
Weakest Link
