Just watched the last episode of the season for AP Bio. I really hope it gets a second season. There is a ton of potential with that set up at the end of the episode. I think I would enjoy watching a reverse "My Name Is Earl".

TV in May 2018 - What are you watching?

I'm always interested to see what happens with shows that were passed on by one network and picked up by another, so I'll be keeping an eye on it for sure.
Auntie Beeb, pls. Of course it is exclusive, it's your goddamn show. But I digress, there is a murderers row of talent attached to this Stephen Frears (Philomena, Florence Foster Jenkins) is directing, Russel T Davies (Queer as Folk, Doctor Who) is writing, Ben Whishaw (London Spy, Spectre), and Hugh Grant (it's Hugh Grant) are starring. Not to mention that the real life events that this is based on is an amalgamation of things I'm into. No definite word on when it's airing, just "soon". Well, "soon" can't come too soon for me.

"soon" according to British TV rules means 4 hours from now.
Show sounds good tho
FX rolling out the first teaser for Mayans MC. Premiere is this Fall. A little disappointing that it isn't Katey Sagal singing the cover.
I had, uh, opinions on it when I caught it in February:
It's poorly written nonsense but if the main draw for you was a sexy woman... just watch porn. Porn exists.
Update on:
It's airing on Sunday May 20th at 9pm on BBC One so this:

Wasn't all wrong.
Any thoughts on Handmaiden's Tale?
I loved Elizabeth Moss in Mad Men though I had less-than-stellar feelings about the foreign film The Handmaiden (I have no idea if they are closely related). I feel like adding another good drama right now. I'm watching Westworld Season 2 right now, which while I'm not thrilled with as a show, does okay as a filler.

The Last OG continues to be a solid mix of comedy and heart. The show isn't outrageously funny, but Tracy Morgan is so likeable you can't help but want his character to win.
Late reply, but it's excellent! Just go in knowing... it's REAL dark and depressing at times. But it's top tier television at the same time!
Thanks guys, I've been watching it recently actually and it has been pretty nice. It took me a while to find the hook outside the base setting, but I'd say I have some investment in seeing where "the bigger picture" leads to in Season 2. Elizabeth Moss is a great fit for it.
I really need to catch up on Mr. Robot S3 this month. I watched the first episode months ago, but haven't watched any since. Just haven't been in the mood (too many shows, always tired).
Also catch up on Fear The Walking Dead. Hopefully this season is at least decent.

I think I'm gonna watch Patrick Melrose on Showtime tonight because it's been getting good reviews. Anyone else?
I'm at work tonight, but it's DVRing and I can't wait to watch it tomorrow. Love Cumberbatch and love most of what Showtime puts out.
And luckily for me HBO Nordic has it. Well I say luckily, HBO Nordic's Mondays (i.e. day after US airing) right now are fucking insane:
Westworld
Fear the Walking Dead
Trust
The Arrangement
Silicon Valley
Real Time with Bill Maher
O Negocio
Barry
Billions
Killing Eve
Wyatt Cenac's Problem Areas
Last Week Tonight
and now Patrick Melrose
Thank christ I gave up on Westworld.
The Handmaiden is completely unrelated. The TV series is based off of a classic book of the same name.
Somehow my plan to re-up Amazon Prime so I could watch Diablo Guardian has resulted me in watching (so far) two and a half seasons of Bosch, which is a compulsively watchable series with reasonable runtimes, season lengths, and an unfortunate affinity for using the phrase "off the reservation" which I assume is a holdover from its roots as a book you'd buy in an airport in the 90s.
In fairness, The Handmaiden is also an adaptation from a book by a fairly noted feminist. Incidentally the book also got adapted into a rather good BBC TV series that retains the book's name; Fingersmith.

I think someone actually exclaims "but he gets results" in either season 3 or 4.
I'm so thankful for them putting The Good Fight on Sundays. So sure the US has #MurderLadySundays*, but we have #MurderMeWithTVMondays
*for the record, this is like my favourite TV related hastag ever and it comes from here

Patrick Melrose was wild. Cumberbunch was great (maybe just a tad over the top) and I liked the way it was shot. Not sure if I want every episode to be quite that manic, but it was a very interesting start nonetheless!
All of the discussion I've seen around Patrick Melrose on Twitter has been about whether it was soup suds or toilet paper up Cumberbatch's ass so it looks like I need to watch this show in order to take part in this important moment in TV discourse history.
(Also the show sounds good apart from that.)

Finally caught up with Agents of Shield, and is ready for that season finale this week. Started Westworld S2 as well but was confused lol. Will have to get caught up with Gotham so I can be ready for the finale this week too, and get back into Riverdale and caught up on The Originals' final season.
It's just one of the best tv shows I've ever seen. Top quality stuff.
I just watched the first two episodes of Cobra Kai and instantly purchased the entire series. I didn't expect it to be as good as it is. I'm also currently in the process of rewatching Burn Notice and nearing the end of my first time watching Scrubs. I'm thinking about starting 12 Monkeys, GLOW and Superstore after i'm done with those.
Yeah, Cobra Kai is great. I need to find some time to watch the last three episodes of the season, but there's so much stuff airing right now that it's a struggle.
FOX upfront trailers are here:

Patrick Melrose is legit as hell. Pretty stunning physicality to the central performance of Benedict Cumberbatch, the writing is sharp, and top tier direction and editing work.
Directed by the guy who did most of Deutschland '83!

Speaking of that, I hope we get a date for Deutschland 86 soon. I think filming wrapped in December?
Always happy to see more people discover this show. Best thing I've watched all year, and wouldn't be surprised if that holds true throughout.
ABC's show with James Roday (Psych) finally has a trailer. This sort of drama is something I would expect on NBC though not ABC.
Will definitely watch though. The entire show seems to be about John who committed suicide but there are flashbacks of things he said and all of the characters are trying to cope with his death? Not 100% sure.

Well episode 4 of season was top tier episode of the whole show so i would continue if i were you.
Haven't watched it yet, but given the quality of the other 13 episodes of the show that's some mighty weak praise.
Last few weeks:
Finished all S1 of Legion in preparation for S2- show is stylish and really unique. Some cases of blatant low budget, and the shadow king design kind of sucks but it's mostly interesting in a "wtf is happening" way.
Silicon Valley S5 - need to watch the finale. Season is alright, only few episodes made me laugh though. Definitely feel like S6 should be the last one before it becomes awful.
Barry - binged episodes 2-7 in one day, nice little show. Barry's love interest is awful and annoying but I appreciate the show actually being pretty good whilst having an absolutely absurd plot.
