TV shows you most recently finished watching

TV shows you most recently finished watching, at least until the latest "season", or "series" in the British sense.

While I had seen some of it, I was really late to the party with watching through Twin Peaks. I loved it. I have a subscription to something called Crave with HBO and Showtime on demand, they have the 2017 return series, but I wanted to go back and watch all of the first two seasons (1990) and the 1992 movie Fire Walk with Me (still have that to see).

The first season I adored, the second season was spotty but I enjoyed much more than many, and I thought the third season was quite brilliant (it would test many people's patience). Kyle MacLachlan really shone in that. And how can this be? For he is the Kwisatz Haderach! Oh wait, sorry, that's Dune.

Before that I pretty much binged The Wactchmen's first series, which I loved too, and is quite timely. I liked the movie version very much.

I thought about doing this as a Twin Peaks appreciation thread, but I only know of a few at PA who have been really into it. Going to watch Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me soon.

What are some of your most recently completed (at least up to now) TV series?

Almost too many to name....but a few of my favorites were:

^ I like the look of Bored to Death. Longtime admirer of Ted Danson. Gonna look for it.

^^ Longmire is on my list of things to watch.

Well, I'm Canadian, and I finally watched all of the original seasons of Twin Peaks which are four years older as well as the 2017 version. I think it's interesting when one finally watched some classic (had actually thought about approaching this topic from that angle, rather like how I was late to Game of Thrones). I caught some of Due South back in its original run. I hadn't remembered it being that old. Paul Gross's Mountie would have made for an interesting team-up with Kyle MacLachlan's FBI special agent Dale Cooper. Twin Peaks featured a Mountie in season two, but it wasn't Paul Gross. ;)

Watching Twin Peaks finally kind of made me feel like I really miseed out back then, but I wasn't quite at that age or place for Water Cooler type discussions. I was quite embarrassed in one of my Uni classes (playwriting) when everyone was talking about Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me and they seemed very surprised and wary of me because I hadn't followed Twin Peaks. I lost out on some of my artsy cred that day (not that I ever really had any).

My favourite Canadian shows, by the way, have been The Newsroom, Kids in the Hall and LEXX. And I loved SCTV, and Bizarre, as a kid.

Chernobyl - superb!

^ My students were really pushing me to watch it, but it's taken me till lockdown to give it the attention it deserved!

Just finished Third day also....watching Supernatural since there are only 3 or 4 episodes left.

Just finished the first season of "Raised By Wolves".  Wow!  

I've been working on sci-fi series that I missed when they were originally on the air. I finished watching Firefly and the follow-up Serenity film about a month ago. Currently watching Farscape and just finished season 2.

^ Oh LEXX. One of a kind show!
