It was a good watch and probably holds up for first timers watching nowadays, but definitely overrated by many here.

Basically the same for me, but I only remember 3 things:

Nude
Very overrated
Things hanging in trees

I guess I can go rewatch it now and it'll be like a brand new show.

Exactly. I wouldn't say it is the best show ever, but it certainly is one of my favorite shows ever. It just does a lot of things I really enjoy, and it does them really well.

Have people seen Industry here? I work in Finance so it interest me a lot, wondering if I should add it to my (enormous) backlist.

the six minute tracking shot in ep 4 of TD was amazing and should be the first thing that someone says when asked about memorable scenes
the six second lap riding scene in ep 2 with AD should be the first thing that comes to mind, but the second thing that someone says when asked about memorable scenes

finally finished S1 of The Old Man
the writing could have been better, but there are lots of aspects to enjoy
the casting and acting is pretty phenomenal, especially in regards to the actors in the flashback scenes. so many mannerisms and voice patterns are spot on.
there's also some great camera work and effects. watch the end of the road sequence in the last episode, especially how what happens in the distance directly corresponds to what happens in the foreground. if those were practical effects they were executed beautifully. if they were special effects there is a nice attention to detal that makes them real.

A Danish movie series called "Department Q" on AMC+ featuring a detective who isn't a genius but is obsessively dogged. The old and cold cases are dark and disturbing, but it held my attention throughout. The lead actor also starred in another Danish drama called "Bedrag", or "Follow The Money", which was also pretty good.

The three Department Q films, in chronological order, are called "The Keeper of Lost Causes "The Absent One", and "A Conspiracy of Faith".

Beavis and Butthead reacting to Youtubes and TikToks is what the world has been missing. I died at the Harvard one.

I was bored and watched a documentary miniseries Wodstock 99' - Trainwreck on Netflix, I don't usually like documentaries, but that was a good watch, the story is well known, but the presentation is paced really well, plus the depths of incompetence on display are truly amazing

my favourite part was when they were surprised by the presence of many dickhead-frat-guy types at a festival with Korn and Limp Bizkit as headliners

Apparently the main organizer did not know artists they were inviting, he just wanted whatever acts were big at the time

First 2 episodes of The Boys was great, then it's been total trash. Does it pick up at the end of season 1 or in later seasons?

I am 4 or 5 episodes in and enjoying it. It seems to be getting decent scores so far as well:

8.3/10 IMDb
84% Rotten Tomatoes
94% Google users liked this TV show

I keep seeing that Mankind is great, I have only watched the 1st season a few years ago so far.

Outer Range is great, Terminal list is good, Banner is Meh.

I can't seem to get into Only Murders and The Boys, but will finish them both eventually.

I don't think anyone is afraid to have a different opinion than IMDb consensus after they've watched something. Regardless, it's a very useful tool to look at. When you watch a show that is pretty good at first, then seems to be declining and you're wondering whether it might be a good idea to pull the plug, Ratingraph is invaluable for helping you make an informed call.
