@Em0nM4stodon I did not know #Taskmaster yet, a couple of months ago. I do now. It is great.
@bammerlaan I binged watched all the series last year. Taskmaster is amazing to take a break from the sorrow of the world.
@Em0nM4stodon Ok, it was really heavy but "Half Man" on HBO was excellent
What is this tv thing you speak of?
@SpaceLifeForm I need it to cope with the world. It's emotional support tv for me 
@Em0nM4stodon not watching TV at all.
@Em0nM4stodon The Capture. Slow Horses.
@Em0nM4stodon somebody feed Phil 😁
@Em0nM4stodon Barry (2018). Just learned it existed less than a month ago. Watched it all, loved it. Especially loved Hank. I felt so bad for Barry.
@Em0nM4stodon Heated Rivalry: the script, acting, editing, music, production values. And a beautiful story. And the allies! (In particular, Kip’s dad - minimal screen time but quietly impactful.)
@Em0nM4stodon Last Samurai Standing (released Nov 2025) and Straight to Hell (released April 2026), both on Netflix.
The former gives a decent if fictional insight into the zaibatsu families/corporations and the damage they wreaked on Japan's transition into the modern age. The second was fascinating for being based on a real person.
The Art of Sarah, a short thriller series, well written and well produced, but most notable for Shin Hye-sun's performance as the lead. She is extraordinary.
@Em0nM4stodon Masterchef Australia
@Em0nM4stodon Crossing Jordan (rewatch)
The Best overall: The Americans (rewatch)
The Best non-rewatch: Paradise (yes, I'm behind with everything, but I want to watch Season 2 this year as well to get up-to-date)
The Best from 2026 itself: Memory of a Killer
The Best non-English: The Eastern Gate (Przesmyk)
@Em0nM4stodon Very late to the party, but I really enjoyed The Expanse.
@Em0nM4stodon »Murderbot« on Apple TV. Also just started »Station Eleven«. Quite promising.
@katzentratschen I really enjoyed Station Eleven, I hope you like it too.
@Em0nM4stodon Neither came out this year, but Umamusume Cinderella Gray was a great sports anime and finally finishing Star Trek Deep Space Nine, which I'm definitely enjoying a lot more than the last time I tried to watch it. Highlights of my 2026 TV watching so far.
The new Ghost in the Shell anime has a lot of potential, but I think my personal politics and feelings about technology might keep me from enjoying it as much as when I first watched Stand Alone Complex.
None. The closest I have gotten to watching a video 'show' is walking by sports bars during the FIFA World Cup this year.
Oh, wait, I was watching France24 for a bit when Israel and the USA attacked Iran.
That seems so 4 months and 18 days of War Crimes ago.
@Em0nM4stodon Widows Bay so far so good! Still watching…
@Em0nM4stodon Basically everything on Dropout, which doesn’t answer your question exactly but I wanted to share 
@Em0nM4stodon Rewatch of Stargate Universe.
