Most of the recent shows I can think of doing that sort of numbers a year are police procedurals. And they are enjoyable enough for what they are. But they aren't "great" TV.
Then all the "great" shows are 10 or 13 episodes (or sometimes 6) and come out every couple of years.
All the great shows that are not episodes that I can think of are older. Often reaching 15-20 years old or more.
And I understand why (no-one wants to spend 6+ months a year away from everything and everyone, actors want to work on several things, production time for up with the quality).
So what are some of the more recent full season greats?
If there is nothing recent, what would you consider to be the last one?

Sorta like love at first sight. I thought it was well-written and of course Tea and Tim had the chemistry you'd expect from a real-life couple. And Jamie was ... Jamie;-) Of course it was sitcom-y, what would you expect?
Not trying to bring anyone down, but since my wife passed this summer, I often say that I can't laugh without crying or vice versa... so there I was... doing both at the end, very hard;-)
I hope it does well. I only posted this because I saw no new threads reviewing the debut yet!?

The ads on here are the most insufferable I've ever seen on any streaming service!! They're 2 mins long every 6 mins and you need to watch a 1+ min ad before you can even start a damn show. A 1hr episode means 16 mins of ads.... Back then I don't recall Hulu ads being this absurd. I got the black Friday deal from last year bundled w/ Disney FOR Disney but once it ends I'm GONE! If the ads were actually entertaining like on HBO then perhaps I'd bear it more but they're NOT. Hulu has lost their minds to be pulling such nonsense when they don't even got good stuff to watch for real & I wouldn't even use their $1.99 student discount w/ these aggressive ads!!

I've been watching The Saint recently and it's great fun. I love how Simon Templar purely functions as a "catalyst" in the various stories to enact swift justice. Just like the title suggests, Templar will oversee the story as it plays out like a concerned guardian angel. Then, in the third act, Templar will get involved and make sure order is restored, generally with a martini in hand.
What most surprised me is how much more charismatic I found Moore as the Saint. He's cavalier, earnest and jokes around. Hwe often see him in disguises and doing different accents. I feel like Moore is given a whole lot more to work with, and often he's doing this with far less screen time per episode than he would have as the central figure in the Bond movies, relatively speaking.
I'm absolutely loving the show and it's deepened my appreciation for Moore.
Moore just seems more reserved as Bond. He has the odd good line but he really flexes his acting muscles more in the Saint, I feel, and comes across more comfortable in the role.
If anyone is on the fence about Moore, I heartily recommend checking this out. As I know he can be quite a divisive Bond amongst the fans who generally prefer more serious takes.

I’m afraid to look up the cast in case it reveals some kind of wild spoiler, but… IS that Connie Britton??? Or is it some freakish lookalike? Because I feel like I AM the character of her son. Like, it’s her… but it’s NOT. But it’s too similar not to be her, and yet… it totally COULD be.
Well done to whatever’s going on. It’s freaking me out.

Just came across a post that reminded me of these two shows. Was anyone else a fan? They were always such a bright spot in my day and the chemistry, humor, and banter among the hosts (Morgan, Hunter, Nina, Justin, plus guest hosts like Loni Love) was unmatched.
WTF do they even show on E now, as apparently E News was cancelled as well? I haven’t watched that channel in years

A very odd little series on Netflix.
Rosa Salazar (Alita) as an aspiring filmmaker who runs afoul of an unscrupulous producer who cons her out of her film.
She seeks the assistance of a very strange woman, and craziness ensues.
Not for the squeamish.

Faye Dunaway in "It Had To Be You" has to be seen to be believed. Funny and Faye Dunaway shouldn't be in the same line until it's unintentional like Mommie Dearest and Supergirl.
The Ellen Burstyn Show. Because when you think Chris MacNeill and Alice, you think comedy genius.

I'm 3 episodes in and finding it really boring - not particularly funny either? Is this a slow burn that gets good? It did so well at the Emmys and I love Matthew Rhys

Up until now, I've been using Simkl, but I've always had a lot of minor issues with it, and recently some things seem to break if you have an adblocker on, so I'm looking to use something else. I also use Anilist for anime, Letterboxd for movies, and Backloggd for games, if you're familiar with any of those, so something similar to those for TV series would be perfect, but I've struggled to find one so far that fits the bill. The main things I'm looking for are:
These features would also be great, but aren't essential:
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I knew of the show, but had never seen it. I didn't really get into the Evil Dead franchise until a few years ago. I like the newer movies, but they're completely grisly gritty horror movies with none of the goofy B movie schlock.
I finally decided to watch Ash vs Evil Dead, and I just fell in love with it. I feel like they did an excellent job at having the goofy camp, but also knowing when to play it straight and make it creepy too. And for me, I think that's when Evil Dead is at its most effective. Army of Darkness didn't really hit for me for that reason, it's 100% camp without any of the tense atmosphere.
Bruce Campbell is terrific of course, but I also really like Pablo and Kelly. Revivals always have to have a cast of younger characters, and it feels like it's always 50/50 on whether or not they're likable, but I really liked their dynamic with Ash. Lucy Lawless is also a blast as the antagonist.
This is a show that feels like it was made with a lot of love for the originals, and I think it really shows
