Apparently Ballers is doing an e-sports thing next season. I'm interested in that. People! Would I like this show?

[Tkasto]

Went to watch the first episode of the new season of The Challenge on MTV, when I saw they have a new professional wrestling documentary show. Following Gabe Sapolsky, Darby Allin, MVP, etc. After watching the first episode, I do recommend checking it out.

Speaking of MTV shows, the previews for this past season of Catfish seemed to hint that amongst the firsts, they were going to have an episode where they actually didn't catch the Catfish. That didn't happen.

R.I.P. 

She was also on Overhaulin', and I am more familiar with her from that than from Mythbusters. 

 

Honestly, I was mistaken about who I was thinking of.  I had actually been thinking of Scottie Chapman.  It took me a bit to remember Jessi was the woman who filled in for Kari when she was out on maternity leave

[GhostMachine]

Yes, she was. According to  IMDB, she was on 7 episodes of Mythbusters, 8 episodes of Overhaulin'. I only saw one or two episodes of Mythbusters with her, but probably 5 of Overhaulin'.

Its a shame the B-Tean's Netflix series, the White Rabbit Project, only got one season.

Did you watch it?  I loved Kari, Tory and Grant, but the White Rabbit Project was....not good

[GhostMachine]

It wasn't horrible, but I thought it was pretty decent. 

Adam has a new show called Savage Builds now, and had Tory in the last episode., where they built devices for a food fight.

Do you like watching the Rock wear dope suits, sleep with incredibly beautiful women and screw up all the time yet end up on top? Then this is the show for you!

[tristy]

Kinda helps if you've seen the previous seasons, too. Keep in mind the esports storyline will be a minor one, compared to the two main arcs that'll happen this season. Plus add in that there's several other characters that have their own stories happening too. So it'll only get like 5ish minutes an episode, probably. Soemtimes a little more, but it won't ever be the main focus. It's a football show, first and foremost.

I gave up shortly into season two when I realised it was just pricks being pricks and never getting a comeuppance.

Not even the Rock's genuine likeability could get me past that.

I'm thinking it's time to rewatch Parks & Rec.

"8 to 12 players" line still kills me.

This should be green too, how did this happen?

[Gorka]

Really wasn't keen on Killing Eve Season 2.

I wasn't surprised to see P-WB had less involvement in this season.

[Lint]

Didn't even know S3 of GLOW was out on Netflix

[apsham]

Man, most of Parks and Rec didn't age well for me. But Ben is evergreen.

[Cymbols]

Restarted watching Suits - the early few seasons, when it was good.

Also just watched the first season of Derry Girls, which is hilarious.

My issue with the way he words everything is that he says he doesn't hate transgender people and that people can do whatever they want, but then his jokes invalidate that belief. He punches down instead of punching up. And he did the latter so well in his prime, which is why it's so disappointing to see him make trans jokes and defend sexual abusers. 

It is easier to punch down.

Which parts didn't age well? I remember feeling uncomfortable at all the Louis CK stuff, and some Tom parts are awful.

Finishing up Hulu's Catch-22 mini series.  6 episodes.  Really liked it.  Never read the book or watched the original movie so I liked coming into it fresh
