What are you watching right now?

I'm watching Letterkenny all the way through again, which is WONDERFUL, and Somebody Somewhere which is also really enjoyable.

  • With my wife we’ve been watching mostly Seinfeld or Escape to the Chateau right now, but got hooked on The Traitors. We’ve caught up on season 2 of the U.S. run so we’re stuck waiting for new episodes each week. Once that ends we’re planning to try the UK and Australian editions since they’re also on Peacock, and might try to find a way to watch the Canadian, French Canadian, and French editions when we’re done.

    On my own I’m slowly making my way through the first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation.

    • We loved Chateau and watched the spin off (Make do and Mend).

      Tell me that it is worth sticking with The Traitors! I heard a lot about it and watched S1E1 of the US series. It kinda just felt like Survivor.

      • We actually started with Chateau DIY, which I think has been our favorite. They follow three different owners working on different projects in an episode, usually across several episodes.

        I’ve actually never been a big Survivor or Big Brother viewer but have watched a few seasons of each. The game itself is different, because the Faithfuls are specifically trying to eliminate the Traitors at the end of the day, so it’s less about trying to get rid of people who you don’t like and more about deduction. At the Round Table where suspected Traitors are banished the votes are written on chalkboards then publicly revealed one by one, so there’s no hiding behind anonymous ballots. The game really is the party game Mafia, and a lot of people in the first two seasons have clearly never played before. They start understanding after a few episodes, though. I’ve enjoyed what I’ve seen a lot more than Survivor or Big Brother. The veterans of those shows often start with an advantage, but usually misunderstand the differences and make a critical misstep along the way.
