Doesn’t bother me watching people being tortured in a TV show but I have to look away if someone is falling off a scooter or some other dumb thing in one of those video compilation shows or YouTube.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑08 Jan 2020, 4:34pmI sometimes shock myself when I'm aware that I'm deliberately not looking at the screen.

Re: Currently watching.
Yeah, I ain't likely to look at that either. Part of it is also that I've shitloads of that stuff in my life.

I'm 2 episodes into Dracula on Netflix and I'm enjoying it a lot.

I fell asleep during episode 1, but I do that sometimes. I'll give it another go one of these days.BostonBeaneater wrote: ↑09 Jan 2020, 12:31amI'm 2 episodes into Dracula on Netflix and I'm enjoying it a lot.

Re: Currently watching.
We still need to watch the last one but the first two were compelling. I like the guy who plays Dracula. He was very good at being a charming scumbag.JoseUnidos wrote: ↑09 Jan 2020, 10:28amWe finished watching last night and really dug it, altho I'm not sure how I feel about the ending.revbob wrote: ↑09 Jan 2020, 7:39amI fell asleep during episode 1, but I do that sometimes.

Re: Currently watching.
Finished 6th and final season of The Americans. Not sure they won’t be back but great series.
Also finished season 4 of Vikings so only 40 more episodes to go

I've always wanted Scott Bakula to play Dracula.
