  1. "Halt and Catch Fire" is high on my list of must-watch TV series. It's a drama set in the emerging personal-computing era of the 80s. A nostalgia for modems and CRTs might grab you, but it's the characters you'll stick around for.

    Recently surfaced on HN, this 2021 writeup explains why it's special:

    It's available to AMC+ subscribers, and all four seasons are currently free on The Roku Channel:

    A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (HBO, 2026) - Episodes 1-3

    Chemistry between Ser Duncan the Tall and squire Egg powers this funny, bawdy, medieval buddy sitcom based on G.R.R. Martin's Dunk & Egg novellas.

  3. Serious #Downfall vibes in the series finale of #Rome. I’m not an educated classicist and I know they had to change things for the show and its collapsing budget by this point, but I’m a bit skeptical that the real story was like this.

    No wonder people see this show as a precursor to Game of Thrones - I may get round to watching that. I’ll have to rewatch season 1 later.

    I also just bought Ten Caesars and will read it soon.

  4. Friends on the other site know that I'm a "Station Eleven" superfan. I'm not alone: here's a quote from the latest New Yorker newsletter. If you haven't watched it yet, give yourself this present over the holidays. #StationEleven #HBO #prestigeTV

  5. A few weeks ago, I finally succumbed and watched #HouseOfTheDragon. It was inferior enough to #GoT that I decided to rewatch the first series (which, in the spirit of full disclosure, I had only seen the first three seasons of). The story has a grand and magnificent complexity, but, on this second viewing, I am turned off by the unrelenting sadism of the violence. My question for the void: is this just me getting old?

  6. Finished up Season 1 of Outer Range last night. A true brain fuck from the go. I mean that as a compliment. #tv #prestigetv
