I was today years old when I realized that I guess a bunch of people just start watching shows from the final season instead of the beginning.

I am genuinely curious, why wouldn't you start from the beginning? You're the third person in this thread that has done that and it's kind of blowing my mind



I haven't done this for other shows. But the reason I've never watched Euphoria is I was never drawn to a show about fricked up highschool kids. Right or wrong (and despite emmy wins or nominations) I've never thought of if as a great show I needed to see. Going into the last season with a time jump and changing of character lives from HS to post highschool and it only being 6 episodes felt like it would be easy enough to jump in and watch. Plus it will be the in cultural show at the moment.

think this is what I plan to do


I wouldn't recommend it for every show or season but I think it works for this for a couple of reasons.

It was a show set in highschool that is now catching up with the characters out of school and the time jump. The show is catching regular viewers up so as a new viewer it worked.
I'm back. I've only ever watched this episode and i thought it was pretty entertaining. The previously on and flashbacks/narration told me who everyone was. I think there were only 2 people that I assumed I was supposed to know and just rolled with it.

You should start the entire series and eventually catch up as to why Zendaya is a drug mule in the first place .


I can’t imagine ever dropping into a show 3 seasons in with no idea of what’s happening or who is who



On one hand you are right, but the truth is I'm never going to watch Euphoria unless something from this season grabs me and makes me want to see the earlier seasons. I am going to play this season as I need to figure out their backstories and I can go to the Internet or friends if I need to know something later.

I've never been interested in Euphoria and I don't think of it as one of the great shows like The Wire or The Sopranos that I will be lost if I jump in on a later season. I think from just living in culture and hearing people talk about the show for the last several years I can keep up and if I can't I'll bail.
I've never seen a second of Euphoria but I might jump in to this season blind. Zendaya as a drug mule and Sweeny as an OF creator seems like it might be enough for me to tap in.

Thanks, I've been wanting to check this out.
C. J. Box has had 2 TV series based on his books.

There was a Mark Harmon tv movie (I think) based on John Sanford's Prey books. Per Google there was also an Eriq LaSalle one but I've never seen either. I just learned about the Harmon one a few weeks ago, it must be streaming somewhere, I remember reading the plot and realizing it was a Lucas Davenport movie.

I read some of the Prey books a long time ago and have thought about just jumping back into them.

I described it as "Zodiac with dropkicks. 5 stars" in my Letterboxd review a few years ago. Time for a rewatch I think.

I thought Mother! was great and really liked Okja too. But I also liked Mickey 17 (and the books it's based on) so I might just be in the tank for everything Bong does.

There are a few 30 Rock episodes that are gone I believe. I think they are all race related.

It's on Britbox but I'm now sure if it's censored or not. I watched it on DVD years ago. If you tell me where it's censored I can watch that scene and let you know.
8 episode season dropped today. This is based on Patricia Cornwell's series of books. There are 29 books in the series. I'm not seeing much buzz about this show, seems kinda strange. Nicole Kidman, Jamie Lee Curtis, Bobby Canavale, Ariana DeBose star.

Anyone interested in this one?
I didn't know that was happening. I loved the book, reminded me of Frederik Backmans style.
I read that Wash was revived as an android in the Firefly comics but I have never actually read the comics.

I also saw speculation that they would be playing some form of a Firefly D&D type of campaign but that's just a rumor.
Love the cast. Song Kang-Ho is great in everything.
Malcolm X is too long but he's phenomenal in it.

I really wish we had gotten more Easy Rawlins movies out of him, Devil in a Blue Dress is very good and there's over a dozen books in that series.
Remember the monkey ones? Bored ape yacht club I think it was called. I've never understood something less in my life.
If you are trying to finish off some Oscar films.

Zero Parades for Dead Soldiers demo

Posted by TIGERSTORM on 3/1/26 at 1:33 pm
It's part of Steam Next Fest which apparently ends tomorrow but has 100s of free demos.

Anyways, this is the follow-up from the studio that brought Disco Elysium, but I think most of the developers are not there anymore. Anyone checked it out or know anything about it?
