I still watch a lot of tv tv and regular shows are just so nice. Thursday night lineup on CBS isn't as good as it used to be, but every Thursday for a few months it's still exciting to have a plan.

So, my current Plex statistics:

249 TV series
104 anime
75 live action
70 animation (excluding anime)


Notable Shows I'm interested in getting:
Live action: The West Wing, Boardwalk Empire, Peaky Blinders, West World, Veep
Notable animation: Venture Bros, The Simpsons S9+ (I'm planning on getting up to Season 15, I have seen people give different answers on how much of it is good to watch. Somewhere between Season 9 and 13 usually.)

Silly Netflix, I was able to buy The Walking Dead for $60.  /jk


Does anyone watch these? They have 6 spin-offs.

Apparently it's really popular with the young people.  But it doesn't seem like any of the series are considered to be as good as the original.

I see it on tv from time to time but I haven't watched more than a few minutes. The ads are always pretty funky, like I think one was teasing that they turned zombies into green goo and that burned to make electricity.

Uhhhhh I'm not sure about this

Spoken like someone who hasn't watched Blade Runner 2049.

(I'm kind of joking.)

I don't know, I think Bautista is a good choice.

I mean I like Bautista but just not sure if Kratos is the fit. But could be fine

Bautista is not a good kratos from the games imo, but maybe he can make his own version still work.

His humor comes from his lack of comprehension. He's kinda a doofus.

What we need is Alan Ritchson. Makes superman look smol

I'm pretty sure he has done other things.

I feel like I have like 95% of the shows I want to get, and it's a weird feeling.

Name one role where Batista is a main character (so not blade runner) where he has a more kratos style aura
