So, what is the verdict? I told the kids we had a new Netflix drop to watch and they put their bets on so bad it might be worthwhile watching.
Zoe: Jayne. This is something the Captain has to do for himself. Mal: No! No, it's not!

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

I told Tim I'd wait to watch it with him, which should be tonight. Or sometime this weekend, after Hamilton.

What is even happening?
We do still have to get Disney+ to watch Hamilton.
We re-watched Buffy late last year (and Lost earlier this year).
Is Wynona Earp good, Jess? I eyed it the other night. I remember covering it for work and thinking maybe I'd check it out, but never did.
We settled on Vikings, but it's not really scratching the fighting evil itch.
So far, Vikings is not the smoothest series to watch, at least on streaming. I remember, even during TWD and FTWD storylines I couldn't stand, I had to watch the next episode, because those shows (regardless of their other flaws) are fricking genius when it comes to ending every damned episode on a cliffhanger.
Also after 10 seasons of TWD and 5 of FTWD, I'd kind of like to watch people who bathe on the regular. Say what you want about Buffy. Her hygiene was excellent.

Vikings is exciting but no, it's not about fighting evil, and the characters you like sometimes do terrible things. I stopped watching after about 3-4 seasons, although I keep thinking I'll check in because I really loved Lagertha.
Wynonna Earp is sort of Buffy x SPN, as a Western. Lots of family lore, and demons, and the occasional mysterious government agency. Wynonna was a fuckup when she was young, and now she's back in town and learns she has inherited the duty to fight demons from her g-g-g-grandfather Wyatt Earp. I mostly enjoyed the first season, haven't gotten back to watch the rest.

We're several seasons behind on Vikings. We dropped a lot of shows when ltc was born, but that is one I'd like to get back to.

I'm two episodes into Warrior Nun, and I've decided I'm calling it EuroBuffy.

I thought that was Hexed?

We only got through Hamilton tonight, but tomorrow: Warrior Nun!

"...and then Legolas and the Hulk destroy the entire Greek army." - Penny Arcade
....that is definitely not how I'd describe Hexed.
You could argue for a "if you like X you might like Y" kind of thing, but it's really not the same kind of show.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I haven't had a chance to watch it myself, but I've heard good things about The Witcher from friends, even those that haven't played the games; if Henry Cavill fighting evil in a ridiculous wig is your thing.
