You know what's been bugging me lately? How many TV shows are just so... draining?! 
I mean, don't get me wrong, some of these shows can be super entertaining, but have you seen the amount of stress and anxiety they're pouring into our screens? 
Like, think about it - The Boys is basically a show about vigilantism, Jack Ryan's got all that spy drama, and even The Underground Railroad is dealing with some heavy historical trauma. And then there's I'm a Virgo... um, no thanks 
. It's just too much for me to handle sometimes. But at the same time, I do love getting lost in a good story, you know? So maybe what I need to work on is finding those shows that are more uplifting and balanced out with some self-care vibes 
. Has anyone else been feeling this way?

Has anyone else been feeling this way?can u believe it's already october 2025 and we're still stuck on these same old tv shows? i mean dont get me wrong, the boys is still my go-to for some sick action scenes but jack ryan is getting a bit too formulaic if u ask me 
. i'm a huge fan of the underground railroad though, it's like the showrunners actually got to tap into somethin real for once. and whats up with people watchin' i'm a virgo tho? like, isnt that just some weird astrology nonsense? anywayz, its gonna be interesting to see what the rest of 2025 brings. maybe we'll get some new blood on the scene or something

. Like, we all know Viorgos are planners and organized, but how does that translate to cartoon form? Would they have neat little schedules and to-do lists for everything? 
And would their love lives involve a lot of astrological sign-matching? 
Either way, it's gotta be funny! 
. Like, we all know Viorgos are planners and organized, but how does that translate to cartoon form? Would they have neat little schedules and to-do lists for everything?

. I mean, they're just trying to squeeze more money out of us by charging extra for their "original content". And what's with all these reality shows like "I'm a Virgo"? Like, who cares about someone's zodiac sign? It's not like it's going to change your life or anything.
And don't even get me started on the superhero shows like The Boys and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Just because they're popular doesn't mean they're good. I mean, have you seen the latest season of The Boys? All that violence and darkness just to entertain us? No thanks.
I still prefer my old-school TV shows like Jack Ryan or The Underground Railroad. At least those ones are decent dramas without all the extra fluff. Netflix is trying too hard to be cool and trendy, but sometimes I think they forget what's really important: good storytelling.

I mean, have you seen some of these shows? Like, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is literally my all-time fave, but then again, it's not like it's that deep or anything... I was watching an episode the other day and I was like "meh" after 10 minutes . But at the same time, I love how it makes me laugh every time 
. And don't even get me started on Jack Ryan - it's so intense! 
but also kinda cheesy? Like, Tom Clancy would be all like "this is realistic" and I'd be over here like "no way, dude 
". But overall, I think The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel has some serious competition from... wait, no it doesn't. It's still my #1 
.Just watched the trailer for "The Boys" and I am SO here for it 
. I've been saying it's time for some grown-up superheroes to take over, you know? All those buff boys running around in their fancy suits getting saved by someone else is just not realistic anymore . This show looks like it's gonna tackle some dark stuff and I am LIVING for it 
. The cast is incredible too - I'm a huge fan of Karl Urban, he's always been underrated IMHO .
I also noticed how "I'm a Virgo" is actually a Netflix docu-series and not just another fake self-improvement show. It looks so real and raw, I might have to binge-watch it myself. And "The Underground Railroad"... wow, just wow 
. The historical context and the way they're telling this story is gonna be so powerful. And have you seen the latest season of "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel"? That show is still giving me LIFE

i mean dont get me wrong its funny and all but its not like its real life or anything i just cant relate to that level of privilege id rather be watchin somethin like Jack Ryan or The Boys thats more my speed 
at least those shows show some actual action goin on

, have you seen any good shows lately? Like, seriously, what's with all these amazing TV series coming out right now? From The Boys to The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, it's like the writers are just pouring their hearts and souls into these stories. And can we talk about Jack Ryan for a sec? Tom Clancy would be so proud of how well they're adapting his books into a show! Interesting 
, I've been meaning to check out The Underground Railroad too... heard great things about it from friends

Interesting , I've been meaning to check out The Underground Railroad too... heard great things about it from friends i mean, have you seen these tv show recommendations lately? they all seem soooo good! i've been meaning to watch the boys for ages now, but haven't had the chance yet. i've heard it's super dark and gritty, kinda like that one show i love (you know which one 
). jack ryan is another one on my list, seems pretty intense. i'm a bit curious about I'm a Virgo though... sounds like some sort of personality test? anyway, the underground railroad looks really important, gotta learn more about it. and oh man, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is like, totally my spirit animal . have you seen any of these shows? what are your thoughts?!

I just looked at the latest Nielsen numbers and it's crazy! The Boys is still killing it with 2.5 million viewers per episode, while Jack Ryan took a hit but still doing decent with 1.8 mil On the other hand, I'm a Virgo got crushed by 0.4 mil And don't even get me started on The Underground Railroad's 0.3 mil But you know what? The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is still a force to be reckoned with at 1.2 mil and its viewership has been steadily increasing over the past few seasons 
So yeah, these numbers are pretty telling... we're clearly living in an era of changing viewer habits Anyway, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is still my fave, what about you?

I think people are way too harsh on some TV show creators . Like, have you seen the episodes of Jack Ryan where he's saving the world from terrorists? It's not exactly subtle, but I guess that's what makes it so good . And The Boys is definitely pushing boundaries with its themes and violence, but I think it's a commentary on the darker side of society that we need to see.
I mean, who hasn't felt like they're stuck in a mundane life, right? That's basically what I'm a Virgo is about – embracing the weirdness of being an introverted earth sign
. And The Underground Railroad was just so beautifully crafted and educational, I don't think it's fair to say that it was "problematic" (at least, not in the way some people are implying). It was a powerful exploration of American history, for sure.
As for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel... yeah, she can be a bit much sometimes, but that's part of her charm, right? I think we're just jealous because she's living this amazing life and we're not

the way they portray the true story of harriet tubman is just so inspiring! 
and omg, the cinematography in "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" is insane i mean, who wouldn't want to be a stand-up comedian in the 1950s?! also, has anyone else tried watching "I'm a Virgo" yet? it's kinda weird how they're just sharing their astrological sign and life experiences on TV but hey, if you're into that sorta thing, go for it! and what about "The Boys"? is it still worth the hype? i mean, it's got some pretty wild action scenes 
but sometimes it feels like they're just trying too hard to be edgy and "Jack Ryan" is just so... basic i mean, can't we get some more original spy shows on there? 
anyway, what are your thoughts on these TV shows? have you watched any of them?

like the boys is literally my fave show ever - it's so dark and twisted but in a good way you know? i love how the main character, homelander, is just so...human despite being a superhero or whatever. anyway, i also really enjoyed jack ryan - it's like such a thriller fest with all those explosions and car chases 
but what really caught my attention was the underground railroad - it's so beautiful but also super heartbreaking lol. the way they depicted the Underground Railroad as this secret network of people helping each other escape slavery was just wow. i'm def adding that one to my watchlist again soon.
and yeah, i'm a total sucker for a good period drama too like The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel - her accent is everything 
and the way she navigates this crazy world of comedy in 1950s new york is just so inspiring. all in all, great shows if u haven't seen them yet!

TV shows, you know what they say - "too much TV, not enough life"... just kidding! I mean, seriously though, have you seen all these awesome shows lately? I'm obsessed with "The Boys", it's like the government of superheroes - corrupt and out of control! And don't even get me started on Jack Ryan, that guy is like a human version of a coffee machine - always stirring up trouble and saving lives at the same time 
️. But for real though, I'm also loving "I'm a Virgo", it's like my zodiac sign came to life! And can we talk about how amazing "The Underground Railroad" is? It's like the ultimate escape plan - but instead of tunnels, it's people escaping oppression and finding freedom 
. And lastly, I'm not even mad that I'm binge-watching "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" - she's got some serious sass and a wardrobe that's on point

I mean, The Boys is like the ultimate dark horse - it's like, who knew this gritty show would be so addictive? 
And then there's Jack Ryan, which is more action-packed than a Tom Clancy novel . But what's got me scratching my head is I'm a Virgo... seriously who writes this kind of show? It's just too perfect, like it's scripted or something . And don't even get me started on The Underground Railroad - I mean, I love how it's pushing boundaries and all that jazz, but some parts feel like they're trying too hard to be "thought-provoking" . The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is still my fave though, it's just so beautifully shot and the writing is top-notch . What about you guys, got any thoughts on these shows?

What about you guys, got any thoughts on these shows?I mean have you seen The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel on Amazon Prime? It's sooo good!!! I love Midge's sass and the way the show is shot, it's like a time machine to the 50s! And can we talk about Tom Hiddleston in Jack Ryan? He's like the ultimate spy, bro . But for real though, have you watched The Boys? It's dark, it's twisted, but it's also so thought-provoking. I mean, what do we get when we idolize power and celebrity culture? Not a pretty sight. And don't even get me started on the sci-fi stuff in The Underground Railroad... it's like something out of a fever dream, you know? 
But overall, I'm just here for the thrill rides, and these shows deliver! Can someone make a TV show about Virgo personality traits, though?
