Which of FX’s upcoming offerings pique your interest the most? Let us know in the comments.
I’m going to have to re-watch season one of The Old Man. I really enjoyed it but it’s been so long I don’t remember how it ended. Not much else to watch right now so may as well do it.
Loved season one of Old Man. Hate that season two is only eight episodes, but I’ll take what I can get.
what about what we do in the shadows?
It’s been so long since The Old Man ended, I can’t remember it. I just know it was really good. Hopefully FX will replay the first season before Season 2 starts. And no, I do not stream. Summer TV is pretty bad…..
Is Ryan Murphy/FX skipping American Horror Story this fall?
I’m so happy S02 of The Old Man is *finally* on the books! I was seriously worried that it was going to go the typical “Let’s drop this series with absolutely no resolution to the story, as streaming platforms are wont to do. Thank you Streaming Gods wherever you are!! 👍 👍 👍 👍
You want to know what piques my interest? I’ll tell you what piques my interest. Release dates for SAS Rogue Heroes S2, The Handmaid’s Tale S6, The Night Agent S2, Silo S2, and Reacher S3.
