CommonCents Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Jo Koy stand up on Netflix is hilarious. The first 10 minutes aren’t great, stick it out. He gets funnier as the show goes on. One of the best I have watched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it jumps around a little too much between past/present and I have difficulty to get past the Suspension of Disbelief in a lot of the scenarios as they get played out. Other than some of the faults I hope the writing gets better as I like the premise and acting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The book has quite a few intersecting storylines that make it difficult to adapt to the screen. I think they made a good attempt but I could see people start to tune out because it feels like the story tends to start and stop. Perhaps it will find its pace soon.

The action is good, the story is good. I really liked it. It's about a very rich guy who bought kids that had super powers, he teaches them to fight crime. The drama is in he alienates each of them in his own way which makes them screwed up adults. They need to come together to stop the Apocalypse. So I finally got around to watching the 1st episode. So glad I did. 1st 15-20 minutes were just too slow in the 1st setting I was in, but then damn did it get better!!! Any TV show that can pull off putting They Might be Giants in a fight scene gets an A+ in my book Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricojes Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Just finished season the 2nd season of Broadchurch, it's about the murder of young boy in a small town. The first season was good, the second season was very good. Watched the 1 episode of the 3rd and final season last night and I am not sure where it will go, but overall a very good show. It's British, takes place in a small town in Ireland, so you have to deal with the accents. Also, it's more real life actors. So if you're used to the sexy detective and/or suspects which is generally the case in the US, this isn't the show for you. https://www.netflix.com/title/70302484 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might try Happy Valley, Hinterland or Jack Taylor. They all have the same feel and good plots. I happened to select Happy Valley because of the name and it wasn't anything like I expected. I wasn't expecting a detective show at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another one that's worth checking out would be Shetland...its a Scottish detective show set on the Shetland islands in Scotland.....the scenery alone is great on that show. I also enjoyed Ripper Street....obviously set in Victorian England just after the Jack the Ripper murders. I also suggest using the closed captioning for anyone who finds British or Scottish accents challenging to understand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's set in modern times but the first series revolves around Jack the Ripper copycat murders. The police even employ a "Ripperologist" to help them try and catch the killer. The second series centres around the same police team trying to capture criminals who copy the style of the Kray twins. There are more series but the first two I considered the best.

Nextmanup Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 We finished watching episodes 1 and 2 of "The Umbrella Academy" tonight on Netflix. It's been quite good and I really enjoyed it, even though I am not really into the "comic book" or super hero sort of genre. I recommend it.

I'm thinking it will be the next one I watch once I finish up with Titans which has been pretty good. Around the same time i saw the episode about it, i saw commercials for the spin off 'Doom Patrol' which might be interesting. Also waiting to watch the latest season of Arrested Development, and at the tend of the month Netflix has an Animated 'Trailer Park Boys' series starting. This seems to be a trend starting here in Canada turning our shows into animated series, started with Corner Gas, now Trailer Park Boys. It is easier to reboot them that way after some of the cast members die (Brent's mom Emma died recently, Mr Lahey died just before their last season was released IIRC) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Buffalo Joe Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I've seen it mentioned a few times, but my wife and I both enjoyed The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Genuinely funny with a good plot. The guy that played Lenny Bruce is dead on. I know it's not a streaming original, but This Is Us is better than I ever wanted to admit.

Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is one of the best to come around in awhile. Not one bad episode and Season 2 mimicked Seaaon 1 in terms of how good it was. What a brilliant show and so perfectly cast. breasts up that Seaaon 3 is great too! The Catskills episodes were filmed last summer not to far from me in Deposit, NY. About 30 mins east of Binghamton on the Broome Co/Delaware River where the Catskills just about start. The casted a bunch of locals for extras and I recognized a few. Pretty cool!

Then switched to "Stranger Things" which we enjoyed until we ran out of shows. Then it was "The Umbrella Academy" which we really enjoyed until we ran out of shows. We are on a roll, 3 for 3 in terms of great TV. So what should be next? Your recommendations please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
