Loving it.   I’m 4 deep.   Prob sneak in two tonite.   

 

 

 

i binged it yesterday.   first few episodes went a little slow as they built up the pubescent and parental relationship dynamics.  but once they got thru that it picked up nicely

 

The Hopper/Russian Agent dynamic went a little Peter Griffin/Giant Chicken

S3 of Black Mirror sucked donkey balls.

Haven't seen them all yet but the video game one was meh at best.  I did like the one with the hostage.

I'm two in right now and I'd say the slow pace is definitely there through them both.  At least it give me the chance to shut it off for the day and not get sucked into watching the entire season in one sitting.

3 episodes in, we rewatched seasons 1 & 2 last week before starting the new season. Wife's now mad cause I have been busy at night with work and can't keep watching right now.

 

I started watching Jessica Jones season 3, it's been pretty good so far. Also just finished watching Good Omens on Prime, that was pretty good too.

Not surprised, once other streaming services created competition, and the networks figured out they could make more money with their own service instead of selling their shows to others, it is just going to turn into cable/satellite tv again, with the only difference being you can pick what you want to watch when you want to watch it.

 

Netflix was great when it had all the content (or the majority of it) and was the only real service around. Now it's just going to get worse because you are going to have to have many streaming services to pay for, or have juggle them based on what's coming up. You may end up keeping Netflix for a couple shows, then Amazon Prime for a couple others, then need Disney's new service for a few others. Then someone's going to come along and sell monthly subscription packages that bundle a bunch of the services together for you, maybe they will be brought to your home through some cable or satellite dish.......

Caught up on Season 2 of Krypton (SyFy).  Worth checking out.  Season 1 is a little low budget

 

Also watched Episode 1 of Chernobyl.  There sure are alot of Ruskies with British accents ?

 

[Foxx]

unless i missed it, i have seen no one mention Netflix's, 'Dark'. just finished season 2 last night and i hope they do a season 3. not wanting to give the plot away, i will just say it is about time and has all kinds of paradoxes.  i am usually pretty good at seeing plot twists coming and such but never really got that with this one. you have to pay attention and binge watching might be the best way to keep it all in order.

 

curious what anyone else who may have watched it thinks.

The actors definitely didn’t put a lot of work in to Russianize themselves. 

 

That was good but the changes to reality were bewildering to me. Totally unnecessary. It is a good(bad) story without Hollywood nonsense. 

[Logic]

Has anyone talked about Dark on Netflix yet? 

There have been two seasons so far, and both were phenomenal.

It is imperative that you watch it in German with English subtitles, rather than with the dubbed English audio, which sounds silly.

If you don't mind dense subject matter, it's a great watch. Can't wait to see where season 3 goes.

i love this show also. very very good acting and tremendous plot. from what i've read, there will be a season 3.

I am a huge PBS/ American Experience guy. Chasing the Moon is a 3 parter that is airing now on the space program..cool as hell!

 

Also, Amazon Prime now also has the Chinese Exclusion Act..new this month to Amazon. Excellent as well, but long at almost 3 hours..relevant in today's climate I think

Don't know if anyone has mentioned it, but Amazon has a series called the Good Omen that came out awhile ago. Just one season, but was pretty funny.

We are actually about to start season 1 of Dark tonight. Wifey and I thought it looked interesting and have been meaning to watch it but never got around to it. So hopefully I can get in at least a couple episodes in tonight.

I haven't gave it chance yet. It looked as if it would be stupid and not down my comedy ally anyways, but willing to give it 10-15mins to see.

i hope you like it. 

 

i can tell you, at first, i was like, 'whattttt'?? do i want to invest this much effort into keeping track of what is what here?

i love thought provoking stuff so it was a no brainer for me.

 

looking forward to season 3 (thank you @wnysteel) already as the end of season 2 presented a very interesting twist to the plot line.

I'm a big Gaiman fan but didn't love this book--the series was light and amusing: My daughter and I watched it together and had fun with it. Tenet is excellent.

I honestly didn't know it was based off a book. It was just advertised all the time on my smart TV so I flipped it on. It was an easy watch.

New season of Snowfall is bringing the heat. 

 

 

[plenzmd1]

Asked the firestick for movies about Buffalo NY..so show about gangsters came up called Pure. I watched the first 10 minutes, not so good..seems to have been made on a budget..but it does look like its shot in Buffalo. Anyobe watched more of this than I?

 

The asked for the history of Buffalo NY...and for some reason the Deads concert in Rich in 89 is a movie..who knew? Trucking Up to Buffalo! Obviously I am not a Dead Head!

 

I bet @The Poojer was at the concert!

Who has been watching "Euphoria" on HBO?

 

I didn't really fall in love after episode 1, but since, I have become addicted to this show.

 

It is unrealistically way over the top in terms of how it portrays sexuality in young kids, but I guess that is the point.

 

Really enjoying it so far.

I watched the first two episodes and really liked it.  Got put on the back burner when Stranger Things came out.  I have to pick it back up.  Thanks for the reminder!

I highly recommend "The Boys" on Amazon. It's funny and very good.You will get a kick out of it. I'm on ep 7 with 1 more to go. So good I almost completed watching the whole season yesterday. Would have if the Bills game didn't come on of course.

I just found recently that Judd Apatow and Leslie Mann's daughter is on the show. She was in a bunch of his movies when she was really young and I think she was the one in the recent commercials with her mom for some skin cream

Finished watching it a few days ago, it was pretty good,didn't realise it's based of an actual comic that's much more graphic (sexually and violence). The last episode has a bit of a surprise ending cliff hanger.....

Yeah, definitely looking forward to the next season of it. I enjoyed it myself.

Yessir! Just started Season 2 last night. Psychology, and criminal psychology in particular is something that's always been fascinating to me. A part of me wishes I had tried to get into that line of work. Probably more interesting than what I do now but my field definitely has its perks.

we got through the first episode and halfway through the second.  i was just too tired to go on!  i love anything psychology as well.  as sexy as working for the fbi may seem, i have a feeling it's an administrative hell.  you better be ready to play the game, or you're going no where fast.

Me too.   Watched the first episode looking forward to the next one tonight.  Probably should have watched the end of season 1 though, took me a while to remember how everything ended.

I imagine that's the case, but I don't think that's all that different from what I do now/used to do with my previous job haha. The real tough part for me to reconcile is that it would probably be less money for far more hours and less control over my personal life. I do think it would be more interesting though and maybe that would outweigh everything else.

 

Anyways, don't want to derail the Netflix thread over this haha.

Episode 2 was really good.
