Eddie Murphy and Wesley Snipes in particular are just awesome. Just a really well-made fun movie. I totally get why it's getting some award buzz. One of my 2019 favorites. It could have been low-brow schlock but they created complex characters while making it entertaining and hilarious without using forced melodrama to propel the story. IMO, Eddie Murphy deserved the Gold Globe Award. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me in some ways of The Leftovers, which is the best show I've ever seen in the "people dealing with the unexplained" category. Someone above mentioned Bloodline. That was a good show. Dark, but good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't love how they handled the old girlfriend but I thought S2 was better. I thought the general gist of the ending was very predictable and knew it about mid season. I didn't know every specific detail of how it would play out but I was certain of the main component. I also disagree on the too much Ellie. I thought that made sense and was fine. If they were setting up S3 at the end, it was weak and they should let it end anyway because the ending made sense. On 1/7/2020 at 9:17 PM, ricojes said: Setting up S3 for sure...possible spoiler, so... Hide contents The new "You" is his mother? Just a guess, but they mention her a lot and never say what happened to her. Just finished S2 last night. I didn't have it quite figured out (was actually headed in the right direction, but not really close with the details). That's one reason I really liked S2. Totally agree with 4mer re: Ellie. I like the character and I think the kid is a good little actor, too. With the first girlfriend and the 2nd girlfriend (not naming names because I don't know how to do the spoiler thing) coming back to "haunt" him, we can expect more of that from others. And the mom really intrigues me. I have my guesses, but I'll hold onto them until S3 comes out. All in all ... I really like this show.

transplantbillsfan Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 (edited) 3 episodes into The Witcher... pretty weird but watchable. It's like one of those addictive B movies: bad acting and awkward storytelling, but plenty of action and intrigue to keep you watching and it makes just enough sense. Loving The Outsider on HBO. Only 2 episodes up so far. It's one of Stephen King's latest books and I liked the book a lot. Show is pretty true to the book so far and has a good cast. I'm enjoying but not in love with Peaky Blinders. Only about 5 episodes in, though. Loved Jack Ryan. Just looking for the next show to watch. I'll tell ya, nothing has really topped our experience watching the first 3 seasons of Fringe. It was probably 4 years ago now my wife and I dove into that and we've been looking for the next great experience since. We feel similarly the same way about Better Call Saul and did about Breaking Bad. Edited January 19, 2020 by transplantbillsfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see it turning crappy but so far it is intriguing. It sort of turned crappy. It had the widest gap I've ever seen in a show between some very interesting premises and the lame way they were delivered. There was some good stuff in the show but it was about a 6. A few changes could have made it much better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevyVanMiller Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) Recently watched a movie on Netflix from 2013 that I had completely missed when it came out called About Time. It is from the creator of Love Actually and has a bit of the same vibe. It’s stars Rachel McAdams and a very young Margot Robbie. The premise is: a young man turns 21 and his father, played by the great Bill Nighy, lets him in on a little secret, namely that the men in his family can all time travel back to different parts along their own lifeline. Most of the movie follows the typical romcom formula, but there is a pretty neat twist at the end that might cause you to get the sensation that you’re chopping some onions. I highly recommend it, it was a terrific movie. Edited January 21, 2020 by ChevyVanMiller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apuszczalowski Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Im almost through season 2 of Titans (next I'm going to watch Doom patrol) I completely forgot they filmed it in Toronto until there was mention of the FX guy that died while filiming Then during season 7 when Robin is on the roof with the new Robin, you can see the lower section of the CN tower (while they are supposed to be in San Francisco) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PastaJoe Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Finished season 2 of Lost in Space on Netflix. I think it was more suspenseful than season 1, with many situations where it seems like someone isn’t going to survive. Parker Posey is a psychotic Dr Smith, much darker than the tv version. Hopefully they’ll be another season as it ended with cliffhangers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apuszczalowski Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 (edited) Just finished season 2 of Titans on Netflix. I thought it wasnt bad but find that the show seems way to busy, spending alot of time adding and getting rid of characters and going on a bunch of tangent storylines. They build up the villans who end up getting beat rather easily in the end that it seems like a let down after they spend time building them up. They spend way too much time bringing in new characters to add to the group. I just started the latest and last season of The Ranch last night, got a few episodes in. I also plan on starting Doom Patrol too (after I finish that one I hope to get the full season of Swamp thing which had some good reviews but was quickly canceled) I'm only hanging on to Amazon Prime for The Grand Tour which is now only a couple longer specials a year. It seemed there were alot of mixed reactions to 'Seamen' the first special. I liked it but many didn't because they wanted it to be about cars, not a boat trip. I am also holding on to it because I'm hoping soon that here in Canada we will start getting the automotive show Gearz hosted by Stacey David. I had a response from him through Facebook that they are trying to get it on in Canada soon, right now it's only available on Prime in the US (or a few other pay services like Motortrend). A few weeks ago I finished watching James May's 'Our Man in Japan' and I enjoyed that too. He spent a few months on his own traveling across Japan and it's a good mix of some humor along with learning about the culture and the country. I don't know how well Clarkson's Farm Show is going to be but I will probably watch when it's released. I'm looking forward to Richard Hammonds show he is going to film with Torey Beallci from Mythbusters where they will be deserted on a desert island. I wish I had Discovery so I could see Toreys recent show called 'The Explosion Show' because what could be better?

The email states that "You can still watch FOX channels through these services: FuboTV, Hulu + Live TV, SlingTV, YouTube TV and other live TV services," and goes on to add that "If you have a Roku TV, you may be able to receive FOX over the air with an antenna."

KRC Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 If you are into the history of exploration, there is "Trajectory - Milestones in Space Exploration" on Prime. Short stories of major items in space history. For a space geek like me, it is a mixed bag. It is great that you can get the stories of these moments in history. However, each one is only about 5-8 minutes in length, so they do not go into too much detail. Good for people with ADD, but not good if you are looking for deep dives. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know 1 and 3 above are for sure on Netflix, and I think Chicken People is too. If not, you can find it I think on one of the other streamers if its not on Netflix anymore.
