Augie Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 I’ve read a lot of the Bosch books. Loving the series we started a few days ago, but I might miss a good Thursday night game as my wife got hooked on it with me. I said “one episode only” before we started, which is similar to “I’ll go to the game when she falls asleep”, I’m guessing. I highly recommend Bosch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Poojer Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Bill Burr's 4 season animated series "F is for Family". Pretty damned funny. Season 5 comes out next year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nextmanup Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 I have now finished "The Queen's Gambit" on Netflix and relished it slowly, only allowing one episode per viewing. It's only 7 one-hour episodes and it goes by quickly. One of the most enjoyable shows I've seen in several years. If you have Netflix, sit down and start watching! You won't regret it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved that it was 7 episodes. These Netflix shows all seem to go on well past their shelf life. This was just so perfect in length. As another poster said above, I am thinking about picking up the book and reading it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special K Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Is anyone watching Big Sky, Tuesday at 10 on ABC. Two episodes in, and it’s pretty good so far, it’s got a good cast, including the actress who played Lagertha on Vikings. It’s got a bit of a Twin Peaks feel to it.

How dare he. It's worse when the creater willfully leaves fans hanging and it's not a typical production issue.

Blokestradamus Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 I watched My Octopus Teacher on Netflix last night. It's a beautiful documentary about a man and his relationship with an octopus. It's so much better than it sounds. Gets quite moving at points.

All I can do is add to the enthusiastic response already referenced in this thread. It's a seriously well done show and I am enjoying it greatly! I finished it last night, which made me sad! It was the second time thru the whole series for my wife and she still enjoyed it immensely. Glad to read that Bosch has one more season coming out in the spring. Looking thru here for suggestions on what to do next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael1962 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 On Amazon prime my favorites are Bosh, Goliath, and by far The Boys is amazing! It takes a leap of faith/supposition to get into the Boys as they create a world with Superheroes that are all different in name but if you can get by that you will not be disappointed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That's No Moon Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Tried to watch Wonder Woman 84 tonight and I made it about 35 minutes in. One of the single worst movies I've ever tried to watch. Plot is ridiculous, dialogue is awful, and it's cheesy. If this got a full theatre release instead of being buried on Hbo max it would be getting slaughtered IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhg Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Binge watched Chernobyl on HBO Max last weekend. It's a mini-series, so only 5 episodes. It was outstanding. We started watching Perry Mason last night. Only 2 episodes in, but looks like it has potential. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Hammersticks Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Finished Queens Gambit last night. As others have said, very enjoyable show. IMO, there was a “lull” during a couple episodes toward the end, but the beginning and ending of the series was quite interesting. I had this suspicion down the stretch that something bad was going to happen to her in Russia at the end. I won’t share whether I was right or wrong because I don’t want to spoil for others.

Nextmanup Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 I just abandoned "DARK" on Netflix after 7 episodes. I had heard that it had a slow start and you needed to give it time. Seems to be pretty popular. I gave it too much time! Just a very derivative, not-super-well-done show. Couldn't find a character I liked to save my life. Kind of a dreary vibe, very slow moving, it's like 2 out of 5 star fare for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also jumped ship around the same time in the series for similar reasons. It was like Dark Mirror’s ugly sister. Not very well done.

4merper4mer Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 2+ episodes into an Aussie show called Secret City. It stars Anna Torv from Mindhunter. It’s really good so far. A lot of intrigue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it does go that way it will still be a good story/show but with a major plot deficiency. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could be bad news, considering the director is also doing a Star Wars movie and I really hate when they ruin Star Wars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsPride12 Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 It took me forever to get around to it but I finally just watched that Class Action Park documentary and it was a pretty fun watch.

ChevyVanMiller Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Derry Girls on Netflix is a terrific show with great writing. It took the wife and I an episode or two to get the flow of the Irish accents, but we then tore through the two seasons in a few days of binging. Sadly, season 3 is delayed due to Covid. Also, we're in the second season of The Good Place. I know some of you recommended it earlier in this thread, I'm sorry that it took me so long to get around to it. It is fantastic. Ted Danson and Kristin Bell are both stellar. Another show with very clever writing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Hammersticks Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Anyone else watching S9 of Letterkenny on Hulu? I’m so bummed.

{::'KayCeeS::} Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 I highly recommend "Ted Lasso" on Apple+. If you have apple, do yourself a favor and just go for it. You won't regret it, imo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
