Special K Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 On 5/4/2021 at 12:12 AM, Special K said: I've had the Starz streaming app for the past few months, and there are a number of good series on it. Some of my favorites are: "The Missing": A detective searching for abducted children. Season 1 was inspired by the Madeline McCann abduction case, but I think season 2 was the better of the two seasons. "Boss": Kelsey Grammer plays the mentally deteriorating Mayor of Chicago trying to keep his grip on power, and his sanity! "Luther": Idris Elba as a rule-bending London detective....I'm only through Season 2 of this, but its one of the better cop dramas I have seen in a while(its 10 years old, so I assume many people have already seen this one!). On Netflix, I just wrapped up a show called "Imposters" which I thought was really good. Apparently, this show was originally on Bravo.....I thought that channel only made Real Housewives and crap like that...I bet this show would have gotten more praise or attention if it was on a regular channel, definitely worth a try. Its about a group of scammers who marry people, steal everything their mark has, then disappear without a trace. The show revolves around three "marks" who band together to find the woman who scammed them(of course they are all still into her). The lead actress who is the scammer is a real beauty....never seen her in anything else before, but man she was a perfect pick for the part! Finally finished up Luther last night....I really enjoyed it. Ruth Wilson as "Alice" was just a great performance. Although the final episode was a little shaky, it didn't take away from the fact that it was an overall great series that I am glad I finally got around to watching. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Poojer Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 If anyone hasn't suggested it yet, Loudermilk on Prime is really good. One of the Farrelly Brothers is the creator, it's about a guy, Ron Livingston, who is an alcoholic/addict group leader.....it's a very enjoyable show so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best was Mare busting out laughing after he made his announcement. I really enjoyed this show, but I didn’t really like the story line over the last couple episodes. I think there were one or two too many twists/turns at the end. Still a very good watch though. My wife seems to think there’s only going to be this one season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d much prefer the option to binge watch the episodes over a couple of days then waiting for one to trickle out each week. Seems very archaic. But, who am I to argue with Disney’s marketing, they seem to know what they’re doing in just about every arena. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 I am not a huge Star Wars fan, but watched all the movies with my kids in the past few months on Disney+, and sort of got into it a little. we started on mandelorian (about 5 episodes in). It seems okay, but I have been sort of confused by it— seems like a bunch of disjointed events of mando carrying baby yoda around. I was expecting a more coherent and compelling story line. But maybe it gets better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DD4Bills Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 So I finally got some time last night and watched Tenet on HBO Max. Now, I consider myself a reasonably intelligent guy...but WTF did I just watch? Cool "set piece" action scenes, but seriously if you put a gun to my head and asked me what that movie was about, well I've had a good life. Nolan was being too clever for his own good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was "OK" to me. Did have an interesting story line and all with time travel and future war etc. Just thought some scenes were poorly done and a few of the actors wasn't that good (Not Pratt really), just overall some scenes and actors could have been better. So was just "meh"to me. Was worth watching I guess, the story, or "plot" I guess you could say, is what made it interesting enough to me. Anyway, my 2 cents.

Loki is awesome... although right now I'm wondering what's happened from the last huge cliffhanger episode and I've gotta wait to find out! I watched the 1st episode of The Wire because I've heard so much about it. Honestly... wasn't inspired to keep watching. And I do like crime stuff as I liked Bosch and LOVED Justified.

Jauronimo Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 For All Mankind on AppleTV has been a good watch. It begins with the 1950s-1960s space race and continues on in time but reimagined with a background of semi-historical events and fictional twists. I'm no space expert so it all seems plausible to me. There is no real continuous story through episodes or seasons, more just a bunch of stuff that happens, but I still get sucked in a for a few episodes at a time. 36 minutes ago, transplantbillsfan said: Paramount plus is premium.

I like it and I would posit that it is better for the brand. I completely understand wanting to see the whole thing in one go, in the case of Loki you could always just tune in 6 weeks after the show premieres and watch the whole thing. Now my argument for weekly releases versus the netflix all in on dump Why it's better for the show: Good shows build up buzz. The time between episodes is filled with youtube easter egg and theory videos, articles written about the show and general discussion between friends, who can discuss the show on equal footing because they are all at the same point in the series. Shows like Mandalorian and Loki create a buzz that can last for several months. Witcher was a decent show, but the buzz with that show lasted about a week and then everyone forgot about it. Why it's fun for us: Level playing-field - everyone can only have watched up to the same point, you can't do that with dump shows. Has anyone mentioned Patriot on Amazon Prime? I love that show. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
