Johnny Hammersticks Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Started watching The Rain on Netflix tonight. The first episode kind of pissed me off, but I’m interested to see where it goes from here. Anyone else watching this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plot twists are great, but I won’t give any spoilers.....watch and enjoy! Wife & I liked Tabula Rasa. Good story & surprise ending. Subtitles are not always necessary as you can tell what is transpiring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full of surprises, well-written, great characters and acting. Wife & I started watching this and Tabula Rasa (which you mentioned in a post in March) about the same time. At first, we liked KE more but in the end preferred TR. We thought KE jumped the shark at the end. There will be a second season for KE and I hope they can preserve the edginess in the storyline.

That was an addictive two seasons. They made some odd choices here and there, but still, very entertaining. Loved both seasons. Sean Astin in season 2 was a great addition.

transplantbillsfan Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 (edited) Shooter is an interesting series. I'm 9 episodes in and I like the development so far. Season 1 of Taken was watchable enough. I really liked Season 1 of Lost in Space. The show Travelers was just okay. Sherlock is very good, even though you might need subtitles just to keep up with what the hell they're saying. I'm a big believer that a show has to grab me for more than one, sometimes even more than 2 seasons in order to be any good. I don't think there are a lot of those out there. Also, to some degree, the shows need to get to the point. And I don't want to read subtitles or deal with the dubbed English voices that don't match the mouths moving. My wife and I friggin loved Fringe... at least the first 3 seasons or so, but by then we were invested. We also watched Criminal Minds until the main guy punched someone and got booted off the show. Better Call Saul is fantastic. Obviously watch Breaking Bad first, which is pretty incredible. Loved Stranger Things, both seasons. Loved Daredevil. Loved The Punisher. Watch it after you watch season 2 of Daredevil. Westworld is good, but 4 episodes into season 2 it's going in some weird directions, but I still dig it. Penny Dreadful is pretty good, and I like that it completes a story arc with it's 3 seasons, and it seemed intentional. Supernatural is, I admit, a totally guilty pleasure, but damn is it fun. And so many seasons out there to kill time. Edited June 30, 2018 by transplantbillsfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am finishing up season 2 now and have to say it is as unique as it was remarkably well done. Truly a must watch. Season 1 was very good, but it felt like it was just getting its sea legs under it. Actors getting used to their roles. Season 2 I cannot stop watching. Watch in Hebrew with English subtitles, the English voice over dont do it justice.

Deranged Rhino Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Really on the fence here... first, have some personal reservations about the creative team (I can put those aside, they're mostly petty). Second, while I enjoy JK and think he's talented, he's not Jack Ryan. Third... Michael Bay + Tom Clancy? Not a combination I would expect to fit together.

Richmond_Bills Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 The wife and I just watched "The Staircase" on Netflix. Documentary about a guy accused of killing his wife in a staircase. 13 episodes. Probably could have been 10. The first 8-9 were great. Dragged on a little at end, but definitely worth the watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That's No Moon Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Big Mouth on Netflix. Nick Kroll, John Mulaney, Maya Rudolph, Fred Armisen, Jordan Peele amongst others. The trailer doesn't do it justice. If you remember the sheer awkwardness of middle school or have kids near that age this is great for you. The Hormone Monster and Monstress are the best.

One of the most entertaining and riveting documentaries I have ever seen. It was like it could not have been better. The "Paradise Lost" trilogy of documentaries about the "West Memphis Three" is incredible. Particularly the first one is among the most riveting things I've ever seen. If you haven't seen these yet but enjoy documentaries, order it up ASAP! Just fantastic viewing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every seasons he tries to build up Pied Piper and then someone is trying to beat him to ot basically. Still pretty funny though. Loved the Asian guy who wouldn't leave the house, he is best in season 5 (the latest season without TJ Miller) Just finishing up Luke Cage season 2, not bad. The just announced Iron Fist season 2 premiering beginning of September. Apparently they have worked on the problems they had with season 1 and it should be better Better Call Saul season 4 starts in 2 weeks finally.

I’m just finishing season 4, and while it’s still funny I feel like the series has gone on too long. I also really like the Asian character. His prank calls to Eurlich were hilarious, and also the episode where he volunteered to pay for his trip to Tibet and dropped him off at the airport. Really funny stuff. I recently say him (Jimmy O. Yang) on an episode of Drunk History and he was pretty good. Almost seemed like he had a NYC accent which was weird to hear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
