Disenchantment

 

Netflix cartoon from Matt Groenig, creator of The Simpsons and Futurama.

 

Set in the medieval fantasy castle of Dreamland, featuring a rebellious alcoholic princess, an elf, and a demon.  Got a definite Futurama sense of humor

I watched the entire season of that one too and I enjoyed it, would rather watch it over new episodes of the Simpsons. That probably means it will be canceled and the Simpsons will see season 37.......

I honestly thought the first season of Cage was pretty lame once we hit the halfway point. I won't spoil anything about the show just in case someone around here is interested and still hasn't watched it, but you'll know what I'm talking about; something major happened at the halfway point and it all went downhill after that for me.

 

Jessica Jones season 2 was alright, but David Tennant was amazing and obviously he was very minimally involved in season 2. I still love Krysten Ritter and I liked the way they developed Malcolm in season 2.

 

I sadly think I preferred Iron Fist season 2 over Luke Cage season 2; the ending of Iron Fist actually had me kinda excited for Season 3. Hope it returns on the Disney service.

I have liked all the marvel shows on netflix (haven't watched any of the network ones though) but I did find with some of them they either seemed to drag or that the season was too long for the storyline, I would sometimes fell like some of the stories would feel like they are going backwards just tostretch out a season. Thats kind of hard to do when your seasons are around 10 episodes.

Man in the high Castle is back. I watched the first 25 minutes and fell asleep. It was late (930!)

 

I am going to go back to season 2 and rewatch a good chunk of that because I can't remember any of the revelance to this season yet.

go below this seasons episodes and there is a 30-minute recap of season 1&2..thats all you need.

 

Not on streaming service, but The Guest Book strated up again on TBS.

 

If you like Greg Garcia stuff( Earl, Hope), you will like this !

Daredevil season 3.

 

The best of the marvel serialized shows returns, and it does NOT disappoint.

 

 

I hope they keep up with the Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Defenders, Punisher stuff on Netflix.

 

I think those are the shows I've enjoyed watching most on there.

 

 

I heard Iron Fist is done in terms of its own individual series, but the character can be back in other series.  I don't get the hatred for Iron Fist.  I think it was tied for my 3rd favorite show among the 5 other individual storylines of (in order of my favorites) Daredevil, Punisher (I just really like the actor from when he was Shane in The Walking Dead), Luke Cage/Iron Fist, Jessica Jones.  

 

I'm gonne be curious to see what happens with these Netflix Marvel shows once Disney gets their own streaming service up.

I hope they can keep Daredevil around a bit longer.  I just wonder if something else may be in play with Disney since Netflix canceled both Iron Fist and Luke Cage in the last week or two.  I get the feeling that Jessica Jones might not be far behind since her second season was lackluster.  Cage's was too.  I just started the second season of Iron Fist, so I can't comment on that one.  Do they keep Daredevil and maybe Punisher around or does Disney make a play to get all of them on their own service somehow.  If anyone can find a way around a contract, it's Disney.

 

They cancelled Luke Cage?

 

Really?

 

That was a helluva cliffhanger season 2 ended on.

I thought they said that the marvel series on Netflix would not be moving over to the Disney streaming service?

 

Didnt know that they canceled Luke Cage and Iron Fist, I had heard they had no plans to continue with The Defenders and it was more of a one off season.

 

This is what I thought, too.  I thought Netflix retained rights to all the shows it already has, including the Marvel ones.

Its not that scary

 

Its a great story.  Really well done haunted house horror...  but the scariness is overhyped quite a bit.  

 

100x better than american horror story

 

Is it the weirdly twisted tone of American Horror Story?

 

I didn't like that show at all after giving it a brief shot.

Yeah, it's definitely done.  A popular thought out there is that they'll replace those two shows with one where they're teamed up.  I can't see that happening though with the Disney streaming service looming in the background.

I think that is a large part of it.  It is too far over-the-top fiction and non-believable with outrageous characters and such.  

 

I think it also degrades the show that they have the same troop of actors/actresses playing dress-up in different roles each season.  It takes away from the show, and also give the audience some hideous attempts at accents.

"You" on Netflix is great 

I saw that button, wondered what it was. 

 

Watched Valley on the Boom last night in Nat Geo. Very different way to sell a story. I thought it was great. I assume you can get in demand

It must have been mentioned in this thread somewhere, but Letterkenny on Hulu is friggin hilarious.  Seasons 1 & 2 on Hulu (I believe there are 5 or 6) with more to be released.

Its Canadian, seeing advertisements alot recently for a new season that just started, also a live show that played one of the arenas here a few months ago.

 

I tried watching it and just couldnt do it.

Finally just around to watching Season 1, Episode 1 of "Ozark" on Netflix.

 

I really enjoyed it and will be looking forward to watching more.

 

 

You won't be disappointed. Another great series.

It’s not for everyone I guess.  My sister hated it and only made it through half of one episode.  She thought it was dumb, but she also thinks most comedies are dumb.  My BIL loved it, and after he finished seasons 1 & 2, ordered the rest on DVD.

I’m sure it’s been mentioned already but Marvelous Mrs. Maisel! Wow. Loved it. My Dad said they nailed the era to a “T”. I think they even out did Mad Men in terms of contuinity. 

 

In episodes 3-5 of Seaaon 2 (Catskills), they filmed locally in Deposit, NY last summer. I remember when they had the casting call here in Binghamton for extras but had no clue what the show was, so I’m watching these episodes and totally recognized 3 people I legit know from over the years hah.

Punisher season two was released today... which means you can expect to see it canceled in a couple weeks. 

Surprised it wasnt announced already......

 

I am wondering if these series get picked up by someone else (if the Disney/marvel streaming service allows it).

 

Is Netflix going to start doing more DC shows to replace the Netflix ones? I want to check out Titans on Netflix

If anyone has Amazon Prime Video, "Forever' with Maya Rudolph and Fred Armisten is very enjoyable.  Only 8 episodes/1 season so far, but it's a cool premise that you can't reveal to people because it does kind of spoil it.  

i made it about 15 minutes into the first episode where they go the ski resort before turning it off.  does it get entertaining at some point?

Kind of right at that point.  Watch the first episode, it really does get better.  At least I thought it did

It’s not a “comedy” but I found it very amusing. It’s well thought out and different. Worth the time.

The wife and I just binged all 4 seasons of Schitt'$ Creek on Netflix. Truly awesome comedy created by and starring Eugene Levy.

Watched it too, it just started another season on CBC in Canada. It was a collaboration between Eugene and his son, who is also his son on the show. His actual daughter is also on the show, she is the girl who works the restaurant.

His son is great on the show. Oh and the actress that plays his daughter is so hot.

The wife and I started watching a show on Netflix called Friends from College.  The cast caught my eye (Keegan Michael Key, Fred Savage, Cobie Smulders), so I gave it a shot.  The first season was really good, but it has fallen off in the second season.  I kept asking myself the whole time I was watching how they would take this story beyond one season.  I guess I was right.

Watched the Fyre Festival doc on Netflix last night..it was pretty good. I understand there is also one out on Hulu that the promoter was paid to be on, but one is enough.

     Did you watch this because you just saw something about it on the news?   I never heard of this fesitval before, but I saw something about it and put it on my watchlist.

No, I watched last night as my wife was watching the Va  Tech/NC game, it was a blowout, and  i was bored to tears, so went upstairs and this was on one of the tabs first LOL. I am easily persuaded! I started watching this Sex Education thing too cause it was first int he list!!!!!

 

I remember the festival and the fiasco that it was, did not have a clue they made a documentary about it, let alone 2.

 

Having said that, I did see a piece on these today.. I am guessing on the CBS morning news

Dan Patrick talked about this show today on his show, and said it's incredible. I may have to check it out.

Hitting the wayback machine here.......I just found a Canadian show called "Corner Gas" on Prime. Easy watching, simple. I find it funny but I'm also simple......

There were alot of Canadian celebrity cameos in the show. I want to say they had something like 8 seasons of it, then a movie, and now it's back on a second season but as an animated show. Almost all of the main cast is back doing voices except for Emma, Brent's mom, cause she passed away a few years ago.

 

It's funny, his dad Leroy was a popular actor on an 80s Canadian lawyer show called where he was a serious actor. Also Brent and Wanda are married in real life.

 

Some of the actors went on after the show to star in others but they didnt last. Brent and Wanda went on to a show where she was a child story book writer with anger problems and he was her life coach. Hank went on to another show where he was a bartender in a small town who was elected mayor. Neither really last or where that great.

I just heard about it on the news today too, a caterer had a go fund me page set up to help her recover lost money from helping to feed everyone that showed up.

 

I dont remember anything about this though....
