Watching the Firefly series on Hulu. On ep 6 right now. It was a little slow but has been getting better with each episode.

I like how they mix spaceships with western/older era stuff.

Firefly was one of the best shows made. It is so sad the network kept moving its time slot and making it hard to watch. Make sure you watch the movie after you finish the series.

I searched for this show here and was surprised not to see any reaction to it.

3-part whodunit documentary that is crazy! You will not believe the twists and turns in this story. It is not really about cats. It's about a worldwide manhunt started by internet geeks.

Netflix: Don't F*** With Cats

Agreed. Every ten minutes or so was an escalation from the previous WTF moment.

That show was kind of a bait and switch since I was familiar with the main part of the story but not the beginning, so by the time I got to that part, it was somewhat of a letdown.

Another one I really liked that has a similar misdirection to the story that I watched a couple of years ago was The Keepers - it starts like a typical murder mystery and then takes a left turn into a Catholic Church cover-up.

The one with the Mormon kidnapping was fucking nuts. I can't think of the title.

Also Killer Ratings. That one was almost like reading about life on another planet. I can't imagine so many people living in such abject poverty and crime being that routine. That's a story that barely made a ripple in the US that I can recall, but it's unbelievable.

Murder Among the Mormons was kind of like that for me - but that story might be better known in the US, I was not familiar with any piece of what was revealed.

I still like Formula One: Drive to Survive...I want to show my 9 year old, but that Daniel Riccardo swears like a sailor (god bless Australians).

Finished watching the Firefly series on Hulu. I have watched the movie Serenity which was good as a stand alone but makes more sense now.

The second to last episode with the western theme/hookers wasn't that great. The last episode with the bounty hunter was pretty good but why bring "threat of rape" into the story line.

Overall, a fun series. I would not have minded a second season. Glad they made the movie. Would support a reboot.

Speaking of reboots, Amazon is bringing Kids in the Hall back. It was supposed to happen last year, but...you know. But I saw a tweet over the weekend from Dave Foley about being in the airport flying to Toronto to start filming.

On the one hand, another season would have been awesome.

On the other hand, so many series end and you end up feeling like they should have ended a couple of seasons earlier.

It is kind of nice to have a show that left everyone wanting more. Especially b/c they got the movie to tie up the major loose ends.

I think that is also the case with Freaks and Geeks. I don't think a 5 season run would have been the darling the 1 season ended up being.

that's awesome. every few years these guys come back and they always knock it out of the park with something new and hilarious

Good example. I think that it's hard for a series to feel like it had the exact right number of seasons.

Bojack Horseman ended at the right time, I think.
Breaking Bad was another one. Didn't go on too long, but at the end, I felt like it was complete. I didn't want/need another season.

Most, however, are either too long or too short.

Kids in the Hall? AWESOME

New Ted Lasso July 23rd

I've been binging documentaries that have been on my list for a long time.

Finally finished watching Wild Wild Country, season 2 of Making a Murderer, and then the new one Murder Among the Mormons.

No need to recommend the others, you should have already seen them, but the last one was really interesting. Enjoyed it very much.

Watch as many of the "Classic Albums" series from Eagle Rock as you can find. They are amazing

Also "The Inside Story" series from Biography channel about specific films

We just finished the DuckTales reboot and I'm very disappointed it's done after only 65 episodes. The 3-part finale had a brilliant Gargoyles Easter Egg that encapsulated everything that show was about. It made sense within the context of the show while also completing the set of referencing every Disney Afternoon show. The show was uneven at times (the second season moon plot dragged) but it was a giant love letter to my childhood and I'm sad to see it go.

They're rebooting Darkwing Duck on Disney+ within the year, but I'm just not nearly as interested in it as DuckTales.



SI

Re-watched Star Trek Generations with Picard and Kirk. Awful plot with the nexus ribbon BS and Kirk dying an inglorious death.

Of the STNG movies

1) First Contact
2) Nemesis
3) Insurrection (distant third)
4) Generations (really bad)

Watched Rush last night. That was a good movie. What an incredible rivalry. Good race scenes. Did not realize it was a true story.

Pen15 is so weird and cringey, and I love it.

Finished Jupiter's Legacy s1. Pretty enjoyable, I like how it went between past and present. The explanation of the powers is somewhat unsatisfying but will see what happens in s2. Hope it's renewed.

There are several other series that I'm still waiting on. Delayed due to Covid I'm sure. The zombie fest The Kingdom. Ozark. Space Force. Mandalorian.

So good. I had a couple of spit takes during it.

We are watching Mad Men, really good show but I am about halfway through season one and I have lung cancer from the secondhand smoke.

You haven't watched it before? I'd say it's in my top 10 all time. Very good show.

We haven't but are really enjoying it so far

Mad Men is an excellent series, though I despise Peggy.

Mad Men was fantastic. I was meh when I started it. Just thought I would give it a go. Wow, my mind was changed quickly. I want to watch it again.

Binge watching Amazon's Bosch.

Just started s4, it is holding my interest.

Love Bosch - looking forward to the final season. I think the first episode hit US tv this week, we'll probably get it in a few months' time.

Now available on SBS On Demand (Australia).

Oh thanks for pointing this out, I had no idea!

Black summer, apparently no one knows you shoot them in the head.

Had to watch it because it was zombies. Not as good as s1 but decent.

My main ding is the jumping back and forth in time gave me a headache.

We are finishing S2 of Black Summer. I like it, a different take.

The first few shows of S2 were weird. And I cant figure out why no one knows to shoot them in the head either

What to Watch Instantly on Netflix? (and now all streaming services)
 

I’m tired of yelling that at them…

If you like FM or the idea of taking a club in England from a lower level to the Premier league, here are three shows I've seen and enjoyed:

Take us Home: Leeds United (2 seasons on Prime):
Take Us Home: Leeds United

When Eagles Dare: Crystal Palace (1 season on Prime):
When Eagles Dare: Crystal Palace FC

Sunderland 'Til I Die (2 seasons on Netflix):
Sunderland 'Til I Die | Netflix Official Site

If I were ranking them, I would go Leeds, Sunderland, Crystal Palace. The Palace one is cool in that they use footage from the 2013 season and then talk to the players in 2019-20 to add to it. The Sunderland one gives you the best feel of the fans, management and players all together. The Leeds one flows the best and is the most current.

I have seen the two seasons on Sunderland, and they were very good. Need to watch the other two. "Welcome to Wrexham" is coming soon to FX, and is about Ryan Reynolds and Rob McEllehenney's purchase of the club. That promises to be quite entertaining.

There's a Man City and Spurs version of that Prime show All for Nothing. Brazil national team, too.

I didn't know about the Crystal Palace one. I will check it out. Thanks for posting.

The Four Year Plan is still one of the better football documentaries. Some of the newer ones are a bit too.. how shall I say.. neutered and self-serving. That one really showed how pompous and clueless the Italians that took over QPR really were.

Not sure about its availability anymore, but I could certainly help point someone in the right direction via PM if it's not available to them.

Edit: Looks like it is available to rent via Amazon -- Sorry! Something went wrong!

Ballers is easily one of my favorite shows.

It is on HBOMax.

Just finished watching it again.

Dexter is back!

Dexter: New Blood Trailer: Michael C. Hall Returns as Your Favorite Serial Killer in November – /Film

I am so excited for this. Easily my all time favorite show.

They were filming the new Dexter season in and around my home town in Central Massachusetts a few months ago. My father used to come across them going on walks, he got in a long old-New-England-man-style conversations with the guy in charge of the snow making machines, and other crew members. As far as I know he never met Michael C. Hall, but, he would have no idea who that was. My father's the kind of guy that could just wander onto a set and nobody would say anything.

Signed up again for Disney+.

Watching Loki tonight, fun so far. I hope there is a good ending & explanation. I don't like how Infinity stones (and probably Tesseracts) are used as desk ornaments.

Loki was great. I generally don't like time travel but the addition of multi-dimensions was pretty cool. Don't like how it left us with a somewhat cliffhanger.

Falcon & Winter Soldier was solid. The speech at the end reminded me of a Steven Seagal "preachy" monologue. But other for that, it was entertaining.

Wanda Vision sucked. I stuck through ep1 but decided not for me.

I do like how Disney is coming out with these short seasons for MCU secondary characters. Need one a month while we wait for Mandalorian s3.

Wandavision was fantastic. I love the play on old TV shows through the decade and the slow reveal of what was going on and who the actual bad-guy was.

Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

Ohhh, there was more to it than just Here's Lucy episodes?

I will say the characters were so different from typical MCU that I was surprised at how well Wanda and Vision did them. So kudos to them, they can act especially Elizabeth Olsen.

Yeah, I'd say after you get through the first 2 episodes you'll start to see the main story unfold.

This is probably why Disney+ released two episodes on that first week. I'm guessing viewers would be confused in the beginning and not tune in the rest of the season (aka "The Edward64 Reaction")

Finally started Mindhunter and I should have watched it sooner. Plowed through the first season in 2 days and working my way though season 2. Really enjoying it.

Mindhunter is one of my Favs

Yeah, I dipped my toe into Wandavision not really knowing what to expect, and both my wife and I ended up really enjoying it.

We've also hopped on the Ted Lasso bandwagon. Really good show.

Great news, can't wait!

Almost ashamed to admit it, but my wife and I have been enjoying the Outer Banks on Netflix. Kind of a nice blend of Indiana Jones-is adventure with young adult drama.

I'm not as excited about it as I should be. Most shows produced by Amazon are mediocre at best, and I'm afraid they're going to try to go all 'Game of Thrones' on this.

I haven't watched too many Amazon originals, but both "The Boys" and "Invincible" are excellent and they've done a great job with "The Expanse" since picking it up and Fleabag and Catastrophe were both really good, so there's hope!

I do need to try to get back into the Expanse. I've made it through season one, like it, but for whatever reason didn't continue.

As for Amazon Originals, I'm through the 3rd season of Bosch and really enjoy that as well. The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is just outstanding too. I don't think one can credit them for Fleabag however, considering it was a BBC show I believe.

Watching Cocaine Cowboys: The Kings of Miami series on Netflix with my wife has giving her and myself a new perspective as to the effect growing up in Miami during that time has had on some of my world views.

I finally got around to watching "Black Summer." I just finished the first season. Only eight episodes.

I thought it was great. Some really, really intense scenes and just a straight up zombie show.

Just watched the Xmas episode of Ted Lasso. This show has done an amazing job of evolving from very funny to an amazingly well rounded show. Roy Kent is my favorite character on any show in a long time

No mention of Patriot on Amazon? One of the best shows in years.

I really enjoyed Patriot. Would've loved some resolution on that one.

First time I went to Miami was in the late 90's. I was expecting to see Ferraris and other exotics everywhere.

Miami Vice was a great for its time. The theme music still resonates (and also Magnum PI).

Some Witcher news. Didn't know about the animated show.

I suppose I'm alone on this, but I just have some sort of mental block when it comes to Netflix. Like, I have a few things in my list I want to watch, but I can never bring myself to watch them. It's like Netflix is a VHS tape or something.

I suppose it's a combination of things. One, I'm just so used to DirecTV and the DVR being where all of my stored shows are, so that's where I always go to look for things to watch. Two, I hate the way the Netflix app works where it just pulls up some random BS show and starts the preview without me actually choosing it, and it does the same thing for every damn show you scroll through and stop on. And three, I have a hard time finding what I want, even in my list, even things I've started to watch, they sometimes end up buried and I have to page through stuff to look for it. Even stuff I've started, I rarely go back to finish.

I'd prefer a scaled back version of the app that just has a list of shows I want to watch, no video, just a link to click to what I want to watch.

And yes, I just turned 50 yesterday, so queue up the old man jokes. My kids definitely get my money's worth (if it's possible) out of Netflix, but I don't use it as much as I should (in theory) and my wife's never even looked at it. I think the last time she did, we set up her account and that was about it.

I’m with you. When I am just searching for something random to watch Netflix is always the last place I go.

What brought it to mind is I get that weekly email about new shows I might be interested in, and I've probably put a dozen or so things on my list since the beginning of the year, and every time I get that email I remember there are a few things I want to watch, but I never do. My list keeps growing, and then I never actually watch anything. And the last few things I started didn't keep my interest through 4-6 episodes.

I like Netflix and it seems to have more international produced stuff. Some of them are pretty bad but many are okay and a few great (aka The Kingdom).

I hate how Prime used to mix up Free with Pay. They've recently changed the interface where I see all the "Free to Me" which I appreciate.

If you are ever in Japan you can watch some Netflix produced, old school skinomax style Japanese soft core. If, you know, that's your bag baby.

Yeah, but is everything pixelated?

No need when you don't get to see 'that' specifically, ala Cinemax (back in the day). A well placed angle is all you need. It's every bit as campy and done in that Japanese styled way though.

Eh, Skinemax would sometimes show full-frontal (I don't know HOW many movies had women prison shower scenes), which I thought even was a no-no in Japan?

I respect cultured men.

Good series. I watched that just before my first move.

Wandavision was good! Glad I kept watching.

Goddammit it, GrantDawg. Effing earworm going to be stuck there all day

SI

Starting to re-watch the Kingdom. The Korean zombie fest is great. Looking forward to s3. Supposedly late 2021 or early 2022 but really won't be surprised it is later.

9 perfect strangers has been interesting so far but they need to get cracking.

Watching Kingdom and seeing how the royal family was treated made me wonder what happened to the lineage.

Long story short, got dethroned by Japan in 1910. Current "crown prince" lives in Las Vegas, Nevada. Must suck to be him playing the "what if, if only etc." game.

The Bob Ross documentary sounds interesting.

I finished Season 2 of "Black Summer." The second season wasn't quite as tight as the first and a bit uneven, but, overall, I really enjoyed it. It's a great, brutal zombie show.

I know they are very different shows doing very different things, but it was odd to circle back to The Walking Dead (I just watched the first episode of the new season) after watching both seasons of Black Summer. Between the slow zombies and everyone always hitting every zombie in the head with every arrow, throwing knife, crossbow bolt or what have you, the zombies in The Walking Dead have long stopped being much of a threat in any serious way. They've sort of become largely eerie propose for scenes and set pieces more than anything else.

Almost every single zombie in Black Summer is terrifying and will ruin your day. Same goes with pretty much any human in that show.

Watch the documentary Count Me In. It is about the history of drumming in music. It is fantastic. The music is incredible, the stories as well.

Watched John Wick 1-2-3 past couple days.

1 is pretty good just because it was the first.

2 was also pretty good. I like the Rome scenes.

3 was not as good as 1 and 2 but still fun. There was at least 1 fight scene where John Wick did a back kick that was comical. The fight scenes seemed slower and could have been better choreographed (or sped up).

I also realized that John Wick was many time surprised when he ran out of bullets. I thought pros counted bullets as they shot.

If you liked the John Wick movies then check out Nobody. It's definitely inspired by the Wick films, but different enough to stand out and just as fun IMO.

I did watch it.

I think I called it the regular man's John Wick, not near as flashy but still some nice moves.

Dune is out Sep 3 on big screen and streaming.

They Lynch movie sucked big time. The TV series was pretty good I thought. I really hope this one blows it out of the water.

I read Heinlein and Herbert as a kid and they were my sci-fi favorites.

I'm about to watch these for the first time, too. We borrowed them from, of all places, our library (yes, I'm that dude that still borrows movies from the library). We're also going through all the Muppets movies but that's for before the 6yo goes to bed

SI

Why did you hate the Lynch version?

I loved the Lynch version.

I hope they dont make this Dune into 2 or 3 parts.

I thought it was at least 2

It's definitely more than one. I think it's 2 parts.
