The first season and a bit into the second is very, very close to the first book. The story in the second and third book gets stepped on a bit in S2 and S3 but it's still pretty faithful, except
GD Bobbie Draper is completely miscast and keeps getting a bigger and bigger role in the series despite not being in the third book at all

Trollhunters. For kids but worth watching. The final episode is amazing.
just started 3Below the second part of the Tales of Arcadia trilogy. Lots of characters from Trollhunter, but worth it for Nick Offerman.

Aware that it's on Hulu and not Netflix, but PEN15 sure is good.

Almost done with S3.

my boy watches these. I think we skipped from Part 1 of Trollhunters to 3 Below and missed some of Trollhunters season 2 or whatever. Offerman is clearly having a blast doing this voiceover work.Trollhunters. For kids but worth watching. The final episode is amazing.

Decided to give "Always Be My Maybe" a go the other night. As rom-coms go, it's a solid C. Ali Wong and Randall Park are just okay without much in the way of real romantic chemistry. They seem more like really good friends than a romantic couple. I'm not sure if it's a product of the limitations of the script or the actors.
Finishing S1 of "Peaky Blinders" and it's fun.

peaky blinders is definitely fun. great cast, great immersion into the period on all fronts, especially art direction... and wait until you get tom hardy chewing up the scenery

is anybody watching HBO's years and years?
sci-fi political satire kinda sorta. a bit of black mirror with a bit of family drama ala this is us with lots of just a touch in the future taking current global socio-politics to extremes.
it's interesting, depressing, worthwhile, frustrating all at the same time.

I've been watching that and Handmaid's Tale the last few weeks. It's a bit too much dystopia together for me tbh.
But I'd recommend giving it two episodes- it's worthwhile, imo and you'll know after those two if you want to keep going.

Through 25 (of 37) episodes of Death Note and completely enamoured. Love the aesthetic, story, music...everything. cannot wait to see how it ends.

Finished the first season of Dead To Me. Both actresses (Applegate & Cardellini) are very good and the show really rests on their chemistry. Looking forward to Season 2 as where they finished left for some interesting dynamics moving forward.

We watched season 1, will probably catch up on 2 soon.
I will say that I gained a tremendous respect for Nicole Kidman's acting. I somehow have never really seen her in anything but she is extremely good in the role they cast her in. I had always thought of her as more of a celebrity than a great actress--kinda like Angelina Jolie I guess where there isn't really a signature role. Probably unfair of me.
El Floppo

Kidman's a very good actress, going back to that stuck on a boat movie. I do find her botox work insanely distracting as she ages (not gracefully, for me)- physicially limiting the range of expression she's capable of... but her acting is always good. plus she seems to not get hung up on only taking tom cruise style big roles/movies... done a lot of work, including indies. IIRC she was in a gus van sandt movie and was fantastic. or my brain is playing tricks on me. definitely in that lars von trier thing that happened after lars had jumped the shark (for me).

You hit the nail on the head. I was hoping for the same thing but since I know nothing about the Czars I think i learned a lot. I haven't finished the series though and kind of enjoy the expert narration.
identikit
Footballguy
She is very very good.
Dogville = Von Trier movie
To Die For = Van Sant movie
Dead Calm = boat movie <<<<<<<< forgot to add that one
Agree on the facework...oy
Her earlobes look domino-sized.

Amazing Hotels - Just found this show last night. BBC show. Watched the first episode last night and the second right now. If you enjoy travel - you will definitely like this show. I want to go to these places so bad.

Do we talk about The Boys in here or in the Amazon Prime thread? Ive no idea anymore. Watched the pilot tonight and can say I’m all in.

I just finished S1. It was good fun, moving along for me until the last two episodes maybe. They were terrible! The writing was just piss-poor. I'm have a high opinion of Cillian Murphy as an actor but he cannot elevate that kind of tripe.

I watched EP1 and I am on the fence. I don't think I will last much longer if all it will be is supers doing bad/violent/raunchy things. I do like the idea of the corporate backing and charging for a super to protect a city though.

I watched The Tick, which sounds a bit similar and kind of ran out of steam with the concept.

Basically 100s of superheroes protecting us, a main core of 7 that are knock off Marvel/DC characters, but most are huge dooshes and are essentially running amok under our noses. Seems to be most are pervs, murderers, con artists, and/or rapists.

Lots of talk about Travelers, Fringe, etc. in here over the years.
We're on episode 3.2 of 12 Monkeys (Hulu) and it's the best sci-fi series like this in existence imo aside from The Expanse, which is nearly a different genre. Time travel fiction has never been done better on TV imo.
And I hear that it has one of the best endings in recent TV history after a pre-planned, tight four seasons too. I believe it, given how well it's been written so far and how each of the twists has linked back perfectly with things going all the way back to the pilot.
Highly recommend. Apologies if this has already been talked about at length in here. But for the people just now catching up on The Expanse, I feel like it's useful to know that the same channel had another equally good show airing at the same time, it turns out. Damn, SyFy.

CM brings up a good point - should we just have a merged streaming thread?

Footballguy
Thanks - I will add this to my queue. The movie is one of my faves, but I just never gave it a shot - mostly because I thought it would be a bad knock off and it seemed like the few things I tried on SyFy was cheesy as hell so I wrote off the channel. The Expanse changed my mind a bit on the channel, so I will give this a go.

I gave The Boys 3 episodes and I am tapping out.

People on the internet are scary sometimes. I looked at a couple of 1 star reviews for The Boys, and ….
No.
Sorry.
Any show that has full frontal male nudity but only topless "nudity" for females deserves to have every participant lined up against a wall and shot. Disgusting.
Not a single weak woman in the whole series! they are all badasses, really? Starlight is the definition of boring everything about her makes me wanna vomit it. Not recommended
The show is entertaining, but episode 5 was too much. From beginning to end it was constant anti christian messaging. Funny how all three of the show creators are Jewish.
Ever since I was doing the movie polls I sometimes look at the 1-2 star reviews for a laugh, but WTF is wrong with these people?

Is it so hard to say "Don't like it; doesn't fit my world-view"? Instead, we get "disgusting" because it has full-frontal male nudity but "only" topless females, and "makes me wanna vomit" because it has badass women, and anti-Semetic garbage.
I honestly weep for our society.

yeah, went into this one with low expectations, but the wife and kids are out of town and this looked good for some T&A fun.
First: it is French dubbed into English and weirdly done.
Second: zero nudity. For a movie that has previews that show so much sexuality--nothing. Teasing eye candy abounds, but it is like one big blue ball festival I must say.
Third: it is like slapstick comedy in parts. Is it a comedy movie? It is a horror movie? The humor is so juvenile, yet the content adult. Weird, and I must warn there is animal abuse.
The good is there are some gruesome kills and buckets of blood
Ughh...only if you are bored/drunk (I was both) watch this movie.
