Is there a second season of Blacklist? I watched everything on Netflix up to like episode 22. Is there a season in between what is going to come on after Super Bowl and what is available?

second season is currently airing on NBC. they're not likely to get S2 until S3 starts. you could try Hulu for this season's episodes.

 
anyone tried "Black Mirror? yet? Season 1 started streaming. Supposedly very much an updated Twilight Zone kind of thing.
It's pretty good. There's a thread on it from a while back. New season coming soon.
OMG... Don't do it! These are not only the most horrible stories ever written, but the production and acting are horrible! Okay, maybe I underestimated the term 'horrible', but I couldn't come up with anything better to describe these.

Twilight Zone? Really? Wow...

 
The Italy Trip.

I half watched it today while my wife and her mom were on the couch. Seemed cool enough. Two middle aged guys on an Italian trip, going to restaurants and bull ####ting about movies. Sounds like what I want to do in 20 years.

 
I know it was panned here but i liked Oculus. Pretty creepy and original.

Also thought Marco Polo was worth watching but acknowledge it's not great TV.

 
I'm pretty psyched that Psych season 8 is finally available on Jan 8.
brohan that was such a tricky sentence that you just blew my mind it was like when i watched inception i never knew where you were going and then there was a top take that to the bank bromigo and good on you for out riddling the old riddler bam

 
Not Netflix but Transparent on Amazon Prime is *really* good if anyone is interested.
There is an Amazon Prime watch thread
yeah, i know that but i felt like it was definitely worth mentioning here for those interested in really good programming. it should win a few awards if there is any justice. Tambor, especially, is just fantastic.
Prime original content?
Correct.
 
Been on a bit of a movie binge of late - trying the Doug Loves Movies 365 movies in 365 days challenge... which I'm sure I won't get anywhere near once life starts up again tomorrow, but a few days of binge watching never killed anyone.

In the meantime, since I'm going to be doing it mostly with Netflix, figured I'd review the movies here. I have pretty broad tastes in flicks, so I'll try and call out why I liked or didn't like them...

So far, I'm 6 movies in... Here's what I have so far (in review order):

Someone Marry Barry - Tyler Labine, Daman Wayan, Jr.

If you like movies with people who act crudely (I do), this is worth watching. Labine plays the guy in every group who says the wrong thing at the wrong time and has no filter. His buddies are trying to marry him off so he'll get a filter. Funny, even if it is a bit predictable.

Rapture-Palooza - Craig Robinson, Anna Kendrick, Paul Scheer (The League), Rob Corddry and a bunch more

Craig Robinson plays the anti-christ. Would have liked to see him in a father-son or buddy pic with Bernie Mac - there's a few moments in here where he seems to be channeling him. Overall pretty funny, but you need a sense of humor about the bible. This one is worth watching, especially if you like Robinson.

Cottage Country - Tyler Labine, Malin Ackerman

Dark comedy (def. in my sweet spot) - very much like a poor man's Fargo. I like both main actors a lot, and they do a good job here. There's a thin line between good foreshadowing and too predictable, and I think this movie is on the right side of it. Worth watching if you like dark comedy.

Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion - Lisa Kudrow, Mira Sorvino

Was expecting to not like this one as much as I did. Figured it would be pretty dated (given it was made 20 years ago), but figured at worst I'd hate-watch it. It had me laughing out loud at times. Worth watching.

Liberal Arts - Josh Radnor, Elizabeth Olsen, Allison Janney (in a short role)

If you liked Radnor's first flick - happythankyoumoreplease - you'll like this one too. Good story, rambled a bit, started stronger than it finished. I liked the first one better than this one, but overall I liked this one.

Happy Christmas - Anna Kendrick, Melanie Lynskey (the next door neighbor from Two and a Half Men), Lena Dunham

I'm a Kendrick fan, but this is the second Joe Swanberg movie I've seen and not liked that much. He comes with a little less polished style - I think they are ad libbed from his story, but not as well as a Best in Show or Curb Your Enthusiasm (which, would be quite an achievement of course). Not my cup of tea.

Started The Assets and Happy Valley.

Blew through 3 eps of Happy Valley last night.

Enjoying it a good deal.
Watching "Happy Valley" now - midway through Ep4. and thinking it may be better than "The Fall".

So good. I'm really hoping it doesn't take an unrealistic nonsensical turn.

 
Another fan of Happy Valley. Just watched the first episode

The main plot (spurned employee-lash out at boss-then regretting it) I have seen before, but it is done well here.

But the lead Sarah Lancashire, is a true delight.
 
Not sure where to post this as it does not belong in this thread, but I saw Wild in the theater over the weekend. I enjoyed it. And you get to see Reese's :blush: . :ph34r: :wub:

 
started watching Alphas (syfy)... first couple episodes seems- ok. but also seems like it could go south fast... does it?

 
I'm pretty psyched that Psych season 8 is finally available on Jan 8.

I can't tell if I'm being mocked or genuinely applauded, but I'll take it either way. Rare days when I get correspondence from my favorite poster of all time.

I didn't think Christmas Vacation was on Netflix?!? I looked for it the other day and didn't find it. Unless this includes the DVD movies, which is pretty much everything.

:hifive: so many good storylines in one short season made it pretty intense. When you think back on everything the lead character has been through, and goes through, it is easy to understand her going a little :loco:

I was thinking Fargo meets A Simple Plan.

That lead character in Happy Valley was really great!

And another little thing I loved about it was the theme music, "Trouble Town".

I thought SWC was a lady?

 
so... Alphas... anybody?
i watched a few episodes of it and liked it well enough. straithairn is fairly reliable - if to the point of predictable - as an actor and seemed to fit what they were going for. that said, i felt like it wasn't covering any new ground and yet another rehash that i didn't need to waste my time with.

I enjoyed it, would give it a B or B-, but if you aren't invested by part 3 of an 8 part miniseries you might as well cut bait.
