Just finished up Luke Cage.. meh.. OK, but not a "Must see" series in my book

Loved Jessica Jones, but this one fell flat for me..

I think what I liked most about JJ was the "completion" of the story Arc so Season 2 will be "fresh" .. Luke Cage will be more of the same when season 2 rolls around so not as excited for season 2 as I am for JJ. 

Yea I agree about Luke Cage. We stopped halfway through. I enjoyed both seasons of DD. Never even tried JJ, the notion of a woman superhero is just to unbelievable for me to even try it.

Just started watching Catastrophe (Amazon Prime).  First episode is incredibly funny -- others are still funny, but also dealing with serious stuff.  Recommend.

good show... new season starts sometime soon... maybe next month.

on the same note,  You're The Worst from FX is pretty similar except it's a English guy and American chick... same funny/serious kind of thing... probably not as good as Castastrophe, but only a notch or two below.

Just finished the first season of Timeless, really liked it. NBC show so probably on HULU.

Catching up on Six. Another show I'm enjoying, from the History Channel.

I'm a big fan of Catastrophe. It's clever, truly funny and with good pacing. "You're the Worst" got good buzz and I tried it. It didn't really click for me. I didn't much care for the two leads.

Just binged Hap and Leonard. I really liked it but good Lord it was dark.

We watched it when it was on TV. Thought it was pretty good but not interested in seeing the new season.

Finished The Crown and loved it. 10 episodes was not enough. All around great.

I liked it too. I know it's not a typical drama but the finale was pretty meh.

 

[Jobber]

I'm hooked on Stranger Things. They do the 80's so well!

 

[Beef Ravioli]

Finished Rectify tonight, enjoyed the series but am I glad it's over! I don't think I would watch it again.

 

[ren hoek]

Finding Dory is added for anyone with kids.

We don't have kids but Zootopia was really good.  So is The Storybots 

 

[jamny]

I liked it too. I know it's not a typical drama but the finale was pretty meh.

The show was pretty consistent from start to finish. Not really highs and lows, just telling the story. I didn't expect anything dramatic in the finale and thought it ended leaving me wanting more.

Season 2 is estimated to be out in November. Sounds like Lithgow might not be back, although I'm not sure how much of a story he had left still.

 

[Beef Ravioli]

Just started Hell on Wheels.

Have liked the first two episodes. Does it maintain?

 

[El Floppo]

A few episodes into Hotel Beau Sejour... enough to keep me going. Has taken me this long to figure out that whacked out language is Belgian/Flemish.

 

[PlayaHata]

Anybody watched Chef's Table?  I just heard about this today and watched the first episode, which was so-so.  I'm kind of a foodie though, and the series gets awesome reviews, so I'll keep watching.  I think I saw that it's made by the same folks who made Jiro Dreams of Sushi.

There are some episodes in each season that get "lost" and confusing but overall the series, IMO, was well done.

wat?   

 

[saintfool]

Started "The Crown" finally. Two episodes into it and I like it. It's not bowling me over yet but I recognize that it is good. I will credit it for being pretty well cast but also the mechanics of good storytelling are there.

Yea, yea, yea...welcome to 2006.

The Infiltrator was excellent btw.

I think it was up for an academy award for best makeup in a foreign film.

Twilight 4/5 - I liked it. I wish it had a bit more action and less angsty starting but still good.

isn't the whole notion of superheroes "unbelievable" in the first place?

2 new chappelle specials dropping at midnight tonight

Just started Hell on Wheels.

Wife and I both really liked it.  A few places it is kinda confusing/frustrating, but overall really well done Western.  Easy to root for the main character and root against the bad guys, and enough shades of gray to keep it interesting.

[Jobber]

Does the first half of The Walking dead show up on Netflix in the spring or summer? Or does the whole season drop in the fall?

 

[Jayrod]

Started watching Iron Fist.  It's better than Cage by far and on par with Jessica Jones but below DD, IMO.  I'm only about 4 episodes in so far.  I'm getting pretty geeked up for The Defenders and can't wait for more Daredevil.

As for some of the comedy stand up stuff, I've become a big Mike Birbiglia fan.  Watched a couple of his standups on Netflix and he just nails it, IMO.  Consistently funny.

 

[pantherclub]

End was the suckiest bunch of suck that ever sucked. 

This is the first show that I can remember in long time that actually made me angry.  Its like the writers were up against the clock and just threw the ending together.  Tons and tons of loose ends that just make no sense. 

 

[jamny]

I'm re-watching the original Star Trek from the beginning. I haven't seen a full episode in 20+ years and am loving seeing them all over again. Thanks to downloadable on Netflix now, it's become my entertainment on the bus/subway to and from work.

 

[Bull Dozier]

Late to the party, but my wife and I are midway through S2 or Broadchurch and I am loving it.  While the storylines of the actual crimes aren't the most compelling, I find the acting on average to be top notch (Miller, to me, is particularly excellent), and the dialogue to be refreshingly realistic.

There are FIVE.  

It's sketchy in the first one, but gets better throughout

saw these last night...hysterical!!!  Dude hasn't lost a thing, if anything he's matured and his delivery has gotten better.

All four are on there, just saw they did have #3 on there

During my long, awful recovery from surgery I binge-watched all of Peaky Blinders, and I'm really glad I did.

I'm only four episodes in, but I love Iron Fist.

Well, I nearly lost my life to a gangrenous appendix that was spreading to my colon. But the ER doctor caught it just in time and the emergency surgery saved me.
