Just got done with Umbrella Academy.  Loved it.  Has kind of an X-Men plot with Watchmen feel to it.  Characters I've never heard of before they aren't fighting pre-concieved mythology.  

Finished 10 episodes I 2 days, my wife did it in one.

On episode 3. So far I'm enjoying it. Mr. Pogo is probably my 3rd favorite Butler ever. 

I'll admit it, I enjoyed the Tiffany scene. Great song.

Jessica Jones and Punisher Officially cancelled :(

Season 2 of both series sucked royally and I loved season 1 of both.

I agree JJ2 was a disappointment.. Punisher 2, while not as good as season 1 was still good..

And both were 10X better then 90% of the junk on the main broadcast T.V. channels..

At least Ozark, Stranger Things and now Umbrella Academy are picking up for the lost shows. :thumbup:

 
Season 2 was a bit of a letdown, but probably due in part to season 1 being so damn awesome.  Bernthal and his Punisher deserves a movie, IMO.  If nothing else, 90 minutes of gratuitous bad-assery and Punisher guttural grunts is worth it

 
There's a series called Raiders of the lost art that was recommended.  I don't understand why it only gets 2 stars but I find it interesting if you're into history.  I don't know if it's because it's more focused on the history around the art instead of being focused solely on artwork or what the deal is but I think it's pretty well done.

I love that series. I've watched it through a couple times now and probably will again.

 
Marvel is owned by Disney so when they come out with their service later this year, they might make a Punisher series.  I would expect it to be more like the Marvel movies than the way Netflix produced them.  I can't see them allowing anyone else produce Marvel content at this point when their own streaming service is so close to launch.  IIRC they also own Hulu so it may be on Hulu or some combination.  When Disney's service comes out, I will probably cut Netflix and go with Disney and Hulu going forward.

 
Those considering Disney streaming.. You all have kids? I ask as I have zero interest.. I purchase the Marvel/Star wars movies that I may rewatch.. And the Marvel shows I did like aren't worth paying for yet another service.. I barely have time to watch the shows/movies I do like on Netflix so I have no idea how you all find time to watch multiple streaming services. :whoosh:

And our one and only child moved in with her soon to be husband so I'm not busy raising her...

Guessing watching shows/movies is your hobby? :shuked:

No way is Disney going to put shows like the Marvel Defenders in their Disney streaming service IMO. Maybe Hulu, but no way they put MA material on the Disney branded service.

 
Working from home yesterday while recovering from a concussion. I got to watch "Hostiles" with Christian Bale during lunch and I liked it. It's a gorgeous movie but the plot is a mess. I still enjoyed it because of the look of the film. Bale gives another quality performance. He desperately needs to find a comedy to bring some balance to his career.

Movie night over the weekend and we settled on "Herbie Fully Loaded" because my boy loves cars. It's Disney and mostly forgettable as a movie. My son is just beginning to discover girls at this point and was asking me a ton of questions afterwards about Lohan.

Both seasons?? Because if you think Season 1 was bad then.. hmmmm.. not sure who you are as the real jgoggydogg wouldn't post that ;)

Season 2 had some good moments and some really bad ones.. They tried to cram two stories lines into one season.. and now I think we know why..

I did enjoy season 1, it's true. But that lady who plays the FBI agent is unbearably bad. 

 
Too hard to search for to see if it has been brought up already, but we are about halfway through the series The Fall. There's only 17 episodes altogether. Set in Ireland, Jamie Dornan (Fifty Shades of Grey) plays a total psycho and Gillian Anderson (X-Files) is the Lead Detective trying to catch him. We think it is an excellent psychological thriller with good character development with some seat squirming moments. (it doesn't hurt that several of the actresses are easy on the eyes.) The knock by some people is that it is a little too slow. FWIW, the first two seasons each got 100% ratings on Rotten Tomatoes.

I really liked the first season and thought the second was good but I remember reading here how S3 just completely fell apart and never bothered watching it, taking the word of my GB's here in the FFA.

I really enjoyed this when I saw it in the theater. I thought it was well done. But I described it as two hours of unrelenting misery broken up by short bursts of incredible violence.

God I miss Movie Pass.

S1 is mostly very good. S2 is not very good by comparison. S3 is an abomination. Best to stop after S1, imo.

 
Watched first epi of Umbrella Academy. I won't let me almost 9 year old watch it based on this first episode. Too violent, too mature thematically. That said, I think it looks like a blast and will watch it myself. I like its decidedly non-Marvel/DC roots.

I wasn't impressed by the trailer, but I'm glad you posted this. Now I'm interested...

The Big Short was sort of a comedy.

Yeah it was based a real events that were serious in nature but it was presented in a flippant way with over the top characters. Not a straight up comedy but it had comedic elements.

loved the movie, but yeah the guys giving mortgages to strippers and the synthetic CDO guy in Vegas seemed a little over the top.  But who knows, maybe it really was that bad.

I often wonder this myself, how much ####### TV do you people watch? I'm not buying an hour or two a night when you are commenting on multiple series and new release movies. I don't have the time to binge watch anything over a weekend. Binging to me is about 3-4 weeks to watch 10-15 episodes :lmao:

Was bored last night and caught the first episode. Looks like a fun series but I wouldn't let kids not in their teens watch it. I'm a lot more conservative than most of you but like @saintfool said, too adult in nature and enough blood & guts to say no go.

:goodposting:   After catching up on the series I wanted to catch-up on, I decided to start up Ozark 3 weeks ago..

As much as I'm enjoying it, I'm just now half way through Season 2... At best I have had time to "binge watch" 2 episodes at a time, but most times it has been 1 episode a day..
