Outside of sports, I don't think I've watched network television for over 10 years. Didn't see an episode of BB until it hit Netflix. Just discovered Modern Family
Beautiful with a great score. I thought it was an interesting plot. Really liked some of the characters while others felt flat. Also, Alison PillDEVS... anybody?
wife signed up for a week of free Hulu- and we're watching it... 2 or 3 in. not sure where I am on it yet, but will keep going. seems interesting.
Good call on the score! Last episode with Steve Reich "come out" was incredible in that regard.Beautiful with a great score. I thought it was an interesting plot. Really liked some of the characters while others felt flat. Also, Alison Pill
Hah, another show this could apply to (minus the “mindsploding science fiction” part) is Shadowhunters on Hulu. It’s laughably bad and yet wife and I continue to watch it.Nick Vermeil said:Does she like angst? Do you like beautiful young people? Do you both like mindsploding science fiction? The 100 is what you are looking for. Also maybe Riverdale.
Haven't seen those but I'm enjoying upload so far.I liked the series. Kind of has a Chuck / Imposters vibe.
a little further in... the calamity jane aspect of the brokers journey teetered into ridiculous. still well made and interesting story, but for a limited series, they're milking a lot of misfortune out of it for them in particular. for something this relatively well done, feels like a cheap plot device for creating episodes. but again, it's well done, so still into it and recommending it.narcos meets sicario meets.. I had a third one that I forgot.Just finished this, thought it was excellent. If you liked Narcos, you will love this show. Highly recommend.Finished Zero Zero Zero and liked it a lot. different than a lot of the other stuff out there right now. im surprised there hasn’t been more talk about it.
started this on the recs in here... partway through and it's really good. well filmed, acted, written... just great across the board.
Subtitles FTW.Anyone watch Dark? I was intrigued by first episode but the dubbing (original was German) is a little annoying. Just want to make sure it’s “worth it” to continue.
Definitely worth it...but go with subtitles. That show may have the worst dubbing I've ever seen.Anyone watch Dark? I was intrigued by first episode but the dubbing (original was German) is a little annoying. Just want to make sure it’s “worth it” to continue.
really liked it! Season 3 reportedly coming to netflix next month.Anyone watch Dark? I was intrigued by first episode but the dubbing (original was German) is a little annoying. Just want to make sure it’s “worth it” to continue.
this is on Netflix?Little confusing, but I’m enjoying Zero Zero Zero enough so far after 2 episodes to keep going.
Fox sold nearly all their stuff to Disney, and Disney has pulled as much of their owned content as they can from all competing services. Hulu is owned/controlled by Disney and where they put all the adult content that can't go on Disney+. Which is most FX & FXX shows.I loved the first 2 seasons. I haven't really watched TV shows over the last few years, but coming back for the pandemic, has HULU just stolen every FX show?
I'm a Netflix, You Tube TV, Prime Video person (and Prime Video is a last resort because their interface sucks so bad). I want to catch up on all my old beloved FX shows. Did HULU just snap them all up?
I'm not even seeing a buy option for Fargo on Prime Video.
I’m with you, it didn’t bother me enough to use subtitles. After a few shows you recognize the voices so I really noticed it less and less. I mean it was pretty obvious if it bothers you but it didn’t detract from the show for me. I liked it a lot.really liked it! Season 3 reportedly coming to netflix next month.
I know I am in the minority but after a few episodes i didn't mind the dubbing
Waco was on Paramount.I finished Waco. Not Netflix's best effort but it was passable. It made me want to read the books it was based on. I remember when all this went down but there were many aspects I was not aware of. I loved Koresh playing we still believe to the ATF
All in all a horrible story and a lot of needless deaths.
I really liked it. The locations were amazing. Great cinematography. Action scenes. Violent gun battles. The actor playing Manuel, The Mexican Special Forces guy, was awesome.zerozerozero on Prime is quite amazing. Not sure how I didnt know about this but its really good. Pretty vast storyline and gets tense a lot. strongly recommend. Lots of violence.
That's probably a good thingSweet J said:It’s really hard to find shoes that both my 16 year old daughter and I would like.
I agree, and thought Manuel reminded me of a young Esai Morales (Paco Moreno from Bad Boys). But, I just really really really had a hard time buying the two American actors as drug kingpins. The casting of them kind of ruined it for me a bit as every scene I see Dane Dehaan trying to be tough or the female lead staring down a thug I just think they would laugh at them and slap them across the face and they would start crying.I really liked it.

Yep. The American storyline was ok. I liked the mechanics of the smuggling and the tension of the process, but the Lynwoods were kinda weak. Would of been better if Gabriel Byrne hung around longer. Emma Lynwood wasn't that good. Her brother was ok, but that pair weren't the most compelling characters. I dug the Mexican storyline the best by far. The Italians could of been more interesting as well IMO. Don Minu seemed kind of weak. Still, one of the better shows I've seen in a while. Must of had an enormous budget. The biggest star were locations. There must've been like 5 different countries. All beautifully shot. Those scenes of the small Italian town by drone were incredible.I agree, and thought Manuel reminded me of a young Esai Morales (Paco Moreno from Bad Boys).

binged watched all 4 seasons. Now I need something else to watch. Never been a netlix person, but when there is a pandemic without sports....... looking for a little distractionbicycle_seat_sniffer said:just finished season 3 out of 4 of the Money Heist on Netflix. Its an original Spanish TV series, so its dubbed in English, but we like it, pretty good twist and turns.
Jericho is worth a watch, especially if you were aware of Koresh but don't have a ton of knowledge already.binged watched all 4 seasons. Now I need something else to watch. Never been a netlix person, but when there is a pandemic without sports....... looking for a little distraction

I'm 6/10 of the way thru Season 1 and it's keeping my interest so far.......But i read something online where you shouldn't expect Season 2 until 2022.Upload starts on Amazon Prime today.
liked the series. Kind of has a Chuck / Imposters vibe.
I'm so in.
listened to a great serial podcast on this case & left out feeling like 80/20 certain he was guilty of most of the murders. his own words are so.... creepy and difficult... that i'm almost certain he's the guy, but there's the lingering doubt because of how poorly everything was handled.I finished up "Atlanta's Murdered and Missing: The Lost Children" on HBO. I learned a lot from the 5 part series but am no closer in deciding if Williams is guilty. Such a bizarre case all around. Handled so poorly.
My biggest suspicion of him is his reaction through all of this. At no time does he seem to want to seriously fight for his innocence and at times revels in the attention. They even mention it on the show that they had to urge him to show some emotion on the stand after a subdued first day. Why was he on the bridge? Who was the woman he was supposed to be going to see the next day? They never found her. I don't doubt there were more than a few that could have died for other reasons but he clearly seems like he was involved somehow with some of them.listened to a great serial podcast on this case & left out feeling like 80/20 certain he was guilty of most of the murders. his own words are so.... creepy and difficult... that i'm almost certain he's the guy, but there's the lingering doubt because of how poorly everything was handled.
this HBO special (so far) has me leaning more like 70/30.
I just started this - on the 4th episode of Season 1. Its pretty funny.just noticed that S2 of Future Man was already released earlier this year.
this show is ridiculous and fun- its very tongue in cheek and commits to its humor.
one of the things that gives me pause about his guilt or innocence is his insatiable need for attention. he would do/say anything for people to pay attention to him, it seems.jamny said:My biggest suspicion of him is his reaction through all of this.

Just finished Rectify with the wife. Not sure how much I really liked it. There were parts that held my attention, and others that seemed to drag on. I think part of it is that they didn't get into the entire backstory of the initial crime until season 2. It took awhile to hold my attention, but it was decent. I wouldn't watch it again.Finally got around to watching Rectified. Critically acclaimed show that I didn’t think I would like.
It is phenomenal.
Edit: “Rectify”
I really liked it for the acting and character development. Teddy, especially, was an enthralling character. But no one could ever say the show moves quickly.Just finished Rectify with the wife.

Is the documentary any good, though? I watched the first episode and it was absolutely all over the place.one of the things that gives me pause about his guilt or innocence is his insatiable need for attention. he would do/say anything for people to pay attention to him, it seems.
now that could mean he's full of #### and just stringing people along.... or he did these murders & can't help but keep his face in the media because he needs people to know he did it without fully admitting anything because that might mean people stop paying attention.
if i could remember the podcast... his explanation of the bridge and mystery woman are so..... embarrassingly obviously false and such a huge hole in his defense that it almost feels true. like what idiot would make up THAT story and stick with it? maybe he's so egotistical that he can't imagine stepping down from it, or he realizes that wavering opens the door too much for further inspection in to a different story.
fascinating guy and terribly sad story. maybe one day he coughs up enough detail to tie him to several of these... that's the only way anyone is getting closure.

If you're looking for a fast-paced plot-driven whodunit, this ain't it.
To me, this show was a lot like real life in its pacing. I know a lot of folks don't want slow-and-meditative in their TV shows, and that's ok. I actually thought it was a breath of fresh air amidst all of the plot-heavy dramas airing at the same time. For sure, no network or major cable channel would have given Rectify its run.
I'm glad this show aired and that I watched it. The characters and performances were fantastic across the board.
the first episode is definitely scattershot as they try to set up all the parts to the storyIs the documentary any good, though? I watched the first episode and it was absolutely all over the place.
