Fired up the Netflix show "GLOW" not knowing what it was but saw Marc Maron on the photo and figured I'd give it a try cause he's really funny and surprisingly it's a damn funny and good show

Not a wrestling fan, but finished GLOW in like 5 days, was really good.

If you can, catch "The Brave" on NBC, excellent show.

Well I've just just completed it, I read the book a few years ago and the series was very true to it (but it did have more boobs in it, not a bad thing)  :tu:

Haven't watched it yet, but  that premise reminded me of my favorite sci-fi book "Gateway" by Frederik Pohl, check it out if you get a chance, there's a few in the series

I've not watched it too the end yet, but so far I'm loving Altered Carbon.  Without looking back through the thread I'd also recommend The Expanse if folks like their Sci-Fi shows.

BTW, that downloaded consciousness bit is not in the first book if I remember correctly, maybe the 2nd or 3rd, but after you read the first you will be reading the sequels, it's that good. I read these like 20 years ago, Hugo & Nebula award winner, haven't read much in past 10 years, but I think I will dig through my storage box of books and reread.

 :facepalm:

New, interesting and visually stunning......and I would rather watch 10 episodes of The Big Bang Theory......

It's just me, but both the Marvel and DC crowdedverses lost me recently with the cross-over episodes, I don't have time for all of them so I lost the plot completely.

It might just be me, but this is starting to feel like work rather than entertainment.

Same with Hard Sun btw.........

I think season 2 still only available on network, still have last weeks finale on my DVR, they may have split it up or something. I'm hooked on this Bloodline show, so it will be awhile until I fire up good place S2 finale, but it's a great show, really funny.

Some thoughts on the thread so far.

First, I LOVED the first couple Netflix Marvel series. Daredevil season 1 and Jessica Jones specifically. I was a bit disappointed that in DD season 2, the best part was Punisher. I am utterly sick to death of Elektra and the Hand. Been putting up with that dumn S*** since the 80s in the comics. Luke Cage was okay, but had a bad third act. Iron Fist was flat out bad. Defenders was alright. One thing they seemed to learn is that 13 eps is TOO long for one of these series, and cut it down to 8. I haven't seen Punisher yet. As for these not being the 'right' Defenders... Defenders was a title that had a BIG rotation of characters. When i started reading, it was Hulk, Dr. Strange, Submariner, and Silver Surfer. then, just 2 issues later, they switched the team completely, and it was Beast, Angel, Iceman, Valkyrie, Moondragon, and Gargoyle. The title never sold well. It was like a second-rate 'Avengers'. So they kept trying different combinations. I had no problem with the lineup they had in the show. Next time, they should add the Daughters of the Dragon (Coleen Wing and Misty Knight) and Hellcat (Trish Walker). And Frank, of course. :D

Someone mentioned The Mist. I loved the movie made a few years back. I tried watching the series, and it was a wretched pile of CW teen drama.

Speaking of CW Drama, I watched Flash for a while, couldn't stand Green Arrow, absolutely loathed Legends of Tomorrow, thought the first few eps of Supergirl were merely okay, I'm pretty much not the target audience for CW, I think.

Tick. I have followed the Tick since the original black and white comic came out in the 80s, and LOVE it. It is perfect, if you like absurd humor.

Expanse. Watched the first season, and was highly entertained. I'm not sure why i haven't hunted down season 2 yet.

Black Mirror. I've only seen the opening ep of this season 'The Calister', the star trek-ish one, and it was one of the best bits of sci-fi I've seen in a LONG time.

Mindhunter: Excellent. I read the book in the early 90s and while fictionalized, it's still an interesting story.

A series I haven't seen mentioned was 'American Horror Story'. Each season is a stand-alone story. I hated season 1, liked season 2 (Asylum), like Season 3 (Coven), Didn't finish season 4 (Freakshow), liked season 5 (Hotel), started the first ep of season 6 (Roanoke) and got no further.

Not on netflix, that i know of, but if you're in to superhero stuff, check out the DC Animated movies. They are almost universally really good (with the exception of 'Son of Batman').

And speaking of that, if you can find it, there are 2 seasons of an animated series called 'Young Justice' which I thought was amazing. I THINK Netflix is working on making a third season.

Jeez, enough yacking from me already.

also a fan of American Horror Story here   :tu:

I recommend the Punisher, so violent  :D and one of the best Marvel series out there, love the action and all the work behind the action scenes!  :gimme:
When they released the newer "The Mist" movie I also fell in love with it (in fact I bought it on DVD, rare thing to do for me) and I quickly got hooked by the same Frank Darabont when he started The Walking Dead, a series I still watch today  :cheers:

Arrow was a 5 episode series for me, couldn't keep watching after that.

And I've been following Black Mirror since episode 1, anxiously waiting for every new season, the last one is very good too (except the robo-dog episode  :P)

season 2 of the tick is out.

I watched most of altered carbon, maybe the sound editing needs work, I find myself rewinding it a lot, or they just through in a lot of techno jargon, I think its pretty decent, will finish it up this weekend.

Started watching American Vandal, a mockumentary ala spinal tap, pretty funny so far.
