Stranger Things Season 3 is out today

I got it

but I'm going camping, only BushTV this weekend.

Sunday evening after a warm shower, I'll start the binge!

I still don't have netflix so watch them via other means

I'm currently catching up with Lucifer.

I haven't watched any of the stranger things series yet but will at some stage.

Good Omens on amazon prime was good, so was Jack Ryan. I've just started watching Hanna on there as well, which looks like it will be a good series.

Netflix might have made binge-watching a thing (not before torrents

), but this thread has needed a new name for a while.

Thanks for the reminder......still haven't finished Hanna....

Dark Web - 8/10

Started watching last night, fell asleep during the 6th episode....which I watched again 5am this morning.

Short, wonderfully intertwined episodes, got me hook line & sinker

Done with it and still highly recommended.

We've had a bad flu season, some isolated H1N1, I just had fever for 30 hours.....so much tv viewing was done.....

Soft recommendation for Pennyworth after watching the first episode, it's about the early years of Alfred, Batman's butler......

Blackbeard · **Reply #399 on:** July 26, 2019, 09:32:36 AM

hope you feel better GG, I think I may check out "The Boys" first,

yeah I'm regretting this sentence as I type it

Blackbeard · **Reply #400 on:** July 28, 2019, 02:10:28 AM

to "The Boys" on Prime a very different take on the superhero genre, I'll toss a rating in after I finish it but it's very good so far.

Thanks for the heads-up.......Eric Kripe going dark, I like it!

Only 7 and 8 left for tonight

"The Boys" 8.75/10

Really well done, lots of funny scenes as well

Gerhard Gerber · **Reply #403 on:** August 02, 2019, 12:00:28 PM

Another Life 5/10........maybe

The series was ok up to episode 4 then becomes very surreal with dream sequences etc etc etc.......like they wanted to drag it out or the writers ran out of ideas.

In all, not recommended

I watched the first episode, should have listened to you GG

Not good

Blackbeard · **Reply #405 on:** August 15, 2019, 01:20:20 AM

well I got through 2/3 of it, it has got a little better, but it's really a blatant ripoff of Alien, Contact and Close Encounters only with a much more obnoxious cast.

Gerhard Gerber · **Reply #406 on:** August 15, 2019, 11:57:48 AM

I'm blaming the change of season, nothing is keeping my attention.

The Rook is good no doubt, but I only got halfway through ep2.....

All that I really enjoy currently is Forged in Fire, Alone and Deadliest Catch.

Pity as Katee Sackoff was great in BSG

Not a new series or netflix original but is on Netflix. Blue Bloods. One of my favorite modern tv shows.

Blackbeard · **Reply #411 on:** September 02, 2019, 05:26:32 AM

Anybody checking out "Carnival Row"? I watched a couple of episodes but its kinda meh, wondering if it gets any better, kinda like an R rated harry potter/lord of the rings/cop show mashup.

spudley112 · **Reply #412 on:** September 02, 2019, 06:35:10 AM

Has anyone seen they new "Andy Griffith Show?" It is a hard 'R' version of the original with lots of nudity, foul language and murder. Barney is HUGE and Aunt Bea is a hottie!

Just kidding...but the way they are remaking everything...could happen.

On a serious note...I started watching "Agents of Shield" just because it was on Netflix and had Coulson in it. At first I was really into it, but after awhile the story lines just wore me out. The whole "I am going to follow orders when it suits me," followed up by the "we caused the world to be on the brink of disaster again" follow-up, became formulaic at best.

The latest season was okay, but it does feel like they ran out of stories a bit......that said the only Marvel series I'm still watching.

spudley112 · **Reply #414 on:** September 02, 2019, 08:54:39 AM

I know "The Orville" was mentioned very early on, but I have to really tip my hat to Seth McFarlane. The series has taken a more serious SciFi role, and although the humor is still mixed in, the subject matter is great. In my eyes, it has almost out star trekked star trek.

The current season 6 was pretty good I thought, I didnt really like last years (S5) episodes, was very slow and badly lit.

Cool, I'll stick with it(Carnival Row), was just a little hard to get into "the world" they were presenting in Ep1, but was a bit better in Ep2.

For the last week, I have been watching Van Helsing on Netflix. I still cannot decide if I am going to stick with this show. In the show, vampires have taken over the world and there are only a few humans left. The writers really seem to suck at building characters the audience would ever care about. The surviving humans are the worst kind of people possible. Cold, uncaring, fragile, turn on a dime, full of betrayal...heck, one is an actual serial killer. Even the "good guys" seem WAY to quick to drop the hammer on other surviving humans. Everyone is screwing everyone else over in one way or another. They just really don't seem to build any sympathy for anyone in the show. You can't even root for the vampires in the show because they are screwing each other over too.

There are too many scenes that are drawn out with contrived suspense. A lot of secrets with ten minutes of another character repeatedly asking what is going on. Some real inconsistencies that drive me crazy keep popping up. One minute, UV light burns the heck out of a vampire, the next minute they are walking around on a sunny day just fine because there is a little shade.

I guess I am griping a lot considering I am still watching the show. At this point I decided to at least finish the first season to see if it gets any better. It blows my mind though that it was renewed for a fourth season, considering some of the shows that have been canceled.

This last season sucked as a whole, all fine and well using the show to make social commentary, few episodes managed to do that in a good way and still be funny, but many just sucked.

Seth McFarlane has such an excellent sense of humor I'm surprised and disappointed. Maybe he spent too much time in Charlize Theron's company

Bill Burr Paper Tiger - 11/10

Can't remember the last time I laughed so much.......obviously not for PC SJW's
