Just finished "The Good Place" season 1, interesting story and decently funny, not a lot of episodes, and each is only 22 minutes. blew through the season in 3 nights, but its worth checking out, has a lot of twists. Kristen Bell is hot, mean and funny, Ted Danson really good as always and theres a guy who you will swear is Samuel L Jacksons son, maybe he is, i'm not sure, but cant find the info. 8/10

Takes a few episodes to get used to the new cast, but there are some seriously funny jokes/riffs, and some of the most horrible movies I've ever seen with ultra cheesy dialogue, actors who are beyond terrible, and scripts that should have been tossed into the sun. It all makes for some good watching and great way to kill time while you debate which sak you will buy next. If you liked the original version, you will enjoy this as well. I'm almost up to the final show of the season, hard to binge watch since they are kinda long, so its taking me a couple of months of on and off watching, but highly recommended. 9/10
Post by: Blackbeard on September 30, 2017, 10:21:46 AM
Too much talking not enough punching. You pretty much need to watch the other netflix shows that the characters are culled from (daredevil, ironfist, luke cage, jessica jones) to have some context for this show, and those shows are kinda middling as well. I watch a lot of these superhero shows cause I grew up reading and collecting comics, sold all of them off years ago cause they take up too much space and are a burden to lug around...back to the topic, The defenders comics I read as a kid had the hulk smashing stuff and I think doctor strange and rotating characters, I dont remember these guys in that title so its a bit off to me, and way too much talking and arguing between the characters, kinda boring, skip it unless you must see every super hero thing that marvel churns out. 5/10

I started watching The Gifted but got bored of it after 10 mins so watched inhumans instead. I'll try the gifted again another time. It was about as interesting as Iron Fist was, and I gave up on that completely after 5 or 6 episodes. Hopefully it gets better

Another season of supernatural, watched them on netflix, enjoy this one even though its getting long in the tooth

Hear me out, yes, it is a musical comedy, but there is character development, and I've found several people to enjoy it. There are only two seasons, and the episodes are roughly 22 minutes long, so you can knock out the entire series in two days. Best of all, I think it's on both Hulu and Netflix.
Other honorable mentions are: The IT Crowd (UK version on Netflix) and Parks and Recreation (on both Netflix and Hulu). :cheers:

Also started watching "Genius" (biographic mini series about Albert Einstein's youth, maturity and life in general) and acting is good, they managed to keep it interesting the first 3 episodes
I saw the first 2 Episodes of the much announced "The Good Doctor" and like the science behind it, no surrealism, crazy things or made-up stuff there. Also spotted a SAK and Cold Steel folder in the first episode (pic) :D

The last episode was a thriller, I know it must be dramatized, but still, some of it is true.....
It's fascinating how his area of expertise involves profiling the killer based on the crime scene, the victim, how the victim was disposed of etc.
How many of the killers tried to get into law enforcement and drive a car similar to a cop car.
How VWs were BY FAR the serial killers' vehicle of choice in the 70s, especially Kombis which offered more.... space.....

I was aware of Edward's links to the Nazi already and nothing surprised me there. Though the attempt to link Philip to Profumo though seem to be on extremely dubious ground historically. I found the Episode juxtaposing Philip's and Charles time at school the most interesting. The Crown is a long way from being a documentary, but it has prompted me to do a little digging to find out what it's based on.

Watching the new Black Mirror. Diggin' it.
the first "Star Trek inspired" episode really dug on my nerd-ism and got lots of love from me :salute:
I think it was my favorite from the new season :cheers:
the robot dog episode was poorly done, badly acted, had lots of plot holes and nonsensical stuff and was IMO the worst one,
I watched it yesterday and really didn't care for its characters or the episode itself throughout the entire thing :-\

I never did find sub titles for Season 3 (I think), so that's how far I got :facepalm:
Oh, the ending in Season 4 is worth watching.
Aren't subtitles easy to activate when watching Netflix on PC and smartphone?

Have to suspend my Netflix binge as the audiobook Fire and Fury just came out a few hours ago over at Audible. Its 11 hours +. Time to read, errr, listen :popcorn:

its worth it, the first episode justs sets it up for the finale, then you can see what it all meantI just finished the last episode of the last season of Breaking Bad and it was WOW. You're right, the finale was all worth the show. It beat the ending of Season 4 for me. Thanks!!!

I do watch an episode or 2 per day of jerry seinfelds comedians/cars/coffee, but its just ok, not as funny as it should be and watching rich guys genuflect is not as good as a comedy special

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.

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.

Post by: Lynn LeFey on February 20, 2018, 06:19:39 PM
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)

Watched a few more Punishers over the weekend. It's as good as I hoped it would be. The best of the Marvel series I've watched so far. Iron Fist was so slow and dreary I gave up half way through the first season. Luke Cage was ok, but not as good as The Punisher.
yeah, agree, best marvel on netflix so far, I did'nt really like luke cage tho or crappy defenders, but punisher hit the right notes

"Danger, brain cells" do not watch Jessica Jones, what a pile of garbage, bad acting, bad writing, and unlikeable characters.
The version I downloaded had no audio.......season 1 being what it was, I haven't found inspiration to try again.....

Danger, Will Robinson!
Just saw the first episode of this Netflix show, “Lost in Space”.
I gather that there was an earlier version, but all I know about it is the the catchphrase I said above....
I don't know any of the original versions, but can I assume the movie re-make a few years ago is true to the original story?
Using the movie story line as measure, I have to say I'm impressed with the ideas of the "reboot" - it's as original as something unoriginal can be! :salute:
The one thing I struggle with is the actor that plays Dr Smith......I dislike that woman's face so much it almost pains me :rofl:
I hope she's a nice person in real life, and just a good actor! :rofl:

Yeah, I dislike the "Dr. Smith" character very much because of what she does, backstabbing and such.... I guess that means the actress is good at acting? :DDanger, Will Robinson!

It's not bad, it's just made with the same cookie cutter format as the rest of the Netflix superhero series, little too predictable :shrug:

It had a spirit trapped it that was being used to terrorise business owners so they would sell up cheap. Burning it destroys the spirit apparently.

Both are extremely moving and powerful - each in their own way.
Queer Eye is incredible for reality tv. Genuinely ground breaking and unique, honest, emotional and heartwarming but raw too. These guys have had to be strong just to be themselves and they use their experience to build bridges, tear down prejudice and help people out, not just with their style but their entire lives. Amazing.
Nanette is like no other comedy show I've ever seen - as honest, as raw and as deep as you'll ever see. Like with the guys from Queer Eye, you get an idea of the sheer determination and courage queer people have to have just to be themselves, even these days. Humbling to a straight, white dude.

The Hitmans Bodyguard, an "action thriller", I think this sort of movie is called.
Depending on your perspective, it has an obscenely or comically over the top amount of violence and swearing. ::) :rofl:
Every sentence on average has one of Samuel Jacksons and Ryan Reynolds favorite swear words in it. AND as a bonus, you get lots of Spanish and French swearing from other characters.
So, the reason I mention this movie is because of our favorite 91mm red handled multitools, SAKs. This movie features two appearances of one, being used by Ryan Reynolds. :climber: It was either a Tinker or Spartan I think, might go back and check.
It helps with stealing a car in the first appearance.
In the second... hmm, its worthy of more discussion. :popcorn:
From this SAKnight's perspective, which is probably not the same as the directors perspective, I think it solidifies the Bodyguards reputation as being the best of the best..... Because he manages to deploy a SAK main blade while running through a crowd from the bad guys, and then stab a bad guy in the torso all the way up to the handle without the blade folding and chopping off his fingers. :facepalm:

I'm not a fan of the guy, his humor seems to be centered solely in the underwear region, but what he's convincing public figures and politicians to say and do on camera is just hilarious! :rofl:

"Maniac" 8/10 another netflix original mini series. Very hard to describe, a sort of trippy mashup of the matrix, inception with a touch of bladerunner and pulp fiction, & retro 1980's computer tech evolved into present day? :dunno: not sure that makes sense but it was very enjoyable, starts a little slow but stick with it.

The Haunting of Hill House, I'm reserving my judgement on this as I'm not really a fan of horror. Seems ok so far, but it does tend to jump around all over the place so you miss loads if you stop paying attention.
Watched a few episodes, pretty decent story and acting, not as scary as the title suggests but I might be a jaded viewer at this point in my life, when you're eating dinner and out of the corner of your eye you see a large spider on your shoulder like I did last night....that's some scary s***, I definitely let out a scream :rofl:

Created & directed by Sam Esmail, if you like Mr. Robot you will enjoy this, it's not as confusing tho. Good story & camera work + only 1/2 hour per episode so you can bang it out in a few days,

So.....
Supernatural is back for another season......
Mayans MC........worth a watch
The First - liked the concept and the first two episodes were good.......then the writers got lazy I think, don't need all the dramatic flash-backs :facepalm:
The Last Ship S3 - Last season they were right on the edge of what was still entertaining........this new season they pushed me beyond the brink before the end of EP1...... :facepalm:
Bull........new season, still liking it, not sure why :think:
Had the season saved on dvr, finally got around to it, about to watch finale :iagree: good successor to "Sons Of Anarchy"

It's written by a woman, think she has issues? :dunno: episode 5 has the bloodiest fight scene. Violence is a strange beast, people have no issue with Star Wars when an entire planet is blown up, but a guy getting hit in the face with a kettlebell will made me cringe.

I never read the comics so I don't know the character, what I do like is his ability to survive and kick-smurf seemingly without and supernatural abilities.
There was however one part that I found utterly ridiculous, en E10 where he cracks after shooting the women. I do not find that realistic for the character, and for some reason it rather irritated me for a moment.
As for the violence, I found that realistic except maybe for the fight in the gym. Not sure even Russian gansters can take those hits :P

Yeah I fell asleep a few times during a few episodes(but I cant say if it was just my late night viewing habits or the writing)and had to rewind a bunch but i did enjoy it. It starts off kinda slow and has a watchmen feel with present day characters and past day backstory unlike most origin first superhero stuff. Thought it was better then some of the snoozefest netflix Marvel shows, most of them have been canceled anyways.
Decent special effects and interesting soundtrack....7/10

Been having a hard time finding shows to watch in between rewatching "Supernatural" seasons out of order, so I tried Ken Jeong's comedy special, "lets see if this is funny" I said to myself...2 brutal days later of watching in 20 minute increments my answer is no, no it is not. There's basically one joke about his wife's name, and then him name dropping endlessly and making "The Hangover" references and bragging about his bank account and medical degree. I don't think I laughed once.Such a shame! I didn't get any further than the trailer. Pity because I love him in Community and his bit part in The Office - beautifully deranged.

I'd give it a 6.5/10 for "Good Omens" Wasn't great, but not terrible, a mashup of "Hitchikers Guide To The Galaxy + "Supernatural" + "Dr. Who" but with a lot of Hammy acting, decent special effects and good soundtrack(A lot of Queen)
I thought it was goofy, unrealistic, written by a lunatic, completely sophomoric, moronic and completely enjoyable. It is absolutely DUMB, I loved it. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :hatsoff:

It was one of my favourite books ever, Prachet easily got too much for me and Gaiman tempered the story nicely. It was too many years ago to remember how accurate it is to the book, but I think they did a great job.

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

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.
Post by: Gerhard Gerber on September 02, 2019, 08:32:42 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.
I'll watch the last episode tonight......quite liked it so far.

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.

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.
Post by: spudley112 on September 03, 2019, 06:45:39 AM
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.
Post by: Gerhard Gerber on September 03, 2019, 10:35:09 AM
For the last week, I have been watching Van Helsing on Netflix.
It lost me very early on :facepalm:
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.
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 :facepalm:

Just started watching the new series of Preacher and the new show swamp thing both on amazon prime. Preacher gets more weird as it goes on, and swamp thing is pretty good so far, but only watched the first 2 episodes.
Preacher lost me completely, and I really enjoyed it in the beginning.....I'm good with weird but I just get the feeling there's no real story left.
Swampthing :facepalm: I want to predict you don't get past the 4th episode....it was cancelled.

First episode of Watchmen was :woohoo:
Was interesting, but strange, gonna have to see some more episodes & see where they are going with the story.
Saw 6/8 episodes of the new netflix series "Living With Yourself" with Paul Rudd. Better than the previews make it seem, but also seems padded to get more episodes/length by showing same story from different characters perspectives, but it's a decent watch so far 7/10.
On regular networks, "Evil" is pretty interesting and creepy, "Emergence" is a decent sci-fi series, This seasons "Always Sunny In Philladelphia" much better than past couple of years.

Up to episode 2 of The Outsider, not a huge Stephen King fan but it's very interesting so far..... :salute:
Was gonna check that out last night but fell asleep. Currently watching "The Witcher" pretty good, would be nice if they threw in some graphics so you could tell what year it was, kind of jumps around through time with no explanation.
Finished the awful "V Wars" I'd give it a 4.5/10, but if you like cheesy sci-fi/horror with bad acting it may be worth a shot.
I did catch the first episode of "Dracula" and agree with GG's 8/10 although it was very similar in some sections to the movie with Gary Oldman
Also liked "Messiah" but it did drag in some parts and didn't address some questions before it ended, but instead sets up for another season 7/10
Had finished the second season of "Jack Ryan" a few weeks ago, thought S1 was a bit better, but it was pretty good 7.5/10
Couple others I watched recently that have some very funny moments: "Dolemite Is My Name" with Eddie Murphy 7.5/10 & "The Kominsky Method" with Michael Douglas & Alan Arkin 7/10

The first season was entertaining, but the setup for the second season was kinda obvious :facepalm:
I know this is expected in a series, but I found it slightly irritating.
There is a part of the story line that seems utterly contrived to display the writer's woke-status, I know sexuality and gender are favourite topics, and I have no problem with one of the lead characters being gay, or even the kiss....
What set my BS-meter ringing is the fact is seems more important that he's gay than the fact the he's a warlock! :think:
If you're going to be a gay warlock, cool, but be a gay warlock, not a gay warlock! :facepalm:

Pretty good, lots of similarites to Goodfellas I thought, with soundtrack from the era and character set ups and voice overs. Was a little long, they probably could have cut a 1/2 hour out of it or made into a mini series, but overall a good mobster pic. Also check out the short doc after the movie Scorsese, Deniro, Pecci & Pacino talk about the CGI used to make them look younger which is pretty amazing.
I was able to view it in one sitting with a few bathroom and coffee breaks, needed something to kill the time until an early doctor appointment for my ruined knee which might have a torn ligament, so painful, hoping for the best but I think I'm pretty boned :(

Interrogation - so far 8/10

This kept me up till early morning hours......think the rating should be 9/10 :salute:
I was feeling like a rebel so I went from episode 4 to episode 10....which didn't work.
Seems like you need to watch the first episode, 2-9 you can watch in any sequence, episode 10 last

After being put off by too many shows with annoying kids, didn't think I would enjoy it, but the acting and story was very good and low annoying kid factor :rofl: made for a decent watch.

Locke & Key 8/10

Watched a few minutes of the first episode, but realised very quickly I will have to be in the mood for it.......saved for another day.

It does start a little slow, I fell asleep 30 minutes in on a late night, went to watch it the next day and EP 3 was playing so I had to start from the beginning, hate when that happens, scratching my head and wondering if I had seen 2 episodes or not lol.

Done with Interrogation, can't recommend it highly enough :tu:
Dang another one I can't watch, hopefully there will be a huge streaming merger in the future of Netflix, hulu, CBS, but I'm not holding my breath
Really enjoying Santa Clarita Diet which, aside from great script and cast, has one of the all time great multitools featured: the HammerKnife!
Yeah that was a good show, not sure why they canceled it.
Slowly going through the entire Once Upon a Time series. :facepalm: I hate it and love it at the same time.
Eeeee, I'm addicted, dearie.
watched that a few years back, but it lost me in later seasons, never finished the last season, but might revisit.

New seasons of "Altered Carbon" next week, "Ozark" in a month and on Prime the Pacino series "Hunters" looks interesting + a medical update, test for gout showed up negative, I'm walking better after getting a cortisone shot but think I have another torn miniscus, getting old blows.
Right with you there BB - I'm at home with my foot up after having my big toe carved up in the hospital without anaesthetic. Ouchy! My resident MD Nix hasn't ruled gout out though being a teetotal vegetarian I'm not sure how I qualify for gout.
Got an MRI scan next week hopefully. My guess is a bone infection which will be bad news.
Sending thoughts and good vibes to you dude :cheers:

But if the others have a say, it will be Once Upon a Time again. ::)

Thank you and hope you feel better soon Mags :cheers: I think an issue with gout is that by the time you give up on it going away & drag yourself to the doctor the crystals may not show up in test, I've heard that from someone, when I had it in my toe the blood test was negative but by then it was feeling better, but the symptoms and nasty pain couldnt have been anything else.

I really liked Ozark, but never got through season 1......or maybe just the beginning of season 2 :facepalm:
Hunters.....watched the first few minutes and it got....interesting....very quickly :think:
Just came back from my first of many extra-corporeal shockwave treatment for my non-insertional tendonopothy :ahhh :facepalm:
....and just BTW, the previous physio told me "make sure you are close to death before agreeing to the next cortisone shot"
.....and good luck with the injury!
Post by: Blackbeard on February 24, 2020, 11:26:34 AM
That cortisone shot did nothing lol, my knee is still killing me, I've had several of these shots, 2 in my other knee and 2 in my shoulder and I never see any difference from them...my health plan stinks, I have to do physical therapy before I can get approved for an MRI and the physical therapy never works either :rofl: I had 2 surgeries in the aforemetioned knee and shoulder and still have problems with both, about ready to throw in the towel :)

We should set up an Old Guys support group to compare aches pains and injuries. Ooo me back.

That sounds horrendous Gerhard :ahhh you ok?
Well, it puts the whole story of how the Achilles tendon got its name into perspective :facepalm:
I was pleasantly surprised during this process, the orthopedic surgeon I consulted said this shockwave treatment is the first step, PRP injection second, then surgery if all else fails.
There fact that PRP treatment is available in our little 3rd world country was a shock.... :cheers:

Even if they don't make you go fat, they are no good for you.....
I was lucky with my knee, keyhole surgery and a quick fix, but I "walked" around with it for 2 years, know exactly how debilitating it can be.......good luck, try another doc maybe?

I got into F1 in my late 20's, but I completely lost interest a few years ago.
Post-Schumacher I just never connected with any of the new drivers, and I dislike Hamilton quite a bit :facepalm:
I started watching season 1 yesterday and couldn't stop, the behind the scenes action is considerably more interesting than the racing :cheers:
Started season 2 3am this morning when sleep departed :facepalm:

Once I started it I was hooked - loved every minute
If you've got amazon prime, the Expanse is great
