I'm surprised that Netflix cancelled MST3K...
Because no one was binging the hour long episodes. :facepalm:
Binging isn't the only performance metric!
Hooked, like everyone else. ;)

All hail the hook!

SEE - 6.5/10

This was a funny one, but I have to admit the fighting technique they thought up for blind people was quite interesting.
Clearly they provisioned for a second season....and I might just watch it.  :popcorn:

Treadstone lost me a bit, but that's mostly due to a 2-week internet outage and having to catch up.  Same might be true for Supernatural.......afraid they may have finally jumped the shark  :facepalm:

His dark materials is just getting better, I don't understand why I like the series and I doubt I finished watching the movie(s?)

The Witcher - 7/10

There were times in the middle episodes where I couldn't keep awake, but in general there was some great SNVL to keep you awake  :cheers:
 :rofl:
Clearly they intend a second season.....I'd watch it  :salute:

Despite some very pretty ladies with little or no clothes, the series left me with a burning need to make some fantasy daggers!  :gimme:

The triple disconnected timelines on The Witcher is making it hard for me to really get into the series. I think anyone familiar with the mythos would probably enjoy the series a lot, but it is tough sometimes because they are definitely not into explaining...anything.

So, I expect a lot of "They explain later," or, "It all comes together at the end," or, "It is a complex plot beyond the understanding of short attention spans," kind of responses...bring it on...lol. Entertainment is in the eyes of the beholder. I don't think this is one I will be getting into.

I enjoyed it, but there was a bit in the middle episodes where I struggled to stay awake.

"His Dark Materials" really took a turn to boring snoozefest land, took me 5 tries to watch the finale and by then I was cheering for the bad guys and never want to here the name Roger or an animal with a british childs voice again  :rofl:

Trying to watch V wars but the acting and dialogue is pretty bad.

Also having a tough time getting into "Lost in Space" hard to pick back up on these shows after a long layover.

I am enjoying the last season of "Mr. Robot" tho

lots of stuff in the queue for when I'm back in Paris!

finished up The Expanse on Prime over the holidays, still my favorite Space scifi airing.

This is on Disney + and I'm probably crossing picket lines here but Gordon Ramseys new travel show is pretty good. Watched an episode about Hawaii.

Ditto!
My only disappointment was how small the "event" on the other side of the planet appeared from space. (at the end of episode 5, season 4)
I thought it would be bigger when I read the books. :D

Finished Lost In Space S2, was ok, not great, S1 was better tho. Thought they threw in too many extra characters, couldn't keep track of who they were, & seemed there were a lot of plot holes, it has some decent special effects, but the robot/kid dynamic was kinda creepy to the point where I thought they were gonna start making out  :rofl:  :facepalm: 6/10

Still trying to slog through V wars, but it's some serious low budget schlok with bad writing even more plot holes and some serious bad acting

Dracula 2019
Episode 1 - 8/10
Episode 2 - 7/10
Episode 3 - 10/10

Loosely based on Bram Stoker's novel, but I have to say  :hatsoff: to the person who imagined this spin on the old story  :salute:

Lost in Space 2 was watched from start to finish in a day also!
I have been watching some of the overseas movies and shows...a lot of reading but well worth it. Some very good storylines.  :cheers:

Witcher was pretty good as I just finished Season 2 of Jack Ryan on Prime.

The problem i have with this version of Jack Ryan is he is more hands on than he should be. Jack Ryan is an occasional field officer with more brains than brawn. Prime's Jack Ryan is a " Liam Nesson trying to find his daughter" type.
:like:    :MTO:

Thoughts?

I really enjoyed it - might well check out the books too. Loved it when all the people in the bar sang 'toss a coin to your witcher, oh valley of plenty' nice touch

I enjoyed Lost in space and the Witcher  :tu:

Ran out of things to watch so I started watching Farscape on Prime. Never really watched it when it was on tv.

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
