jimmer Verified Member Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 Netflix Alias Grace is also a very good show.
nicksaviking Community Moderator Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 Netflix Alias Grace is also a very good show. I watched two episodes last night. It's well made but two episodes in and I still can't even tell what genre this is supposed to be; it simply is playing like a grounded period piece, but there's no way that's how it ends up. I can tell there are big twists a-coming but so far the story is so straightforward it's hard to picture how the writers will make any atmosphere change feel organic. I might have been spoiled by Mindhunter though. That was a really smart show. I love a show that lays out every character as a stereotype or trope but then goes about quickly breaking some while pinning down others.
Vanimal46 Old-Timey Member Posted November 16, 2017 Author Posted November 16, 2017 Just started watching Orphan Black on Amazon Prime per a recommendation from a friend. 3 episodes in and it's quite intriguing so far! I don't know how Sarah (the main character) was so out of the loop about all of her clones around the world.
nicksaviking Community Moderator Posted December 1, 2017 Posted December 1, 2017 Having kids is the best. Getting to watch A Charlie Brown Christmas with the family is one of the best things ever. One of the top ten greatest individual TV episodes of all time.
Craig Arko Old-Timey Member Posted December 1, 2017 Posted December 1, 2017 The Crown, season 2 next Friday.
jimmer Verified Member Posted December 5, 2017 Posted December 5, 2017 SYFY Channel has a show called Ghost Wars. It's a pretty good show. I'm enjoying it a lot.
Craig Arko Old-Timey Member Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 Am finding Jean Claude van Johnson on Prime pretty entertaining.
Mike Sixel Old-Timey Member Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 Just finished season one of broadchurch. Intense
jimmer Verified Member Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 I'm finding Knightfall to be a good show.
jimmer Verified Member Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 Just finished season one of broadchurch. IntenseOne of my favorite individual seasons of any show. Olivia Colman is such an amazing actress! Can't wait for her to take on the role of Queen in 'The Crown' during seasons 3 and 4.
nicksaviking Community Moderator Posted January 3, 2018 Posted January 3, 2018 Watched season 4 of Black Mirror. It seemed they may have ran out of new tech ideas but that didn't really matter in my view as there are plenty of hypothetical stories to tell within the tech world already established. Season 4 was a lot like season 3, a couple of continuous action episodes, one drama everyone will hope has a happy ending, and nihilism, just so much nihilism. I think the first episode was my favorite. I watched all six in two days, maybe next season I'll learn to watch one a day so I can better digest the ideas and messages.

Looking forward to watching the episodes!
jimmer Verified Member Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 The new series Bellevue is very good. More than once I got goosebumps from creepy scenes. Also enjoying the Alienist.
TheLeviathan Old-Timey Member Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 Legion returns soon. Jemaine Clement + Aubrey Plaza = entertainment.
Craig Arko Old-Timey Member Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 The Terror (on AMC) is living up to its name.
Vanimal46 Old-Timey Member Posted March 30, 2018 Author Posted March 30, 2018 Santa Clarita Diet season 2 is out on Netflix. It's a fun, easy to binge show.
Craig Arko Old-Timey Member Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 Santa Clarita Diet season 2 is out on Netflix. It's a fun, easy to binge show.And 'A Series of Unfortunate Events' season 2, as well.
TheLeviathan Old-Timey Member Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 Also....Jessica Jones Season 2.....not so hot. The Marvel Netflix run has had one decent showing since Daredevil/Jessica Jones started so strong. (Punisher)
jimmer Verified Member Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 Also....Jessica Jones Season 2.....not so hot. The Marvel Netflix run has had one decent showing since Daredevil/Jessica Jones started so strong. (Punisher)Yeah, I can't really express how uninteresting season 2 of Jessica Jones was. And for me, as much as I loved season one of Daredevil, Jessica Jones season one was on the same level. Luke Cage was a step down and Iron First was horrible (as was the Defenders, which was a huge disappointment). I liked Daredevil season 2, myself, but I never got through Punisher.
Mike Sixel Old-Timey Member Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 I've considered giving up Netflix lately. I pay for HBO and Prime. Not sure I need Netflix. I suppose I need to look more closely someday.....

Luke Cage was a step down and Iron First was horrible (as was the Defenders, which was a huge disappointment). I liked Daredevil season 2, myself, but I never got through Punisher. I thought the second half of Daredevil Season 2 (when Punisher left the forefront) became pretty dreadful. The first half of Luke Cage was pretty great too, but it also became dreadful. And we shouldn't even speak of Defenders, good lord what a mess. I don't think it's coincidence that the best parts of the Netflix run featured Fisk, Killgrave, Cottonmouth, and Punisher. You know....villains worth loving.
PseudoSABR Verified Member Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 After the initial seasons of Jessica Jones and Daredevil, the whole endeavor felt rushed; the writing, characterization just wasn't there. I couldn't make it very far into Daredevil season 2, and haven't tried the others, though I've been considering giving JJ S2 a chance.
PseudoSABR Verified Member Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 I've actually started watching Longmire, which I've enjoyed quite a bit.

I suppose I need to look more closely someday.....I switch back and forth between HBO and Netflix since they're both about the same price per month. It's about time for me to switch back over to HBO.

It's about time for me to switch back over to HBO.That's probably what I should do! Actually, I think Xfinity is giving me HBO "free", now that I think about it. But I could drop Netflix for a few months, and then go back if I want

I think you will find JJ2 largely boring or maddening.
GCTF Verified Member Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 Santa Clarita Diet season 2 is out on Netflix. It's a fun, easy to binge show.Love this show. Everything Tim Olyphant says cracks me up.
jimmer Verified Member Posted April 6, 2018 Posted April 6, 2018 Love this show. Everything Tim Olyphant says cracks me up.Olyphant is great in pretty much everything he does. Deadwood was an amazing show as was Justified.
Mike Sixel Old-Timey Member Posted April 6, 2018 Posted April 6, 2018 I know I'm not supposed to watch his shows anymore.....but Master of None is great so far, about 6 episodes in.
