They remade the Stand?
Yeah. Good casting but they've decided to make it feel more modern by doing time jumps so you start at the end and then learn the backstory in flashbacks and it just ROBS everyone of their journey. I mean epsiode one they were in Colorado.Quote:

It's pretty fun
So I started House of Cards. I'm 6 episodes into the 1st season and I love it. It's wonderful. The pacing, acting and backdrop are all fantastic.Quote:

Great cast, great plot, definitely ready for season 2.
Edit: So after I fucking posted this I looked up real quick to see when Season 2 was going to drop and it was fucking cancelled!!!! FUCK YOU!! :J_P$F(PJ$PIFJP OLJPO$IJF66666666 666 666
Yeah I never finished it and now probably never will if there is no season 2.Quote:

Love that show.Quote:

That's just great television
Pigs in Space, by itself, is worth the price of admission
American Pie is still terrible.
The Movie? GTFO. American Pie and American Pie 2 are 90's classics. There's nothing wrong with a little high school/college humor.
If those bad movies are considered "'90s classics", then I hesistate to check out the rest of the '90s library.
Maybe this belongs in the Hot Takes thread but American Pie 2 > American Pie.
Watching Wayne atm. It's so incredibly violent.
I am enjoying though. Bringing back memories of Boston for sure haha
Is one streaming service what everyone is doing now?Quote:

Haha that entire scene is hilarious. Stifler, in AP2, is by far my favorite part. Every line he has is so funny.Quote:

Just finished my rewatch of “Rescue Me”.
About halfway through season five I realized how terrible the show actually is; Tommy Gavin was a piece of shit and his family drama irritated me. The final two and a half seasons was a fucking chore, I am so glad to be done with it.
Up next, “Sons of Anarchy”. Do I have to finish “Sons” before I hit up “Mayans MC”?
Be prepared to feel how terrible Sons is by about season 5 also, the last 2 seasons suck. Great show up until there though.Quote:

Do it however you can afford. Having all the services is a hefty chunk of coin. Add to that the fact that I'm not going to watch a million things that are on them (another reason we're dropping Prime is there's nothing of interest at this point) and it makes sense to me to just keep it minimal/as needed.Quote:

Netflix and Hulu do their jobs well enough, but I also feel like I could find most, if not all, of their library elsewhere for a lower price.
We do Hulu Live to replace our cable. Saved us over $100 a month.
I'm a big fan of films about games. I prefer watching some documentary films about situations in sports that already happened or would happen. But I highly recommend you to watch Casino Royale (James Bond series) and Rounders. Sometimes I can't believe that such old films could be so exciting.
Yesterday finished watching "Walking Dead". And what can I say? First 3 seasons were so amazing and I was pretty surprised(I'm not a fan of ser's). But the further you watch the worse impression you get from watching. It could be ended at 3d season and it would be a perfect, maybe 4 seasons but not more. My point is 6/10.
Been watching since the start and I totally agree. The show lost the thread more and more over the years. Well that's not totally fair. The last season or so was pretty good and back to basics. But the first 3 seasons were riveting television.Quote:

I think we stopped around season 3. It just was the same old thing.Quote:

Shit man. Homie looks like he has been smoking crack.
I'm just old enough to not give any fucks about the ducks.
I see a bunch of successful 80's and 90's movies are going to capitalize off the success of Cobra Kai and create TV shows... cool.
They're bringing back Punky fucking Brewster.
Why?
Everything is being remade.:dead:
Riverdale is just so crazy.:lol:
We nixed Prime and just signed up for Disney Plus. :heart:
I can never get rid of prime. I order 4000 amazon packages a year and the shipping would kill me.
Yeah same here. With the kids we’re constantly ordering from Amazon as much as I hate it.
Plus they have a great selection of kids shows.
Why do you need 11 packages a day, every day?
Because.

They released the actors from their contracts but it's not dead yet.
It's dead, Fro. :(
Dave worked out a deal with Viacom and Chapelles Show is coming back to Netflix today!
Just got done watching Alice in Borderland on Netflix.
Was really good actually, Japanese Battle Royal type show but with a bit of mystery in terms of what is going on etc.
Lupin was great too. Really happy to see it's got a second series.
It was terrible. Shame because I thought that the first film was such a pleasing surprise.Quote:

Dude that played Harold was amazing though.
I never really listened to Lil Dickey before but damn his show called "Dave" is really good. I was surprised at how funny it was. It's only 1 season on Hulu right now. I believe season 2 comes out this year
Yeah, I thought that it was great too.
I’ve been catching up on Euphoria recently and it is electric.
Dave is so good all of the rappers are lining up to be in season 2.
Andrew Santino is great in it too. I love his podcast, Whiskey Ginger.
Dave is great.
I finished Mindhunter. Really good. I wish it was coming back because I think it's easily a top 3 or 4 drama of the last few years. Really a shame, especially with all the teases of things to come in future seasons which now could go to waste. They could bring it back eventually, fingers crossed. Regarding the ending, I was a little disappointed that they didn't go further in terms of solving the crime, but then I read up on the Atlanta Child Murders and learned that the outcome on the show was the same as the real-life outcome, so fair enough.
I am real upset about this. Such a great one!Quote:

Really going to need a second season just to deal with the fallout. Holy shit, season one was insane.Quote:

I'll watch it. Hopefully Joshua Jackson shows up.
https://youtu.be/civBQ7t6H9E
I enjoyed season 1. I'll definitely give season 2 a shot.
Frasier reboot without Nyles? Boooo.
I would have just left it at "Frasier reboot? Boooo."
Frasier was an okay supporting character but I always thought he was better for others to play off. I give Grammer credit for playing a character for 20 years and making as much money as he possibly could about it.Quote:

Unsure about this one but I do have Hulu so I'll at least watch the first episode.
Boss Level on Hulu is fantastic. Cheesy action Groundhog Day-esque story told through the lens of playing a video game and progressing a bit further each time after you die. Frank Grillo is hilarious and is awesome in the fight scenes. It’s nothing groundbreaking or anything like that but it’s definitely worth the watch.
One of the absolute funniest parts was a throwaway joke about banging your shin on something. Slayed me.
I've started Buffy again on Star. :cool:
Loved it back in the day, but never watched season 7. I've started at the beginning though and love it.
I don't think it got much love after season 3, but I've reached season 6 of Homeland. I actually quite enjoyed season 5. I mean, nothing comes close to the first season, but I still enjoy it.
Tempted to go back to The X-Files and Scrubs too. Two more shows I really liked, but deffo only got 2 or 3 seasons in to each of them.
Modern Family also. I'm sure season 5 was where we left it and I'm fairly sure we didn't even finish that season.
Too much TV, kids. Not enough time.
I just began Scrubs, which I never watched before. I enjoyed Modern Family, but quit after a few seasons too. I sometimes just do not stick with things.
Started “Justified” last night, it is really good.
Did “Rescue Me” over the end of last year, another series from FX, which unfortunately played ads for the same TV shows every single episode. “Justified” looks like it will be doing the exact same thing...
Ads? Ad based hulu? There's your problem. Justified is great though.Quote:

As of March 26, 2021, Disney Plus will be priced in the U.S. at $7.99 per month, up a dollar from the current $6.99, or $79.99 per year, compared with $69.99 for the annual plan previously. It’s the first time the company is increasing rates for U.S. customers since Disney Plus debuted in November 2019.
I think ive payed for 2 months of Disney+ so far. Got a year free with Verizon unlimited when it first started and another year when I got my new phone. This time it came with Hulu and espn.Quote:

We got rid of Netflix, but Disney just added Criminal Minds so I am good.
Really enjoyed The Flight Attendant which is on sky over here and hbo max there I think.
Kaley Cuoco showing the haters.
@Melly have you seen season two of RuPaul UK? It just ended last week. I think RuPaul USA's current season has 3 or 4 more weeks.
Is anyone watching the TCM movies available through HBO Max? There's so much great shit available that I'm glad I'm getting to watch.
I had never seen "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?" and watched it the other night. What a crazy ass movie that was. Highly recommended.
I am guessing it is on Crave, we'd have to get it again to watch I am assuming both the USA and UK one :(Quote:

The Circle comes back next month. I fucking love the circle.
i decided against better judgement and watched the pilot to might ducks: game changers..
was just alright
Almost done with season 3 of Dark. Wow what a show. It has elements of Lost, Stranger Things without the comedy, and The Leftovers. It gets a little confusing with the time travel and how things connect. Definitely worth a watch.
Everyone stop what you're doing and go watch Undone on Amazon Prime. Eight episodes of near perfection from Raphael Bob-Waksberg and Kate Purdy (Bojack Horseman) and starring Bob Odenkirk (Better Call Saul) among others, it is absolutely fantastic. I watched the whole thing yesterday, couldn't put it down.
Season 2 coming at some point.
Ok, but when my boss asks my why I haven't done any work today, I'll point him in your direction.
I am currently watching Free Solo on Disney. Hooolyyyyyyy shit!
Almost done with Breaking Bad. My top three is no longer
Sopranos
The Wire
The Shield
Now its
Sopranos
The Wire
Breaking Bad
Sorry Shield.
Personally I think as a whole The Shield is better than The Wire. I really didn't enjoy Season 5 of The Wire.Quote:

I still love those two. I forgot how hardcore the Hawk's enforcer was after taking our Adam Banks.
Kid 1: "What did you do"
Enforcer (looking at Banks with dead eyes): "My job"
That kid was colder than Steve Austin or Jake Roberts.
Also, anybody checking out the Irregulars? Kinda digging it through Episode 2.
Just finished season two last night, it’s a real good show; Walton fucking Goggins is the MVP.Quote:

Walton Goggins is so good that when I watch The Unicorn he actually makes me forget that the show I'm watching should be terrible with it's beaten to death plot and wackity-schmackity-dooo humor.
