April 24, 20205 yr Just finished Pennyworth on Epix. It's about Alfred's life before he becomes the Wayne family butler. Stylistically it looks very cool and I enjoyed several of the performances in the show, but plot-wise it just meandered too much for me. There was a good five or six episode mini-series spread out into a ten episode arc. It went for shock value over substance at times. Not a terrible watch, but skip-able imo.

Classic rock was more my style. However, that was worth a watch. Led me down the road of Rolling Stones articles and other articles out there.
May 2, 20205 yr Interrogation on CBS All-Access is pretty good so far. It is based on a real case, and the viewer is encouraged to watch episodes 2-9 in any order on the premise that a cold case investigator would chose his own path to investigate a crime. This been telling people about this one for a while. We liked it and we liked the design of pick the order you wanna watch it.
May 2, 20205 yr About to watch episode 3 of Defending Jacob on Apple TV+. It’s pretty good so far. Plus it has Chris Evans in it, how can you not watch it?
May 9, 20205 yr Pati's Mexican Table on PBS. Wife and I caught an episode on the antenna a few nights ago, and it had a bunch of good stuff from Guanajuato on it. Her father is from Guanajuato, so we really enjoyed it. If you like cooking/traveling shows check it out. She also has a couple of cookbooks out, one of which we've ordered.
May 19, 20205 yr “The Great” on Hulu is fantastic.Done by one of the people from “The Favorite”. An insane and absurd and hilarious telling of the story of Catherine the Great.

May 20, 20205 yr I watched Dublin Murders on Starz. I don't know if it was a Starz original of if it came from BBC. Either way, I didn't like it much. Confusing as fuck for one thing. If anyone watched it and understood it, please let me know. The doppelganger thing makes no sense to me.

I really wanted to like it because I dig the 2 main actors, but it was all over the place and not terribly interesting.
May 22, 20205 yr Nope. I really wanted to like it because I dig the 2 main actors, but it was all over the place and not terribly interesting.Did the doppelgänger thing make any sense to you? How is that possible without falling into some sci-fi/fantasy dimension?

It's, um... great. Hoult is fantastic in it and like Zoe Kravitz in High Fidelity, I didn't know Elle Fanning had this in her. She is very good as well. You have to ignore some completely inane historical inaccuracies that I don't think were completely necessary (Peter's parentage, for one). But that's not the important part. The anachronisms are great, including a Chernobyl reference that made me chuckle.

May 28, 20205 yr What We Do in the Shadows on Hulu just watch it. lot of good FX shit on Hulu like Fargo and Legion
May 28, 20205 yr Central Park starts tomorrow on Apple TV + Everything about it screams a more musical version of Bob's Burgers. (No surprise, Bouchard is the creator and EP) Kristen Bell Tituss Burgess Daveed Diggs Josh Gad Kathryn Hahn Leslie Odom Jr. Stanley Tucci That's quite a cast for animation. RT at 100% / 7.8 Metacritic 79/100
May 28, 20205 yr Another thumbs up from me for "The Great" Such a wonderful look at human interaction.
May 30, 20205 yr If any of y’all are Bob’s Burger fan or fans of musicals.... Central Park is excellent. Edited May 30, 20205 yr by YChang

May 31, 20205 yr It appears this has veered off into series on Hulu. I just discovered a free to the end user service called Kanopy. It’s not available to everyone, but it is to many public library users and students and faculty (or anyone with the right *.edu email address) at most larger universities.Clark Howard’s site has a better description than I could provide:https://clark.com/streaming-tv/kanopy-review-library-card-free-streaming/#ContentSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
October 4, 20205 yr There is a 45 minute documentary on Hulu about how orcas like to attack great white sharks and take their livers, leaving their carcasses to wash up on shore. It’s awesome.

October 25, 20205 yr Just checking in to say that Battlestar Galactica is on the Peacock app for free with adds. Never watched it before, but I've almost finished the miniseries and the first two seasons in the past couple of weeks. I seriously think that this is not just the best scifi series ever made, but the possibly the best series ever made, period.
October 25, 20205 yr On the Rocks (Rashida Jones, Bill Murray dir by Sophia Coppola) was entertaining and an easy 90 minute watch. Definitely some Lost in Translation vibes including at least one obvious callback. But mostly just a chance to see Murray in a tailor-made role for himself, and Rashida for the most part is an excellent counterpart. Apple TV+

Watched American Utopia last evening and give it two thumbs up. From the first viewing of Stop Making Sense, I have hoped to see him and his friends again on stage and American Utopia did not disappoint. Enjoyed some of the early Talking Heads numbers but especially appreciated the versatility and diversity of the band.

Apple TV+Oof, this movie sucked to me... my wife liked it but it was a bore broken up by moments of Bill Murray getting to do his subtle humor style.I told my wife this was Coppola slapping something together around Bill and Rashida. It lacked so much of lost in translation and was wayyy to on the nose with the storm brewing and raging fire on the beach scene...My wife liked the movie a lot though.
November 27, 20205 yr Author Showtime currently has a deal for their streaming only subscription...a lifetime price guarantee of $8.99/mo or $99/year. Just signed up.
November 27, 20205 yr Anyone watching A Teacher on Hulu? It is a coming of age story about a young man who makes his dreams come true, by nailing his high school English teacher. A surface of the sun hot Kate Mara. Very inspirational and uplifting. I'm not ashamed to admit it got a little dusty in here for me.
December 7, 20205 yr Letterkenny season 7 is now on HuluI just binged all 7 seasons. I thought it was hilarious. Pitter Patter.

December 10, 20205 yr Gangs of London. It's on AMC+, I think. Or available for download. Gareth Evans, who was involved in 'The Raid' movies was involved. And it shows. Plenty of action.
December 22, 20205 yr Wolf Walkers on Apple TV is wonderful, just like all the Cartoon Saloon films. If you don’t know what I’m talking about you owe it to yourself to check into them. Really great family animated films on par with the Studio Ghibli stuff, but Irish.
March 9, 20214 yr Britbox comments seeping into Amazon Prime thread. If you are even a casual fan of Shakespeare and like British comedy, Upstart Crow is excellent. Many references to the Bard's better known works, plus mocking our current societal conditions, some subtle, often not. Edited March 9, 20214 yr by abuelo gringo
March 9, 20214 yr Boss Level on hulu is a decent action flick, kept me entertained. Kind of a groundhog day meets deadpool
April 5, 20214 yr Mark Felton Productions on YouTube. If you like World War II and Cold War stuff. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfCKvREB11-fxyotS1ONgww
April 5, 20214 yr Any of y'all subscribe to CuriosityStream? The founder of the company is the guy who put Discovery Channel on the map. If you are a fan of science/nature/space/history documentaries AND you want access to good family-friendly documentaries that kids will also like, check it out. it's available on Amazon Prime and Roku for a free trial and I think it's like $5 a month for HD streaming.
May 18, 20214 yr Ms Fisher's Modern Murder Mysteries. Carryover from the original series. Fun show to watch with a female.Main character is nice to look at.Also recommend Agatha Raisin.Both on Acorn TV.
May 19, 20214 yr Have had Apple TV free for a few months and loved the Morning Show and Ted Lasso. Now that we’ve finished binging those, I haven’t been able to find anything at all that looks interesting for shows. We aren’t animation fans.
