Toss in Witcher (which is a flagship franchise for them) and a few others, and yeah, unfortunately really big budget shows are going to be scrutinized.

August 27, 20205 yr For those of you who are enjoying Love on the Spectrum, Michael is very close to the main character in Atypical. That is a great series. I think it's great how his parents can laugh at some of his statements and he doesn't take offense. Just everything about them is pure and honest, straightforward.
August 29, 20205 yr "Teenage Bounty Hunters" is legitimately good. As noted above ridiculous premise that shouldn't work, but it does.

August 29, 20205 yr Class Action Park was a pretty good doc about Action Park, a dangerous Jersey water park that was killing guests way before Schlitterbahn. Aw fuck. It’s on HBO Max.
August 29, 20205 yr We're 5 in on season 2. Really enjoying it. Saw the trailer for this the other night. I'm both fascinated by it and not sure I need more depressing shit in my life.
August 31, 20205 yr Turned off Hoops after the first 5 minutes. The raunch seemed over the top and not funny. I loved Big Mouth and Paradise PD so I don't mind vulgarity in my cartoons, but this one turned me off really fast. Maybe i'll give it another try.
August 31, 20205 yr Teenage bounty hunters is actually pretty fucking hilarious. Props to the writers and actors executing it.
September 1, 20205 yr So I enjoy the crime docs etc....but holy fuck this I Am a Killer: Released is probably one of the first ones that is making my skin crawl....and I have watched a whole bunch of crazy shit before. First 10 mins of episode 2 were just creepy as fuck to watch to me.
September 1, 20205 yr Class Action Park was a pretty good doc about Action Park, a dangerous Jersey water park that was killing guests way before Schlitterbahn. Aw fuck. It’s on HBO Max. I went there a couple of times as a kid in the early 80’sIt was as terrifying as the doc makes it out to be. But damn it was fun!
September 1, 20205 yr The "Just Watch" app shows that season 6 streams on fubo (whatever that is) and DirecTV. Can buy season 6 on Apple TV, Amazon Prime, Fandango and Vudu.So it’s free on Directv?
September 1, 20205 yr BlazeVery well done. It’s like a collection of Blaze stories, which are endless, tied together to tell his story. Some very emotional parts. 10/10
September 1, 20205 yr Anyone else watching/watched Occupied? Norwegian series about a country slowly becoming occupied by another one? Very little in English so be prepared to read subtitles. I recommend it. I'm about 1/3 thru the entire series.

September 1, 20205 yr Benioff + Weiss + Rian Johnson...what could go wrong? Currently reading the second book in the Three Body Problem series, so I'm looking forward to this regardless.
September 1, 20205 yr Quote It does note that Weiss and Benioff will serve as writers, so they’re expected to be more involved here than they are on their other previously announced Netflix series The Chair, on which they’re simply serving as executive producers. If they are showrunning The Three-Body Problem, then this is their first full-time TV series since wrapping Game of Thrones. They’re writing it? That’s not good.

For whatever reason the mega born-again Christian types just seem to never take accountability for what they’ve done, always shifting blame to someone else. The cholo types usually come across as very genuine and honest. This Sigler guy is a snake for sure. Probably hooked up with Zelner and got mad about it or something.

At least there is published source material to base it on, like the first 5 seasons of GoT which they also wrote the majority of. Hopefully the author is involved in a meaningful way.

September 2, 20205 yr Remember it very clearly - all the kids in our school were watching it on TV in the classrooms.
September 2, 20205 yr Remember it very clearly - all the kids in our school were watching it on TV in the classrooms. Yep, was in 2nd grade... that’s about all I can remember from that time in school. I remember not fully grasping that it was really happening but I remember seeing my teacher, a former Air Force pilot and burly dude, crying and that was freaky as a child
September 3, 20205 yr I’m a little young to be in the Twilight Zone demographic, but always enjoyed watching the marathons and reruns growing up. Thought I had seen most of them at least twice, and “the classics” much more, but holy shit there are 156 episodes with some at 51 minutes! Already through S1 and there were a couple that were new to me and several more I didn’t remember the “hook” or resolution. This is going to be a longer endeavor than I anticipated.

September 3, 20205 yr Gave Schitts Creek another try. Binged the whole first season in 2 days. Appreciate all the recs to get me to retry it. No idea why I didn't enjoy it before but I was an even bigger shithead a couple years ago so that's probably it
September 3, 20205 yr Interesting. I tried it the other day. Didn’t get into it. My daughter says I need to try again.
September 4, 20205 yr Chefs Table BBQ has dropped. The 1st episode featured Snow’s BBQ and it’s legendary pit master, Tootsie. If you’ve never seen Chefs Table, it is a beautifully filmed and produced food documentary series that you should definitely check out.

I posted this in the BBQ thread, but the second episode is the most pretentious hipster douchebag I’ve ever seen cook a steak. He thinks he invented cooking over wood

Was scrolling Netflix, saw it and remembered someone here recommending so I watched it. Already blew through the season. Edited September 4, 20205 yr by BradInATX
September 4, 20205 yr Four episodes in on Teenage Bounty Hunters and I'm really enjoying it. They do a good job of poking fun at Southern culture and evangelical culture without getting overly preachy. It's actually really good social commentary while still maintaining a bit of respect for the people the commentary is about. It's also really well written and fun to watch.
September 4, 20205 yr Delhi Crime. Haven’t seen anything here about it, but this is a fantastic series. Based on the actual Gang rape on a bus that happened a few years ago it is as powerful as TV gets. 8.5 on IMBD and 93% on RT. You will thank me later.
September 4, 20205 yr Away dropped today. Netflix’s next big-budget space series. Three-year mission to Mars. Not a lot of buzz, so I’m wary.
September 5, 20205 yr I'm Thinking of Ending Things - Jesse Plemons and Jessie Buckley, directed by Charlie Kaufman. I didn't realize it was the same guy as Eternal Sunshine until I looked it up just now, but definitely picked up on that vibe. This is a weird fucking movie. I think it might be good. Definitely weird. Lot of surreal elements. New couple driving to have dinner with the guy's parents at their farm, she's thinking of breaking things off. Lots of tension.

This is the kind of show that premiers on NBC and is cancelled after 1.5 seasons. Huge budget, looks pretty, big name, but rated E for everyone and goes through every cliche in the book.
September 5, 20205 yr Started Mindhunter tonight and am 2 episodes into season 1. I realize this is several years old. Enjoying it so far. I like the buildup and the adversity of dealing with their old school boss. Psycho Killer playing at the end of E2 as they move to the basement was great music placement.
