November 21, 20187 yr Not Amazon, but I am watching this now, which is a YouTube "Orignal series" Worth watching.
November 24, 20187 yr Season two of “Patriot” is so great.I freaking love John’s narration songs.[emoji445]This could be easy. I could go with my friends to a wine bar and shoot the shit about the weather. And girls. Respectfully.[emoji445](Everything goes wrong)[emoji445]Shit. That wasn’t easy and I think I lost two fingers back there and so did Dennis because I can hear him crying.[emoji445]It’s seriously the best show no one is watching.

Also, Amazon struck a deal with one of the networks, probably CBS, because it seems like a ton of 60s sitcoms and dramas are popping up. Good show, watching last night and it seems to have moved to hulu though
November 26, 20187 yr the Detectorists is so good. Just started season 2. I hate there are only 3 seasons.
November 27, 20187 yr I believe there is another series or at least a special in the works. There was a thread on the old site.

December 3, 20187 yr Just found out all season of Highlander: The Series are on prime. There can be only one
December 3, 20187 yr Joureny's End is one of the better WW1 movies I have seen in a while. Great cast.
December 5, 20187 yr Season 2 of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel has droppedWatching now. So excite.Rachel Brosnahan is not ugly.
December 5, 20187 yr Wife and I are on the last episode of season 1. Really entertaining. Love Tony Shalhoub.

It is an interesting concept and a bit of a mindfuck. The episodes are very short which works well for this series. Check out a couple of episodes, I thought it was pretty solid.

I just started season 1 but it's getting a little slow 5 episodes in - would you recommend I continue? Usually straight-to-streaming TV shows have a lull in the middle of each season so maybe I just need to power through to the end of season 1. I think that's one of the biggest issues with moving away from the new-episode-every-week model. Producers/Directors have less incentive to need to convince you to watch each subsequent episode. They know you're just going to sit there and watch 4 episodes at a time.
December 7, 20187 yr Just wrapped up S2 of MMM. Started a little slow, but found it's legs around Ep 3. Wish there were more than 10 eps per season.
December 7, 20187 yr Just started MMM. On S2 ep 3 now. It's very hit or miss for me. Its not bad by any stretch but I could take it or leave it. It's very Jason Garrett-y to me. One good episode one meh.
December 7, 20187 yr I think I'm only 3 episodes in but I don't like MMM season 2 as much as season 1 so far. Too many random storylines that I don't give a shit about. And then random dumb shit like her forcing her way onto a stage in Paris and speaking English to a bunch of French people is just awkward and weird and unrealistic.
December 7, 20187 yr I binged Inside Jokes the last two days and liked it. It's a six episode (hour long each) documentary series and seven comedians auditioning for the new faces showcase at the Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal. I think they did a great job telling the stories of each comedian to give you a reason to care about all of them. Recommended for any fans of stand up.
December 10, 20187 yr Almost done with S2 of MMM. I'm over it. It's gotten flat. Mrs. Maisel isnt as charming as she thinks she is. Wife loves it though.
December 10, 20187 yr We tried watching MMM last week but I couldn't get into it. The first couple of episodes were decent but then it just got too campy and repetitive. It felt like the kind of show you watch when you have to compromise with a spouse who isn't into other stuff. Given that my wife watches anything, no need to spend more time on this. We started watching The Romanoffs instead. Through 4 episodes so far, mostly enjoyed 3 of them. I'll finish it out because I like the uncertainty of not knowing what each plot will be about. Kinda like watching mini movies.

Yeah it's a solid A as far as shows to watch with the Mrs, but I doubt I would of stuck with it if it was just me alone.

He said he didn’t think he could do any more seasons after three, and still keep the quality of writing and production high. And Wikipedia and some of the fansites definitely show that it’s done unfortunately. It is one of the best shows to have come out the last several years, although I don’t know that the younger crowd would appreciate it.
December 10, 20187 yr I was talking about season 3 being the last. Not sure if it has aired in the UK yet or not.

December 10, 20187 yr My biggest gripe with MMM is that her stand-up is rarely funny and that Midge has repeatedly proves herself to be a terrible person. Other than that, as a descendant of New York jewry, I'm in it for the rompers.
December 10, 20187 yr In MMM, I'm finding the Jewish humor pretty tiresome. Fast talking with two or more subjects, while difficult to choreograph, needs to also be funny to work. I feel like I'm watching something that was funny and new in the 60s but which is kind of worn out by now. Maybe this is a reflection of my age. I've seen a lot of it. Also reflective of my age is that Rose is as interesting to me as Midge. Tony Shalhoub elevates anything he is in. I think the show would benefit if they ended the hanging romance with her separated husband. I don't care about him or that romance surviving at all. Very little chemistry. I'm watching the second season of Mr. Robot. You guys steered me there a long time ago, but I put it off. I had no idea about Elliot's difficulty with reality. They handle that well.

The middle few eps - especially the one with Diane Lane and Ron Livingston - were some of the worst tv I watched all year. Had I not felt pot-committed I would have bailed. It rebounded at the end, but overall I felt like the season was a disappointment.

There doesn't seem to be any point to watching them in order, so if episode 7 or 8 are better than 5-6, I'm all for skipping ahead.
December 10, 20187 yr A couple of them loosely tie into each other, but more in an Easter Egg way. Ep 5 is, IMO, the worst of the series. I thought it was bad just because it was bad, and then I read Sepinwall's review, which ripped it on several levels. Ep 6 was not bad so much as it was pointless. It takes place in Mexico, focuses on a non-Romanoff character, and has almost no plot to speak of. If you wanted to skip right from 4 to 7 I don't think you'd miss much. Ep 7 is probably the strongest of the series, even if it felt bloated by 10-15 minutes. Ep 8 is just weird. Not bad - more "WTF?".
December 10, 20187 yr I watched Jack Ryan. Pretty good, but I just keep seeing Jim Halpert. I recommend it.
December 10, 20187 yr RE: Detectorists Season 3 Don't know if it "aired" but you can watch it on Amazon with the Acorn subscription Season 3

That would actually be far more interesting than this mess
December 11, 20187 yr Wife and I watched S1 of MMM but really have no desire to invest more time in it. It was worth a couple of chuckles each episode but felt like over the top theater after a while.

It's everything that The Detectorists isnt. And that's not a compliment
December 11, 20187 yr I keep seeing Catastrophe mentioned. I watched S1 when it was initially released and I thought it was fine, but the two leads were so abrasive toward each other - to the point of toxic - by the finale that it felt like a relief to see the season end. That post-wedding scene where he calls her a "fucking bitch" as she storms out was as uncomfortable as anything I can remember watching the past few years.

You see a few smirks here and there - mostly in the Russia episode - but that's really it. I assumed that at some point that would work its way into a story.

December 11, 20187 yr Sounds like I need to check out The Detectorists and drop MMM and Catastrophe all together.
