What did you watch on Netflix/Hulu/other streaming sites?

[homoe]

I don't think I’ve seen that one. I saw the episode “Time Enough at Last” where Meredith suddenly finds himself alone in the world and I like that one a lot.

One of my favorites is “The Invaders” with Agnes Moorehead where she’s pretty much acting alone, says few (if any) words, and has some unexpected visitors. So good.

Rod Serling was something else.

The Real Martian was the cook and you knew because he lifted his hat and exposed a third eye.........:blink:

I have NOT watched this yet but I found it interesting that Kodak which stopped making Kodachrome film nearly a decade ago is about to make an unusual comeback thanks to this movie. ...

Am presently watching and enjoying National Geographic's tv biopic series - Genius: Picasso, available on Amazon's streaming site.

I hope that it doesn't discourage me as much as National Geographic's "Genius: Einstein", which I had to stop watching because of the callous way he dumped women, and left a trail of broken hearts.

While waiting for mom I watched Revolutionary Road. That's two hours I'll never get back.

[*Anya*]

It is absolutely stellar this season.

The first season was terrific but the first 3 episodes this season have made me gasp a couple of times.

It is a vision of America that the ultra-right wing would see as a good thing.

But not very good at all for women.

New episodes each Wednesday on Hulu.

I just saw the first episode of season two of The Handmaid's Tale, and I'm still in. I continue to be mortified, but that is how horror works, right?

[Martina]

I am rewatching Justified. In season 1.

[charley]

This is a post-apocalyptic Sci-Fi thriller, a 2018 Netflix release, in Danish with English audio and English subs.

"The world as we know it has ended. Six years after a brutal virus carried by the rain wiped out almost all humans in Scandinavia, two Danish siblings emerge from the safety of their bunker to find all remnants of civilization gone. Soon they join a group of young survivors and together set out on a danger-filled quest through abandoned Scandinavia, searching for any sign of life. Set free from their collective past and societal rules the group has the freedom to be who they want to be. In their struggle for survival, they discover that even in a post-apocalyptic world there's still love, jealousy, coming of age, and many of the problems they thought they'd left behind with the disappearance of the world they once knew."

I have watched the first episode and the feel of it reminds me of the classic cult post-apocalyptic BBC cult classic "The Last Train [aka Cruel Earth]", done in 1999. So, there is more emphasis on character development.

In that sense, it isn't a Hollywood blockbuster, but I am into the second episode and it gets better and there is more action now; I'm enjoying it. :thumbsup:

I finished watching the episodes yesterday. I thought it was pretty good. A couple of times I thought it defied belief but overall: pretty good.

There must be a season 2 because of the way it ended. It is a Swedish series.

With Netflix, it takes so long for them to stream an additional season of anything, I have to watch the recap to remind myself what each series was about.

I think it has been a year since they streamed season 1 but season 2 of the series 3% is finally up. It is another dystopian series and it is pretty good too- at least the first season was.

I loved the Italian series Gomorrah. It is based on the acclaimed movie of the same name.

Season 3 is streaming in the U.K. now, as of March (Sky TV?) and the first 2 were on Sundance originally.

Netflix has seasons 1 and 2. Three is nowhere to be found in the US yet.

It is subtitled in English. Great series if you like realistic crime series.

[*Anya*]

Terrific movie.

Really heartfelt, meaningful and sweet.

I just finished watching the 1st episode of "Patrick Melrose", a Showtime release, wow!! I have no experience of such abuse as the author of this biopic limited series had [Edward St Aubyn], nor of the ensuing drug abuse, what an eye opener!

(not for the faint of heart, 4 more episodes to air)

"In a tour de force role, Benedict Cumberbatch plays the titular character who struggles to overcome the damage inflicted by a horribly abusive father and the mother who tacitly condoned his behavior. Academy Award nominee Jennifer Jason Leigh (The Hateful Eight) and Screen Actors Guild® winner Hugo Weaving (The Matrix trilogy) also star as the parents of Patrick Melrose. Rounding out this accomplished cast are Anna Madeley (The Crown), Blythe Danner (Meet the Fockers), Allison Williams (Girls), Pip Torrens (The Crown), Jessica Raine (Call the Midwife), Prasanna Puwanarajah (Doctor Foster), Holliday Grainger (Bonnie & Clyde), Indira Varma (Game of Thrones) and Celia Imrie (Bridget Jones's Baby). Each episode, devoted to one of the five novels, is written for television by BAFTA Award® nominee David Nicholls (Far from the Madding Crowd, One Day) and directed by celebrated film director Edward Berger (Deutchland 83, Jack). A co-production between SHOWTIME and Sky Atlantic, this gripping and humorous saga encompasses the South of France in the 1960s, New York in the 1980s and Britain in the early 2000s."

I can't watch it. I read one of the books, and I knew I couldn't. Just that scene in the trailer where the dad opens the door, then the little boy walks in . . . No. Not going to do it. I kind of wish I could. I like the actor. The fact that, although it's fiction, it's based on real events . . . It's just too disturbing.

No, not about the monster.
"The beautiful, haunting shores of Scotland's most iconic loch is the stunning backdrop for the new six-part crime drama. In a community nourished and sustained by myth and bordered by untamed nature, the search for a serial killer becomes a matter of life and death for local detective Annie Redford (Laura Fraser, Breaking Bad)."

I am watching a documentary called One Of Us about Hasidic Jews and how they treat people who leave, how they have their own schools, etc and rely on government welfare.

[charley]

I have just finished watching episode 1 of the new TV Series "Strange Angel" (being shown on CBS All Access), and I have no idea how to describe it - weird, wacky, it's a biopic series about John Whiteside "Jack" Parsons, the rocket scientist, one of the principal founders of the Jet Propulsion Lab at Caltech.
It's so weird, that IMDb has listed it as Sci-fi (lol).
Perhaps a few quotes I found online various sites will help:
“The story follows the life of Jack Parsons, a mysterious and brilliant man in 1940s Los Angeles, who by day helps birth the entirely unknown discipline of American rocketry, and by night is a performer of sex magick rituals and a disciple to occultist Aleister Crowley.”
Now if anyone has heard of Crowley, he was famous for saying:
"Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law."
Ya know - black magic, the dark side, evil...

yIQWUhMb_2M

spoiler alert - as follows:
Oh, and Parsons also knew L. Ron Hubbard - ya know, the guy who invented Scientology, or should I say, Parsons knew Hubbard cause after Parson's going with his ex's sister, this sister later dumped Parsons for Hubbard (both of whom defrauded Parsons of his life's savings)!!!!
Like this is a real story, jeez, can't wait to see the other episodes (chuckling).

MAJOR TRIGGER WARNING!!! TRIGGER WARNING!!!

Z9CO0ckrwhM

Well, I watched the first episode of the tv mini-series, “Sharp Objects” (HBO), and I must say, I was completely entranced and glued to the screen. The actress, Amy Adams, who plays the reporter, Camille Preaker, “a troubled reporter who returns to her hometown to cover the murders of two young girls and confront her own formidable childhood demons”(1), is awesome. This is an atmosphere piece, known as a slow burner thriller, in the almost Faulkneresque way that only the south of the USA can tell a good story. It is beautifully filmed. It is based on a book by Gillian Flynn, who also wrote the famous “Gone Girl” (was #1 on New York Times best sellers list!) which was also adapted into a film. Curious that Amy Adams physically resembles the author Gillian Flynn!

https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/851589332834033664/XIrEe2sS_400x400.jpg

So, in a way, it is told entirely from a woman’s perspective, and as such, is entirely a feminist film - which really gets you into the mind and heart of a woman, and other women (and how these women shaped each other!!!) - “With its theme of female complicity—the damage women do to each other—Sharp Objects could hardly feel more timely.”(1).

Camille drinks heavily, smokes, etc. and is utterly so not getting her act together. There are all these flashbacks, memories of things she ran away from, and are now resurfacing in spades as she goes back to a small town called Wind Gap where she hailed from (complete with a really dysfunctional family, especially the mother!) to cover the story of a murder of a girl and starting off to search for another missing girl (remember, this is just the first episode). So, it is a murder mystery crime psychological drama - sort of! Just right up my alley.
(P.S. I have the mobi of “Sharp Objects”, so I know how it ends - grinz.)

(1) There is an interesting article in Vanity Fair about Gillian Flynn, about how she “Isn’t Going to Write the Kind of Women You Want":

https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2018/06/gillian-flynn-isnt-going-to-write-the-kind-of-women-you-want

Wherein Gillian says, “It’s about what happens to women when they have to swallow down their stories—and what happens to that rage. And it feels like a cautionary tale at this moment when women are finally telling their stories, but we still have a president who’s a pussy-grabber. Despite a lot of brave, strong women, it’s still a strong current in America.”
(my emphasis)

What I really like about this TV series, is that it clearly and realistically shows all of the tragic hypocrisy that many women make of their lives, all the while by pretending to be perfect - having perfectly meaningless verbal exchanges that are so superficial as to make you wanna throw up and gag. God knows how if one tries to speak truth to power to those women, how they try and censor you or even call you a bully, when that it is the last thing you are, but really it is they who are the bullies - because they will do and say any and everything to silence you. (I trust you understand that I can’t stand bullies and spot them really quick - the bully is the one who is always suggesting how you “should” be - perfect - and they always try to control ya, yikes - and no one can live like that, without getting physically sick. I never trust people who come across as having perfect relations with all those family people; yeah right - lala land!) I really get Gillian Flynn, as I too come from a not-so-perfect childhood; and, as soon as I could, I took off, and I have no regrets about that, none at all.

I don't think it was the Vanity Fair article but I read somewhere in an interview with Flynn that nobody wanted to publish Sharp Objects UNTIL after Gone Girl turned out to be such a good seller! She was told countless times by publishers that nobody was ready to read about "bad women" or something to that effect. This airs on HBO btw

This is on my backlog list of things to watch (seasons 1 and 2). As a Canadian, of course, saw the original series many many years ago. You are so right, the original was truly exceptional. Never had visited PEI though, oh well... glad you mentioned it... :)

Netflix season 2 trailer:

There is this new "comedy" show made by some guy called "Sacha Baron Cohen" who I had never really seen before on air, although I had seen his name bandied about. It's called "Who Is America?" and airs on Showtime. I was able to watch about the 1st 7 minutes of the 28 minute show, when I just couldn't take it anymore. I can't think of a word worse than disgust and, in some sense, the show exemplifies a kind of bizarre "perversity of humour" for me. It is very rare that I would have to stop watching a show (unless it was so boring as to be inane), as there are very few things that I might have a reaction to, but this show wins hands down. Baron himself plays characters who are the very worst of the worst of stereotypes, all the while having selected the most stereotypical of interviewees. I didn't find it funny, actually finding it to be inane and crass! And I don't know what on earth I could say apart from that. I don't even feel like posting a YouTube trailer for it.

[Canela]

I finished my Celia series last night. It was a cheesy but lovely story. It was bittersweet for me. Then I Wikipedia'd her for some reason and found that today is the 15th anniversary of her death. I remember seeing her in Chicago one year with Tito Puente at the jazz festival there

RIP Celia Cruz, you are missed and remembered fondly.

I saw the first episode and loved it. Yes, it's inane and crass, and it's spot on.

I'm still snickering at the NRA representative who seriously agreed with Sasha Cohen that two-year olds should not get guns because of the "terrible twos."

Cohen showed these idiots for who they truly are and I'm looking forward to the next episode.

Different strokes and all that jazz ...

I did the same thing not too long ago and had the same reaction. I got through three or four episodes and that was all I could handle. It was extremely well acted and written but in today's political climate, it's all just too real. I remember seeing the original so long ago and it seeming very surreal and science fiction like, but not so much this time around.


The last excellent show I watched, besides the new season of OITNB was Killing Eve. Wow, that was the best thing I've seen in a very long time. I highly recommend it.

[ProfPacker]

I felt the same way about The Handmaid's Tale. Killing Eve was amazing. Sandra Oh deserves the award. Top of the Lake both seasons. I liked the
Split. There are many other British and Australian show. I wish I hadn't seen Rake it's either netflix or amazon. great. The Split was on Sundance. Also on Sundance is a fantastic show written and performed by deaf actors, it has a gay theme as well. Really excellent. It's late, all I can think of now.

[Lyte]

I made the very serious mistake of binging the first season Saturday! I kept expecting it to turn around! I got really WTF?!? :blink: I needed an emotional palette cleanser so I watched the entire 15th season of Family Guy! :p

Honestly? I would not recommend it to anyone in the community at the present time. It's a real downer!

I'll look into this Killing Eve you speak of. It better not bum me out! :p

I can't help but love The Handmaid's Tale despite how scary it is. It has its moments of triumph though!

Started the new season of OITNB but I watch that with Jedi and she's not as much of a binger as I am.

I recently finished watching this series. My feelings certainly ran the spectrum. I recognized some parallels to our own political climate. It is very troublesome. Women as property? Gays openly persecuted? A very definable caste system? The rise of fanatical evangelicals? It’s way too similar. It could happen. It’s not that implausible, do you think? I could only watch one or two episodes at a time. Some scenes made me physically ill. I believe it’s one of Catherine Moss’ shining performances. At some point I will watch it again to discover a deeper level of symbolism. This is not the series to binge watch, either. After 3 or 4 episodes I started watching the rest during the daylight as I found taking a walk to our neighborhood park helped me shake off my feelings. Some of the scenes will always haunt me.

Maybe I will try again one day.

I started a trial of HBO now. I told my honey he MUST see Big Little Lies...

Meanwhile, I’m watching Olive Kittredge. Loving it thus far.

[Medusa]

I can't bring myself to start the second season "The Handmaid's Tale" or "Orange is the New Black".

Instead? I will be binge-watching the remaining second season of "Anne with an 'E'" (because I need some sweet stuff in my head right now!)

[Kätzchen]

I am still house and pet sitting today; but while at my sister-in-law's house I didn't find much to watch on Cable TV. The other day I binge watched Law & Order SUV series tee-vee shows, so I dunno. I might go to an video store or an store that sells video collections, just to see if I can find an Law & Order series set to buy. That way I can binge watch episodes on my notebook, when I want to.


But for sure, when Big Little Lies airs its second season (right after the new year begins???), I know my sister-in-law will DVR the new season, so I can watch it next time I go over to help out the family.

HANDMAID TALE... bit of a spoiler to follow...

Medusa … I hear ya! The first season is depressing as hell. I pushed through and got to the second season. It's in the first or second episode of the second season that she finally escapes.

Time of Death. It’s a 6 part documentary which chronicles the last months, weeks and days of terminally ill people. They really do a good job of exploring family dynamics and how individual death can be.

My sister-in-law and I watched this last night, and it was sooooo good.
Kelsey Grammer (of Fraiser fame) stars as Rachel's (Kristen Bell) dad.

From the trailer: When a workaholic young executive (Kristen Bell), is left at the altar, she ends up on her Caribbean honeymoon cruise with the last person she ever expected: her estranged and equally workaholic father (Kelsey Grammer). The two depart as strangers, but over the course of a few adventures, a couple of umbrella-clad cocktails and a whole lot of soul-searching, they return with a renewed appreciation for family and life. Like Father premiered August 3, only on Netflix, but is currently airing on Netflix during the month of December.

Watching TRAVELERS on Flix. It's on it's third season and apparently it's one of Flix's top three SciFi series. I dig it, in part, because it has Eric McCormack. I'm glad to see him in something that's doing well... besides Will 'n' Grace. I liked him in PRECEPTION but that one didn't stick past three seasons.

I just watched the first four episodes of Castle Rock and am finding it intriguing indeed...

I can't help but love The Handmaid's Tale despite how scary it is. It has its moments of triumph though!

Started the new season of OITNB but I watch that with Jedi and she's not as much of a binger as I am.

I agree regarding handmaids tale,I think its hard because it is based in America.
Remember Iran?
It was a moder society,util the US helped organise a coup,against the democratically elected society and installed a theocracy,oh yeah I forgot Afghanistan.
Yes indeed its hard to watch,but interesting,some of the lines are true,when she says about all the signs of what was coming,but "we did nothing"

Also Katzickastan now has concetration camps for gay men,

It truly is privalege,when a telivision show can make us feel so uncomfortable,the we just turn it off.

I admit,I watched it twice in 5 days,both seasons,because the first time I was traumitised and missed a lot.

dont get scared,"get active"but Ive been an activist for 40 yrs,I love that their is resistance,no matter,their will always be a resistance.

I am not surprised about Sandra Oh winning the Golden Globe for best performance for an actress in a television series, which I watched. I really liked the series "Killing Eve". My jaw dropped and eyes went wide in several of the episodes, especially the 5th episode when she put on some of Villanelle's perfume, and then my eyes went so wide as I kept watching and saw her put on a dress of Villanelle's, and then only did I take a deep breath!!! What I also liked about the series was that Eve was so real - all over the place.

I have seen quite a few releases last year, and I will just mention a few of them here.

All I can say is that I did not like "Homecoming" - even though Julia Roberts did her best, but that hair (lol).

I also did not like "The First", which I watched basically because of Sean Penn - however, I was so bored, my attention drifting constantly. Every single astronaut's life was so messed up, so I had a hard time believing any of it.

I did like "Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan", mainly because it was so well done, great suspense, that kept me wondering what the next episode would hold.

I had a mixed reaction to 2018 BBC production of the "The ABC Murders" - a 3 episode mini-series. I had read most of Christie's mysteries - great summertime reads as a child at my folks' country cottage when it began to rain. So, I was looking forward to seeing a new version of one of Christie's mysteries and I found it interesting because of John Malkovich playing Poirot. But, this version was so dark. Moreover, I just couldn't imagine Christie writing a Poirot like that. The Poirot of the past that I knew was impeccable, and this screenwriter's version of Poirot seemed shabby and too haunted to be believable.

Am watching "True Detective" (released from HBO) season 3, episodes 1 and 2, which came out yesterday. This is one terrific series if you like crime and mystery. Only problem with it, is that I wish the 8 episodes of this season would have come out all at once. Will have to wait, as the rest of the 6 episodes will be released through January and February. The acting is incredible, especially by Mahershala Ali.

I haven't had a TV for decades, but I have a laptop and a few months ago a friend sent me her Netflix passwords because she was so determined that I MUST watch Hanna Gadsby. Which I did. WOW! She was brilliant. And despite being a pathetic technophobe I figured out how to work it by myself.

After New Years my chosen sister came to town to help me work on my house. At the end of a long day she suggested that we break out the laptop and watch something on Netflix to wind down. I've never done that before, and I still have that password. We watched a documentary called 'Feminism: What Were We Thinking?' It certainly exceeded its dubious title. It followed up with modern interviews with a number of women who had been portrait subjects of one female photographer active in NYC during the heady 1970's feminist movement. Mostly they were artists, performers and other creative women who were the photographer's friends at the time. Many were lesbians, but only a few spoke about that during the documentary. It was quite good.

Actually, I watch most of the things I have posted on cable, as I pay for many stations, but I try and note where you can stream them if you like:

On Space (available through CBS All Access), I recently saw the 1st episode of the new season of "Star Trek: Discovery" - what fun, and the young Spock makes an appearance. I rather like this series, and am enjoying it. I have seen almost every episode of every Star Trek series, as well as all of the films coming out of this media franchise. I guess you could call me a closet-trekkie... although, I would never go to one of their fan meet-ups (chuckle)... I am looking forward to the 2nd episode of season 2 - :)

I also saw the first episode of "Roswell, New Mexico" on one of my stations (it's available through The CW). To me, it was awful, poor script, cliches galore, & the most ridiculous unbelievable and mixed-up plot-line; they even mixed in the idea of illegal outer-space aliens with illegal migrant "aliens" - I think, it was difficult following the complicated plot-line, even a nod to Trump's shutdown.

And I saw the first 2 episodes of "Project Blue Book" on one of my History channels (I have 3 of 'em). I liked it, even though I am not a conspiracy buff. There is enough real-life conspiracy going on in real-time to refrain from expending any energy on any of those UFO ideas. So, just watching it for fun. I have never seen a UFO, and I think that if aliens have been visiting us... well, I'm sure they wouldn't get too close, considering what humans are like. Actually, I don't believe in aliens per se - (I have encountered in the woods - many years ago - an interesting non-solid entity which had its own awareness; it did scare all the wildlife, who wisely hid - and so, I took a "hint" from their behaviour and, for my part, I ran.) Insofar as the show goes, it seems to have fairly good writers and decent acting. Good lord, they even threw in a few Russian spies!!! - smh & chuckles.

I just finished watching Russian Doll on Netflix. I thought it was very well made, and Natasha Lyonne (OITNB) is really good as the protagonist. It's a character-keeps-waking-up-at-the-same-point-in-time-and-living-the-same-day-over-and-over type story which we have seen in Groundhog Day. Natasha plays a pleasingly strong woman with strong women friends. The dialogue is darkly funny. It's worth a binge - it's only 8 episodes, and not one second is superfluous.

Southwest of Salem: The Story of the San Antonio Four (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southwest_of_Salem:_The_Story_of_the_San_Antonio_F our)

Southwest of Salem: The Story of the San Antonio Four is a 2016 documentary directed by Deborah Esquenazi and produced by Sam Tabet about the persecution of four Latina lesbians in 1997 and 1998 who allegedly gang-raped two young girls. The story investigates the wrongful convictions of Elizabeth Ramirez, Cassandra Rivera, Kristie Mayhugh, and Anna Vasquez in the midst of the Satanic Panic witch-hunt era of the 1980s and 1990s.

Resurrection: Ertugrul
Dirilis: Ertugrul (original title)

This is one of the best television series I have ever watched on Netflix. It's in Turkish with English subtitles. IMHO it is as good as Game of Thrones and has a worldwide following.

The storyline and characters depict real-life heroes from Turkish history. The story follows the lives, beliefs, and migrations of the Kayi nomadic tribe who's faith and conquests led to the establishment of the Ottoman Empire.

One of the things I like most about this series is that it does a magnificent job of sharing with the world the beauty of the Muslim faith, how they think, what inspires them and what they had to face to build their empire. In their own words and from their viewpoint. Culturally rich, great storyline and acting. You can't help but fall in Love with the characters. I'm moved by the purity of heart, love, tenderness, faith, and fierceness of these beautiful people.

I have a new heartfelt respect for Islam from hearing their story. Something I feel is much needed in this time that I believe will sadly (and embarrassingly) be referred to as "The Cretin Uprising" in U.S. history 'books.

I have just begun watching "Years and Years" a BBC "drama" 2019- ... 1st season will be six episodes. Emma Thompson plays Vivienne Rook, a founder of some Think Tank... and while grinning, my jaw dropped in the same way as when I saw the first episode of "House of Cards", like OMG!!! This Brit drama is brilliant, and this looks extraordinary to say the least.

It starts off with Rook being interviewed on some show, saying:

"I just don't understand the world any more.
It all made sense up until a few years back.
The left was the left, the right was the right.
America was America.
I just kissed the kids goodnight, turned out the lights, looked forward to
waking up the next day.
I dread it now, every day.
Dread."

A moderator on the TV panel asks her:
"What would you say to a Palestinian
family on the Gaza Strip, when Israel has reduced
the electricity supply to two hours a day?"

"Two hours!?"
"Yeah, I know."

And so Rook (Emma Thompson) goes on to say:
"I know, but I suppose when it comes to Israel and Palestine...
... I don't give a f***."

Shocking, eh?

And so this is how the first episode begins...

I cried TWICE in the first episode, and I'm not a cryer. It was just so great to see Mary Ann Singleton and "Mouse" and everyone. There are many new additions to the cast, as well.

I watched the first half of the 1st episode (the Pilot), this TV series will cause many to react to triggers: drugs, sex, mental illnesses...

There is quite a lot of controversy regarding this show.

Actually, I got bored half-way thru the first episode, and stopped watching.

Spoiler alert:

The kid is numbering window panes in her mind and keeps getting interrupted by the control-freak mother, and so starts crying; so, the mom takes her to a shrink, and the shrink labels her with a zillion mental illnesses, and she is prescribed all sorts of meds!! It goes downhill from there.

Ya know, I didn't think she had that bad of a childhood apart from that one incident, so I had problems believing the story line (apparently, her sister was "normal" - whatever that means! - and the fact that there was no sexual abuse in childhood, no beating, no abandonment, so it was difficult to believe how her illness develops). A lot of passionless, mindless, mediocre teenagers with nothing better to do than think about sex, and drugs, and ... you get it! I wonder what teenagers watching this will or might identify with the characters...

[Lyte]

I AM MOTHER … I can't offer too much of a critique without giving away the plot. The protagonist, played by Clara Rugaard (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm6140880/) makes it worth a viewing. I don't recall seeing her before this movie. She'll be one to watch in the future. :koolaid:

"Am I the only one who gets Hillary Swank and Jennifer Garner mixed-up"?


Never had any trouble mixing those two up but back in the day I sure did with Alicia Silverstone & Reese Witherspoon...

[girl_dee]

I still can't do Handmaid's Tale. I hear it's not gotten anymore "positive" … so it'll likely just piss me off again! lol :p

Yes - I love dark dramas but even the Handmaid’s Tale was a bit much for me. Just too much gloom and general weirdness.

[Lyte]

Ditto! ;)

Mohammed Ali: What's My Name (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ybnXgMMb5g) on HBO. Super documentary! Informative, enlightening, dramatic… a must watch! :koolaid:

I confess I'm a bit conflicted about Mohammed Ali. He demonstrated so many of the best qualities any human being could possess and at the same time, he demonstrated some of the worst human traits. <-- which is true for most people but unlike most people, he was a huge presence in the world … I mean literally … in the whole wide world! I think … my conflicted feelings come from not knowing for certain whether or not he was an amazing human being and a jerk, or if he was an amazing human being with a jerk persona. Then again, can we really know anyone for certain? :blink:

In any case, we do know the amazing part is for damn certain! Check it out...

Currently watching Sneaky Pete (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KCM-I4j-Rv4) on Amazon. There are three seasons available for binging. It's from the same people that brought us Justified, Americans and Breaking Bad … Graham Yost, Bryan Cranston and Margo Martindale <-- love her! ;)

It's an interesting drama with an interesting premise. Mostly, everyone's a grifter trying to grift everyone else! :blink: lol

I’m currently trying to savor The Spanish Princess on Starz via Prime. I have only one episode left. I certainly hope it returns.

[cinnamongrrl]

I started watching Bosch on Prime and ended up staying up to the wee hours because I couldn’t stop.

He reminds me of Joe Kenda meets Dirty Harry. Awesome character, great storyline. It’s been days since I could watch since I’ve been busy as a bee. This weekend I’ll catch my honey up and we’ll go from there...

[Dutch Leonard]

Transmilitary, the documentary about transgender service members, is up on Amazon Prime.

[Lyte]

Ditto! It's very good!

Just seeing this now. No, it's not any more "positive" but I am feeling this season has slowed down a bit. But I am still loyal fan.

[girl_dee]

We’ve just finished watching One Day at a Time.

LOVE this show! Rita Moreno is a delight!

This brings all the unusual topics of comedy shows to light very tastefully. Moms dealing with teenage gay child, deadbeat ex husband, one kid trying pot, an aging mother, being a single mom, tight finances...

One of my favorite scenes is where the gay daughter is explaining why we have to ask what pronouns gay folks prefer!

[JDeere]

Golem on Netflix

I liked it too! Sadly, I think I read that it's not being picked up for another season. :(

[dark_crystal]

I watched the first half of the 1st episode (the Pilot), this TV series will cause many to react to triggers: drugs, sex, mental illnesses...

There is quite a lot of controversy regarding this show.

Actually, I got bored half-way thru the first episode, and stopped watching.

Spoiler alert:

The kid is numbering window panes in her mind and keeps getting interrupted by the control-freak mother, and so starts crying; so, the mom takes her to a shrink, and the shrink labels her with a zillion mental illnesses, and she is prescribed all sorts of meds!! It goes downhill from there.

Ya know, I didn't think she had that bad of a childhood apart from that one incident, so I had problems believing the story line (apparently, her sister was "normal" - whatever that means! - and the fact that there was no sexual abuse in childhood, no beating, no abandonment, so it was difficult to believe how her illness develops). A lot of passionless, mindless, mediocre teenagers with nothing better to do than think about sex, and drugs, and ... you get it! I wonder what teenagers watching this will or might identify with the characters...

I watched 3 episodes and i have not felt driven to pick it back up again, but i did not have a believability issue with her illness. Childnood mental illness is not caused by trauma.

I did wonder why we don't see any OCD behaviors after the windowpane-counting scene, though. They are not showing any pathology except substance use in the non-flashback scenes, and that is not realistic.

I love Zendaya's acting in this though, and i love the Jules character-- she reminds me of sweet trans girls i have known who did not get to live with their parents or go to high school, and makes me sad for them

Since yesterday, I've been catching up on NBC's series - This Is Us, via Netflix.

Today, I discovered the Netflix series called, The Office.

I like both of them, This Is Us & The Office, a lot.

I like both of them, This Is Us & The Office, a lot.

How excellent to know This is Us is on Netflix! I started watching it on the NBC streaming site on Sling but it was unpredictable at best (the streaming). I enjoyed what I did see and can’t wait to see how it unfolds.

For myself, I’ve been watching Bosch on Prime and also watched a documentary series called The Eleven about a suspected serial killing from the 70s. Kept me intrigued but made me feel slightly more disgusted with our legal system at the same time.

[JDeere]

Netflix called Bad Blood.

[Orema]

This weekend I watched:


Kim's Convenience (really like this sitcom out of Canada)
Girlfriends Guide to Whatever ... (I'm over this and doubt I'll watch it again, though I do like the Phoebe and Delia characters)
Wynonna Earp (something scared me in the first few minutes and I turned it off but am gonna try it again)
Bosch (I'm always down for a copper whose mama was a 'ho')

[Martina]

I just finished season 14 of Grey's Anatomy on Netflix. One more season to go, then I'll be caught up again!

I used to be a huge Grey's Anatomy fan but lost some interest when they killed Derek off. I still catch most episodes though.

Speaking of medical shows, I have been watching House on Amazon. I only watched maybe ten episodes during it's entire run, so it's mostly new to me. Pretty absorbing although I have to say that some of this would not fly in the metoo era

[girl_dee]

Just finished OITNB... it was time for it to come to an end.

About to start Wentworth!

[Kätzchen]

I just learned about a Latino sit-com which can be found on Amazon, Hulu or over on YouTube: It's called, Jane The Virgin. I read about it on CNN, then read an article about it on Rotten Tomatoes website, then I bookmarked the sit-com at YouTube, my favorite place to find TV shows to watch.

Jane The Virgin just finished season 5 with a fabulous finale. Rotten Tomatoes rates it as 85% to 100% in positive ratings by audiences watching this show over the past five years. Apparently it's pretty good!

So when I get back home from my stay-cation house-sitting duties, I plan to catch up on all seasons of this Latino reality-TV-type show, which can only be found in 3 places, and not on some major network or cable TV station.

LOL (or not!), I tried to watch season 1 last night and each episode of each season is priced at $1.99......so I won't be paying to watch any episode of this TV show.

Once I discovered it would cost to watch it, I went in search of picking up where I last left off with the *Free* episodes of Rockford Files. Lo and Behold, the account was reported for airing episodes of Rockford Files for free, so no more of that favorite TV show either.

Next thing you know, YouTube will close the account of the member who has posted nearly all the Dick Van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore episodes of the Dick Van Dyke show of the early 1960s.

I will have to see if any YouTube member has posted a series of *free* episodes to watch, from the TV show called Dallas. OMG, I loved watching that evening soap opera, back in the day. Who could resist watching that show, right?


:vigil: <<<<<<<~~ in search of Free TV over on YouTube (face).

Hulu

Four Weddings and A Funeral. It's a super cute series by Mindy Kaling. ( she was on the Office)

Definitely holds my attention while I'm hibernating on the couch, from the scorching heat and humidity and stitching up a wedding announcement for my neice.

[Lyte]

Technically, it's at Redbox but LONG SHOT is worth the drive. It's cute, it's smart, it's funny and it features... repeatedly... one of the best songs ever!

Grace and Frankie will be back for the new season in January! (Netflix)

When I heard the good news, I binge watched all of the prior seasons again....Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda are hysterical!

I even got my sister hooked!

[candy_coated_bitch]

The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance and 13 Reasons Why on Netflix. Both sooooo good.

[Orema]

The Australian film, Animal Kingdom, on the Crackle channel through ROKU.

YNszOl14AWg

Enjoyed it more than the American television series.

[dark_crystal]

It's on HBO and not streaming, but Succession is sooooo good.

I watched the first 3 episodes and didn't get it, so i blew it off but when season 2 started i began to see more and more buzz about it so i went back and picked it up and got hooked. Now i am all caught up and have to wait until tonight for the new episode and a whole week before the finale.

The characters are twisted and shady and corrupt and deserve the guillotine, but Kieran Culkin makes you love him anyway, and it is a really fun ride in how you get there. Jeremy Strong, who plays his brother, also tugs at your heartstrings eventually even though he is a pathetic, venal little worm. None of them deserve ANYTHING good but you still feel bad when they shit on each other.

2 thumbs up!

[RebelDyke]

Jessica Jones

Apparently, someone I know acts on that show. Now just waiting to see which character she plays.... I THINK i know, but it has not come to that episode yet.

I am excited though

Looking over the Emmy award winners..

Some shows I will check out now!

[charley]

Just caught episode 1 of "The Morning Show" (Apple TV+), with Jennifer Aniston & Reese Witherspoon. Personally, have never been a super-fan of Aniston, but she was good on "Friends", but I liked "Friends" like everyone else because of the ensemble relationships; but all those beauty commercials made me groan... lol...

Having said the above, I must say, she is darn good in this TV drama. imdb ratings are pretty good, although it does list it as a comedy-drama. I don't get why they put in the word "comedy", as it is more of an engaging drama, for me at least. And, I was engaged and I thoroughly enjoyed it and can't wait to see episode 2...

And, there was, of course, Reese Witherspoon, whom I really like (remember "Big Little Lies"); and the interaction between Witherspoon and Aniston is priceless.

Both actors are great. The writing is delicious and the show is highly entertaining and I think worth watching. The first episode also covered current issues like the #metoo movement, the coal-mining crisis, etc. Sure beats watching "Morning Joe".

There is also Steve Carell, whom I have never liked, but he plays the "bad guy", and he plays it so well (haha!).

On Epix I'm watching the drama series Godfather of Harlem.


It follows infamous crime boss Bumpy Johnson (Academy Award winner Forest Whitaker), who returned home from ten years in prison in the early 1960s, only to find the streets he once ruled being controlled by the Italian mob, and more specifically by Genovese family boss Vincent “Chin” Gigante (Vincent D’Onofrio). In a fight to regain control, the battle leads him to form an alliance with Malcolm X (Nigél Thatch), at a time when social upheaval is tearing the city apart.

This series and cast is excellent....:hangloose:

[charley]

Well, what can I say??? ummm....

trigger warnings!!!

as I began to to watch this sci-fi (alternate reality) TV series (HBO), I had to put it on stop after a minute or two in the beginning because of the horrific and apparent portrayal of gratuitous violence derived from the "The Tulsa race riot (also called the Tulsa massacre, Greenwood Massacre, or the Black Wall Street Massacre)" of 1921, a real event of which I was not aware of, and which I had to google and read about. It was more of a slaughter than a riot, what a disgusting and racist misnomer!!! Now, I am quite aware of how rotten & callous & unfeeling people involved in racism are, anyone who hates... but I really wasn't prepared for what transpired in the first few minutes... it was like I was there... so I began to fast-forward... and more tragic violence all over the place... good grief !!

I also had some problems with the complicated story-line, which I found too difficult to follow, at least for me. I really didn't understand what was going on, nor could I understand the point, the "why" of such episodes, of this series...

And, because of all the strange characters and scene-shifting, I also couldn't find anyone to relate to... It just seems that quite a few of these new modern sci-fi series are beyond anything I might enjoy... re-creations of some neurotic writer's nightmares.

So, after having sorta watched not more than half of the first two episodes, I will not be watching any more of this series.

In sum, I do not recommend this TV series.

[RebelDyke]

the Lizzie Borden Chronicles... love christina ricci

now I am workin on The Matrix trilogy love carrie anne moss

Since I like sci-fi, I've already watched episode 1 of the new Disney+ The Mandalorian. It seems like there will be 8 episodes in first season, coming out throughout Nov and Dec. Much fun, I guess, especially for kids of all ages... and completely in the Star Wars tradition. So, a lot of shoot 'em up scenes. The CGI and world-construction were really good.

It is a sci-fi / western type of series, with The Mandalorian being a very Clint Eastwood-esque bounty hunter (i.e. gunfighter) :fastdraq: , and so the new adventure begins, and he goes after his first major asset... and what a surprise that is! I won't say what the asset is... so, no spoilers here. :)

Looking For Alaska...based on a book written by John Green

Looking for Alaska is John Green's first novel, published in March 2005 by Dutton Juvenile. It won the 2006 Michael L. Printz Award from the American Library Association, and led the association's list of most-challenged books in 2015 due to profanity and sexually explicit scenes.

Hulu 👍👍👍

[charley]

Well, I do remember how much I liked the film "The Golden Compass" (2007) - an absolutely delightful film. And, so a TV Series has been made of the first part of Pullman's trilogy, and well, not to give anything away of the story line, it follows much of the same story as in The Golden Compass.

HBO and BBC have released His Dark Materials, a fantasy adventure TV Series, and I've seen the first episode. I am really enjoying this adaptation of Pullman's first part of his trilogy. Excellent production. Much better than the the film, I think, and very well worth watching.

Unlike "The Mandalorian", it has much more feeling, and so I relate better to this series, and there were many scenes where I smiled.

Everyone has this animal daemon to protect them and the relationship between human being and daemon is considered "sacred". And so, the story follows the adventures of the girl Lyra and her daemon, and there are all sorts of lovable characters to be found here, and of course, there are the baddies... the Gobblers, who snatch children... utoh !

God, how I loved watching those hokey serials as a kid, sitting in front of the TV, spellbound.

and as far as the asset he gets - um, a child, the following picture says it all:

Herbie the Love Bug. Oh, Disney+, what have you done to this house.

I'm starting the series Lucifer on Netflix. Only on episode 2, but so far it looks pretty entertaining.

[Bèsame*]

I highly suggest catching the

Kacey Musgraves Xmas Special. I guess it aired last night on TV, but I watched it this morning on Prime Time.

Super cute, retro festive, lots of guest stars, new songs, comical, and new Christmas songs!

The Kominsky Method Netflix.......

Aging acting coach Sandy Kominsky isn't ready to ride off into the sunset just yet. The once-famous Kominsky and his longtime agent, Norman Newlander, keep each other laughing as they tackle the curveballs that life throws at them while navigating their later years.

This Netflix original sitcom has a strong Hollywood pedigree; it was created by multiple Emmy winner Chuck Lorre and stars Oscar winners Michael Douglas and Alan Arkin as Kominsky and Newlander, respectively.

We binged watched season 2 in like a couple evenings we liked it so much........

Lucifer is a GREAT series. It gets better as it goes. I think you'll really get a kick out of it. Plus, that accent. C'mon!

I just started the Lucifer series based on GeorgiaMa'am's posting and am enjoying it. I love the concept.

Thanks for the tip, ladies.

Just an interesting tidbit: Lucifer was originally a DC comic book.

Another interesting tidbit: Netflix has renewed it for a 5th and final season.

Dolemite is My Name on Netflix.

I’m surprised by how much I like this film. I was worried Eddie would make a caricature of Rudy Ray Moore, but he didn’t. It was funny and sweet and I look forward to seeing it again.

Eddie did right by Rudy Ray.

[charley]

It didn't grab me, in fact it depressed the hell out of me!

Moe, I decided to watch Marriage Story after reading your post, which I did this afternoon; however, since I have never been depressed psychologically, I must say, I really liked it, it was - while being both funny and sensitive [had me smiling from time to time] - pretty realistic and very well done - quite an intelligent film, and I think it may very well win a few awards, and I think it is a film that is worth watching.

I am sorry that you felt that way after having watching the film. (I guess - perhaps, not sure, triggers.)

Personally, my parents never divorced - in retrospect, I wish they had!!! It was I who "separated" myself from them... lol (I even had a cousin who used the court system to become an emancipated adult at quite a young age.)

What I really liked about it was the way in which adults come into their own to live their own lives, instead of depending on others to make them feel "alive" and/or happy and/or secure, etc. So, insofar a I am concerned, in many ways, it is an adult film for adults, about relationships and individuals.

I should have added: it's obscene and vulgar (it is about Rudy Ray Moore), but very good.

I'll be surprised if it's nominated for any awards, but it's my favorite film for 2019.

[dark_crystal]

We learned from the Golden Globe nominations that we needed to watch The Politician.

Reviews were not great but i liked it and would recommend. Going to start the Kominsky Method this weekend.

Also I watched The Irishman but not Marriage Story, yet. I will get to it before the Globes ceremony

[firecat242]

Got hooked on L Word Generation Q, Work in Progress and Fleabag. All just started there run so I am reserving judgement.

Well, I've seen episode 2 and ya know, it all reminds me of the really old 1949 TV serial, Rocketman!!!! first released before I was born...haha... only The Mandalorian doesn't have rockets attached to his back, but the look is similar... and he has a spaceship instead. God, how I loved watching those hokey serials as a kid, sitting in front of the TV, spellbound.

and as far as the asset he gets - um, a child, the following picture says it all:

https://www.geek.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/baby-yoda-in-the-mandalorian-625x352.jpg

it's Star Wars, but as a TV serial, what fun... :)

Ah, the Mandalorian's 1st season is finished (ah!!!), it was most excellent! and as the season developed, character development improved and there was a richer sense of feeling, absolutely marvellous. A most wonderful series in the Star Wars franchise.

SPOILER ALERT following:

(Do not read for the risk of seeing a spoiler.)

He finally gets his rocket pack on his back! :) (shades of Rocketman... lol)

I never really had a father model to follow and had to learn what it meant to be my own dad, a sane and holistic version of that kind of parent, and that is another reason why I really liked this series.

BBC has released Dracula as a 3-part mini-series that can also be viewed thru Netflix.
And I saw the first episode today, OMG!

Ratings are high, and what can I say, but OMG!

If you saw Bram Stoker's Dracula of 1992, you will recognize certain characters since they are still there [Dracula - originally played by Gary Oldman, Mina - originally played by Winona Ryder, Jonathan Harker - originally played by Keanu, and Van Helsing - originally played by Anthony Hopkins] and some of the story line, but this adaptation takes quite a few liberties, even moving off in a more modern uptake; there is stuff from the novel, but they have decided to add stuff that really wasn't in the original.
The 1992 film never really scared me, and none of the other vampire films/series that I've seen over the years ever scared me either, just fun fantasy adventure romps. I've seen quite a few vampire films (ya know: like Interview with a Vampire, the Blade films, etc.), and TV Series (ya know: like True Blood, The Originals, The Strain, just to name a few), and well, I never had to put anything on pause like I did in this 2020 BBC version. Today, I came away quite stunned and had to vent to someone I know in real time just to unwind... The next two episodes will follow this week.
It is exceptionally well-written, acting was superb, and the suspense was all there. After putting it on pause (more than once) and remembering to breathe, I sat there calming myself down, until I began wondering: so, what happens next? (lol)
The thing about it that was remarkable to me was just how realistic it was, and I think that that was made it so bloody scary. Casting was brilliant, especially for Dracula (played by someone I had never heard of before, Class Bang), who could just as easily be the guy next door, so charming and clever, until... a rather excellent portrayal of a modern-day sociopath, with a very particular taste for... Anyways, I wonder what will happen in the next two episodes.
What was also absolutely fascinating was the philosophical angle.

Well, I finished watching the series, and can't wait to discuss it with someone that I know, who is also watching it.

I am aware that quite a few people didn't like how it developed thru episodes 2 and 3 (oh well, tastes vary, ya know, chuckling here). It is always amusing to see how people caught in the dysfunctional web of comparison manage to sustain their earlier likes and dislikes (based on memory) of how they think things ought to be, in this case, cries of, "it didn't follow the book!" chuckling here. Very difficult for them to see things afresh/anew, without any preconceived ideas. I like what Mark Gatiss (Creator and Producer) and what Steven Moffat (Writer) did in this series, for the same reasons that I liked what both of them did in the BBC production of the 2010- TV Series of Sherlock. Interesting that Moffat also wrote for Doctor Who from 2005-2017.

Anyways, it was good enough for me to warrant an interest to watch this brilliant series a second time. I learned quite a few things from it! :)

Working my way through The Mandalorian on Disney+. Also, binging on old episodes of MASH.

If you have Acorn check this series out........

The Mandalorian on Disney + is great but a very short season. If you like good sci fi action, do yourself a favor and check this show out.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

So, GeorgiaMa'am, how are you liking (?) The Mandalorian? :)

I like it! I have only seen the first two episodes (I'm watching it with someone else, and they have to be at my house before we get another episode in), but the story seems really intriguing so far.

I want a Baby Yoda. (I know, *his name isn't Yoda, but I want one anyway.)

Watched Ghost Town (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0995039/) this morning. Available on Pluto TV and Amazon Prime.

Not a fan of Ricky Gervais, but enjoyed his acerbic humor as a cranky dentist who’s suddenly able to see dead people. It’s a predictable comedy with Tea Leoni, Greg Kinnear, and a number of recognizable character actors.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Just finished _The Kominsky Method_ on Netflix. I enjoyed it a lot more than I expected to! Quite funny.

Just started the new seasons of _Lost in Space_ and _Grace and Frankie_, both on Netflix. They are both shaping up to be at least as good as previous seasons.

[charley]

Just saw the 1st episode of the new Star Trek series: PICARD, it was excellent ! :)

"Norsemen" is a Norwegian comedy TV series about a group of Vikings living in the village of Norheim around the year 790.

[RebelDyke]

Doomsday Preppers

Dracula (three part mini series which spans from the 1800 to nearly current.. very interesting take on it)

Myths and Monsters.

Sex Education (those who know me well know why this show)

[GeorgiaMa'am]

I just started watching _Sense 8_ on Netflix. I don't know if this show is really as popular as it seems, or if Netflix just keeps trying to shove it down my throat. So far it seems very weird - not necessarily in a good way. I'm not sure if I'll stick with it.

[C0LLETTE]

Back to "Norsemen"...brilliant parody of all those Viking, Lost Kingdom, etc, series that seem to have taken over Netflix lately.I can't recommend it enough.

It's on Netflix and the dialogue is in English ( no worries about having to learn Norwegian ), which is very fortunate because it's hilarious ...2 seasons now and i never stop laughing...right from the opening sequence when a selected group of elders in this impoverished village refuse to jump of a cliff as a sacrificial offering to the gods and "take one for the team".

[Gemme]

I just started watching The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina. For those that watched Sabrina, the Teenage Witch on TV this is the adult version, right down to the black cat named Salem. It's interesting and just a wee bit spooky. I like it so far.

I finished AJ and the Queen, with RuPaul. I loved it so much I binged all 10 episodes in one day (I'm a sucker for a good drag queen)!

I'm re-watching Lucifer. I saw it on cable and am now going back because I haven't seen it since it was picked up again.

That's all for the past week.

[Kelt]

This last week I've been laid up with a bad knee, I parked it in front of the tube and figured out how to watch prime which I've had forever and never watched. As an alternative to Netflix it doesn't seem to offer much but as a supplement it's free and has a couple of things. I've been binging Bosch which is basically another detective show though tries for contemporary noir in LA. I like both his house and taste in music a lot. The rest is standard fare.

It was recommended by some folks who have read the book series, it might spark me to read them. The book is always better.

[Jedi]

Episode 2 of Star Trek Picard did not disappoint. I highly recommend this show to any Picard fan.

[RebelDyke]

Ragnarok.....on netflix... it's .... interesting.

[Orema]

Am watching The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0406158/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1) on Pluto TV. It’s about a housewife from the 1950s or 60s who enters jingle writing contests to help support her large family. It’s with Julianne Moore and Woody Harrelson and I can watch either of them in almost anything.

Picard fan here, just recently heard this was coming out. Where is it streaming?

[Kelt]

Continuing my quest to see if Prime has anything I found Goliath and am enjoying it. Being stuck at home I am seeing more video than usual.

Just kind of burned out on Netflix for a while, I think it’s partly due to the recommendations being too similar to each other. I like a lot of variety and it’s there but ever more difficult to find.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

I'm considering spending $31.99 to get the first season of _The Rookie_. I have only seen one episode, but I'm told it's the kind of thing I would really like. I kind of hate to spend the money when there are so many good things on streaming right now, but on the other hand nothing is really piquing my interest, and I would love a good bingeable series. Any thoughts, pro/con?

[Orema]

Sony is offering it for free at YouTube.
