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

[Dance-with-me]

Spinning off from the thread in what movies have you seen...

What movies or shows have you streamed from Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, any of the many Roku channels, or any site that you frequent online, that you really enjoyed and want to tell others about?

I often come across little gems - older movies, or things that came and went quickly from the theaters, or small budget Indy flicks, or classic old favorites that I've enjoyed rediscovering. If you find anything like that, tell us about it!

My latest find is Leading Ladie, which is on both Netflix and Amazin Primes. It has a soft-butch/femme romance, some amazing dance scenes featuring Benji Schwimmer from So You Think You Can Dance as a flamboyantly gay (duh!) ballroom/swing dancer, and the wickedly talented ballroom dancer and choreographer Melanie LaPatin channelling Bette Midler. It's campy instead of quality, but fun to watch.

[Licious]

Great thread! I prefer to use my laptop for entertainment.

I will post as I come across good movies and hope others will.

*bump*

[Dance-with-me]

Thanks!!

Also, post things that you saw on Netflix or other streaming site even if it was a very popular movie in its time and you're sure that most people have probably seen it or know about it, because some of us may not have seen it and might not know it's there! It's very hard to keep up with what they've added, and there's nothing more frustrating to find out that something great was on there but is now no longer offered.

Looking through Netflix for some things in my queue or that I've recently watched:
~ Lianna and Desert Hearts. For the younger folks here, you just have no idea how much these movies meant to us: Lesbians! In a movie! And a smoking hot love scene (or two? haven't watched in a while). If you haven't seen it, watch if only to think through what it meant to see something like this when there was still so little acceptance of being gay.
~ Long Life, Happiness, and Prosperity. Very sweet little movie about a young girl who wants to create magic to allow her mom to find love. Sandra Oh is the mom.
~ Billy Elliot. Great story about what it's like to be in a masculine-dominated society and not fit into the norms of what a boy should do.
~ Last Dance. Documentary on Maurice Sendak's work with the avant-garde dance company Pilobolus to tell a moving story based on some events from the Holocaust. Excellent.
~ George Carlin - several of his things on there. If you by chance have never really watched/listened to his stuff, make the time. He's brilliant.
~ Praying with Lior. A documentary on a boy who has Down's Syndrome, his delight in and commitment to his Jewish faith, intertwined with the story of his mom's battle with cancer. I may be prejudiced on this one because I knew many of the people in it, but it's still moving and interesting.
~ Been Rich All My Life. Documentary on a group of women who were showgirls in Harlem in the '30s, and their experiences during that time, and their journey towards reuniting on stage as elderly (but still awesome) performers.
~ Saint of 9/11. Documentary about Father Mychal Judge, who was an openly gay priest, chaplain to the NYC fire department, and killed on 9/11.
~ Bela Fleck: Throw Down Your Heart. Documentary on the amazing banjo player Bela Fleck and his travels to Africa to research the early origins of that instrument and play with a lot of local musicians. Fantastic for anyone who loves "world music."
~ Mayor Cupcake. Haven't seen it but had to list it because it's a small indy flick that's set where I live! I've heard it's a really cute movie.
~ Mao's Last Dancer. Based on a true story about a Chines ballet dancer who defects to the US. It's also an excellent history lesson on the Chinese cultural revolution.
~ Kite Runner. LOVED the book, haven't yet seen the movie.
~ Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. Just watch it if you haven't already.
~ To Be or Not To Be. Very funny little-known Mel Brooks and Anne Bancroft movie centered on the Nazi invasion of Poland (and it's the first film to ever acknowledge the Nazi's treatment of homosexuals)

OK, so WAY more than anyone is probably going to want to watch but if I've pointed you towards even one thing that you enjoyed that you might not have watched otherwise, then... well, that's what I'm hoping that one of you will do for me!

Has anyone else watched Hannah Free? I wanted so much to like it -- Come on, Sharon Gless as an older butch, and the story of her life and loves? But it was just so badly done...

[Hollylane]

Tonight, on Amazon Prime, I'm quite enjoying BBC's mini-series, Emma. I have to confess, that I wish that some of the fashions were acceptable today. I simply adore some of the period gowns.

[SugarFemme]

Prisoners Of War on Hulu. It is an Israeli TV show. Homeland on Showtime is based on it. It is an incredible series if you enjoy drama.

The Perks of being a Wallflower (film)...cried buckets :blush:

Community ...about a community college, it's staff and students. Really funny, especially if you've ever attended a community college.

Gone back to Ideal - originally a BBC3 show and has Johnny Vegas as a northern UK small time drug dealer. Increasingly surreal througout it's 7 series.

Yeah I also cried when I watched it.

The husband and I watched, Silver Lining Playbook and The Master last weekend. We both didnt like Silver Lining Playbook. I dont get what all the fuss is about! And the husband found it really american. And I am with him on that! Loved The Master. Great film.

I thought Perks dealt with universal themes in a wonderfully sensitive way. A must for anyone who ever felt like an outsider. I'm recommending it highly to Ms.Sponsorliscious for her and the teensprogette.

Will look up The Master for later.

Watched Salmon fishing in Yemen with the Space Cadet last night. Lovely feel good movie.

[UofMfan]

As per my son's recommendation (and insistence), I am now impatiently waiting for Netflix to show Arrested Development.

[cinnamongrrl]

I watched part of the first episode of Return to Lonesome Dove...loved the original...gonna take some growing on me to like the second part.....

[Hollylane]

I'm marathon watching The Closer on Amazon Prime. I've waited a long time to watch it, after watching season 2, just so that I can watch one season right after another, right up to the end. I love that show!!

[cinnamongrrl]

We started watching Jericho and The Killing, both on Netflix. And I am watching the L word on my own on Netflix...

[Daktari]

Hannibal series 1
I think the third episode is this week.

It tells the story of how Agent Will Graham and Hannibal Lector came to work together. It's sorta, like, almost a prequel to Silence of...

I saw the first two last week and can't wait to see how they develop the story.

[Andrea]

Just finished the first season of House of Cards. Love Kevin Spacey.

... beginning The Borgias! And, I'm in the midst of The L Word (the original series not the trashy one). I'd forgotten how enjoyable the first couple of seasons really were. I'm also watching (from the beginning) Dark Shadows!

Fabulous fun, Netflix.

[Hollylane]

Grimm, and I have been extra focused on the extras in the background, because one of them is my supervisor...Fun!

[maryam]

On Netflix, I've been rewatching *the West Wing* and it's still pretty awesome. Still makes me cry a lot during some episodes. 'specially *Two Cathedrals" and *the Long Goodbye*.

They have lots of Classic Doctor Who, on Netflix too, and when I'm done with *the West Wing* I'm going to redo *Dresden Files*. I sure do wish that *Northern Exposure* was available for streaming! When I really want to be all drippy and stupid, I watch certain episodes of New Doctor Who... Oh the feels! (Rule Number 1; the Doctor lies...) And yes, I'm minorly freaked out by the weeping angels and the Vashta Narada.

I also did the BBC version of *Emma* a few months ago, and their version of *Pride and Prejudice* from 1980 whatever it was. I dearly love all the old BBC miniserieses on Netflix. I don't have Hulu+ or Amazon Prime anymore, but we may get Prime. I love my Roku, too, btw.

I was kind of bummed when Netflix pulled all of the Ken Burns off.

I've been watching the internet version of, One life to Live and All My Children. I have watched, One Life to Live for 20 years. I have grown up watching this silly soap. I've watched it with my sister after school, I have watched it while eating dinner with my mother and now I watch it in my north london flat. It has become part of my life. But this new version of it? I don't know what to think about it. I dont know how long its going to last. And now I have found out that its only going to be shown twice a week. So, I do wonder how long it will last.

[CA_BabyCakes]

Addicted to watching the old black and white Twilight Zone episodes on Netflix right now! I have almost finished all four seasons available (which i believe are 1,2,3,and 5).....

[PoeticSilence]

Some HULU series, I found them all very entertaining:
Pramface
Moone Boy
Rev.
Little Mosque

[deathbypoem]

I watched inside the control room and raw footage of the 2003 Columbus Space Shuttle as it crashed, before and after.

[Apocalipstic]

Netflix

Orange is the new Black
and
The Killing

[girl_dee]

Seoul Train..

[alexri]

I signed up for the 30 day free trial of Netflix, watched all of Orange is the New Black, and then canceled the free trial. I had read the book; the series definitely steers away from it, but it was still entertaining.

[Sweet Bliss]

A Late Quartet

Very moving. No special effects, no guns, just the human experience.

[PoeticSilence]

I keep up with quite a few shows on HULU:
Once
Grimm
Pramface
Little Mosque
The Following
The Booth at the End
Beauty and the Beast
Touch
Whites
666 Park Avenue
Cult
Rev
Being Human
The New Normal
I could keep going, there is a new show I haven't seen yet called LIP SERVICE that focuses on the romantic lives of gay women in Glasgow..!

[Sweet Bliss]

Six Degrees Could Change the World

Very sober presentation.

I just started Doc Martin and Ripper Street

Covert Affairs (god, it's bad. why do i watch it?)
Longmire -- love this show
Burn Notice

[Sweet Bliss]

WAKE UP

Documentary of young man struggling to come to terms with his new ability to see the other side.

I just finished watching Alphas. I really enjoyed it. I don't recommend getting into it though, because as usual, they leave you hanging at the end of Season 2, with all but one character dead. Then the network decided that 1.7 million fans is not enough to make the investment in a third season.

Fuckwads. :insert frustrated with American television series face:

[Deirdre]

I started watching Alphas and liked it, but just couldn't get hooked like I did with Fringe. I am terrible with cliff-hanging, which is probably because I'm anxious enough as it is, so I usually don't watch constant-cliffhanger shows. That said, almost every show is like that now, so...

As far as my Netflix watching:

Nothing. I think I've watched everything on Netflix. Twice. So I hope they update their catalog soon! If I keep seeing the same recommendations for things I have already watched, I am going to stab myself in the face with a fork.

And then do it again.

[Hack]

I believe the documentary "The House I Live In" is streaming on Netflix now. Great documentary, if you get a chance to view it.

Yes, I agree about both the fork X2, and that Fringe is better. I toggle between both Netflix & Amazon, to lesson the desire for the fork.

You got me thinking about the cliffhanger trend. That is so true. Having come from a childhood of enjoying programs like (some of them re-runs) Little House on the Prairie,
Andy Griffith, Magnum PI, Simon & Simon, The Waltons etc, current American television shows tend to bring on a bit of stress.

*Small rant*

For me, that would be acceptable, if there was some guarantee of closure to a final season cliffhanger, when they cancel a series. I seriously feel that the FCC should make this a law. People invest time in 40 minute television series over several seasons, which for those who watch on cable, include 20 minutes of repetitive commercials (don't do the math of how much time you spend watching commercials while watching cable, because the fork desire will increase), and there should be some fucking consideration for their loyalty as viewers.

*End rant*

One of the big reasons I enjoy streaming so much, is that I can wait until there are several seasons of a show available, and I then I don't have to wait to find out what happens next (until I get to the end of the last available season).

[Nic]

We watched Marwencol last night. She'd seen it. I hadn't. I thought it was pretty damned interesting. Followed it up with Exit Through the Gift Shop. We both liked it but she more than I. I kept waiting for Banksy to appear and say "It's me!" LOL

I'm watching it on Amazon streaming.

I was checking Amazon to see if you meant the free streaming and .... oh wait, I forgot I own season 2. lol, dork :seconddoh:

I bought each episode as it aired last season because I only had basic cable.

Good thing Amazon keeps track of my purchases because apparently I cant even remember buying an entire season of a TV show! :|

The Dark Matter of Love

"The Dark Matter of Love," which premiered this week at the Toronto International Film Festival, tells the story of the Diazes of Oregon, Wis., a family struggling to bond with their three adopted children from Russian orphanages.

In "The Dark Matter of Love," McCarthy pulls the curtain back on Claudio and Cheryl Diaz, their teenage daughter Cami and their multiple trips to Russia to adopt Masha, 11 at the time, and twin brothers Vadim and Marcel, 5-year-old firecrackers.

There's another journey related to "The Dark Matter of Love," one every bit as anxious as the Diazes' trips to Russia two years ago.

[WildHorses]

Bag of Bones

Bag of Bones or Stephen King's Bag of Bones, is an American TV horror film adaptation of Stephen King's novel. Directed by Mick Garris from Matt Venne's screenplay, it was first aired in 2011 on the A&E Network in two parts.

Best-selling novelist Mike Noonan and his wife, Jo, are unable to conceive children; Mike conceals that he has a low sperm count. Jo is killed by a bus while crossing a street. As she dies in his arms, Mike notices she bought a pregnancy test, and assumes that she may have been having an affair. Overcome by grief from her death, Mike develops a case of writer's block. He suffers a series of nightmares about his wife and their summer home on Dark Score Lake in Maine. On advice from his brother, Sid, Mike takes a trip to the summer house.

Once there, he meets a young widow named Mattie Devore and her 6-year-old daughter, Kyra. Befriending them, he earns the ire of Mattie's estranged father-in-law Max Devore. Max has been trying to get custody of Kyra since Mattie shot his son Lance (Lance was trying to drown the child). Despite the turmoil, Mike begins to write again, but visions and nightmares lead him to believe he isn't alone. He finds that his wife's spirit is with him. He also detects the spirit of a 1930s singer named Sara Tidwell who plays records of her music. Sara also appears in dreams that Mike has of her last day alive in 1939. During his stay at the lake, Mike learns about "Dark Score Crazy," an apparent form of madness that caused several men in the town to murder their daughters by drowning them.

I really liked the first season of House Of Cards, enjoyed the second as well but not as much. I'm almost afraid to watch season 3.

I don't know if I really like House of Cards or not lol...the story pulls me in but the acting kinda bugs me some...so far Im still intrigued enuff to complete the first season...

Same here, I saw the series and am now on the fourth book. :cowboy:

A lot of the scenery is very similar to where I am now and I'm enjoying the descriptors. Reminiscent of the earlier Tony Hillerman series in many ways.

[cinnamongrrl]

I started watching Revenge with Madeline Stowe...its amazing. I cant believe I waited so long to watch it....

Im still on season 3 of Longmire. Im trying to make it last longer by taking a mini break. But I find myself craving to watch it....

[Liam]

I finished season 4 of Longmire yesterday, and I think the cliffhanger beats any cliffhanger, I have ever seen! I already miss Walt, Henry, Vic and the rest of the crew in Durant, Wyoming. I don't know what I will watch now.

[Liam]

I just watched The Monk and The Tiger, a documentary about a Buddhist monastery in Thailand, where they raise and care for tigers. I was fascinated by the story about how it came into being, and I don't think I will ever tire of watching the big cats, so I really enjoyed it. :)

[Ginger]

Looking forward to checking out all the great series people are talking about, once I move and switch from cable to a streaming situation ... I don't even know the right words for it!

I just read that my Netflix brilliant crush, Robin Wright, negotiated to have equal pay with Kevin Spacey.

Kudos Robin!

"Netflix’s smash hit ‘House of Cards’ has certainly left a lasting impression in her portrayal as the First Lady. Certainly the show could not go on without her, as she routinely steals the screen in one of the show’s best performances.

I was looking at the statistics and Claire Underwood’s character was more popular than [Frank’s] for a period of time. So I capitalized on it.

So it would make sense that when Wright asked to be paid as an equal to Kevin Spacey, that she’d have a fighting chance in winning that argument, right?"

This week, Wright was on stage at the Rockefeller Foundation talking about her role, and how she negotiated equal pay as her counterpart. The Huffington Post was on scene at the event, and got some great quotes from her Q&A session.

"I want to be paid the same as Kevin,’” said Wright. “It was the perfect paradigm. There are very few films or TV shows where the male, the patriarch, and the matriarch are equal. And they are in ‘House of Cards.’ I was looking at the statistics and Claire Underwood’s character was more popular than [Frank’s] for a period of time. So I capitalized on it. I was like, ‘You better pay me or I’m going to go public,’ And they did."

There are so many threads that have been started on streaming sites, it is difficult to know where to post!

If anyone has watched the very good season one of Bloodline on Netflix, I finally found that season two is starting.

Great series about a super dysfunctional family in Florida. It has suspense, drama, murder and everything you could sink your teeth into for some great binge-watching. It has a stellar cast with terrific acting.

From Deadline Hollywood:

Playing brothers on different sides of the law, Kyle Chandler and Ben Mendelsohn earned Emmy noms for the first season of the family drama set in the Florida Keys. Linda Cardellini, Sam Shepard, Sissy Spacek, Norbert Leo Butz, Jamie McShane, Jacinda Barrett and Enrique Murciano also star. KZK Productions and Sony Pictures Television produce for Netflix

The Netflix series’ 10-episode second season will premiere on May 27.

I watched the free pilot on Vudu this afternoon for Robert Kirkman's new series Outcast.

I was not familiar with the comic of the same name but it was good.

Creepy and a with kind of an Exorcist trope, but albeit, well done.

The pilot will be repeated on Cinemax June 3rd.

Posting info here in case anyone wants to stream it on Vudu now.

Grace and Frankie, American Dad, Columbo, Twilight Zone, Bob's Burgers, and Archer right now on Netflix. I just got Amazon Prime, so we'll see what's on there later. :D

[CyberStud]

Currently binge watching Rectify, Narcos, Sense8 and Wentworth. Looks like I'll be adding Bloodline to see what all the fuss is about! :blink:

[dark_crystal]

Binging TV series is like my favorite recreational activity now. I would rather binge a series than go to a restaurant, go dancing, or go to the movies

what can I say, I'm 46

"Bloodline" is GOOD

I forgot about "Wentworth!" Will add that to the list. I also have "The American"s queued up on Amazon video

Last week we binged "The Girlfriend Experience" but we didn't finish it. Not because it wasn't good, but because the episodes are only 30 minutes long at that was irritating. I am too lazy to have to click "watch next episode" more than once an hour

It is my job to always keep a list of potentially bingable series so I can distract Mr. Jenny from HGTV, which gets on my nerves lol

Currently binge watching Rectify, Narcos, Sense8 and Wentworth. Looks like I'll be adding Bloodline to see what all the fuss is about! :blink:

Great minds... Love all the shows you listed. Still waiting on a season 2 of Sense8 and the next season of Wentworth. Rectify is really good but I could not watch more than a couple at a time. It is pretty heavy drama.

Narcos was terrific. I still can't find when season 2 will stream yet.

I think that you will enjoy Bloodline.

Oh and Peaky Blinders is just terrific. They are showing season 3 in the UK now I read somewhere so it will stream on Netflix when finished...sometime in the near future.

I have posted about this before but if anyone has Amazon Prime, The Man in the High Castle from a Phillip K Dick story is terrific. There are around 10 episodes, if I recall correctly.

So many great shows and so little time.

Thanks for the recommendations, I've now scheduled both Peaky Blinders and The Man in the High Castle into my viewing timetable! :D

It seems like forever waiting for the next seasons to air but Narcos is back end of August and Sense8 in December. Wentworth fans will be happy to know it is back on, as of 10th May! Yippee.

I've read so many great reviews about Bloodline I'm sure I'll love it too. Dark_crystal, I share your love for binge TV as the stories and character development are so much better than a movie.

Also just finished watching two seasons of American Crime (not the OJ story!) but this one which I was glued to. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KRINHRoOip8/VcMHm1-qURI/AAAAAAAAAL0/11bq3LtaLyM/s1600/american%252Bcrime%252Bposters.jpg

Great thread!

I have been binge watching The Killing (On Netflix) and I highly recommend that. Also, The Man in the High Castle, Mad Dogs, How to get away with Murder, The Americans. These are only a few but a great way to get started!

[*Anya*]

Terrific series about a murderous English street gang, set in Birmingham in 1919, staring Cillian Murphy as the crime lord and the Inspector, (not a sterling character himself) out to get him (Sam Neil).

Peaky Blinders Renewed For 4th & 5th Seasons Amid Host Of BBC Drama Orders


The Shelby clan is set to return for two more seasons with Peaky Blinders receiving a double order from BBC Two. Season 3 is currently running in the UK with the epic crime saga created by Steven Knight and starring Cillian Murphy due to bow Stateside on Netflix on May 31.

There’s currently no word on Netflix’s role in Seasons 4 and 5, although it wouldn’t be surprising to see it follow suit on picking up the popular drama.

Each new season will be six episodes, all written by Knight. The Caryn Mandabach Productions and Tiger Aspect Drama series has a rabid worldwide fanbase, having sold in 163 countries via Endemol Shine International. It’s distributed by The Weinstein Co in the U.S.

Tom Hardy, Helen McCrory, Paul Anderson, Sophie Rundle and Joe and Finn Cole are among the returning cast for Season 3 which also adds Paddy Considine.

Exec producer Caryn Mandabach calls the renewals “a fantastic vote of confidence in the show and Steven Knight’s writing… We’re both proud of, and grateful for, the BBC’s continued support of the show.”

Knight adds, “I am genuinely thrilled at the response to the third series of the show. The prospect of writing series four and five is truly exciting. This is a real passion project for me and I look forward to telling more stories of the Shelby family.”

Murphy calls Tommy Shelby “one of the most intense, challenging characters I’ve had the opportunity to play. I’m particularly grateful that Steven’s original, dynamic writing and the long form series allow me to explore Tommy in depth. I very much look forward to Tommy’s evolution over the next two chapters.”

Amazon Prime has Veep with Julia-Louise Dreyfus.

I started watching Veep on HBO recently and laughed so much I looked for it on Amazon.

They have season 1 and season 2 free with Prime.

I have a femme crush on Julia.

I've also had to take a break from the bleak dramas like Bloodline...maybe because it's summer! But Veep O.M.G (as the kids say) it's like House of Cards on nitrous oxide. It's great to see satirical comedy done right. Who said Americans didn't get satire?! :sarcasmalert:

Thanks again Anya :goodpost:

Tonight I watched Take me Home.

It was a very good movie. It's been a while since I've seen anything decent

Peaky Blinders season 3 (holy crap!)


Holy crap indeed!

I just finished episode 5 of season 3. One more to go.

I don't know if you saw an older post that I made but BBC just gave the green-light for seasons 4 and 5.

Such a great series and Cillian Murphy is something else!

Such a great actor and blue eyes for days!

The tension was almost overwhelming!

What a series!!

I can hardly wait for season 4.

[Orema]

I streamed two episodes of Columbo (https://www.google.com/search?q=columbo&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari) that were really good. The first was with Patrick McGoohan (https://www.google.com/search?q=patrick+mcgoohan&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari) who was outstanding as the leader of a military school. The first few minutes were in total silence as we watched McGoohan set up the crime. McGoohan's acting and timing were impeccable to the point that I didn't want any dialogue--didn't want any distractions. The rest of the episode was pretty good, too. Really good acting by McGoohan.

The second episode was with Dick Van Dyke (https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&hl=en-us&ei=SyZrV8zdBcjIjwPzxKVI&q=Dick+Van+Dyke&oq=Dick+Van+Dyke&gs_l=mobile-gws-serp.3..0l5.61082.66958.0.67587.21.17.4.5.5.0.284. 2040.5j11j1.17.0....0...1c.1.64.mobile-gws-serp..1.15.1013...41j0i67j0i131j0i10.4cXUIJsnv8U) and I know he's a great comedian, but I forgot that he was (is) a good dramatic actor, too. He was really good as a resentful and bitter husband. And Larry Storch (https://www.google.com/search?q=larry+storch&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari) was in this episode as a driving instructor. I always liked Storch.

Peter Falk (https://www.google.com/search?q=peter+falk&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari) was good in both episodes, too. Some episodes were better than others, but these are two of the best in the series.

[stargazingboi]

I've been watching Crossing Lines. I stumbled across it really...it's not bad.

"Capt. Louis Daniel assembles a squad of European law enforcement officers to help battle the explosion of international crime that accompanied the opening of borders by the European Union. Daniel calls on an old colleague, Carl Hickman -- a former NYPD detective who resigned when an injury on the job left him feeling betrayed -- to lead the team of five young cops who will travel to exotic locations in pursuit of vicious and elusive criminals. To survive in their dangerous field, the team members must get past their varied backgrounds and work as one."

[cinnamongrrl]

I finally finished watching Revenge last night.

Awesome show. It was starting to dwindle in keeping my attention. The writing wasn't as good. I'm glad it went out while it was still decent.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Last Tango in Halifax. It's funny and touching in that British BBC way. I'm hoping it comes back for a 5th season.
MAJOR SPOILER ALERT!!!

They kill off one of the two lesbians as soon as they get married. It reminded me of the old days when, it might be okay to mention lesbians or gay men, but you can't let them have a happy ending. Arrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhh! But it was still a good series.

[cinnamongrrl]

Now that I've finished Revenge, I'm back to watching OITNB (I'm only on season 2) and I've begun Blacklist. James Spader could have a show where he just mows lawns in his boxers and I would be enthralled.

Great actor. Even greater voice.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

I just saw that season 12 of Grey's Anatomy is now on Netflix! I spent the entire summer watching the first 11 seasons - now I'm addicted. I just couldn't bring myself to watch it every week, though. (Yay for binge watching!)

I live/lived in Seattle and just could NEVER get into this show but glad others could and did!

Every show seems to do this, and I don't know why. :(

[*Anya*]

I live/lived in Seattle and just could NEVER get into this show but glad others could and did!

The GF loves this show (Grey's). I do not and could never get into it either. During the season, she watched it and I went upstairs to read.

Actually, the only hospital-based show I ever could get into and watched every week was ER.

Loved that show.

:nurseshot:

[stargazingboi]

I have just finished watching a documentary by PBS called The Civil War. I learned about the civil war in school and found it something of an interest to me over the years. I knew the numbers lost. I knew that it was this war that divided and ultimately united us. I understood that it was more than the abolishment of slavery.

However, this telling of the war, the narration of so many letters, poems, and with the pictures of that time. Leaves me with a new understanding...that leaves me nearly speechless.

[C0LLETTE]

I'm ashamed to say that I watched "Scouts and Zombies" on Netflix last night. I laughed my fool head off...bloody, sexist, dumb, predictable and I couldn't stop laughing ...there must be something wrong with me...or else maybe I found the perfect antidote to the sexist, predictable Presidential election.

I highly recommend it.

[Orema]

Just started streaming season 1 of Line of Duty through Amazon Videos—it's a British TV police series's with Lennie James (only in season 1, I think). I like him a lot. Have only seen a couple episodes. Will be interesting to see how season 1 turns out.

[gotoseagrl]

LOL ok I'm not alone ... I was ridiculously excited to see this too. So therapeutic to watch him again, as super cheesy as he is.


Bob Ross is on Netflix now!!!!! Woot! I love that man! So thrilled by that...lmfao...

[randrum]

I've been catching up on Grace & Frankie. So funny.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

I've been re-watching Queer As Folk. I noticed some time ago it was on Netflix. Well, let me tell you, the soundtrack has been changed. I did some Googling, and it seems the QAF people were unable to get all the copyrights extended to Netflix. It was particularly disappointing, as I found the original soundtrack so excellent! and every song was so carefully selected to fit each scene. Also, a lot of that music is the music of my crazy youth, so it transported me back to a time (if not exact experience) that I have very fond memories of. So anyway, if you have the opportunity to go back to DVDs to re-watch it, I highly recommend it.

I have deliberately avoided watching this show for several years, because I loved it so much. I watched it many, many times when it was first available. It seems amazing that it has only been 15 years, and things have changed so much socially and politically since then. Or maybe that's just my perception, but - it feels different. Maybe the difference is really just my age.

So it has been a long time since I've seen it, and I've noticed that watching it is a different experience now. (Spoiler Alert!) For instance, . . .
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
. . . when Justin and Ethan first get together and Brian doesn't know about their relationship: the first time I saw it, I thought, "No! NO NO NO!" and thought Ethan was an evil character. I was definitely on Team "Brian and Justin 4-ever!". But when I saw it this time, I realized the Ethan relationship was actually a good thing (whatever happens later). Justin is only 18, and he has grown tired of many things about his relationship with Brian. He doesn't have the life experience to deal with an 'adult' relationship successfully. Justin _needed_ a different relationship. Even better, Ethan was nearly Justin's own age, and in similar school and financial situations. Justin benefited by not only leaving Brian, but also by not just going out and finding somebody else similar to Brian (which an awful lot of my gay friends have done in the past).

Anyway, even though I have seen QAF many times, here I go again! I find myself rambling on excitedly about the plot like I did 15 years ago. Some things never change. Thank goodness.

[Orema]

I'm gonna watch an episode or two of Black Market (https://www.viceland.com/en_us/show/black-market-with-michael-k-williams) with Michael K. Williams.

[homoe]

Some actors are just that ACTORS! I mean Dustin Hoffman as an autistic in Rain Man...never bought it!!

However Michael K Williams is something much more, so much so, it's hard to even put into words! Right now he's also appearing in The Night Of on HBO and before that was on Boardwalk Empire, etc etc! Whatever role he takes on, he totally has me convinced he's that person, good or bad. :popcorn:

OH and I'm going to try to watch Big Stone Gap! For some reason, I just couldnt get into the book!

[Talon]

I've been watching a good BBC miniseries on Netflix called, 'North and South'...it's a period piece (which I always love).

[Orema]

Just starting True Detective, Season 2 with Colin Farrell and Woody Harrelson

[Liam]

Criminal Minds and Shanarra.

I'm on season 3 of Orphan Black on Amazon prime video. I likey.

Also watching the wire but it's slow going.

Lately I don't seem to have the attention span for shows. I mostly watch at the gym on the elliptical.

[Venus007]

Wentworth, Thank you Anya for introducing me to this series

[Mel C.]

The 100 on Netflix because I heard there was a lesbian character. She seems more bisexual to me, but I get to see 2 females kissing so that still works in my book.

Wentworth, Thank you Anya for introducing me to this series

I am glad that you like it!

12 episodes, too!

[GeorgiaMa'am]

(Spoilers ahead!) So I have made it to season 5 of QAF. I had forgotten the episode where Babylon gets bombed. Everyone is running around trying to find their loved ones, Michael's going to the hospital in an ambulance, people are freaking out - and I realized, "This is what it must have been like in Orlando recently with the shooting at the gay nightclub."

In my last post about QAF, I noticed how much some things seem to have changed since that show was made, even though it's only been a short while. Now I'm feeling the opposite - things are still the same. There are still hateful, selfish people trying to take away our rights, and there are still people who want to kill us.

I won't ramble on, it's all been said before. But I wanted to say that I think QAF is still so very relevant to the LGBT community, both as a group and individually.

Just binged the first season—eight episodes—of Stranger Things and it was excellent. Liked everything about it; the 80s time period, the casting, the storyline (even though I'm not keen on spook nor sci-fi), loved the "acrobat/flea" analogy, and the exploration of another dimension. Reminded me of other good films and tv shows. Good job by all.

Wondering what they'll come up with for season two.

:bow:

[Orema]

Just starting Queen Sugar. Looks good.

[Stone-Butch]

just watched another episode of the killing of JonBenet Ramsey. Now the argument is weather it was the father or the son of a junk yard man, Michael Helgoth 26? I still say dad but wait to see what the brother says on Dr. Phil on Monday.

[Liam]

Blacklist jumped to the top of my list when Netflix added Season 3.

[stargazingboi]

I stumbled upon "Very British Problems" I may not be British but I can relate...gave me a good chuckle

Just finishing up season 2 of Narcos on Netflix.

It is really good. I read they gave the green light for seasons 3 and 4.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

I just finished season 12 of Grey's Anatomy. I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get back into it for season 12, after having binged on the first 11 seasons this summer and then having a long break, but it was easy to get back into. Just like any soap opera, they give you plenty of "catch-up/reminder" scenes at the beginning of each show. I guess they have to with 12 seasons.

And season 12 was just as good as the first 11. Oh, it made me cry about every other episode! I don't even know why, but apparently I am just a sucker for Shonda Rhimes' worlds.

[cork1961]

One Mississippi... with Tig Notaro.

Love Tig, one of the funniest women on earth I think. Though this, so far, is pretty serious about her life these past few years.

[Allison W]

Streamed the latest episode of Steven Universe just last Thursday. This vine summed it up pretty well. (https://vine.co/v/5JBEUl23TAe)

I don't know about Pearl being the lesbian icon of the Millennial generation, as some have suggested, but I can see the argument.

today's schoolchildren don't know how good they have it with their openly gay shows on Cartoon Network

[C0LLETTE]

Finally saw The Revenant. Once I figured out who was who and accepted that it would have that sappy ending, i was ok with it.

[Jesse]

I just finished watching, The Life and Crimes of Doris Payne on Netflix - "This documentary tells the unlikely true story of a woman in her 80s who spent her adult life as a jewel thief, and who might still be at it." Directed by Kirk Marcolina in 2013. She's a hoot!

[C0LLETTE]

Just so y'all know: we Canadians pay the same as Americans for Netflix and get half the number of choices . Some "distribution" fees bs. So if I post films you all saw 10 yrs ago, you'l know why.

[Mel C.]

I caught season 4 of Wentworth...the best season so far in my opinion.

[cinnamongrrl]

My youngest got me started watching Last Man on Earth. It's wicked funny. I watched it to be polite and ended up watching 3 episodes in a row!

[aishah]

my most recent netflix/hulu picks have been 8.22.63, the path, and i'm itching to watch more of wentworth and narcos! waiting for internet to be installed on wednesday.

[stargazingboi]

I just finished watching Ladyboys: Inside Thialand's Third Gender on Amazon Prime

There was only 3 episodes from season 2.

I wonder, since Thialand is so open to transgendered MTF I wonder if they are just as accepting of FTM. They don't discuss it on the show and I didn't see any during their travels..nor can I find much about it online. I did however, notice that they do both sex re-assignment surgeries there and many of the Ladyboys talked about how a lot of people go to Thialand for surgery.

Anyway, I do wish there was more to watch because I liked they way they presented the stories and discussed Gender Dysphoria. Something I can fully relate too.

[Kelt]

New episodes of Longmire :cigar2:

[Stud_puppy1991]

On Netflix: Stranger Things, Orange Is The New Black, Trailer Park Boys, Cutthroat Kitchen, Good Eats, etc.

On Hulu: Raw Live, Smackdown Live, Rizzoli and Isles, Drake and Josh, Etc.

[Lyte]

Currently watching the following simultaneously...

Once Upon A Time <~ good for back ground noise while cleaning house. Cute.

Narco <~ wow, what an eye opener. Based on actual events. Lots of subtitles.

Penny Dreadful <~ just started this one today. I think it's similar to League of Extraordinary Gentlemen... but so far better.

[C0LLETTE]

Watched Marseilles with Gerard Depardieu ... then on to Narcos. Season one done and now on to season 2 ... Amazing how entertained you can be when you turn off CNN.

[Mel C.]

Season 1 of Transparent....good enough to make me want to watch season 2.

[Tucker]

Season 3 of transparent just came out so I have been glued to it.
I am also madly in love with scream queens and Hulu has the new episodes.

[Genesis]

On a sleepless Satuday night I decided to browse what was playing and came across this film.
I liked the title and decided to watch it. What a gem... Definitely worth watching...

Synopsis:The Space Between is a feature film written and directed by Travis Fine that premiered at the 2010 Tribeca Film Festival.
The film is a fictional account of a flight attendant who finds herself responsible for an unaccompanied minor on the morning of the September 11 attacks.
It has won three film awards.
It had its U. S. television premiere on the USA Network on Sunday, 11 September 2011, the tenth anniversary of the attacks.

[Liam]

Longmire Season 5 arrived, and I've really missed Walt, Vic and Henry, so I've been pretty focused on getting caught up.

[stargazingboi]

I just finished the last season of Penny Dreadful. I did enjoy how they put this story together..season 3 was the final season...damn shame, but I appropriate when a story finishes strong instead of fading sadly..if you know what I mean.

[JDeere]

Finally I get to watch Grace and Frankie.

And a whole collection of Forensic Files.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

I just finished Season 6 of the The Walking Dead. What a cliffhanger! Argh!

[stargazingboi]

I'm a big documentary geek...So, today I watched "Vintage Tomorrow" which discusses the different sub-cultures of steampunk and the political roots of the steampunk movement.

I didn't know much about steampunk really, outside of the music that didn't appeal to me and the Victorian fusion with mechanical gears and sci-fi. I didn't realize how complex it is and I found myself relating to some of it on several different levels.

[cork1961]

Game of Thrones, Orange is the New Black, Transparent, One Mississippi (Tig Notaro) all wonderful.

But I'm loving Stranger Things right now!

[Genesis]

This past weekend I finally got to watch "The Danish Girl"...
I am still processing the film as I am typing this...
I will be reading the book to get more of the backstory...
This film was so eloquently made and I loved that it turned my soul soil...
A lot to think about and ponder... what an amazing and brave woman she was...
What a wonderful portrayal true partnership, of unconditional love, loyalty, and honesty...
Lili and Gerda... just wow... I am in awe of such a fantastic couple, partnership, and best friends...

Watched Stone with Robert De Niro and Ed Norton.

m8W-paarh4s

This film is built on the premise that a retiring parole officer could be duped by a convict and his girl. Everyone can be folded, but I wasn't buying this. The con being played on De Niro was right out of the book and something a rookie Parole Officer would have easily spotted. I stopped watching after 30 minutes.

The acting was okay, but not good enough to keep me watching.

Binged on this yesterday and loved it. Puts a spotlight on the plight of black farmers, police brutality, family dynamics, interracial relationships, ballers and adoration—topics that interest me and explored in a way that presumes I'm not ignorant, doesn't piss me off, and doesn't make me cringe.

Good job done by Oprah Winfrey and Ava DuVernay.

Netflix's catalog has shrunk by a whopping 50% in the past few years

If you’ve felt like Netflix’s US catalog has shrunk dramatically since the company started making its own shows and movies, you’re absolutely right.

Since 2012, Netflix’s selection of titles has dropped over 50%, from roughly 11,000 titles to ~5,300, according to streaming blog Exstreamist, which cites multiple former Netflix employees.

Extreamist's sources estimate the height of Netflix’s catalog size was in 2012, before the company began making original content in 2013. They peg the size at around 11,000 movies, TV shows and specials.

Using that number, Exstreamist then compared the 2012 catalog size to Netflix’s current roster, using data from Unogs , a site that tracks Netflix data. The September numbers put Netflix’s count at about 5,300 titles in the US.

They found a huge drop of over 50%, and there’s a reason: “exclusivity,” particularly tied to Netflix’s original movies and shows.

The smaller, better future

Originals are a pivotal part of Netflix’s strategy moving forward.

"You should expect us to push toward more 50/50 in terms of original exclusive content and licensed content," Netflix CFO David Wells said recently. And original content isn’t cheap, especially since Netflix pushes for global licenses so it can play the shows and movies for people around the world. Netflix spent a reported $120 million for “The Get Down,” its Baz Luhrmann show about the origins of hip-hop, and a whopping $90 million for a new Will Smith movie.

All told, Netflix has said it will release 600 hours of original content by the time 2016 is done. That would take you 25 days to binge-watch all the way through. 25 days!

Beyond originals, Netflix executives have repeatedly stressed that the company is more focused on "exclusive" titles, in contrast to those also available on other platforms like Amazon Prime or Hulu. That's a recipe for a higher cost per-title.

The focus on originals, and exclusives generally, puts Netflix’s catalog drop into perspective. Netflix has fewer titles, but the company is betting that keeping its catalog full of shows and movies you can’t get anywhere else will get you addicted enough to pay that $9.99 every month, forever.

Netflix declined to comment.

ok..today I watched the Danish Girl and Me Before You


all I can say is wow...

[QueenofSmirks]

I've been binge watching New Girl (sitcom)
I also rewatched Searching for Bobby Fischer. Love that movie.

[Orema]

Have been watching Luke Cage. Really diggin' this super hero show. It's more violent than what I like, but I can hang because there are so many good things I like about this (cast, script, acting, humor, music, and some of the camera angles are too cool—just like the comic books.)

[stargazingboi]

Since, I don't have cable I have never watched RuPaul's Drag Race. I stumbled across it on my Amazon and watched a season. It made me laugh and think. So, I logged onto Logotv and started watching other seasons.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

I've been rewatching Star Trek Voyager. I think I only ever saw about half of them, so half will be new to me. Gosh, they're cheesy! But oh so good.

[Lyte]

Me too. I like the music at Cotton Mouth's club! Jazzy!

I like the background/atmosphere music, too. An episode I watched earlier started with a nice Nina Simone tune. Another episode closed with the Stylistics. Also had some nice rap music. Very nice.

[EnderD_503]

Have been watching season 11 of Supernatural that's just been put up on Netflix. Almost done watching it already lol I think the show has gotten better on character development over the years, especially Dean. But there are certain plot lines that I find have been over done and kind of hoping they've moved on to something fresher in season 12/in the future.

[lillith]

I have been watching Catfish and kind of think that I have had it happen to me.

[Liam]

The new season of Longmire did not last very long! I've started Sons of Anarchy, and I like it!

[homoe]

I have been watching Catfish and kind of think that I have had it happen to me.

There is a very interesting movie too Lillith by the same guy! Then it was spun off into a television series.

[lillith]

I haven't seen the movie yet, but the show is pretty interesting.

I am watching One Mississippi with Tig Notaro.

It is making me laugh, and at times, tearful. I also love that Tig is an out lesbian butch.

It is really good.

Amazon Prime.

From Wiki:

"...In November 2015, Notaro co-wrote, produced, and starred in a semi-autobiographical TV pilot for Amazon Video called One Mississippi.[17] The show received a series order from Amazon a month later.[18] The show will follow Notaro's character as she returns to her hometown of Bay Saint Lucille, Mississippi after her mother's unexpected death.[18]

Comedic style
On her approach to comedy (and if she considers herself a dark comic): "I'm always going to do whatever I think is funniest. If something's dark, I'll do it. If it's a sock puppet, if it's a stool, I'll do it. There's no preconceived idea of who I think I might be now."[4] Notaro said that since her cancer diagnosis, she has shifted not to darker comedy, but rather to personal comedy. Previously she was more distant and observational, but now she reflects on her childhood and her life.[2]

Personal life

Notaro sometimes discusses her romantic relationships in her act, but tries to maintain a level of privacy.[19][20][21] Notaro met her wife,[22] Stephanie Allynne, on the set of the movie In a World...[2][23] They became engaged on January 1, 2015[24] and were married on October 24, 2015.[25] They welcomed twins sons, Max and Finn, on June 26, 2016, conceived using Allynne’s eggs via a surrogate.[26]"

The new season of Longmire did not last very long! I've started Sons of Anarchy, and I like it!

I tried watching Sons of Anarchy when it first came out, and I thought the acting was so bad, I couldn't even get through the first episode.

[QueenofSmirks]

I've been watching Westworld on HBO; I have some nostalgic memories from watching the original when I was a kid. I'm also rewatching Boardwalk Empire; my interest was re-piqued (is that a word??) when I chose to write my final paper in one of my classes on the Chicago Mob. Al Capone is featured as a character on Boardwalk Empire, and he was the main subject of my paper.
I'm also still watching New Girl; I think I'm on Season 5 now. It's silly, but I love the show!

[storyspinner70]

My online daughter and I just started watching Black Mirror on Netflix.

We're also watching Supernatural, X-files and The Twilight Zone on Netflix.

We just finished American Horror Story. It started out amazing and went splat in the middle. Bleh.

We also watch Alien and Conspiracy Theory documentaries and series on Netflix cause she's a super tinhat and conspiracist.

I watch Penny Dreadful on Netflix and Bosch on Amazon Prime.

We're also watching Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction episodes on Youtube.

We also watch a ton of movies in various places.

[cinnamongrrl]

I started Longmire from the beginning since its been for ever. And because once is never enough with thAt man...*swoon*

I started watching The Crown and it was amazing and now at episode three my attention wandered and I'm left wondering who this coughing woman is...

Also gonna pick up Black List again and finally for the love of God see the second slash last season of Twin Peaks. After what? 30 years? Yeah. And people say I'm not patient. MANY people

[Jesse]

Yay! Empire is back after a 2 week hiatus due to the games.

I LOVE Longmire. The whole show is really amazing!! I miss it as I don;t have Netflix......:(

[Mel C.]

I watched a web series called Carmilla. It's on YouTube. It's about a college-age lesbian and her vampire roommate. Cute, not scary at all.

[cinnamongrrl]

I LOVE Longmire. The whole show is really amazing!! I miss it as I don;t have Netflix......:(

I love it so much I want to read the books! Awesome show! So sad next season will be the last :(

[*Anya*]

Black Mirror, now on season 3, Netflix.

Really terrifically creepy series.

It is a twist on the horrors that technology can bring.

It is a U.K. import.

I've been seeing it pop up. I'll have to check it out!

[deeds]

I love the fireplace on netflix :candle::candle:

[gotoseagrl]

I've been watching Dark Shadows on Hulu. And the other night we watched Sunset Song on Netflix. I'm picky and it was really good.

[Venus007]

Penny Dreadful

[homoe]

Watched Tallulah (2016) Ellen Page, Allison Janney

It was a bit quirky but I enjoyed it :popcorn:

[Lyte]

Catching up on Walking Dead and Ray Donovan.

[Liam]

Watched the final episode of Sons of Anarchy, and started Marvels Luke Cage. I was amused to see several members of the Son's cast, in Luke Cage. I love the lush colors, and the music too.

[stargazingboi]

I watched Carnivale season 1 & 2 this weekend along with "I Am David" which was a pretty good movie about a boy who escapes a work camp during the war and embarks on a journey to Denmark.

[stargazingboi]

Sea of Trees on prime...it's surreal...emotional...and very human

[cinnamongrrl]

I watched the movie Defiance the other day on Netflix. It's based on true events(during the Holocaust) which I like for the learning aspect. I didn't like either of the lead actors and it was still interesting.

[cinnamongrrl]

Oh I also started watching Shameless. It's one of my mother's favorite shows. It reminds me of an American version of Angela's Ashes. I just want to bash the father in the face the whole time. So I think I'll skip it lol

I tried Black Mirror. The first episode was amazing. The second not so much (IMHO) I May try the third to see if the momentum picks back up

[cinnamongrrl]

I don't know if it counts but I've been watching hoards of homesteading videos on YouTube. Some very cool stuff. One couple built their 800sqft cabin for 15k and live off grid on 11 acres. Very awesome. They have much knowledge.

[homoe]

Last night I attempted to watch Bag Man with John Cusack &, Robert De Niro. I ended up turning it off after roughly 45 minutes!

I then watched Trouble With The Curve which I enjoyed very much:movieguy:

[*Anya*]

I tried Black Mirror. The first episode was amazing. The second not so much (IMHO) I May try the third to see if the momentum picks back up

Try the 3rd season. I think it is much better than the first two.

My total favorite: “San Junipero" really, really, good, sweet and surprising

"Playtest" pretty good

“Shut Up and Dance” creepy but good

IMHO.

:)

[Tommi]

Eye on the Sky-- (Great tech stuff)

Col. Katherine Powell, a military officer in command of an operation to capture terrorists
:police:

[cinnamongrrl]

X Files baby! Loved the first 5 or so seasons...so happy to be revisiting some favorites and finding some I missed.

[Mel C.]

A web series called Starting from Now. That counts as streaming, right?

[cinnamongrrl]

I remembered how much I loved the show Bomb Girls. It's done production I think. I just hope it ended well.

[ravfem]

I tend to watch shows in a pretty critical way and with some cynicism. i'm always looking for inconsistencies in the filiming, even shows i end up really getting into. I stay pretty detached.

American Crime is blowing my fuckin mind. i am almost through the 2nd season. Watching the first season took me forever (which is odd for me because i'm soooo a binge watcher these days). i kept getting so pissed off and aggravated and irritated and and and... (how much redundancy can y'all handle?) For probably the first 4 or 5 episodes every time i'd stop Netflix i kept telling myself i wasn't going to watch any more. But then i would....and get all worked up over it again. i was talking to the tv. me. Talking to the characters. So silly. But omFg.

This 2nd season is hitting even closer to home. i cried tonight. Over a tv show! And not my usual, "oh how sweet," 15 second choke-up. i cried.

i keep telling myself it's just a tv show. It's scripted and the actors are playing pretend. But this shit is happening for real. The only time i've had such strong reactions watching something have been during (and after) a few documentaries. i'm just so blown away by it.

Here's the wiki article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Crime_(TV_series)) on it

[cinnamongrrl]

I started watching the Walking Dead on Netflix. The first episode where he gets on a bike and rides home was so much like a recent dream I had. And yet I've never seen this show. Its crazy.

I'm not much for zombie stuff but it's a pretty good show.

Netflix and the series is called The Crown.

I mainly watch documentaries on Netflix but house of Cards and the crown are the 2 I actually sit and watch during the day.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Daredevil on Netflix. (Only 1 episode left! but I can't stay awake long enough to sit through another whole episode tonight.)

I hope they will have a 3rd season.

I loved the Crown. I've now moved on to The Reign. Its incredible to see Megan Follows playing such a strong role. The only thing that puts me off is the music. Its very modern.

3%

Netflix has given a series order to the futuristic drama series “3%,” which marks its first original production shot in Brazil.

The Portuguese-language series hails from Boutique Filmes and Cesar Charlone, whose credits include cinematography on 2002’s “City of God.” It’s targeted to begin production early next year and debut in Netflix territories worldwide later in the year.

The project is described as a thriller set in a world sharply divided between progress and devastation, where people are given the chance to make it to the “better side” but only 3% of the candidates succeed. Joao Miguel and Bianca Comparato star.

“Ultimately, the series questions the dynamics of society that imposes constant selection processes we all have to go through, whether we like it or not,” Charlone said. Exec producer Tiago Mello praised Netflix for moving local production. The streaming service launched in Brazil in 2011.

“Netflix(‘s) willingness to invest in Brazilian content, local talent and creative storytelling is key for our growth as a industry,” Mello said.

“We look forward to working with such an acclaimed team for our first Netflix original production entirely shot in Brazil,” said Erik Barmack, Netflix’s VP of independent and local content. “We are confident that this fascinating premise will be widely enjoyed by our members internationally.”

Taking Chance

Based on a true story: "Kevin Bacon stars as a military officer whose life is changed after taking an assignment to escort home the body of a 19-year-old Marine killed in Iraq in this profoundly moving HBO Films drama."

It was as they described it..."profoundly moving" and cause for reflection.

I may not always agree with war, but I will always respect and honor those who serve. So, I say to you Chance Phelps and to all those who have served and those who continue to

..Thank You For Your Service

[Jesse]

I watched this a few months back. I agree, it is profoundly moving. I wish that all who serve/have served are treated with as much respect from their government and fellow citizens.

I caught this on PBS. Loved the trip back to a different era.

[cinnamongrrl]

I watched Twin Peaks to the end..finally. Ending sucked! I'm glad Showtime is doing a mini series. Hopefully it'll tidy up loose ends...

[stargazingboi]

In the past I have watched The Crown, Reign, and now The Tudors.

They are very well done...but, I have to say The Tudors is more descriptive with their depiction on the ways of torture and forms of execution, that it actually put a lump in my chest and throat.

I can not imagine living in that time frame or grasp the concept of how they justified their actions ...or lived with themselves after carrying out and witnessing such horror

[Amulette]

I too watched Reign, I thought it was a great story depicting such a sweet love. The story has an innocents and purity of heart (the leading characters) that I found charming.

I also enjoyed the Miss Fishers murder mysteries. A free-spirited woman with a wonderful sense of style.

Awhile back I watched Penny Dreadful A great story weaving in old horror themes in a most inventive steampunk sort of way. A great story with superb actors.

Today I watched Medici, another well-done period piece by Netflix.

Flesh and Bones

It's about "Claire Robbins, a transcendent ballerina, capable of reaching the sublime, but her inner torment and aspirations drive her in compelling, unforeseeable ways, especially when confronted with Paul's ping-pong fits of ebullience and rage"

Her back story is that she escaped an abusive situation to pursue her dream of dance, but, did she really get away? hmmmm still watching...not my typical story line to watch. However, it has grabbed my attention.

[*Anya*]

So glad to find it streaming today. Popped up with an asthma flare-up and it is a great distraction. On episode 5...

Let me make sure that I forewarn people the topic is highly sensitive and may trigger those who have lived with abuse whether emotional/physical/ sexual. It isn't as graphic as some other movies...but, the story line is clear and the topic very real.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

I started The Colony on Netflix. I'm three episodes in. I like it so far, it's pretty interesting. I think if you like The Americans or The Man in the High Castle, you would like this.

[cinnamongrrl]

God help me I started watching Grey's Anatomy again. And I popped in to watch OITNB again. Can't remember where I left off so I'm backtracking a bit. I'm trying to savor season 5 of Longmire since season 6 isn't out yet. Also still watching the Walking Dead but it's getting predictable. Which is why I can't watch House. I try to watch Bones but seems like I've seen every single one...I still get some Gilmore Girl action. Usually when I'm having a bad day and need a media hug

[stargazingboi]

I finally watched Argo...well worth the watch

I'm watching Arrow, and Flash Gordon.

My favorite is the Crown out of all these you mentioned.

I started watching Pretty Little Liars..

It's juvenile and I hate myself for liking it but...God knows I would've started watching it forever ago if I'd known Holly Marie Combs was in it.....

[Venus007]

Medici: Masters of Florence

Dustin Hoffman stars as Giovanni di Bicci de' Medici
It is very well done and lovely to look at

[C0LLETTE]

I watch anything with Vikings, Gladiators or Knights....gore galore. Now I'm getting ready for the Renaissance and some slightly less bloody cerebral backstabbing.

Yes, yes, I know they killed each other with pitiless glee but at least they did it under their cloaks in foggy cobblestone alleyways.

[Jesse]

Today I watched, Mr. Church. Cast includes Eddie Murphy, Natascha McElhone, Britt Robertson & Lucy Fry. For me, it was a very touching movie.

[C0LLETTE]

I've been binge re-watching The Sopranos. And watching Project Runway season 15. I'm almost done with both, so have to decide what's next on the list. I have so many shows saved in my queue!!!

I watched season one of The Crown and liked it. The series moved at a nice pace for me and I liked the seemingly honest portrayals of Prince Philip, Princess Margaret, and Winston Churchill. John Lithgow played Churchill and was outstanding, as usual. He'll probably get some awards next year.

I streamed Postcards From The Edge and thoroughly enjoyed it. Meryl Streep and Shirley MacLaine were good as usual.

I also have been watching season one of This Is Us and I like it. The storylines are different than what I'm used to seeing and the characters are believable. Looking forward to seeing how the season ends.

I'm not one to watch glbtqi movies but I watched Jenny's Wedding on Netflix.
