GOOD on Netflix STREAMING?

Westworld's only on HBO Go correct?

That's where I watched it. Well, except for the first episode, which somehow magically showed up on my media server one day...

But yeah, after seeing the first episode, I loaded HBO Go on the Roku players and pulled it up. There are a couple of other shows on there I thought looked good.

Watched the first episode of The Larry Sanders show, from way back in my childhood. Wow there is some funny, classic stuff on that show!

We're a little over halfway through Luke Cage as well. I heard someone at the beach complaining about the miniscule white people quotient and I thought they were joking until I listened a little longer. Seems appropriate from what I've been told of the setting so I'm not sure why people would be butthurt over it. My one complaint is the gentle lob over the plate fishing for a Shaft reference and they totally whiffed and blew it when given the opportunity. Totally annoyed by that one point.

As for the "slow" aspect. It took me several attempts to get through Jessica Jones but once I started good I trudged all the way through. Daredevil I enjoyed a bit more but the first season was far more painful than the second which was fantastic. Honestly I expect no less out of Luke Cage when all is said and done.


Beyond that, we've backtracked for Dexter (the wife got more into it this time)... Threw in a sprinkle of "The Newsroom" as well. I don't agree with some of the nonsensical slant at times (it is from HBO to be fair so that's to be expected) but it's extremely well written from what we've seen of it and is a fairly enjoyable watch. We were looking for a shorter option (sub 30m) that creates no heartburn if we fell asleep during the episode. Thought maybe "Scream" (series) might stand in for that but it turned out to be fairly annoying and unusually long to boot.

Rectify is another good one. Slow burner, Southern Gothic, worth a look!

Full disclosure : my snark about white people on Luke Cage was trolling a bit; show is set in Harlem... who the hell else would be in the cast of characters?

Plus, I was totally mocking those who cry about White Hollywood & bitch about Oscar So White

I didn't take offense but I heard the exact same sort of thing out and about which is why I brought it up. My take on it was pretty much identical though. Have no made it through all but the finale. I am kind of disappointed in the writing compared to the other shows though I'm told I just do not get "get it" by some of my colleagues and maybe that's true. I do think it has been decent to pretty good and if my enjoyment of the 2nd season of Daredevil as compared to the first is any indicator, there are very good things to come from it.

That said, I kind of felt like he was being setup to be a pivotal character in the JJ series which would somewhat match the comics. The cynical part of me can't help but wonder if it's not more of a placation series though. Still, it does feel good to get some enjoyable entertainment out of what I pay monthly for Netflix so I guess my complaint is more of a whisper than outrage.

PS and mainly just because it made me laugh to think about re'reading... In sane person land there is no chance Luke Cage is given an Oscar. But if he did, would he crumple it into a ball?

I noticed the slant in Luke Cage, but that doesn't honestly bother me. The Urban aspect is fairly foreign, so I have no real sense of perspective. But I thought the story moved slow. Really trudged at times. The production and acting is pretty good, though. I'm not sure at this point if it's going to get back into rotation. I've got a few other things to entertain me right now.

Ash vs Evil Dead is coming back soon.

EDIT: Correction. It's Back already! I watched a few minutes of a preview show and thought it was still yet to premier.

the BigHair is a Bruce Campbell fan & loves Evil Dead (we saw The Musical off-Broadway, even paid extra to be in The Splatter Zone&#8482.

we watched 2 episodes of Ash vs Evil Dead and she doesn't like it

I don't understand why not

I can see that. It's even campier than the old movies and whatnot. (I haven't seen the play) It's almost as if they are making a parody of the original stuff.

I love it. Just saw Lee Majors in an interview talking about when he was filming as Ash's dad. Nobody warned him about the blood. He was wearing a "blood belt" and when they shot it off to emulate someone getting cut in half, he said it went right in his eyes and up his nose.

They budget the blood on that show by the gallons. It's all cheesy and campy brainless humour. Well, sometimes there's brains...

I am making my way through Hell on Wheels. Pretty good story centering on the rise of a former Confederate soldier in the railroad business in the post-Civil War West. Similar to Deadwood but more explicit focus on race and gender issues in that era. Really good ensemble cast. Five seasons available on Netflix for bingeing!

HoW is frikkin great!

"It's So Easy and Other Lies" Duff McKagen doc about his days with G'nR.

10 Cloverfield Lane

Wow. You have to see this. What an awesome movie. Crosses over many genres. Had me hooked the entire way through.

Gilmore Girls: Year in the Life is streaming on Netflix now

and normally, I would have turned in my ManCard for that, but we watched it on my brand new 60" 4K Smart TV



by the way, anyone interested in a non-functioning Panasonic 52" projection HDTV? weighs a ton

I'm sure its been mentioned but Penny Dreadful is great. Right up there with Peaky Blinders.

I binged the first two seasons and now I'm rationing the third season so I can watch it on the treadmill in the morning.

Someone did recommend it. I checked my Netflix and unfortunately its not on there in Canada.

I figured. I was just too lazy to go back and find it.

Maybe its on DVD?

My wife marathoned that and I saw bits and pieces. I actually found myself enjoying it, as much a I hate to say.

Lauren Graham was a tasty dish back in the original run, plus she's a home-girl, grew up around here

so did Patton Oswalt, but he's never been a tasty dish

Just finished Containment on Netflix. Pretty decent show.

I can't believe this thread is still going! I remember when it first started. This was my go to when wanting Netflix suggestions!

I'm currently watching That 70's Show when I want to watch something short and watching Lost when I have more time.

I feel like Lost lasted about 2 seasons too long but I still enjoyed it for the most part.

For those into crime shows, I've really liked Luther and The Fall. Both released a new season recently.

Watched Spaceballs! on Thanksgiving. Not even sure how it came up, but the kids and I started quoting lines, and then somehow the Blu-Ray got put in the player and we watched the whole thing.

I think the rest of the family decided that was preferable to me reciting the entire movie from memory.

Just started Season 3 of Black Mirror. Very very dark dystopian satire. Seasons 1 & 2 were great. Off to a good start.

Just finished Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell, pretty good show. Goofy type magic. Only one season, hopefully they'll make more.
