GOOD on Netflix STREAMING?

Better Call Saul, season 2 just released. Should be done with it by the weekend.

TPB was on my phone last night as I rode my exercise bike. Got in two episodes of last season. It's still as F'ed up as ever. They swear an awful lot on that show.

Julian had his alcohol taken away and it was funny to see him walking around with his hand up and no glass in it. He's doing all kinds of things with the other hand, but out of habit, his drink hand is just held out there even though there is nothing in it.

Randy is grosser than ever. They have him pretty much naked in most scenes right now. And sweaty.

Oh well, at least they aren't throwing jugs of P!55 at each other...

So I am watching 100 on Netflix, Defiance on Amazon Prime, and reading the Post Human series all at the same time. At first, I didn't think they had anything to do with each other except being Sci-Fi but it is really weird how they are suddenly all converging around the same topic.

I must have missed the science fiction part of 300

did Xerxes have aliens in his army?

squads of Terminators armed with plasma rifles in the 40-watt range?

LOL! Fixed it.

I hate that Netflix has switched from the star rating system to a thumbs up/thumbs down system. What are they thinking? Sometimes I take the time to look at ratings outside of Netflix before I try a show out but it's a pain to do it every time. I thought the old rating system was pretty decent.

Better Call Saul, season 2 just released. Should be done with it by the weekend.

I just finished season 2 of Breaking Bad (yeah, I know I'm way behind) Saul Goodman is one of my favorite characters. "You don't want a criminal lawyer, you want a *criminal* lawyer"

I figure I should at least watch season 3 of BB before starting Better Call Saul?

 

[GrogNerd]

I suggest finishing Breaking Bad before starting Better Call Saul

the very first scene of BCS starts with the presumption you've finished BB

 

[rhys333]

Agree. You MUST watch BB first!

 

[hopkincr]

S'All good, man!

I'm incredibly jealous that you still have what I consider the best TV series ahead of you to enjoy. Don't rush through it - BB is incredible and once it's over TV is all downhill

My wife started watching BCS without watching any of BB. (she asked me who Jimmy McGill is) I told her it's not going to make any sense.

Also I told her he changed it to Saul Goodman because it sounded better (more Jewish) and the show didn't say if there was more to it than that -- that might come out later in BCS. I think that's mostly right.

Also his name was chosen because 's'all good man!

I just started season 2 of The Last Kingdom. Season 1 was really good.

 

[arturo7]

I binged BCS in 2 nights.

 

[nDub]

I enjoyed "Kubo and the two strings"

 

[arturo7]

Anyone else not a fan of the new rating system? Thumbs up or down is bs. It's not a black or white world.

Yeah, I just mentioned that a few posts back. If anything it should have more nuance, not less.

 

[bleme]

I just finished The 100. I was not a fan of Season 2, but Season 3 more than made up for it.

 

[Homercidal]

This is on my to-watch list. Not really even sure what to expect. I don't want to know too much going in.

I may have to upgrade my Netflix account to UltraHD/4K just to watch this movie... the animation/cinematography looks amazing

 

[GrogNerd]

oh, and also: The BigHair & I just finished the first season of "Love"

funny, with interesting characters who aren't despicable human beings

I blame "Seinfeld".

I still will watch "Shameless", because Emmy Rossum, but I couldn't take "It's Always Sunny"

 

[HoppyDaze]

Louis CK 2017 is incredible.

 

[Mainer]

Totally different thing, but has anybody talked about Santa Clarita Diet yet? It has a disorienting way of lurching from suburban sitcom to over-the-top Tarantino violence without warning. The result is unnerving, but hilarious. I didn't believe some of the things I caught myself laughing at.

I watched just the first episode a few weeks ago. Didn't like it much but it has potential. It's still on my watch list but I may not get to it for a while.

Yeah. We watched the first episode, and after that final scene my wife just looked at me blankly:
Her [after a pause]: "What the F--- was that!?"
Me: "I know. Weird."
[Pause]
Me: "So... want to watch another?"
Her: "I... think so?"

It was worth it.

They should also have a "not interested" button, like they do for their DVD's. I get tired of scrolling through the same crap they keep trying to push. It also really ticks me off when they don't produce the "Continue Watching" ribbon at the top of the page.

Finished Season 2 of Legends of Tomorrow last night. I was less than impressed with the first several episodes of Season 1 and quit watching it for quite a while but Season 2 was much better.

My only issue with Season 2 is there is one episode that doesn't fit in at all, with Super Girl, Arrow and Flash. It starts in the middle of something and I'm guessing one of those series acted as the lean-in when it was broadcast.

Schitts Creek is pretty dvmned funny.

 

[hopkincr]

I second Schitt$ Creek. Roland Schitt is great.
