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

Kelt · 02-02-2020, 03:45 PM

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.

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?

You may want to check out Hulu TV. I think you can stream it on Hulu for about 6 bucks a month.

Tyler Perry's Fall From Grace.......

Boy it was good..

Orema · 02-11-2020, 11:19 AM

Watched a few episodes of The Morning Show on Apple TV and it was better than I expected. It looks like Matt Laurer is the model used for one of the show's co-host (and I'm surprised that it hits so close to home). I like seeing what goes on behind the scenes of a morning show. It's something to watch if you don't have much else to so.

Also watched a few episodes of Better Call Saul after reading a New York Times review and this, too, is better than I expected. I liked Breaking Bad and thought this was a repeat, but it's not. It's more thoughtful (i.e, slower and not afraid of long silences) and, IMO, more interesting. Will stick with it for awhile.

Still glad I got rid of cable tv. Am able to catch a simulcast of CNN, MSNBC, and C-SPAN on SiriusXM, but I'll get rid of Sirius when they jack up the price after this introductory offer.

I really like The Rookie. Orema's right; you should be able to find it cheaper than that but I'd definitely look for it. They touch on a lot of relevant topics.

I really enjoyed Man in High Castle (revisionist history if we had lost WWII) on Prime. Plus they have some good BBC stuff.

Me too! I've watched a few episodes and it's interesting.

Last night, I got hooked on Zumbo's Just Desserts. I love Australian and New Zealand accents so this is my jam. I binged the whole 2nd season.

charley · 03-17-2020, 05:36 PM

I just finished watching the final installment of Star Wars (release through Disney+): The Rise of Skywalker (2019) - I loved it.

I will miss seeing Daisy Ridley as Rey.

On Acorn we watched Season 1 of Blood which was good, but now we're on to season 2 which is even better!

Caught HBO's first episode of The Plot Against America which starts out promising!

charley · 03-17-2020, 08:24 PM

I just watched the first episode of season 3 of Westworld (HBO release). Most excellent, and really intense. YESSSSS!

I watch films while the world goes to hell. I kinda feel like Nero, only I didn't create this mess, nor have I contributed to this mess - I never was a part of the establishment!

I can really understand Dolores for wanting to burn down the "real" world - the writers who thought up this script - as I am fed up of watching Trump & the privileged class caring more about the economy ($$$) than the poor sods who are gonna suffer from his materialistic selfishness. He is throwing pennies at people to get their support (smh). One cannot put a monetary price on the life of one single human being. I wonder how this TV series will develop.
