Re: Television (no longer temporary)
That's what I did, though last weekend was my shitty weekend, I guess. You have a week left to start the trial.
I'll probably give Discovery a try while I have it for another 3 weeks.

Re: Television (no longer temporary)
My wife is pretty hard core. I am pretty sure she has seen all the episodes of all the serieses, except maybe the original. I watched DS9 all the way through when it was first aired, and we rewatched a lot of the series a few weeks ago when it was marathoned. We watched and enjoyed Picard, though I agree with all of Rass's spoilers.
And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.
Re: Television (no longer temporary)
I just came up with a million dollar idea for a TV show. Now I just need a network to pitch it to.

Re: Television (no longer temporary)
Has anyone listened to the new Wire podcast from The Ringer? I've never watched the show and am two episodes in. It sounds like the podcast is one episode at a time, but I'm still scared of spoilers. I think it'd be fun to watch and follow the podcast at the same time.

Re: Television (no longer temporary)
Brian, your response to DirecTV gifting me Sunday Ticket Max for this coming season about them trying to keep subscribers due to cord cutters was spot on. It was reported today that AT&T has lost almost almost 900K subscribers across their their pay TV platforms in the first quarter of 2020.

Re: Television (no longer temporary)
It depends on how you feel about spoilers. I would personally would watch the show first and then go back. If you can reasonably cruise through the show itself, it's not like the podcasts are going anywhere either. One of my all time favorite shows.Giff wrote: ↑Thu Apr 23, 2020 4:45 pm Has anyone listened to the new Wire podcast from The Ringer? I've never watched the show and am two episodes in.

A 6-part mini-series that built and built so well. But I can not stress how awful the ending was. Just terrible.
Do not bother,

"Bad Education" on HBO is really good.

Re: Television (no longer temporary)
Yeah, "Dave" is getting better. They've had a couple really well-written episodes. I did see a commercial for next week's episode that makes me a little leery, but it's hopefully just me.DSafetyGuy wrote: ↑Sun Apr 12, 2020 10:32 amThe episode that revolved around GaTa and his past was phenomenal.
The end of the episode (*last three minutes or so) with Bob and Sharon Mill was also top-notch.

It was great. It really felt nostalgic to have the whole family in one room watching something other than sports live.

Re: Television (no longer temporary)
We never watched and just started a few nights ago. I will post my very important opinions at the end of each season.
Re: Television (no longer temporary)
I'll get out ahead of this. Entertainment 720 is a poorly run business and that fact comes to light.

Re: Television (no longer temporary)
I got way too teary-eyed at Parks and Rec.
Same with Trisha Yearwood's Southern Kitchen this morning. Jason Isbell and Amanda Shires were on and, spoiler alert, there's a song about their daughter on the new album and it got dusty quick.

Re: Television (no longer temporary)
Got the wife a new phone and it came with a year of Apple + tv. Figured what the heck.
Goodness there's not a lot of stuff that looks very interesting. Anyone have anything that they'd recommend?

Re: Television (no longer temporary)
Heard good things about the Beastie Boys doc and Little America. Have seen neither, would consider a trial just to watch the first one. And I think I read somewhere that Little America is streaming for free.

Re: Television (no longer temporary)
I read a review of the Beastie Boys doc that used the word "joyless". I have a couple of friends who had opposite opinions on it, as well, with the superfan basically coming down on the side of "it's the Beasties, it's good" and the regular fan being less impressed.

I really, really liked BlackAF. Has a little BoJack Horseman DNA.

We finished it in two nights. I don't think it was necessarily an incredible show, but the lead dude and Rashida Jones were great.

He's Kenya Barris. He was playing himself. So I liked the whole meta aspect of a dude worth $75 million playing a rich asshole.

I liked how he kept calling his daughter and wife "dude." He's the creator and exec producer of Black-ish, Mixed-ish and Grown-ish.
Also, the daughter doing the interviewing is drop dead gorgeous. She's on another show on Hulu with Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington called Little Fires Everywhere, which is quite good.

Re: Television (no longer temporary)
I'm watching it at the same time as Curb and the similarities with the dad and Larry are great. It's a rare show where I'm actually laughing out loud.
How is Little Fires Everywhere? I really enjoyed the book.

Wife read the book and she likes the show a lot.
It's slightly overwrought, especially Kerry Washington's role... But it's overall pretty solid. The kids are REALLY good and carry a lot of it.

Re: Television (no longer temporary)
We decided to sign up for the CBS streaming service so we could power through 'Picard'. About 4 episodes in, and we like it pretty well. Its always fun to see Patrick Stewart do anything (see his twitter feed where he's been reading a Shakespeare sonnet a day), and its well done. But its hard to follow the plot sometimes, and I've already taken to calling the Alison Pill character 'Dr Exposition'.
Re: Television (no longer temporary)
And my potato chips post reminded me that we finally watched the Parks and Rec special last night and it was warm and beautiful and funny.

Re: Television (no longer temporary)
BlackAF had the joke that gave me the biggest laugh in at least a couple of years also.
Which I felt bad laughing at honestly and then thought fuck it and then decided to just go with it.

Brilliant. His stuff is absolutely the best when it's in this uncomfortable but undeniably funny/true space.

Re: Television (no longer temporary)
Apologies if it has been discussed but searching Uploaded brings a shitload of random shit up.
Anyways, it's a REALLY good show. The lead actress is easy to look at, which is just a bonus. Cool and slightly disturbing premise: You can "upload" your brain/memories/etc to live in a virtual afterlife. Huge catch is that it ranges from super nice (uber expensive) to really grim (dirt cheap.)
Anyways, it's on Amazon Prime and is a Greg Daniels jam, so... Well worth your time.

Re: Television (no longer temporary)
I was wondering if this was worth watching. Keep seeing trailers and it looks like an interesting premise, but it seems like a show with a thin margin between being great and cheesy.Nonlinear FC wrote: ↑Mon May 11, 2020 2:48 pm Apologies if it has been discussed but searching Uploaded brings a shitload of random shit up.
