Agreed. Wifey and I finished binge watching it.

Watched Love-Death-Robots and it was....meh. Some of the shorts were okay but nothing exciting overall.

Starting Schitts Creek.

Binged PINE GAP yesterday and the day before. Another Aussie series, espionage. Slow pace but very enjoyable.

Have a few more episodes of the 2nd season of The Punisher. Kind of a weak story and could have probably been told in 8 episodes. But, can't get enough of The Punisher killing bad dudes! The new girl in the season has been pretty good, but her story is still a bit murky.

I didn't finish the first season, I lost interest in the story. I was thinking of trying season 2 to see if it's any better.

I loved the first season. The second felt really slow and drawn out, I wasn't hooked.

You probably won't like season 2 then as Shiza pointed out that it's a bit drawn out. Keep having to remind myself that it is a Marvel comic and that's why it tends to be a bit over the top.

I'm watching Blacklist, it's quite a way in though now. Although it can be a little cheesy I think it's quite an under rated show. RR is a great character.

Agreed, I’ve been watching it since it started way back when. Still enjoyable and I look forward to new eps each week.

I actually rewatched the first ep on Friday night.

I started watching Blacklist and for that matter Gotham when they were on the Network and was enjoying them, then a big pause and off to cable. I'd like to get back into it but I can't decide if I should start from scratch or try to find where I left off.....need to get more rum now.

Giving "Hannah" a shot tonight.

UncleWede · 04-02-2019, 12:41 PM

The Story of God is really picking up my interest. Morgan doesn't do JUST the local Christian beliefs, he moves around and compares/contrasts.

I'm finding that it's not really the journey, its the destination. I've been feeling that for the last 20 years or so.

I liked the movie. If the show is close it should be pretty good.

I'm more the learning type programming. I enjoyed this one.

The pilot I saw during the week of the Super Bowl left me thinking this had potential but it has been a bust for me. Couldn't even finish the second episode.

I'm in the same boat. I wanted to like it, if follows the movie pretty closely, and maybe that's to establish a connection with the original but I find it not working for me after about 3 episodes.

Soul_Glo · 04-03-2019, 01:31 PM

Finished watching The Good Place. Not bad. Started out a bit boring but many interesting philosophical perspectives within... makes you question life too but watchable.

UncleWede · 04-03-2019, 04:17 PM

So, now that CBS has added "The Twilight Zone" to all-access, I may have to fork out some cash. Anyone seen?

Captain Blood · 04-04-2019, 10:00 AM

I gave up on Hannah last night. Big holes in the plot, and unrealistic action (5 or 6 clips from automatic machine guns from less than 100 feet can't hit a car? A guy outrunning 5 vans for over 200+ yards?)

While waiting for "Killing Eve" this weekend and GOT, we're going to try "Traitors" on Netflix tonight.

No, same boat. Had hesitated to pay for it, but likely switching to DirecTV Now or Apple's thing soon so don't mind adding it now that they're getting some good content.

UncleWede · 04-04-2019, 10:26 AM

Racing thru KnighFall and Badlands. Badlands is just great for the choreography. I almost turned it off last night though when Baige somehow ignited that Cougar

At least it was a 69 and not a 70

FYI. You can watch the first episode of the new Twilight Zone - "COMEDIAN" on youtube for free. Accidentally discovered it last night and the first episode was awesome. I was too young when the original came out so not sure how it compares to that but in my opinion it was a great first episode........

I didn't think I would like Badlands....but I'm thoroughly enjoying it!

The basic story is ages-old: Power Corrupts. Now, having people fighting just beyond the limits of reality is a stretch, but they keep it near enough that WWF patrons can stay on the edge of their seats. Heck, if Hulk can body-slam Andre, the widow can run a stair railing in 6" stilettos
