TV - What's your passion (NON-sports)?

[Warhawk]

I've already got Netflix, Prime, and Disney+. I'm not about to start spending more on Apple TV, etc., etc., even if there are some good shows available. I wish they would drop like 4/5 of the channels on Dish (man, is there a bunch of junk on all those packages) and add a few of these that people really would watch for the same price.

There was something else on Apple TV a while back I was interested in, but can't remember what now.

You get a year free of Apple TV when you purchase a new Apple device. Otherwise, it’s five bucks a month (unless you’re like me and already ensconced in the Apple ecosystem with the music/News/cloud/whatever plan).

you can also get a free seven day trial and cancel before the first monthly payment kicks in.

if I had to get rid of some of my streaming platform subscriptions, Apple TV would surprisingly be one of the last to go, mostly because, like I said, it’s just one part of the mega plan I’m paying for from Apple. (The first to go would probably be Peacock). Of course, I probably wouldn’t be using most of these services if I couldn’t just write them all off as a work expense.

Falcon and the Winter Soldier.....good tv.

Spoiler: Falcon & WS ep 4

Wow. Fantastic episode today. And that Dora Milaje fight was dope.

The John Walker character sure is interesting

Yeah, I'm curious as to where this goes next....

One of the most fun sci-fi shows in a while is Resident Alien on sci-fi. They just wrapped up season 1 but I'm sure it's still around binge

 

[dude12]

Watched the first episode of the new Prime series, Them. Very promising and then a twist at the end of the first episode. I mean this looks like it’s made by Jordan Peele but I don’t see his name attached to it at all. Just off 1 episode, I highly recommend it.

Not sure how Marvel was able to keep a certain casting choice under wraps until tonight but I legitimately jumped when perhaps

the greatest comedy actress

of her generation

showed up as Madame Freaking Hydra

They must have the same lawyer who drafts Beyoncé's NDAs on retainer.

I think this last episode was pretty well done. I'm really enjoying these Marvel series on Disney+, with Loki up next in a couple weeks.

Yes, I think the speech by

in the street with the Senators was extremely good. Damn good series

***mod edit - added spoiler tag for those who haven't watched it yet.

Mare of Easttown is excellent . Glad we came across it.

 

[Warhawk]

If I can humbly make a request - when listing a show you like, especially one that not everyone may know about, please list where you can see it (Netflix, Prime, etc.) to make it easier for others to hunt down. Thanks!

 

[dude12]

Mare of Easttown is on HBO max

 

[Tetsujin]

Back in the states to wait out the State of Emergency in Japan/to get vaccinated, rewatched Ted Lasso (AppleTV+) with my dad. Still holds up on a second viewing.

Also agree that Mare of Easttown is starting out real well. Sorta reminds me of a Pennsylvanian version of Broadchurch thus far but that was one of the best "murder mystery" dramas of the past decade so that's high praise.

 

[dude12]

The Handmaid’s Tale new season just dropped on Hulu. Probably my favorite series along with Ozark.

watched the first season and loved it, but then my Hulu subscription ran out. Need to re-up it

 

[Warhawk]

Just started watching GoT - I've read all the books but finally have HBO access to watch the show, too. Seem to be pretty faithful to the books so far (partway though Season 1 right now).

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Spoiler: NCIS: Los Angeles

Well, that would have been a perfectly acceptable series finale but, either way, at least I can finally stop hate-watching this show. No Neric = no interest.

 

[Tetsujin]

Mare of Easttown was another detective show that wound up outsmarting itself and pretty much throwing in one too many curveballs to end the story. Great performances all around and a great first 5 and a half episodes but hard to say they really stuck the landing.

On the other hand, Girls5eva and Young Rock were both delightful.

 

[dude12]

Have just started Vikings on Hulu. Was recommended to me and I also see the great rating it has. Looks good after 3 episodes. I like the lead, don’t know his name but he was in Raised by Wolves.

 

[Warhawk]

Decided to give Mr. Robot a spin and I'm kinda liking the first few episodes. Definitely has potential.

Yeah, I know I'm late to this one. Sue me.

You’ve managed to get a few episodes ahead of me, despite it being on my “must watch” list in excess of a year.

So, not as late as some.

 

[Tetsujin]

Thought I posted about it but I apparently didn't so I'll just say that Superman & Lois is probably the best non-animated Superman adaption since the Richard Donner movies.

 

[Sluggah]

Loved the first episode of Loki. Might be my favorite start to a marvel series so far…and the other 2 weren’t slouches.

It definitely peaked my curiosity on where they are going to go with this. Kind of a left turn in the whole MCU....at least for those of us who haven't really read the comics much and are just going off the movies.

So, I liked the second episode as well, but:

Spoiler

If Loki had regained his powers (which he did, as he exhibited as they entered the building and his drying himself off instantly), why didn't he use them to fight the variant?
