The new Jimmy Carr special was great. He has so many jokes, I find it impressive that he can remember his set as they are pretty much all one liners.

The Freddie Prinze Jr. of Netflix. 2 million views already haha

 

[nitewulf]

Just finished the second season of The OA, really good I thought. But they better close it up in the next season.

I liked OA. But damn OA s2 is stepping up to the plate. Maybe becoming as good as stranger things?

I really wish that Japanese Love Wagon show would be translated better.
Japanese text all over the damn screen but only the audio is subtitled.
Impossible to watch that show.

I just got to an episode featuring a certain creature from the ocean - wtf is even happening.

I really like Karim though, he's an excellent addition to the cast.

Am I right in thinking Love, Death + Robots is only 1080p with Dolby vision? Cause I've been trying to play it in 4k and it wont go above 1080p. I've tried plugging a ethernet cable in too and it still wont whilst everything else goes to 4k just fine.

I haven't watched it yet but here is some content that supports hdr but is only 1080p. I think mostly their anime?

Our Planet, hype!

 

[Grahf]

Watched 8 episodes of Love Death Robots, I hate it so far.
Episodes are way too long for their own good (except one of 5 minutes, which I liked), the visual style range from "terribly ugly" to "barely tolerable", and most episode contains gratuitous nudity that brings nothing to the story.
I would have been ok with the slog if the visuals were enjoyable but so far I got ugly anime, uninspired 3D and dull colors.
I''ll still watch the rest since every episode seem to be stand alone.

Last week I finished season 3 of The Last Kingdom, I really appreciated it bare some details :

Spoiler

- Uthred of Bebanburg : Strong, arrogant, dependable, a very interesting character on most aspects... Until you realize he thinks with his cock and each time it costs him greatly.
- Aethelwold (something like that) : What a TERRIBLE villain. Been plotting openly since the very first minutes he's introduced in the show, would backstab anyone for a crown and yet inexplicably escapes death on numerous occasions despite his treachery, lies and poisoned tongue of epic proportion. At least we're done with him.
- Alfred : Uthred saved his kingdom almost each episode : spying, scouting, winning crucial battles against the Danes, taking important strongholds while outnumbered, saved the king's children one more than one occasion (that should fucking count for something !!) and basically being Alfred's kingmaker. Yet on more than one occasion Alfred marks him for execution and brands him a traitor with nothing more than suspicions... WOW.
And when the aforementioned Aethelwold is brought to justice, it costs him one eye before he can go back to his plotting but now with a grudge. Brilliant.
I'll miss him for some things but globally happy to not have to witness his fluctuating mood again. The queen's detestable but constant in her thinking at least.

Seing the SAME characters do the SAME mistakes season after season was becoming tiresome, but with the decks now shuffled once more I have big hopes for next season.

 

[LL_Decitrig]

I liked the Three Robots episode of Love, Death and Robots, the one where they end up talking to a very self-assured cat. I would probably watch a series pilot with those characters. I tried a few other episodes in that series and didn't get the same spark. Please tell me if I've missed some much better episode. Maybe I was just lucky in choosing that one.

 

[GK86]

Our Planet is fucking gorgeous.

 

[brainchild]

Just finished Marcella...HOLY SHIT what a batshit crazy show that was!

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think it's a much better show than Luther, and Luther is one of me all time faves. I NEED season 3, STAT!

EDIT:

Oh yeah, can't forget to mention this absolute banger of a theme song



Cant't stop listening to it!

Not too many hot impressions of the show in the thread:

I will give it a try since I want a zombie fix and have given up on TWD (and didn't like Z-nation).

I haven't given up on TWD but the story arc I am in the middle of is a bit long.

So far I am liking black summer due to the focus on storybits that TWD ignored almost entirely.

Kim's Convenience S3 is weak.

S1 explored real issues of being an immigrant [Korean] family, but S2 (outside of a couple scenes near the end of the season) and S3 could be any generic situation comedy with any generic characters (I quit my job for another that fell though, now I have to pretend to go to work until I ask for my old job back from my love-triangled boss; my roommate's girlfriend isn't paying rent although she's always around; I can get a better price on a dishwasher through price-match fraud... all played without any interesting perspective apart, false accents notwithstanding). The show started off as something far more poignant than Fresh Off the Boat, but now it's only suited for background filler now, if that.

Having more Mr. Mehta is about the only positive feature of this season.

If you haven't watched One Day At A Time (remake), that would probably scratch that itch. A Netflix sitcom about a Cuban-American family, exploring tough social issues. 'Poignant' definitely fits.

But don't be put off by the (not great) first scene.

 

[metalslimer]

Special season 1 was such a nice surprise. Really touching series that could have been much longer but I liked the bite size content

 

[Maker]

Forgot that I tried episode 1 of Babylon Berlin back when it came out and then got sidetracked. I just started it up again and its amazing.

 

[LL_Decitrig]

I watched Stranger Things Season 1, which was okay if not exactly riveting. I'm slowly plodding through the initial episodes of The OA. Not really sure I think that's worth it.

The most compelling television I've watched recently is Killing Eve. I'm sad to say I have little confidence in the likes of Netflix to deliver television shows of such calibre.

Some random viewer data provided today:

"Over the next several months, we're going to be rolling out more specific granular reporting — first to our producers, and then to our members and of course to the press over time — and be more fully transparent about what people are watching on Netflix around the world," Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos said in Tuesday's video interview.

In Tuesday's letter to investors, Netflix said that more than 52 million subscribers watched "Triple Frontier," a big-budget action movie starring Ben Affleck, in its first four weeks of availability, and that the series "Umbrella Academy" was watched by 45 million member households in its first four weeks. It said that "The Highwaymen," a film starring Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson, was on track to attract 40 million subscribers in the first four weeks, documentary "FYRE: The Greatest Party That Never Happened," was watched by 20 million subscribers in its first month, and documentary series "Our Planet" was on track to be watched by 25 million members in the first month of release.

Guys I need some good suggestions. I have a lot of free time here in the next 2 months. Movies and series... give em to me. I recently watched happy and really enjoyed it. I also watched altered carbon and enjoyed it.
