The Netflix/Hulu/Prime Thread

Is anyone else watching Mr Robot? The last two episodes have been really, really good. The twist at the end of the most recent one got me pretty good.

I've been watching it, but I haven't seen the latest season since I don't watch cable.

[behndy]

This new Punisher series is seriously hardcore.

I tried watching Ozark last night at work. It would be a lot easier to enjoy if there wasn't an obnoxious dark grey filter on absolutely every single scene. I get that they want it to be tense and gritty, but it just feels like I need to turn the screen brightness up and gets really exhausting to watch.

I'd ask someone to explain what is funny about Seth Rogen, but I realized it's just not my thing. So...why. Also, I imagine his dumb ass scoring the laugh track with his own annoying chuckling.

Seth Rogen didn't write it, he just executive produced it and directed one episode. Which I think essentially means he just put his money and backing to getting it made.

I watched the whole thing. It was entertaining, but I'm not going to bat for it or anything. Humor is subjective, I found some of it funny and some of it tiresome. In the end though, I will just watch pretty much anything sci-fi related, especially anything time travel. I think it took those aspects more or less seriously, just with very over the top absurd and dirty humor. I would still watch it if it were completely seriously and had none of the pop culture references/humor. They really push the cheeky meta pop culture reference stuff, which is not my favorite thing, but I did enjoy some plot driven elements they did with it, if not the grossout humor focus of a lot of them.

I did kind of enjoy the James Cameron episode/jokes though, if I'm being honest.

It might be nostalgia, but from Freaks and Geeks to Superbad and Pineapple Express etc. Rogen and his buddies like James Franco, Bill Hader, Jonah Hill, Michael Cera, etc. were a big part of my early teens. They bring comfort in a way I guess. Also they're hilarious, but humour's subjective of course.

Have you seen Why Him? I went in thinking it was going to be terrible and I generally can't stand cringe humour, but I actually laughed through the entire movie. It was surprisingly good.

I think so, but don't really remember tbh It looks kinda rom-commy in a bad way, might fall asleep to it tonight tho. #francophile

Seems like Marvel can't last five seconds without a new TV show.
Runaways looks like it might be interesting, though.

[Blackened Soul]

So I was just watching the new longmire and the girl had a vision of death and an owl and stuff and just then the owl that lives in my yard let out a screach and hooted...

i loved the Runaways books, was interested in the show until they started touting it as "The OC with Super Powers!".

uhhhhhh naw. i'm good.

but i'm kinda all the excited about the New Mutants. doing a Marvel based slasher/horror flick? i am IN.

..... if they don't have the og Douglock i will be all the disappointeds.
