I haven't found anything decent to watch lately. I watched Deep Fear last night. 2 out of 5 stars. "Now that shark is probably high off the cocaine" ::)
I did watch the horror movie X on there. It was good. Better than what I have seen in a while.
Highway Men about Bonnie and Clyde was really good. I have Arnold and FUBAR on my list. But there is really nothing at all to watch. Some of the ones I tried to get into was so awful. I am at the point I am ready for the end of the month when I travel just so I can see something decent on the plane selection.
-
I watched The Brothers Sun and thought it was fun. First episode was probably the weakest but it got better. I give it a B.
Haven't watched much more than that recently.
-
We are watching that Griselda Narco show it's not bad
-
No particular order -
Slow Horses, Mayor of Kingstown, Feud: The Swans Vs. Truman Capote, Dark Winds, and Power: Raising Kanan.
Also this German series was expectedly good -
.
It's the semi-biographical story of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lutz_Reinstrom . The acting was superb.
On Netflix, Babylon Berlin is very good - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babylon_Berlin .
Also, it's not for everyone, but Julia, the show based on Julia Child's life is pretty good.
I'd much rather watch a series now than a movie but the strike, plus budget cuts are making those screwy now too.

Agreed. Although I'll never jerk off to Sofia again after all the cigarette smoking she does in this series.

Arnold was good. FUBAR was fucking awful.

The original Narcos series was awesome. I will give this a shot.

Watched it. Thought it was pretty decent. I always like seeing the depiction of Miami back in the good days. That place was always fun when Cocaine ran the show.

Watching The Bear on Hulu . I'm on season 2. I'm a foodie so it has that appeal, but the dynamics of the relationships is entertaining.
Watching Griselda, I do love the 70's Narco stuff and she's a kitchen pass of me so....
Medici The Magnificent on Netflix was very good if you are into that kind of history.

Wow. Thread is not about bathroom stalls and a certain Getbig member from West Linn? ;D

Why do people love lowlife drug traders so much ???

I don’t see how the paid services compete with Tubi. Even the commercials on Tubi are reasonable. I have more commercials on Paramount which we pay for.

I’m sure you’ve seen the Cocaine Cowboys documentaries - if not you would love them.
True story - I know Barry Seal’s son. He’s younger than me but my wife went to school with him. He said Cruise was pretty cool, but odd as fck when he met him. Tom played his pop in that movie.
My dad was working in BR back then and was driving home and saw all of the police and EMS responding when the cartel killed Barry. They shot him at a halfway house.
Other crazy coincidence. I worked with a Plauche - who was Gary Plauches neice. If you’ve never seen the video it’s awesome. Gary’s son - my friends cousin - was molested by his karate instructor. The old EBR airport was very lax security wise and when the cops brought the suspect back to Baton Rouge, Gary was pretending to be on a pay phone and walked right through all of the cops and blew his head off. You can hear the cops saying “NO Gary don’t”
Gary did no time!! That’s how we handle or at least used to handle justice in the Deep South.

3 of her sons get killed at the end and she leaves jail and goes back to Medalina and gets shot coming out of a store age 69

I can say tubi is the best out of all of them imo. Also the only one I don’t pay for.

Fuck, I didnt even recognise her, she looked fucking horrible, she looked like a characture puppet.

I'll check out Tubi. Some good mentions on this thread. Thanks guys.

Late 80’s early 90’s was a great time in South Beach.

Any Martial Arts-scenes in this series?
Yes, a few ….but that’s not the central thread: it’s about the triad’s and protecting their territories in Taiwan and LA. Brothers Sun was actually very good (slow first episode as Grape Ape says).
Reacher season 2 was terrible. Such weak writing.
FUBAR was just awful.
Thanks for suggestions on Tubi: I have it and haven’t used it yet.

Yeah, Reacher Season 2 pretty bad. Couple cool lines and scenes, but way too many scenes with women beating the shit out of men and being ok after the fight, and being too cool for school.

Netflix and Prime have sort of gone downhill, but still worth the price.
Enough things to justify the cost. I can always find something decent to watch.

I tend to agree with this. I do wonder though has it really gone downhill or have I just watched too much shit on them over the years? Amazon to me has been really disappointing. If it didn't come with our cell phone plan for free, there's no way I'd pay for it.

Just prosthetics / latex i think

Orime always sucked, it looked good because intitially they loaded up their site with other peoples content. The only thing they have that doesn't suck was the boys and they tried to ruin it, if it weren't just so absurd. I.e. lets have an obviously jewish actor playing a nazis.
Netflix is great if you watch the international shit.
Apple is looking really good right now, For All Mankind is pretty awesome if you're a space nerd. It's surprisingly good, it does the reverse bait and switch woke stuff. Where most of the female characters are actually as shitty as their IRL girlboss counterparts.

Pamith is making Netflix movies?

My biggest gripe is the interfaces are bad and getting worse, especially Amazon, always trying to push you into shows and making it hard to find stuff without searching by name for it. Terrible algorithms and unnecessarily complicated because they are trying to push their promoted crap.

Barry Seal's son must have a lot of good stories.
I've also watched all of those shows/series that are centered on the narcotics trade throughout the 70's through early 2000's between South America, Mexico and the USA. Those Miami streets have a lot of history. Tons of blood and coke built that city.

Yeah it's crazy how 2nd rate it is. Word on the street is creative people want nothing to do with them, because they try to run the entertainment business like it's a tech start up.
One of the red flags for me, was when I heard it was a mandate that everything they make must look good on a smart phone.
Imagine virtually any high end director trying to work with that constraint.
Everything they make is excessive in blues/ and is framed so that it looks like a cartoon.
EDIT:
They also rely on converting books into screen for most of their content, so they force the writers to take existing books and more or less use a computer program to smash together a good story with corporate mandated agendas, to please wokesters.
Streaming services got a kick start using viral marketing tactics. Marketing firms looked like tech gurus because they knew how to irritate people on social media and get attention. They cited "advanced analytics" etc constantly when in reality half of it was just howard stern shock jock crap.
15 years later these marketing knobs run these companies and still think they struck paydirt with analytics. Meanwhile these productions feel more and more like eating plastic.

We are the world special was great,,,takes u back to 80s and how they made the song in studio and all the that went into it.
-
I dont know how they find time to film all these series , to try and watch them would take three lifetimes and it takes way longer to make them.
Just look how many series were made in 2020-2021 when the world was supposed to be in lockdown
These fuckers never missed a beat

Not Netflix or Prime but have to mention this because it's so awful.
True Detective season 4.
Maximum wokery.
-
Why do people love lowlife drug traders so much ???
They hate their jobs and love to fantasize.
-
one thing no one has mentioned about netflix is how %100 of all the comedy specials have all the exact same talking points ,its as if netflix is telling these comedians whats subject matter to talk about....

netflux is for braindead normal-fa**ots

I'm going through this, on Now TV, and there's no subtitles on that service. I couldn't find it on Netflix. It's terrible to ubderstand the fucking dialogue. Went back and took a look at 3 and 2. No issues with other seasons. Definitely woker and weaker than other seasons so far. Reminds me of The Thing so ill continue for that element of it.
-
I got all watched out on Netflix and HBO - ended up on some hooky Moroccan IPTV service for $65 a year and all the movies and series you can eat.
Some would call it stealing - I call it an early call on the upcoming content consolidation where we can watch any movie recorded, anywhere we want.
I'm just ahead of my times is all.
-
When I normally can’t find anything to watch, I usually watch dateline or 2020. I enjoy their mystery and crime stories. Or, something on investigative discovery.

Yeah I've watched all of them myself. Griselda was much more violent in real life then they make her seem on Netflix series from what I've seen so far.

Disappointed in the reviews of True Detective season 4....first episode showed promise.
-

It was good. What they need to do is a special that goes into depth of the Michael Jackson / Prince feud. I had no idea they even hated each other until I saw a gang fight between MJ and Prince fans when I was in Bangkok once. It was wild.
-
As mentioned, Netflix is good for exploring foreign work. If you like zombies there is a series about a high school that was infected and the kids trying to survive. It was good. Had characters you would root for and some you just hated. Black Summer is another one.

Me 4. I'm obsessed with true crime docs and particularly fond of Unsolved Mysteries. Can't get enough of that show. This genetic genealogy is going to break a lot of cold cases. Things like the Las Cruces bowling alley massacre.
-

I've heard the same over the years. Supposedly, she was pretty vicious. Also, she was incredibly ugly.

I’ve been watching true crime stuff since I was a young teenager—used to watch it with my mom all the time. It’s good stuff. Intriguing.

I want to say thanks to those that suggested Tubi. I see quite a few things on there I will be watching now. Thanks again!

You're right. So many things ruined due to, "the message"... you could tolerate it to an extent with good writing but even that has become second rate. Hell, even the cgi seems to be regressing when it should be improving wtf

Hightown has been really good on Starz. They snuck it back on a few weeks ago, just got caught up with it now.
Hot lesbian junkie cop solves crime around Massachusetts, while battling her addictions.
Watches better than my blurb there :). It's well written, and has a good amount of sex and violence. Writing and acting wise, it's probably the best show on Starz.

I've never heard of it. Love detective shows like original Law and Order during the Jerry Orbach era, but not found any that impress me in the last 2 decades. Either too over the top, or too focused on the personal lives and drama rather than the various cases.

It's hard to find good straight across crime shows anymore. For many years I ran repeats of Homicide LOTS, NYPD Blue, the original Law and Order (it and LO: Criminal Intent were the only versions I liked). The Wire, The Night Of, and We Own This City were also good.
The First 48 is my go-to real life crime show here in the States.

The episode that aired on Friday was good, it had a strong smell of real True Detective. I am cautious, but I think the final episode will redeem the season if the writing is good.

True Detective season 4 "So bad it's good!"
-
The Undoing on HBO Max was pretty good.
-
Monsieur Spade was really good, although there was a tiny blip at the end that was ho-hum.
Sam Spade has retired to France, and is older and almost dying, but he takes on one last case that threatens his family. Clive Owen makes a great Noir actor, and it's beautifully shot. Story isn't bad either. Tom Fontana (Oz, Homicide, Copper, etc....) and Scott Frank (Get Shorty, Minority Report, etc....) helped script it.
.
It's mini-series too, so you're only in for 6 episodes if you don't dig it as much.

Saw a twisted Series on AppleTV. "Black Bird" all about killer Larry Hall (played by the fat guy on new Karate Kid).
Very twisted sick fukk. And James Keene, went undercover in criminally insane prison to get out of his other 10 year sentence for drugs/guns.
https://collider.com/black-bird-true-story-larry-hall-explained/
Crazy story...

Me and the wife are going to watch Justified again.
....All these years later and still to us nothing compares.

Not too long ago watched a show called Snowfall on Hulu that depicts the crack epidemic that devastated Los Angeles during the mid 80's. Many suggest that it's the true story of Ricky Donnell Ross AKA "Freeway Rick".
I thought the show was pretty damn good, but the ending (last episode) was a little lame. Still, definitely a good watch.

I have now seen most of the Oscar nominated movies.
American Fiction, Small Things, The Holdovers, Oppenheimer are all really good movies. Small Things being pretty fucked up in concept.
Past Lives sucked nuts. Only nominated due to being foreign.
Anatomy of a Fall was meh.
Maestro I cannot bother with.

Watched “Legion” on Netflix last night. Terrible movie.

Griselda ...
Has anyone watched it yet ?
Any good ?
WooooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhh
I watched some, but it has been done before so not very interesting and the audio is shit, very inconsistent volume

Looking forward to the series ''The Gentleman" on Netflix next month.
It's based on the Guy Ritchie movie of the same name which I really enjoyed.

Yeah, at about 25 minutes in it jumped the shark. I was also surprised with how horrible Dennis Quaids acting was. All of it for that matter except the British dude.
