CharonY Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 Just now, StringJunky said: FB's like heroin: addictive and bad for you. All you are to FB is data and dollars. No, it is about connecting people and their friends. And then their data without asking.
QuantumT Posted March 8, 2019 Posted March 8, 2019 Hate to repeat myself, so I'll just link to my latest reply to that exact question:

I have FB for work purposes but don't find it all that entertaining. I have read that for some it is highly addictive but only loosely understand that appeal. FB does have original programming now, Link. I haven't seen any of it yet though.
Curious layman Posted July 17, 2019 Posted July 17, 2019 Loved The Expanse, Altered Carbon was good too. The effects were much better than the storyline. Hopefully the next series will be better. Cant get enough of Narcos etc.. always with subs though, dubbing ruins it I think.
Sensei Posted July 17, 2019 Posted July 17, 2019 Nobody mentioned Westworld? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0475784/
swansont Posted July 17, 2019 Posted July 17, 2019 I've worked through Luther and DCI Banks on Amazon prime. Can't seem to be able to find other good whodunnit detective stories (where they actually work through the clues, instead of having the murder be a mcguffin in a drama that happens to be about police/detectives)
beecee Posted July 19, 2019 Posted July 19, 2019 The worst thing about "free to air TV" in Australia, is the flooding with these idiotic so called "reality" TV shows. They literally make me want to be sick!! 1
Externet Posted July 19, 2019 Posted July 19, 2019 I enjoy MOM from US, and 'Somewhere street' on NHK.

We watched Stranger Things already, the 3rd season is better than the 2nd imo. The Orville was awesome I hope they make more. 1

Airbrush Posted August 6, 2019 Posted August 6, 2019 Game of Thrones. Some argue the ending was wrong, but I disagree. The ending was as unpredictable as I could imagine. Arya Stark was the hero, saving the world of the living from the world of the dead.

Mordred Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 Game of thrones currently binge watching. Never watched while on TV. Now have all the DVD except last season.
FreeWill Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 I really like Black mirror Rick and Morty is pretty good as well
koti Posted September 6, 2019 Posted September 6, 2019 I'm at season 2 episode 8 of "The Expanse" I haven't been sleeping much last few nights, I'm hooked. On 3/7/2019 at 9:51 PM, Janus said: ...There are other shows that I watch regularly.... Which ones?

The Walking Dead (though I must admit that my enthusiasm for the show has waned. It's almost a "Not wanting to give up on it after investing in it for so long" more than a "can't wait for the next episode". The Good Place (though this is ending after this season) Supernatural (my wife actually was the one to start this one, I just started watching because it was on in the background. Another show in its last season. I do also watch The Flash On Netflix we'll watch The Kominsky Method, Stranger Things and enjoyed the first season of Lost in Space, We are currently catching up with The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel on Amazon Prime (We just finished Good Omens) I heard that the Orville is switching to Hulu. so that'll be a streaming series also. If it wasn't for our daughter and her boyfriend, I doubt we would have sprung for any of these streaming services on our own, they set us up with all three.
Moontanman Posted September 7, 2019 Posted September 7, 2019 (edited) Outlander, Lost Girl, Breaking Bad, Jessica Jones, Primeval, Colony, and The HandMaid's tale! Oh I forgot, Fear the Walking Dead and the Walking dead... Edited September 7, 2019 by Moontanman

If it wasn’t for our kid and the new TV we wouldn’t be using Netflix too...the main reason was Dolby Vision which is supported by Netflix and since our new TV has it, In using it. It sucks btw, the technology is not yet mature. I’m waiting for the next season of Orville but apparently Hulu is not available in my country so its either using some twitchy VPN or torrents which really sucks because the show is so good that I’d like to support it.

Our daughter got us a ROKU a few years ago. At the time we had a fairly low end internet connection speed, and it really didn't get much use. It wasn't until a couple of years ago when we upgraded our internet, that we got the Netflix set up. Hulu came later (mainly because my daughter wanted us to watch a series she really loved (Timeless), which was on Hulu ( not a Hulu original but a canceled network show). Just recently while we were over at their place, we happened to mention that we had just recently caught a couple of episodes of Good Omens while spending the night at a place that had Amazon Prime.( I've read the book a couple of times, and remember being excited when I heard it was going to be made for TV, and then disheartened when I learned it would be on Amazon Prime, which we didn't have). That's when my daughter's boyfriend offered to set us up with it. One nice thing about the Roku is that it allows us to watch Yahoo! sports on our TV. Normally this would not be that big a thing except that we do like to follow our local NWSL team (Professional Women's Soccer team), and their games are very seldom televised, while Yahoo! sports does stream the games.
iNow Posted September 7, 2019 Posted September 7, 2019 Good Omens was fun. Was glad they didn’t completely ruin the book. Was pretty stoked when I discovered there were a bunch of Jeopardy episodes on Netflix so watched them all. My wife and I are right now “trying on” Another Life with Katee Sackhoff from Battlestar right now. A bit slow and predictable with just a touch of forced drama, but overall a nice show thus far to end the evening after we get the kids to sleep.
