OT: TV & Movie Thread

El Chapo is really good. Not as good as Narcos but a tier below.

 

[darko]

Not enough love for Snowfall. This show is outstanding!

Really? I was 3 episodes in and was kinda meh. Might need to give it another look.

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

Slenderman sucked

 

[I Eat Crow]

Figured I'd throw a couple of Netflix shows in there if anyone is into Sci-Fi/dystopian future shows.

Travelers and 3% are both phenomenal.

Travelers is Canadian based (I think) and 3% is Brazil based (the show is in Portuguese). Doesn't take away from the experience at all.

I found myself very immersed in both shows. Both are really well written and 3% is just the right amount of f***ed up.

I’d recommend you give it a longer try. Pretty soon the independent storylines become intersected and more intricate in their own rights. It finished well at the end of season 1 and season 2 picked it up right there and then took it to another level again. I’m looking forward to each new episode the same way I’m looking forward to BCS.

Ozark season two is available now on Netflix. Season one was VERY good.

That is on my list to watch.Going to start it tonight.

Very excited for the poor man's Breaking Bad tonight.

Very excited for the poor man's Breaking Bad tonight.

Poor man’s something or standing on its own, we shall see. For now it’s off to a great start after the first season.

Has anyone started watching Innocents also on Netflix?

Went through Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan on Amazon Prime, starring John Krasinski. Became a fan of his after binging on The Office and seeing his horror flick A Quiet Place. Jack Ryan started strong then weakened but finished relatively strong. Due to it being only 8 episodes, they had to take some plot liberties and logic jumps along the way.

Recommend Isle of Dogs, the stop-motion animated movie by Wes Anderson.

Still weird to wake up in a world where John Krasinski and Chris Pratt play action heroes.

The Man In The High Castle is awesome! Hopefully season 3 will be out soon, you guys should check it out.

100% agree and you can add Ryan Raynolds too.
Who’s next? T. J. Miller?

 

[will1066]

Still weird to wake up in a world where John Krasinski and Chris Pratt play action heroes.

To their credit, both got in shape. Krasinski has been breaking typecast for sure, first with 13 Hours and then with A Quiet Place. He was completely ripped and anti-Jim Halpert in 13 Hours.

 

[True Blue]

Finally finished Breaking Bad. Need a break before I try to tackle Better Call Saul.

Found the ending a little unfulfilling.

Will take Americans over BB, but BB truly was a great show.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Mindy Kaling is uh, not great in It’s Always Sunny

I haven't watched all three of said programs in my previous post.

Sorry this is OT in an OT thread... but anyone know where I could post an Ebay link to? I wanted to let the Ranger community know that I put up what is seemingly a rare collection (NYR Stanley Cup DVD set) for auction. NHL.com sold it around 2006 and it's nowhere to be found now. It includes 14 games (NJ and VAN) and the original 1994 championship film. I can't believe I'm even selling it, but would like a little extra cash.

Salesman of the year right here.

Haha I didn't even realize I was pulling off a sales tactic when I said that! It feels a bit blasphemous to sell off a collection like this as a Ranger fan...wait is that also a sales tactic too?

 

[Lion Hound]

Wife dragged me out to see A Star Is Born. It was really good. Def worth seeing in the theatre.

 

[kovazub94]

Ozark - Breaking Bad meets Game of Thrones!

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

Anyone else watching The Haunting of Hill House?? I'm like 4 episodes in and its very good. Surprisingly creepy

 

[mrmovies779]
