    You are definitely part of the 4K Nation...Smart TV app...XBox One S app...Roku Premiere +...How do you choose which one to go with? Coin flip?

    Also...Am thinking about getting a Roku Premiere+...How has your experience been? Mainly your experience with the WatchESPN app...Any Loading issues/buffering? I noticed with my Roku 3, that the dreaded 'Loading' screen would happen often compared to other apps (HGTV, Netflix, etc.)...
    You will want the Roku Ultra I think, not the Premier+. Not sure the reason why but I just read a CNET comparison of all of them and they said for 4K stuff you need the Ultra.

    EDIT: here is what the Ultra has that Premier+ does not: Remote finder, gaming buttons, USB port, digital optical audio output, Dolby Audio

      I'm really liking The People vs O.J. Simpson series. Good stuff. The actors playing Johnnie Cochran (Courtney Vance), Chris Darden (Sterling Brown), and Marcia Clark (Sarah Paulson) are phenomenal. Sterling Brown, in particular, has a striking almost uncanny resemblance to Chris Darden.

      And, then, well John Travolta is playing Robert Shapiro, lol. Not the best fit, but when you're the producer....

      David Schwimmer as Robert Kardashian, lol. I keep expecting him to get all weepy and beg for "Rach" to take him back.

      Cuba Gooding Jr. is ok as O.J., but man O.J. is hard to cast because he has a case of the big 'ol forehead.

        Netflix has a "Live" show going on right now.
        Toasters toasting. Grass growing. Fans blowing. With Netflix Live, you can experience life's biggest thrills, right from the comfort of your couch.


        It's an April Fool's joke. It's not live.

        It's 48 minutes of Will Arnett commenting on video of boring things like parallel parking, making toast, and sharpening pencils.

        It's hilarious. I believe it's only on for today.

            Far too many funny thoughts.

            "Jennifer, you fat...and I'm speaking for Jennifer, this is her interior monologue...Jennifer you fat slob, do not eat that ****ing salad."

            "Yes, back up. Build up some momentum."

            "This is an example of mathematics."

            "They're all right! Straighten them out after you're done, *******. They're on a curve."

            "You guessed it, we are going to slow mo every pencil being sharpened."

            "Oh, that's a hot one. You can tell."

              I haven't been interested in anything on Netflix for a while. But I started "The Badlands" and it's badass! I was pissed there was only 6 episodes in the first season.

                For anyone that played and enjoyed "life is Strange" there's a Netflix series called 13 reasons why, and it's amazing.

                      Just finished Season 1 of Arrow....Wow....just wow....Season 2 here I come....

                      Am I the only 1 that thinks Oliver Queen/Arrow's story is quite similar to Bruce Wayne/Batman? But man...this series is freakin' awesome! And doesn't hurt that although its 1080p...I can swear it seems like a 4k production!

                      ANOTHER series that has pulled me in: Chef's Table! If your a 'foodie'...this is a MUST WATCH! And to top it off...season 3 is in Dolby Vision and season 1 & 2 are 4K UltraHD!

                        S2 is great TV and even better than S1.

                        Make sure you catch Flash too if you haven't yet. Easily my favorite series since it started.

                        It's hard though...especially when I got my neighbor playing their franchise across the street...maybe I will occupy myself with Glamore Magazine.

                          The fact that everyone is saying S2 is better than S1...unbelievable! Lookin' forward to it! And definitely will begin Flash once I finish up S2 of Arrow...

                          Another series I'm lookin' forward to binge as well: NARCOS! Some say Narcos is better than Breaking Bad...I find that HARD to believe...but if it is....I'm in for another wild ride (and BINGE watchin' like a BOSS! LOL!

                            I think people have short memories and react to being in the moment. The writing for BB was phenomenal.... on par with Mad Men imo. But, time fades the memory and something newer can seem better.

                              Yep. Narcos is not better than Breaking Bad. BB had an intricate storyline that connected in a vast amount of ways.

                              Narcos is pretty much linear. The show is very good and I don't mean to insult the writers but they weren't doing mental gymnastics the way BB was.
