Re: What's good to watch on Netflix And Other Streaming Platforms

Watched Gray Man and I thought it was good but have a question for those who have seen it

Spoiler

When did Gentry kill his father and go to jail? I thought this happened when he was younger but maybe I misunderstood it?

Spoiler

He killed him and got put in jail when he was 15. In the interview with Fitz at the beginning Fitz is reading his file and he says born in 1980, incarcerated in 1995.

Days of our lives will be moving to Peacock.

Not that I watch the show, but aren't shows like this designed for basic TV? And isn't their audience part of the older crowd who is actually home to watch a daytime soap opera?

Sooner rather than later people will just tune out of these types of things. If it becomes a chore to watch a show, people just won't even bother anymore. I know I feel that way about shows I already watch. If I have to stream it, regardless if its through a streaming service or through "alternative methods", I might not bother watching anymore.

If sports ever goes this way where its streaming service exclusive, even if I have that service already, I might actually stop watching.

I have a couple of relatives that would watch Bold & Beautiful and Young & Restless on streaming if there was no network choice and they didn't already have Paramount Plus+ (they do, LOL).

I was somewhat impressed that Peacock already has a Days Of Our Lives archive of 14,000 shows!! Isn't that close to or all of the 57 years it has been on air?

[52 weeks X 5 shows a week=260 shows a year]

[260 shows X 57 years=14,820 shows]

I've been thinking about this. Eventually everything will be a tile on a UI. It just seems so uninviting. I barely watch TV at all anymore, but as far as traditional TV programming (sitcoms, dramas, even movies), I still kind of prefer having channels that are constant and programmed by someone else, as opposed to sifting through a billion options.

I honestly wonder how many people legit bounce around and watch a variety of stuff on Netflix (for example), and how many just binge watch the same thing, or watch what they hear is popular.

Music services at least have similar artist radio options that just keep going, and make it feel like I might discover something new organically. Youtube feels like that too, and I find myself going there most of the time anyway.

Yeah it definitely kills the channel flipping and discovering stuff you my not watch based on the title. You can kind of do it with the algorithms they use but you still have to read through all the options and the amount available is just too much to go through. So you can end up passing on everything because you want to read bout the next one.

Another thing is channel flipping too.

Let's say you're watching a game. During commercials, what are you flipping too? If its streaming services, you're not starting from minute 1 of some show to watch for 3 minutes and then go back to the game. Watching on TV, you can flip to any channel and even just watch from the middle scene of some episode of a show for a minute or two.

Yellowjackets is so good. I can't recommend it enough. Can't wait for S2

Good call on Yellowjackets. I started it last weekend and at first, I was like "meh, I can kind of see where this is going" then by the second episode I was hooked. I'm on episode 7 or 8 now and am really loving it. Even the open credits have me

Re: What's good to watch on Netflix And Other Streaming Platforms

For sure, channel surfing while streaming is not really a thing. I miss it but I am old enough to know what it was like to have 2 channels with a manual knob to literally turn the channel so it's not the end of the world.

The Sandman on Netflix has been very good half way through.

I always avoided the comics because I thought the covers were weird but I’m a damn idiot. Very interesting content, there’s an episode that’s pretty disturbing and the next be something beautiful.

Re: What's good to watch on Netflix And Other Streaming Platforms

Saw and enjoyed The Gray Man. I hope they make sequels.

Saw the first episode of Yellowstone, but that's all that is available on the basic Peacock subscription. I'd like to see more, but need to see if I'd like to watch more on Peacock than just that. Since 1883 is on Paramount+ and I currently am subscribed to that, I wonder if there is a time to watch that outside of Yellowstone? Obviously they are over 100 years apart so they aren't directly connected, but since they started making that a few years after Yellowstone started I wonder if there are references worth picking up after watching a few seasons of it.

I think I read that Gray Man is getting a sequel as well as a spin off.

The Rehearsal with Nathan Fielder on HBO Max might be the wildest show I’ve seen. If you don’t know what it is, just watch the first 10 minutes of the first episode and see what’s up. And know it only gets more and more bonkers as it goes.

Re: What's good to watch on Netflix And Other Streaming Platforms

I'm watching Scrubs on Hulu.

I watched a decent amount of episodes but ultimately couldn’t get into it.

I’m currently re-watching the classic Arrested Development (First three seasons, 2003-2006)) But I have to admit I have not yet watched the newer episodes. (2013, 2018-19)

Yeah, I absolutely loved it so much I went back and watched all the NATHAN FOR YOU seasons. Very dry and sarcastic humor PLUS the show is not what you think.........at all...and in fact changes as the series goes on.

This guy Nathan Fielder...freaking GENIUS in the vein of Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld. Less observational humor though and more "think outside the box" sort of humor...

If you like dry, sarcastic wit, like say..The Office (the original one, not the American version) that can be sort of tough and awkward to sit through, then this is a show you absolutely must see.

With that being said, I consider Nathan a genius, my wife says it's all just a bunch of nonsense and he is a total idiot. So folks seem to either love or hate the guy.

Personally I will say he is absolutely, no question, one of the smartest and best comedians alive today...and unique to boot, which is hard to do in the field of comedy. I've honestly never saw anyone with such dry, sarcastic, warped and strange, but smart, way of looking at things and asking questions.

EDIT: Just to add, the humor is so dry it took me to near the end of the first episode to get that it was in fact even humor...then as I realized what was going on, and was in on the joke, then I started to wonder who on screen was also along for the ride or was really buying into all this or..........maybe both??? It's the strangest most bizarre comedy I think I've seen in my adult life... A must see and I can't believe more people aren't talking about it (I guess it goes back to above, a lot of people probably don't think like me and think this guy is just a total @sshat LOL)

Surprisingly Gosling and Reynolds do decent action stuff.
