    Coming around on TLOU. Damn good.

    Poker Face keeps bringing nearly A list guests every week. Fun show.

    Pale Blue Eye with Christian Bale on Netflix was at best OK I wouldn't reco it at all.

      It's sad how cable is looking like a MORE convenient option than something like Netflix. Sure, prices on cable still sucks, but depending what you watch, it might workout cheaper/better.

      With cable, I can record shows/watch them when I want, and use a single remote to control everything. On top of that, I can watch it on any device, anywhere in the country. It's helped when it comes to small things like going on vacation. Ability to access my recorded shows to just watch at night on vacation (or even at lunch at work) was a nice feature to utilize.

      Netflix not even allowing people to do something like watch out of home, unless you pay more, is definitely a good way to lose business.

      I wonder what their response will be when the inevitable happens. Say that due to popular demand, they'll change things? Act like it was a mistake that wasn't actually supposed to be made?

        National Treasure on Disney+

        First 4-5 episodes were at least watchable. The last half of the season just wasn't good.

        Nothing compared to the films of course, and I don't hold the second film in very high regard as is.

          I've been watching The Sandman, I have zero knowledge of anything about this from comics or wherever it originated, so all I have is the Netflix show. Kinda boring start, slowly got me more interested... then episode 5 (24/7) happened. Easily one of my favorite bottle episodes in recent memory of any show, I'm tempted to watch it again tonight lol, great episode

            I just started watching last night and finished the fourth one just as the fifth and most recent dropped. Is the fourth episode the one you’re referring to?

            Offerman was incredible in episode 3.

            We have to wait nine days for number six?

              Can't see how you can be comparing a $20 service to something that costs minimum $70. I feel worse about paying for YTTV than the few bucks I pay for Netflix especially since I can get as much TV as is possible with my $15 indoor antennas.

                If it's just one streaming service then sure, but we know people will need to pay for multiple.

                  I was referring to the fifth episode.

                  And since this dropped on Friday, I assume we'll now return to your regularly scheduled Sunday airings.

                    Watched this the other day and was in tears for most of the movie.

                    Still think Jonah Hill and Lauren London was an odd pairing but aside from that, this was a good movie.

                      My point was that even if you get cable or YTTV or Hulu Live you will still have to buy a few streaming services to get anything unless you want to go grey. The market networks are breaking out their better shows so you have to pony up 5 bucks each for them.. HBO and the other suspects get more than that so I don't see cable as a viable alternative.

                        What a gut-wrenching fifth episode. These monsters make their Walking Dead counterparts seem like nuisances.

                          A great 5th episode for TLOU. I like how they are balancing staying true to the game and deviating from it at the same time. I like knowing what's going to eventually happen, but the same time, it still hits you like the first experience. I also understand that they aren't trying to treat it like a game and have "gameplay" with the over-usage action scenes.

                            The game gives you that much info into what's coming up? I probably wouldn't like that.

                              Yeah the whole system has become complete garbage. Cable used to be considered expensive, but at least it was all inclusive except for deciding if you wanted HBO & Showtime.

                              Now Cable is like buying a $70 game with features built into the game that you have to unlock via DLC/Microtransactions (ie: Paramount, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, Apple, Disney, HBO, etc)

                                It's not a direct one to one comparison, but if you played the game, you'll have an idea of what's going to eventually happen in each episode. But, there's just enough deviation to make it feel like you're not just watching the video game. There's more character development than action/gameplay
