The Television Streaming Thread: Now With Felonies

Pretty sure Matt Gaetz watches to perv on Winnie Cooper. (Adult Danica McKellar is another matter, though having watched a couple of hallmark movies with the wife, she can’t really act other than biting her lip).

Yeah she isnt a great actress. I do enjoy her appearances on Impractical Jokers though.

Shes a mathematician or something, right?

Lol I’m the same age as Murr and had a crutch on her too. I think I would have died on the spot if my buddies did that to me.

Mythic Quest S2 is coming in May. In the meantime they just dropped a solo episode. If you enjoyed s1 the solo episode will likely hit the spot too.

‘Why Did You Kill Me?’ is pretty awful. The use of social media gave it intrigue but it was such a small role that it didn’t take away from this being a mundane, boring murder mystery that dragged on for 80 minutes.

I mean the family of the victim is not very sympathetic and the mother is a fucking racist lunatic. Just trashy, fucked up people in a trashy fucked up situation with other trashy people.

I enjoyed MQ season 1-- not one of my favorite favorite shows but one I ended up going through pretty quickly. (Well, on my second attempt. On my first one it stressed me out because it reminded me too much of my actual job, but then I lost that job, so it reminded me why I wasn’t that broken up about losing it.)

A few other recent and upcoming returns:

-No Activity is back for an all-animated season 4; that kicked off April 8.
-This Time with Alan Partridge returns for season 2 sometime this month, but I don’t have an actual date.
-Black Monday season 3 kicks off May 23.

We started watching Home Economics. It’s not bad so far. Jimmy Tatro has been the best part. Second episode is funnier than the pilot.

Yeah I watched it last night and it was not good. I think everyone came off looking pretty horrible.

We need to start killing more people in order to get more interesting true crime documentaries.

Or at least start doing it more creatively. Have a magician sawing people in half and claiming they’re accidents or botched tricks

Do mass shootings count?

This is a Robbery (Netlix about Boston art heist) was interesting in spots but ultimately unsatisfying because the filmmakers didn’t uncover anything new, it happened 30+ years ago, and most everyone involved is now dead. I was expecting a Durst-style revelation, but it just ended randomly. Definitely didn’t need to be a mini-series.

If somebody committed a mass shooting while firing like Revolver Ocelot, then yeah definitely

Yea I watched this doc and I agree they didn’t really offer anything new. This is one of the most famous robberies ever and maybe I already knew too much about it going in. I guess it might be worth a watch if you know nothing about it.

Here is what this new doc revealed:

They think the mob did it but they are all dead except maybe one guy. This one guy was in jail and might have got out early by giving info to the cops. They still have no clue where the paintings are. This didn’t really need 4 episodes to tell.

Yeah I watched it all but I have heard pretty much all of that before. Still one of the most fascinating real world heists to ever take place.

Maybe one day we will find out what happened.

Was interesting to find out the head of the museum was literally only there for like two months before the robbery and stayed there like fifteen years.

Just seems one of those paintings has to leak it’s existence at some point.

Given our similar tastes, this is great to hear since I quit after season 1 and never looked back, no matter how many people told me how great it was. Feels good man.

The biggest unsolved mystery in any film I’ve seen recently is how did Justin Bieber manage to become the hero of the Billie Eilish doc?

Thanks for the reminder, absolutely HATED that and laughed hard when it happened. Epitome of lazy writing. Lots of similar examples.
