The Television Streaming Thread: Now With Felonies

Planet Earth is A+. Anything Attenborough is great. Have you tried showing your kid the OG Cosmos with my man Carl Sagan?

Also, Night on Earth on Netflix is pretty great.

Rewatched a few episodes of Jordan Peeles new season of Twilight Zone and man is it good. Especially love the episode with Adam Scott in Peeleā€™s version of the William Shatner classic trouble at 50k feet airplane premise.

Final season (and episode) of Homeland was actually fantastic.

Its understandable people would be a bit numb to political fiction given the current situation, but Homeland actually got a lot better in the later seasons due to dropping almost all the family melodrama and going allin on straight spy shit.

In the US, where this technology was being pioneered, most of this fine-tuning was done by affluent white men. And, as it turns out, the race of these men had implications: they were operating under a very particular assumption about whom and what their product was meant to capture.

Not a new revelation, but always an interesting story when it catches waves again.

Hmmm I gave up on this show after season 3 or 4, canā€™t believe itā€™s still on air or that itā€™s actually good

Now you can remove titles from your Continue Watching queue. Only for Android mobile tho.

I canā€™t see this guy anymore without associating him with John Carter. That movie was the weirdest thing ever.

Steamroller!

All Star Wars Episodes coming to Disney + May 4

Which versions tho. Some of them are unwatchable. Iā€™d resubscribe if they put up Topher Graceā€™s recut.

The Last Kingdom is good shit and season 4 dropped Sunday. High recommend partaking in the marijuanas and watching.

That is nuts.

Ranked best to worst, itā€™s

There will be blood
Boogie nights
The master
Magnolia
Punch drunk love
Hard eight
Phantom Thread
Inherent vice

This is scientifically proven!

Halfway through S2 of my Wire rewatch. First time Iā€™ve watched since they remastered the show in 16:9 and HD (should help people that were turned off by the way it used to look) and itā€™s so impressive how well crafted a show it is considering when it came out. After rewatching the Sopranos for the 20th anniversary, another Mad Men rewatch and the complete abortion that was the final season of GoT, itā€™s safe to say The Wire is the unequivocal GOAT.

When I read the ringer announced recently they were doing a review of the show I decided to do a rewatch. Currently halfway through season 3.

Iā€™ve watched like 4 times now and Iā€™m just realizing how often I use lines from the show without even thinking about it. Earlier this week at work in a team meeting I said how it was just a 40 degree day. No one acknowledged it. :cry:

WTF? Why not just hammer nails into your feet? Far less painful and a lot more productive

Iā€™ve got Mad Men > Sopranos = Wire > Breaking Bad >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> everything else.

Don Draper is the GOAT character.

I think you misunderstood my post. I have not rewatched the final season of GoT and donā€™t plan to. They ruined the entire show with a few trash episodes. Itā€™s a damn shame

For some reason this scene has always been one of my favorite scenes from The Wire, probably because I can thoroughly relate to drinking myself into oblivion, especially in younger years, in a state of complete self loathing.
