The Television Streaming Thread: Part II - Hot Takes, Jags Fans, and Bert

they’re shopping a bunch of shows, including Westworld, out to free watch companies, like The Roku Channel.

I think they have a landing place for Westworld but forget where it is.

The new season is recent and really good, saw the original ones as a kid so can’t speak as much to them.

The current CEO is truly a fucking moron, he’s about to collapse all their streaming into something called “Max” thereby obliterating the HBO brand which is incredibly valuable and credible with their most affluent and desirable customers.

Not sure if anyone besides me still watches SNL every week, but they did a nice send-off for Cecily Strong.

Colin Jost looks so damn sad and makes a rare non-Update appearance.

EP2 of S1 of White Lotus in the books. Completely hooked and I have no idea why.

set in a future where societal collapse has destroyed all culture. the queen of england (not shown) commissions william shakespeare jr the fifth to rewrite the great plays, including king lear, the movie we’re watching.

but don’t expect to follow the plot or understand the actors’ lines with animal sounds bleating over them or godard narrating counter-dialogue underneath an actor at near equal volume. to me, it’s not more inscrutable than any other shakespeare. the less sense it makes to me, the more i assume it’s faithful to the original.

free to stream here probably because no sane person would ever pay for the rights even at the height of streaming mania

And the Weekend Update was unusually hilarious.

Just saw the trailer for 1923 which belongs to the Yellowstone shows. I am a little confused if that plays 40 years after “1883” why are their no familiar names. The character played by Helen Mirren who is kinda old should have been on the trip with them in 1883 or am I wrong. There is apparently someone playing the little brother of Elsa but he doesnt look older than Harrison Ford so his character also magically appeared. Not sure I will watch that I am more interested in the journey than the standard fighting among families.

Confused. Is Paramount is releasing episodes of both Yellowstone season 5 and 1923 right now?

It’s the music

Well according to imdb the first episode was released yesterday.

That’d be this guy. I’ve been a huge fan since Utopia, where his score was the second best thing about the show (first was cinematography, third was Arby, actual plot maybe a distant fourth).

Full measures is the best until ozymandias

Good to hear b/c I had never seen it before and watched S1 and was wondering what the hype was about and haven’t been able to get to S2 yet.

Breaking Bad is the only show I watched where each season was better than the one before it
