But Is It on Netflix? - Streaming Video Service Thread: Hulu, Amazon Prime, Apple TV+, Disney+, Peacock, YouTube TV, AT+T Watch, Philo, Playstation Vue, HBO Max, HBO Now, Facebook Live and many more

ted probably not great in the sack

sorry for party rockin

One Night in Miami - directed by Regina King - now streaming on Prime. It’s really good, highly recommend

First episode of Servant was quite good

Watching Patriot, which is very good and smart and clever and can't be fucked with as far as the music goes. But it's a bit too much on the comedy side afaic. Wishing it would tone the wit down a little bit! I am looking for a more serious crime/thriller series, on Prime. Is McMafia worth the watch?

Assume you've watched Bosch?

Yeah! So good. And Goliath too which I enjoyed

zerozerozero is meant to be good

Haven't watched it myself though

Ah seen it :) That isn’t on Prime though here in NL. I found it dissapointing

The Expanse has lots of crime in it

And not for everyone but would certainly recommend trying Too Old To Die Young if you've not seen it

yes it's great fun and a wonderful waste of their money

Ah thanks gonna try that one!

Okay that starts off.....uhhh weird

All five seasons of the Muppet Show heading ti Disney+!

One Night in Miami, along with the Small Axe series (both on Amazon Prime) are the two best things I've seen in at least a year.

Okay that starts off.....uhhh weird

fair warning it gets much much weirder

Muppet Show is a pretty big deal. Remains to be seen how bowdlerized it is, as I believe music licensing is what's held it up from being issued in its entirety on DVD (and even then they wound up having to edit segments out).

I'll be a little optimistic, I mean if anyone has the $$$$ to throw at licensing issues, it'll be Disney.

I thought what kept the fourth season from coming out on DVD (I own 1-3) was licensing the Star Wars-themed episode, which given Disney's ownership of that would eliminate the issue.

They never released season 5, though, did they?

No, 4 and 5 never came out. The only above-board way to see a lot of those later episodes is via best-of discs that Time-Life put out forever ago.

And the episodes on the Time-Life discs were (iirc) unedited, unlike those on the season sets.

Same thing with iirc Beavis & Butthead.

The official Beavis & Butthead releases are completely useless. I honestly don't know why they even bothered (I mean, yeah, $$$, but still).

Speaking of which, "Freaks & Geeks" coming to Hulu next week with original soundtrack intact.

Haha of course it is, just weeks after I finally bought the Blu Ray set because I was sick of waiting.

the commentaries are worth the price of the blu ray set (assuming they carry over all the commentaries from the DVD set)

I believe they do, it's the same company and otherwise the same package afaict. That makes me feel better.

They're going to make it like cancelling a porn site circa 1999 - three calls and two hours of waiting to ditch Hulu Premium this month

Last week I finally cut the cable cord (and got fiber!) after ~25 years of being a Comcast customer, and I was surprised at how easy it ended up being. Maybe it was my tone of voice, but the person in the call center didn't even try to keep me.

are you saying it took you two hours to cancel hulu premium? because you can do that yourself fairly easily by changing your plan.

Anyway, watched Doug Liman's "Locked Down" on HBO Max, which was written and filmed last year. It's ok, I like Anne Hathaway when she doesn't play cutesy, but I had a hard time watching the blatant disregard for any masks? Like, people would put them on for one second and take them off when entering a room? Is this what London was like last year? I just kept thinking "whatever happens to these two, they are probably going to wind up sick as fuck or dead"

They're going to make it

Thanks to whichever one of you nerds recommended the Conny Plank documentary on Amazon however many months ago, it was lovely and really interesting.

Garrett Bradley's documentary feature Time is streaming on Amazon Prime, but if you're a MoMA member who doesn't have it, you can stream it from MoMA's virtual cinema for the next five days starting at noon today:

https://www.moma.org/calendar/events/6779

It's been an especially good year for documentaries, and MoMA is streaming two more great ones before the end of the month: Sam Pollard's MLK/FBI and Frederick Wiseman's City Hall. Those three films alone would probably rank among my top five films of the year.

Thanks for the heads up on Time, will watch that this weekend!

As a big fan of the new cast regular, it pains me to report that the new season of Search Party is outrageously, depressingly bad and I have checked out for good after three episodes.

:/

I checked out after s1. I love Alia Shawkat but I have no idea who the audience for that show is.

i was good for the first two seasons. last season was patchy but certainly watchable. This season is hot garbage.

i gave up somewhere in season 3. began to hate every character

i don't really see enjoying the first couple of seasons of search party but not enjoying the third season? it's not a great drop-off or anything imo. horses for courses ofc.

i think it's a good show. i love john early, he should be in more things.

yup. I loved season 1, liked season 2, am a big fan of most of the actors on the show, esp John Early, but season 3 made some really weird choices. We've only seen the first 2 of season 4 and we'll probably finish it, but not really like it. Cole Escola is generally hilarious as well, but yeah, not feeling this.

I love Escola and have seen several of his live shows but this is not a good role for him. Glad he's getting paid though.

It's really one of the most inconsistent shows maybe ever, even in terms of subjective notions of its quality, apparently. We watched and enjoyed the first season and dropped off about halfway through the second when it seemed to go off the rails. Then we just last week pressed through the rest of 2 and I liked 3 a lot, thought it was hilarious. I'm not quite ready to write off 4 yet, but it's definitely back in 'shopping cart with a wonky wheel' territory. I just don't think they quite know what they want the show to be, is the problem.

Variable quality of the show aside, John Early is just next level and I hope he gets all the success he deserves. Just so effortlessly funny pretty much all the time.

Forgive the thread spam, but I wanted to note that the 2020 ILX TV poll is now open for ballots:

ILX's Best Television of 2020 Poll / VOTING AND CAMPAIGNING THREAD / Voting Ends After January 29, 2021

All you need to do is submit a ballot including your favorites (3 minimum, 25 maximum, ranked by your favorite to least favorite) to forksclovetofu at gmail. It'll take five minutes; get to it!

Anyone else in here have WWE Network, NJPW World, STARDOM world, Honor Club, or FITE tv?

No? Just me?

we have a wrestling board don't we?

FWIW, the official @ViacomCBS twitter account just liked my tweet saying Top Gun II will likely go day-and-date or direct to Paramount+ https://t.co/3pucGqjTtQ

Your decision to drop out on Search Party s4 was probably otm, forks. If you didn't like the first three, you aren't gonna like the next three. The most tonally confusing show possibly ever.
