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

Yeah, I think it's basically just a rebranded Hulu for other countries. And I would assume, since every streaming service is playing musical chairs with their names atm, that American Hulu will be likewise rebranded at some point.

Disney- ?

Buffy is currently on Prime over here (UK) at the moment - don't know if that means it's going to disappear from there next month?

(I know some older shows are available on Netflix and Prime at the same time so not always provider exclusives)

Got through the first two episodes of Flack. I'll finish--only six episodes--but it's so bad. Alexander Mackendrick is rolling over in his grave.

the whining replies to that Disney+UK tweet are nuts.

wow everyone in the uk can finally watch how i boy's don't cry big sky met your mother

lol at BACHELOR PARTY being in there

Queen's Prison Break

Adam Grand Independence Day

I'm all about

The Cleveland Die Hard

That's the one where the terrorists take over the Rock and Roll hall of fame where Ringo Starr, Stevie Nicks, and Quincy Jones are being inducted right?

that's what they're renaming the indians

big sky looks so bad i assumed it was canadian

> Buffy is currently on Prime over here (UK) at the moment

f u Nerflix, what kind of pointless cruelty is dropping Home Fireplace Birchwood Edition, your only non-garbage original content

It truly is so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.

truly it is end of the road

also that's right from now on I'm calling you NERFLIX

ner way

Finishing up S3 of Call My Agent. Fantastic, endearing cast. As a French film buff seeing the likes of old school stars like Françoise Fabian and Guy Marchand pop up and play themselves is a real thrill.

yeah fantastic show

I found S4 of Call My Agent is a little disappointing though, despite Charlotte Gainsbourg and Sigourney Weaver doing great turns.

I ain’t there yet!

LOL that tweet had me going "OK Im getting a disney+ account now, fuckit". Went to their website, clicked on sign up for the current reduced price made sure it was the AU site... and it wont let me sign up, just gives me a login page.

Nice work Diznee

I'm currently on Amazon Prime, Mubi, and Criterion, and I have access to D1sn33k but I rarely use it. I'll probably alternate between Prime and Netflix this year.

Is there a way to see the total library of a Prime paid channel without subscribing?

Greenland is surprisingly good.

I mean, it's a popcorn disaster movie that has Gerard Butler in it but also carries real emotional heft and is more character driven than special effects focused.

Does he play an iceberg?

Well, they figured out how to get me (and probably 1 million other Gen-X'ers) to subscribe to Paramount+ (if only for a month):

The initial installment of the rebooted franchise will see the cast of the first season reunite for “The Real World Homecoming: New York.” The multi-episode reunion will be shot in the same loft where the series’ first season was filmed. Original housemates housemates Becky Blasband, Andre Comeau, Heather B. Gardner, Julie Gentry, Norman Korpi, Eric Nies and Kevin Powell will reunite for the project, which is being produced by MTV Entertainment Studios and Bunim/Murray.

big man ting

ouch, i will have to watch that

Will Beavis & Butthead on Paramount+ have the videos? I assume not.

I wonder if Norman is still pissed that someone taped over his Star Trek: TNG episode!

xp You know, that’s a good question. Streaming obviously wouldn’t have been contemplated at the time, but maybe it fits under the original definition of “television” (in the music deal).

(I guess there was “VOD” at the time, so maybe that was included)

lmao that they used Back To New York for the promo picture

i was gonna say, that's not the cast!

Oh my. I pretty much loathe the existence of reality programming and yet I have a very soft spot in my heart for those early Real World seasons. Contradictions abound.

tbh I would absolutely love it if they threw Coral and Miz in with the original cast

Kevin Powell turned out to be kind of an amazing asshole. This story is pretty incredible (tl;dr: he and his wife torched the wrong person on social media and she sued the fuck out of them).

Disney+ price is being raised in Canada, but they're adding some Hulu content under the brand name Star. No option to just have one or the other.

The "preview" or "trailer" option on a lot of these streaming services is completely useless. It's amazing how often the "trailer" ends up being a seemingly random 30-second clip from the movie that seems to have been picked with no thought towards conveying the tone or plot.

The most egregious recent example we came across was Young Guns II on Amazon Prime (my wife was trying to recall whether she'd seen it or not) and it was just a bizarre clip, randomly edited and cut off mid-sentence.

We finally finished the first season of Patriot. Seriously just about the funniest show I've seen in a while, long sustained belly laughs. Also, the subjective presentation of Lakeman's increasing depression/disassociation is incredibly well done, allowing the viewer the 'privilege' of getting sucked into his black hole right alongside him. Reminds me a bit of Hannibal's final season, slowly and inexorably oozing its way into this place of inescapable darkness.

Did, uh...did I happen to mention that this show is really, really funny? Despite the fact that any description of it is likely to make it sound anything but?

it is outrageously good.

If I didn't think the first episode of Patriot was funny am I not gonna think the rest of it is funny? I didn't even get that it was supposed to be funny.

it's darkly funny

Yes, this is not a show that I would tell a random neighbor or coworker to watch because it's hilarious, but I trust that the average ILXor has a sense of humor that's a bit blacker. Notably, it's dark humor that doesn't (for the most part, poor Steven) get its mileage from cruelty, which is my preference wrt dark humor and is quite refreshing. It's a very human and strangely...kind? show in a lot of ways, particularly for a show about a CIA dude who randomly executes people at his dad's say-so. It contains multitudes, is what I'm saying.

'that I WOULDN'T tell a random neighbor' etc.

Oh nm, said it right the first time, goddamn it

guy in a backpack never stopped cracking me up tbh

"Kevin Powell turned out to be kind of an amazing asshole. This story is pretty incredible (tl;dr: he and his wife torched the wrong person on social media and she sued the fuck out of them)."

jesus his defense is infuriating. The woman posted it to FB. They didn't bother to actually check her profile and see if they were suing the right person? What fucking idiots.

Paramount+, like other streamers from legacy media brands, is tapping into its storied library for original content.

On Wednesday, during its Investor Day presentation, the ViacomCBS-backed streamer revealed a slate of original TV series based on some of its iconic brands. Picked up to series are new takes on Paramount features Love Story, Fatal Attraction, Flashdance, The Italian Job and The Parallax View. All five shows join the previously announced Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies and making-of The Godfather entry The Offer and hail from Paramount Television Studios.

can't wait!

the somewhat more interesting bit of info:

Amy Schumer is reviving Inside Amy Schumer in a series of five specials, while Reno 911! and Workaholics are getting the movie treatment and Beavis and Butt-head will begin its journey to a weekly series on cable with a movie on Paramount+.
