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

After seeing that thread about good latter-day Simpsons episodes, I kind of wanted someone to do the same for Futurama. I've seen 3 of the 4 movies that came out after season 4 and maybe 5 episodes after that, and of all those, I liked one episode, disliked the rest. People seemed psyched about new Hulu episodes on reddit, so I figure there must be some gems in there

Yes the last Futurama reboot was good! A few clunkers but some of the eps are the best the show did oversll, esp "the Late Phillip J Fry" and the one where he gets to talk to his mom in his dreams.

i don't watch much tv and i don't give a shit about cars but the FORMULA 1 show on netflix is great - reminds me more of Succession or Borgen with its twists and turns than anything to do with sportsball

xp The Late Phillip J Fry was the one I liked haha! I'll check out that other episode, Trayce

uh you guys

that Bel Air show, the Fresh Prince reboot?
… it’s… good!?

i watched the first 3 eps tonight & i really like it. it’s using the template to do its own thing.

there were other good episodes from the futurama revival. terrible apple parody aside, the whole first season back is pretty good, nearly on the level of the original run

Fringe is free w/ commercials on Prime Video (courtesy of IMDB.tv and the worst lineup of commercials I've seen since the early days of Hulu), one of the few shows I think could have benefitted from streaming, shorter seasons and less episodic storylines.

Coming so soon after rewatching the X-Files I'm mentally noting where they hit the notes incorrectly - it's too soon to try and get the department shut down! you've got to wait until the season finale cliffhanger to pull that.

hmm looking back there are prob 6-7 from that season that are good and the rest are meh

Looks like it has potential, but it also has potential to be Shrek 5 or whatever.

Did anyone watch Bosch ? Any good? Several seasons on Amazon.

Yes, Bosch is very good.

bosch is great

ok then, bosch it is, thank you

bosch is very watchable.

I flew through the 7 seasons quickly. One or two slightly weaker seasons (and I did think S1 was one of the weaker ones) but overall a solid show, good cast

Coincidentally i have been *rescreening* Bosch lately, are S3 & S4 the consensus best? My pick is def S3. S1 is interesting, i remember thinking at first watch that the serial killer was pretty lame but i think the bad or at least off acting of the character makes it way more creepy. i just found out that there was a pilot (S1 Ep 1) that streamed at the time and after that had a different Money Chandler and a couple other recast characters - anyone know where i can watch that? Currently rewatching S5 and the drug undercover thing was a mistake but still other plotlines making it worthwhile.

Wish Santiago had his own spinoff, love that dude

S2-4 were all strong. I also liked the final season quite a bit. The drug season was the weakest but, as you said, had its moments

Oof, just realized that there's no thread for Catastrophe and almost no discussion itt and doing a post search for 'catastrophe' is certain to be a catastrophe so I have no idea where on the board I saw people feting it but it deserves the feting. About 1.5 seasons in and loving it thus far.

Search by Horgan instead, much higher hit rate.

Discussion in roiling iPlayer thread and UK Comedy.

bosch is terrific. it's more of a vibe show than a plot show (ideal imo) so it's good for repeated viewings. lots of good characters and performances. agree that santiago and crate/barrel are the highlights.

More Bosch talk here: "If you can smoke and drink while doing it, it's not a sport" - a thread for BOSCH

Catastrophe is amazingly good.

Reacher is glorious, best dumb guy show in a long time even though Reacher isn't quite as grizzled as I pictured him.

severance, the new ben stiller show on apple+ is good - v weird & absurdly funny

there is a v funny “dinner” party with no food that is well worth the watch

Just watched the two available episodes. Really good so far.

And just watched the first episode of Catastrophe based on recent JM & OL recommendations. Very funny.

Just to say Catastrophe is amazing.

Catastrophe is great. Kinda watched it at the same time as Youre the Worst which is a very different show but exists in a similar place in my mind. Later on This Way Up which is great and Horgans great on that.

I’m still rewatching You’re The Worst, btw… just watched the “LCD Soundsystem” episode, which I remember kind of blowing my mind when it first aired and is still so good.

I think I said earlier (re: The White Lotus) that I’m not usually into satire… tho I just realized two of my all-time favorite shows have lots of satirical elements (YTW, Arrested Development). “Satire with heart”(?)

Not sure why I thought I don’t enjoy it; maybe it’s hard to do “well”? (…but so is anything). Or when I hear satire, I think of a movie where Warren Beatty plays a rapping politician or something… idk.

lcd soundsystem one of the best episodes of tv ever

it’s a shame i hated the third season of you’re the worst so much i never finished it

oh I think the end of You're the Worst was really great

Yeah I don’t remember the middle seasons too well, but S5 (and the finale) were terrific. S5 begins with this incredible “nineties flashback” episode…

there was a really awful camping episode in the third season i couldn’t go on

maybe i’ll finish it this year

Just watched the first episode of "Station Eleven," how uncanny that they started filming this in January 2020.

Reacher was great! Right in my 80s Schwarzenegger/A-Team sweet spot. I think it worked so well because each episode, despite being part of a longer narrative, was essentially a standalone and stuck to the formula of blah blah setup 'wait for Reacher to beat the shit out of someone (often four people)'. That said, the buddy aspect was really well-observed too.

SORT OF SPOILER It had a weird computer game boss-level logic I thought. Reacher destroyed four meatheads in prison in the first episode but by the end was struggling to beat crowbar-wielding little rat-man.

xp I’m 2/3 through Station Eleven and altho I find it uneven, when it hits it’s almost transcendent

also yall with access to Hulu can watch my best friend’s major studio directorial debut NO EXIT this Friday, it looks like a nail-biter

We finished Station Eleven this weekend and then I read the plot outline of the novel it was based on. The changes made were pretty fundamental. I kind of like the direction the show went better.

Yeah it drags a little bit in the middle but overall, i thought it was much better than the book in almost every respect - character, plot, themes etc

Iloved how it ended. Havent read the book though.

I couldn't focus much on the Station Eleven book, but the show is great. I watched episode 4 (the one with David Cross) today and it's one of the best episodes of anything I've watched lately. Archive 81 is up next.

Episode 5 even better imho

Good to hear. I warned my wife that I'd heard of people jumping ship after the first episode, or mid-season, but that everything I've heard about the series as a whole has been great.

Is there a lag latency in Justwatch? I see that some things that timed out of Mubi and Criterion last night are still there.

lag/latency

lol

Yeah, that's a pretty solid encapsualtion of why I still buy physical media like a mofo.

how dare he put in Freddy vs. Jason
