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

The show is a sitcom with prestige drama acting and dna.

Has anyone checked out the Fatal Attraction series, starring Joshua Jackson, Lizzy Caplan, and Amanda Peet? (I feel like you can't reference the show without naming all leads, fsr...)

ta for the nudges in this thread re Jury Duty.
Finished it last night, and loved it.
Now I am off to read the articles linked upthread.

3min 34sec of City On Fire episode 1 was all I could take before noping out permanently. Avoid.

I wonder what's the fastest I've bailed on a show I expected to like. I know I gave Whipsmart about five minutes before stopping, but then that's a movie

Er, Booksmart

bad move

I don't think I made it through the first episode of Patriot as I realised the dark humour style wasn't gonna work for me.

i don't mind dark but i'm sort of allergic to whimsy

Book Smart was so fun, one of the better teen movies out there

i sort of want my kids to see it but it it makes getting wasted and getting into trouble look like a hell of a lot of fun, not that that's any great surprise i guess

Tried episode 1 of Sweet Home last night, bailed after 15 minutes.

I got to the rapid-fire childbirth scenes in ep 1 of Dead Ringers and had to stop

xp I'm sure I was not fair to it but it completely irritated me in those first five minutes. I know it has a lot of fans and Kaitlyn Dever is great in everything else I've seen her in

Hulu and Disney Plus are pulling stuff, anything worth watching from this list? https://www.polygon.com/23729816/disney-plus-remove-willow-movies-hulu-y-last-man

Not really afaict, but would make a good poll thread.

I really enjoyed season 1 of the Mysterious Benedict Society, and my kid was obsessed with it. Sort of a Wes Anderson child genius school with slight creepy sci-fi island vibes.

Pissed that I very likely won't get through the Willow series before it gets yanked. I know reactions have been.... mixed, to say the least, but the movie was a childhood touchstone and I was looking forward to watching the series with my son, had planned to hit it later this summer when he's out of school.

Are the residuals for a show like that really so expensive? I just don't understand pulling the show you've already created in house, filmed, marketed and everything... why not just leave it up?

xp - Yeah, my son loved the Mysterious Benedict Society a lot.

This is so dumb. The Willow show will have been up only a few days short of 6 months. This feels very punitive and possibly tied to writers strike.

Also no physical release of the Willow series so... it's just gone for good.

xp - yeah, this seems like shots fired at the writers

There's some potential for this stuff to be licensed out to other streaming services, but it seems kinda like a shitty thing to do, especially with no physical media. Then again, Disney used to release stuff on VHS for a limited time, then pull it indefinitely, so I suppose there's precedent. We've all gotten used to being spoiled, but for most of history virtually no movies or TV were readily re-accessible, let alone thoroughly/comprehensively re-accessible.

Just caught Little Demon in the list, which I enjoyed and which hadn't officially been cancelled yet, but I guess this means it basically is now.

If I wanted to watch ad-supported junk I wouldn’t pay Disney/Hulu $20/mo.

Loved the Last Man comics but think I only made it through about 3 episodes of the show

Spent large parts of this week's Silo thinking how much a de-aged Iain Glen resembles Bryan Cranston.

Morrisp I'm watching Fatal Attraction but not expecting much, basically just giving it time cause I'm in love with Caplan

Lmk if it's worth checking out!

Sweet Home was one of those I got an ep 1 taster, jumped to watching the final ep in full, and felt satisfied. The Uncanny Counter series, though, enjoyed walking through the entire set.

been watching the Luxembourg(!) series CAPITANI on Netflix, which is a pretty solid bit of crime/mystery thus far. totally predictable in terms of setting (small town murder, everyone has secrets, there's hot ZONING action involving the mayor, maybe even some ANNEXATION) but the lead character is kind of a refreshingly unkempt prickly dude in ways that aren't the usual, the secondary lead is vv likable, and the episodes are a swift 25 min apiece.

yeah ... season 2 is a bit different but still good.

Apparently The Idol screened at Cannes:

“The Idol,” or 50 SHADES OF TESFAYE: A Pornhub-homepage odyssey starring Lily Rose Depp’s areolas and The Weeknd’s greasy rat tail. Love that this will help launch the HBO Max rebrand, should slot nicely next to House Hunters!

Funny, I like Euphoria but I drove by a billboard for this show earlier today and saw "from the creators of Euphoria" and I instinctively felt I did not any more of that in my life.

Have liked Silo so far (I read the books though). Laughed that we spent an entire episode about a woman fixing a generator (I really liked that section in Wool though iirc).

Horny trashy TV 100% slots in next to the Waco Magnolia freaks tbh.

I caught up on this show over weekend. I'm enjoying it too although I am hoping it will get more complex as it goes. It's making me miss The Expanse with all its talk of the lowers, uppers, and mids inside this system. But it doesn't have half the political intrigue of that show.

Yet!

i was stoked for Silo but i didn't finish the first episode. it was very drab, grimy dim.. the dystopia felt too obvious. would you really want to raise a kid in this gloomy hell? idk

even given the alternative?

xp it’s all they know!

true

look, you're stuck in a silo. there are no shows on tv. there's no tv. all the computers are broken. the most popular (only) show is a view screen purporting to show the outside of the silo, and one of the views is just corpses. maybe someone writes a book but all of their life experiences are 1. living in the silo 2. reading books from before people were in the silo

you might as well have children if you win the child-having lottery

Yeah its been 144 years, thats multiple generations, they wouldnt know. Also the Judicial (I assume) have been changing/burying the story.

would you really want to raise a kid in this gloomy hell?

I mean, people are still having babies today IRL...

lmao yeah we’re in the silo

The Diplomat is pretty decent but I think a series starting the CIA station chief would be even better.

The new HBO Max (MAX) has eliminated writer/director credits in their interface in favor of a vague "Creators." This is what Raging Bull currently looks like. It's so fucking over. pic.twitter.com/gPveQ469GB

Starring Frank Vincent

Seth Rogan/Rose Byrne show Platonic on Apple TV is delightful and good

In the last season of Breaking Bad, pretty hyped to rewatch Justified before the new miniseries
