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

it's definitely a curious balance. I was actually surprised they moved on to having a real relationship so fast, but then it became clear there was more time between episodes than was initially obvious

having watched the first few episodes, that did not come across at all

felt like they just met and a few days later they're a proper married couple

also they seem incredibly naive and bad at their jobs but I assume/hope that will pay off later in the season

It’s quite watchable, but very uneven. The guest/ cameo roles are good (I particularly liked Sarah Paulson’s performance as a marriage therapist)

i watched E01 and yeah it's disconcerting to skip over the expected initial phase of mutual irritation and distrust and see them just get straight to quietly enjoying each others' company. you gotta respect the contrariness of it but i would have liked to see that process of how they melt into trusting and liking each other all the same

you guys are all smarter than me and i would love to hear how well you do with a category on The Floor. every time i think -"oh i can ace this one" - and every time i go "uhhhhhhhhh..." and miss two or three. man, i would suck on a game show. i would be so frozen. so much pressure.
this is the first addictive play-at-home game i've seen since millionaire probably! i don't watch game shows much. i usually watch one or two of a new one and then i get bored. but the structure of this is really good. plus, rob lowe. who knew i would still be happy to see rob lowe after all these years? i'll bet ILX people could do really good on this. because of the massive general trivia knowledge here.

anyway its on hulu. i keep thinking i'm gonna turn it off and...

so far i've done really well with Divas (i missed dua lipa) and Candy.

fyi: i do not work for hulu.

lol The Floor is fun. They do a good job of surprising people with "generation gap" trivia and cutting to people's reaction shots

oh man when they do actors and they show the youngs i totally blank sometimes. uhhhhh, the blonde one...uh..tom somebody...

i really show my age. same with all the actresses who may or may not be emily blunt or kristen wiig or someone from the crown or...yeah, i would suck at this show.

Candy, Cereal and Fruit were hard. I was good with Clothing (cringing for the guy whose category it was), Shoes, and Children's Literature. Some of the interpretations were wild. I think most ILXors would do very well on this show.

Mr. and Mrs. Smith needed to spend more time setting up the relationship dynamic or to start in media res like the movie.

"I think most ILXors would do very well on this show."

totally. not me though.

i always feel bad when the luck of the draw gives some people the easiest stuff ("toast!") and other people get super-hard things. that Brunch category was brutal.

That person who won *Junk Drawer* was a boss.

fun fact: The Floor, along with a number of US game shows, is now filmed in Ireland for reasons of cheapness. They just fly in the hosts and contestants

WOW. love that fun fact. no wonder everyone seems drunk!

seriously, there are tons of giddy people on that floor.

The US version of The Circle on Netflix used to be filmed in the UK, even though the whole show takes place within an anonymous apartment building. But I think it's now filmed somewhere in the US.

Shogun out today and looks great

Ok finished Mr & Mrs Smith, agree with some of the criticisms after completing it. I think the show would have benefitted from being 10 episodes rather than 8; we would have gotten a little more early establishment on how the relationship grows. Clearly the show pivots hard to being about marriage and the spy elements become a secondary scaffolding for examining this dynamic. Oddly I felt like the final episode was a bit too long. I saw the ending coming a mile away and was slightly disappointed it went exactly where I expected it to. Having said all that, I still liked it.

I'm suprised at all the love for it. It felt like a big nothing burger to me. Why were they doing what they did? What was their motivation to even sign up? What was the point of any of the assasinations/rescues they did? Like, especially Ron Perlman's character? If that first place was a safe house why'd they all get shot at?

Why was Paul Dano set up as an ominous man-next-door who never ended up doing anything bad?

Why didnt anyone notice Turturro went missing? he was a fucking billionare philanthropist!

I just couldnt suspend my whatever with any of it.

I'm digging The Abyss. not THAT abyss. swedish mining disaster earthquake movie on netflix. good so far. i loved The Wave. this is kinda like that. that was Norwegian but its all Nordic to me. i don't think i was as big on The Quake.

Loudermilk on Netflix - amateurishly shot but amusing. Gets two Brockmires out of 3.

Was wondering why I never had heard of that show, but then I checked wiki:

Loudermilk originally premiered on AT&T's Audience Network. Its first season debuted in 2017. On April 12, 2018, Audience renewed the series for a second season, which it premiered on October 16, 2018. On December 5, 2018, it was announced that Audience had renewed the series for a third season, but the network ceased operations in May 2020, prior to the third season's scheduled airing.

I totally don't remember AT&T having a streaming network.

Society of the Snow on Netflix is really incredible. I don't think you could do a better job of getting across the horror and hardship of the situation (though my wife and i both claimed we wouldn't have a problem eating our fellow passengers, and she's a vegetarian!). Terrific cast.

i want to watch that but i was such a huge fan of the old movie version and for some reason that has stopped me.

I'd like to see the old version (Alive, 1993 I presume) to compare!

oh the old one is probably way hokier and less scary i was just always fond of it.

although the actual crash in the old one is really well done. very scary.

first episode of Elsbeth is on Hulu. gonna watch it tonight maybe.

FEATURING: Cruising (1980), Heaven’s Gate (1980), Xanadu (1980)*, Querelle (1982), Under the Cherry Moon (1986), Ishtar (1987), Cocktail (1988), Showgirls (1995), Barb Wire (1996)*, The Blair Witch Project (1999), Freddy Got Fingered (2001), Swept Away (2002), Gigli (2003), The Wicker Man (2006)

i've seen them all except for the last three.

as usual just way too many friggin' movies. i get FOMO from a teevee channel!!

+3 (or 4 or whatever it is) to Scavengers Reign. Absolutely amazing.

Also shades of VanderMeer's Southern Reach/Borne and Tartakovsky's Primal

v much so. had exactly the same comparisons in my head. it’s so good.

Hacks S3 Teaser:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZkv9-90De8

First I was surprised that show was still on the air, then I was surprised this was the third season, then I was surprised that Piper Laurie was still alive, then I remembered she wasn't and that that was Jean Smart, and then I tried to remember the Jean Smart role that brought her back fore of mind before the first season of "Hacks," and then I remembered she was in season 2 of "Fargo" and man, was she good in that. I should rewatch that series from the beginning.

my fave sentence of the day, JiC. respect.

started watching scavenger's reign cuzza you guys last night. very cool. part of me wishes there were no humans in it but i'm like that. but still very cool. will watch it all eventually. too much to watch.

19 years ago on ilx...

When Is Someone Gonna Make A Sci-Fi Show Or Movie Without Any People In Them?

Josh, Jean Smart is like two decades younger than Piper Laurie (R.I.P.)

i like when actors like her come into their own later in life. she's so awesome now. sort of the least remarkable designing woman? she often had the thankless task of just reacting to other sassy people on that show. raising an eyebrow. sighing. shrugging. shaking her head at delta. laughing at the genius that was alice ghostley.

this means I'd better get on finishing Season 2 which I was watching in fits and spurts while flying all over the place a year ago.

jean smart was also really good in Legion, and had a good role on Watchmen.

jean smart is a national goddamn treasure

Would definitely explain why the former is alive and the latter is not.

Well as of five months ago, sure…

Jean Smart was also very good in Mare of Easton. Looking forward to the return of Hacks.

Oh shit, that's right! Totally forgot about that show. That's based more or less on where I grew up.

is anyone else watching Shōgun on Hulu?
It is sooooo goddamn good

It looks fantastic (same showrunner as Counterpart!) but I'll wait for it to finish before starting

We're about halfway through Hijack, which is ridiculous but addictive, as Roz has said
