HBO has cancelled Westworld. I won’t miss it, it was a confusing show after season 1.
OT: TMB TV/Streaming Shows Club: Thread for streaming/TV show discussion…
- Thread starter Midnighter
- Start date
I liked the first season but couldn’t muster enough energy and interest to get through S2. Seems like it just got more convoluted the bigger the world got.
But I could watch Evan Rachel Wood and Tessa Thompson all day every day.
Midnighter's gif in another thread reminded me: reboot (Hulu) is fantastic!
Did Anthony Hopkins return at some point? That may make me reconsider for when nothing else is on. Caught 'Silence of the Lambs' on TV this weekend and Lecter still holds up as terrifying...
Update: Disney+’s Andor series is a triumph of adult storytelling.
I watched the first 3 episodes with my son last night and agree it's very good. I was extremely sceptical after giving up on the two previous Star Wars series for being boring, poorly acted or just plain stupid.
Gangs of London S2 starts 11/17 on AMC +. Re-watching S1 on Roku channel. Will wait until all S2 episodes are out to see how I can stream without an AMC + subscription. Indications are the character of Sean Wallace will not be in S2 as he was shot in the last episode of S1. Good action show.

The fight scene choreographer is terrific the actors are pretty good as well.
Series finale of Atlanta this week was wonderful (as was the season on the whole) - just nothing like it on TV. Four near perfect seasons with few missteps. Donald Glover and his team created a true piece of art that IMO, is Top Ten all time. You just don't see surreal serialized television like this anywhere. Instead of putting a bow on everyone's story in the final episode, Atlanta gave each of it's four stars an episode of closure, ending with stoner/philosopher Darius seemingly trapped in a time loop resulting from his weekly sensory deprivation sessions in a water suspension tank. It leads to several hilarious (and one very sad) encounters with people from his past. By the end, we're not sure if he's still in the loop, or not (heavy nod to Inception here). This scene was one of my favorites....
Disney + tonight 10:30 Elton John live last concert from Dodger Stadium.

Am linking this here because I can't find the "movie" thread. This site needs a better search function.
Anyway this looks like a hoot....
Yeah but it is said it’s easy to do a search for the “appropriate” thread!
Cocaine Bear, wild!!!
Just saw previews on HBOMAX for the “movies” Amsterdam (12/6) & Banshees of Inisherin (12/10). Does this go in movies or streaming? Asking for a friend!
I also think Devotion looks pretty good but I'm a Johnathan Majors fan.Just saw previews on HBOMAX for the “movies” Amsterdam (12/6) & Banshees of Inisherin (12/10). Does this go in movies or streaming? Asking for a friend!

Oh, I only watch Pictures.
and here I thought this was an Imax thread only.
No trailers!!!!
Not sure if discussed/recommended but The Peripheral on Prime is really scratching that near-future dystopian/alt history sci-fi itch. Feels a bit like the adult version of Ready Player One - except that when you enter the virtual world, it’s actually the future. Chloe Grace Moretz is the only name here but she’s wonderful and the show is solid.

Yeah, I tried but was so lost after 3 eps that I gave up. I had no idea what was happening or why. Smarter people than I (yes, 98% of the viewing audience) will no doubt carry it.
My brother has seen all the episode so he’s filling in blanks when I have them. It’s a bit convoluted but he says everything comes together…
The new series based on the Louise Penny books about Chief Inspector Gamache in Quebec Province in Three Pines just dropped and it’s great.
HBOMAX Shaq documentary, 4 parts. Fascinating look at one of the most dominant players in NBA history. He is also quite the character.

I think he's funny. I love the interaction with he and Barkley.
Alert: The Banshees of Inisherin now streaming on HBOMAX. Same team as the In Bruges gang. A great film.
I have a “secret source” saw it already and “meh”. Watching Bowie doc today,
Moonage Daydream
Watched Bullet Train last night and had a pretty good time with it. David Leitch (Deadpool, John Wick, Atomic Blonde) directs and has a great cast to work with. It’s flimsy as all hell but mostly a harmless romp. It’s a bit too long but some good, violent fun with Brad Pitt, Bryan Tyree Henry, future Mr James Bond Aaron Taylor Johnson, and some surprise cameos. On Netflix.
Yeah it was a fun flick. Amsterdam was entertaining also. A rewatch of the Banshees of Inisherin will also be on tap. Still have to catch All Quiet on The Western Front
Finally got to Banshees last night. I liked it quite a bit but it also bummed me out; definitely well-written. I thought AQotWF was incredible.
Gangs of London S2 quite violent and bloody and compelling AMC +
Slow Horses, Oldman spy show S2, AppleTV. Good show.
