OT: TMB TV/Streaming Shows Club: Thread for streaming/TV show discussion…
- Thread starter Midnighter
- Start date
I thought Bosch with more Honey Chandler and daughter screen time was well done. Looking forward to the next season.
I haven't watched it yet, but reviews are not good. I find many of the big budget Netflix films fall into that category.
Just started season three yesterday. Really good show. I've enjoyed it and I never really watch TV outside of sports. The last time I really watched a show like this was Succession season three.
I only started it because I needed something to watch while I run on the elliptical in the morning. Happy I did. Great show.
No context scene from episode six - sort of alleviates my concerns about Death’s casting…
What We Do In The Shadows has been a hoot thus far. Nadja running a vampire nightclub, Laszlo raising Colin Robinson in his new form of a child growing up quickly ( Laszlo never using his name, just calling him “boy”), Nandor seeking out his wife from past lives and using a Djinn to get rid of the failures, and Guillermo holding it all down and being romantically desired by The Guide (Kristen Scholl) who has banged Van Helsings in the past. A fun ride.
The Terminal List. It’s on Amazon prime. We are on episode 5 and I like it. The first episode I wasn’t sure but after the second I was hooked. It’s one season and there are 8 one hour episodes!

Finished it this week…I would completely agree…great series!!
Just watched it. Not bad. Premise like 007 meets Taken. Nothing to distinguish it from other shoot-em-ups.
I don’t know if you’re a reader. The book is better. It’ll be a little less climatic but not the same as the book. Plus there’s 5 books in the series.
I’m a huge book worm but usually read psychological thrillers. I just finished the show two nights ago. The book is usually always Better than the movie/show. Based on the book/series do you think there will be a second season?
I heard they’re planning on doing all of his books if people keep watching. I think Pratt has a contract with Amazon.
It’s a way more intricate plot and intricate outcome in the book. They really condensed it for the show but the show is more “psychological” than the book.
My wife and I just watched the first episode of the Terminal List. I liked it a lot, my wife is on the fence.
My wife started on Netflix's Inventing Anna, and I got somewhat hooked. It's based on a true story, and is nine episodes long. I think the story could have been told in a few less episodes, but perhaps that's part of the story -- how mesmerizing Anna Sorokin was to almost everyone she met, even if she was something between a con artist and someone that had a captivating presence but was in way over her abilities.
I'd give it a 6 out of 10 -- perhaps a 6.5.

Does anyone plan to watch "House of the Dragon" on August 21?
It would have been much better to focus on Anna instead of the writer who is beyond irritating.
Better question - does anyone plan to not watch?
Yeah, George R.R. Martin seems pretty stoked about this one. Just grabbed Fire & Blood to read ahead of viewing.
I've started watching This Is Going to Hurt and I like it so far but I don't imagine that a series about a British ob/gyn will be everyone's cup of tea
I guess you got tired of Call the Midwife.
No, my wife liked that one but I never watched it. Oddly that never interested me but I can see that there are similarities.
Can’t wait. Going to watch at night before bed since I’m on vacation. Early reviews are very positive!
I was an avid comic book collector through college and Sandman was a must buy. So happy this seems to have exceeded expectations.
Netflix's Sandman has achieved the impossible
Don't give up on your dreams, kids!

Completed it. Wow, what a dark series, but well worth the watch. Had never read any of the graphic novels but the story sucked me in. A shame they couldn’t continue with American Gods, but that was on STARZ and probably lacked support.

I fell asleep the first time I tried to watch Ep. 1 of Sandman. Was that supposed to happen?
I attempted to watch this last night. I made it more than halfway through because I hoped it would get better but eventually had to turn it off. FWIW I thought it was one of the worst shows/movies I have seen in awhile. I think the premise was good but the execution was so beyond ridiculous it was laughable.
I can see that. It was basically cheap thrills. On the other hand, like Bourne, they could make it better in a second movie.
OK, now I've fallen asleep 3 times trying to get through episode 1 of Sandman. I haven't hated it when I was watching it ... I can't put my finger on it. It's slow. It's quiet. So maybe that's it. But there was enough to keep me going back for round 4, maybe. I'll just have to have a coffee beforehand.
I felt like it was non stop action (done poorly IMO) without building the characters and story line. Maybe I would have felt differently if I knew more about the directors history going into it I guess
