Second season of Orange is the New Black launched today.

 

Anyone else into this?

 

I have to admit to being a bit of a TV/movie-phile.  I generally buy Blu-Rays when there's a movie I want to see rather than just watching it on PPV or In-demand (I like to collect).

 

Premium TV has really been leading a creative resurgence in recent years, probably dating back to The Sopranos.  Its nice that Netflix has become a legitimate competitor for HBO (which puts out some really great shows like Sopranos, Deadwood, Boardwalk Empire, True Blood etc).

 

House of Cards was tremendous.

 

While cable channels like AMC are getting in on the act, I annoys me a bit.  The Walking Dead would be so much better on Netflix or HBO where they could truly appeal to adults (HBO passed on The Walking Dead when Thomas Jane was attached).

 

As for Orange, it took me a few episodes to get into last season but Im looking forward to banging out a few episodes tonight.

 

As an aside, for you Trekies, it was recently the 20th anniversary of the finale of TNG, one of the best Series' Finales in TV history.

Good gravy- this looks great

 

 

Saw a Vince Vaughn movie last night on Bittorrentflix called Brawl in Cell Block 99 and if you like violence this makes The Punisher : War Zone look PG13.

Now this violence you speak of... is it more like The Raid 2 or more fight club?

How times change.  Good for her and Prince Harry.

Not sure if we talked about it in this thread, but has anyone watched The Good Place on Netflix?  We just finished the last episode of season one.  Really enjoyed it.

god I hope this gets past Pilot mode

Well friends, I splurged last week.  Got myself a SteamTeam android box.   Finally gettin' with the times, geeez. 

So early review:  seemingly a really solid product.  Works just as advertised right out of the box.  Kodi, Netflix and a few other apps pre-installed.  Canadian company with real strong customer support history. 

Now I just have to get to all those shows I've missed.... May need to book some time off work  

Update on Ozark. Finished it. Loved it. Recommend it. Can’t wait for season 2. 

to be honest, this show started to decline when Joan Rivers died

but it won't be having celebrity guests....hmmm this sounds like the type of talk shows that ruled the 90s? you know like Jerry, Jenny, Ricki. Just kidding it sounds like it'll be a variety show type of thing but with no celebrity guests

Magnum was really good. I’m intrigued.  I prefer “sequels” to reboots. Tom Selleck works for CBS so I’d love to see him return as Magnum. At least to set it up.
