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.

I think this would probably work best as a limited series, because well we all know what Miyam Bialik is currently doing

Watched geralds game on netflix. It was pretty damn good. Not for every one though. Its tense, hard to watch at the best of times, and very claustrophobic. But soo good.

You shut your mouth!  If LD turns out to be a legit creeper I'm 100% done with TV.

Like Seinfeld, that would just ruin too much of my world.

its weird, its like my PC decides what pics to allow me to see lol.  Sometimes they come thru, others they just gimme the weird file name.   I think it has something to do with my filters setup on my work comp.

I used to watch Total Drama like crazy when it was on.....I can't believe they're going the Muppet babies route

Watching Manhunt: Unabomber on netflix. Really good series and a terrific cast including Chris Noth, Sam Worthington, Paul Bettany and Keisha Castle-Hughes.

I saw on tv yesterday they are turning Corner Gas into an animated series. TBH I'm not a fan of the show and I can't imagine it being a cartoon is going to suddenly breathe new life into it, making it a good show, or suddenly appeal to a younger audience...

yeah I saw that last night too when I was watching football with my cousins. Can it work? I don't see why not, but will people watch? maybe, I know my parents probably will (my dad likes a good animated comedy, that's why he keeps watching family guy  even though it's getting worse, and my mother supported the kickstarter for the movie)

they announced the animated Corner Gas at least a year ago....curious to see how it'll work out for them. I'm a huge fan of the show, in spite of it being about Saskatchewan. Hoping for good things, but we shall see...

Also watching season 2 of The Crown on Netflix. Very well done series. Many of us have British roots and it’s a nice touch of “home”.

I'm finally watching season 2. Only seen the first the episode but it picked up right where the last left off. Brilliant, so far.

Have they done anything of note since that show?
