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.

    So, I've been watching re-runs of the original tv series, Lost In Space on Shaw's Silver Screen Classics. I was an avid watcher when it was on television back in the mid 60's. Some of the monsters freaked me out back then. But I haven't watched it in half a century. I had forgotten just how bad it was. The cheap special effects, the over the top acting by Jonathan Harris who played Dr Zachary Smith & the (now) less than scary monsters. Looking back, I feel sorry for the adult actors in that series who signed on for what was supposed to have been a serious sci fi series. But after the pilot they added Harris & The Robot. The series quickly revolved around those 2 characters along with Billy Mumy who played the 10 year old genius Will Robinson with less & less storylines about the others. Still fun to watch all these years later. 

    Im rewatching the Netflix show before season 2 airs. Almost 2 years since season 1 😮

    Cringe worthy and not just because of Molly Parker.

    I've never seen the current tv series. She's (Parker) obviously not keeping the home fires burning on the Jupiter 2 for her husband John Robinson like June Lockhart's character did back in 1966.

    The final Man in the High Castle season dropped today on Netflix.  Excellent series.   Looking forward to finishing it off.

    Yes you’re correct.  I had Netflix on the brain.   Season 3 of the Crown drops this weekend in Netflix though!

    I’m excited for that story.  But that’s interesting casting Of Clinton.  

    Totally can see Clive doing it.

    K.

    I've got Netflix (for the wife to watch old who-dunnits), Amazon prime for Top Gear Grand Tour and am thinking of dropping one for Disney+. Still got Cable as well. Is Mandalorian and new Marvel worth it? I bought Blu Ray on Infinity War and Endgame already. Trying to think if I can drop Netflix and not piss off the wife too bad. She has MeTV so we PVR Perry Mason, Matlock, Charlies Angels and something else already.

     

    We're in the same boat... Seriously considering splitting both with our neighbours. We'll use their Flix and they'll use our Disney+.... Thinking about it anyhow.

    Hey @kelownabomberfan Since you can sponge off you know who anymore, I'll trade you my Netflix login for a D+ Login?

    If you’re on the fence one idea might be to wait until Mandalorian is fully released and then get Disney.  You get a free train for a week so you can binge it and decide if the rest of the service is worth keeping.   There is a lot on there and if I had kids I’d have it. But I don’t see a ton of must watch.

    MeTV is just art of the cable package. It showed up one day.

    No kids here either. But I'm sure my wife would watch old Disney shows.

    But that's not a bad idea. Did that with Prime and then started ordering more **** from Amazon so I'm keeping that one.
