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.

Ah, shoot. I liked Altered Carbon. First season was much better but the second was enjoyable too.

I've not seen it. Is it worth watching knowing there are only 2 seasons?

Yes, absolutely. Watch the first episode of season 1 and you'll get a sense of whether or not it's for you. 

This was funny. Going to be the most watched Feud clip ever.

I lied. I'm halfway through Ep 1 and I did watch it before. I did enjoy it so I'm going to watch it again. But I've downloaded Good Omens so I think I'll watch that first (again)

Another attempt at a Fox News like network in Canada.

The News Forum on ch 1143 Bell MTS

The News Forum is a Canadian broadcast station with a mandate to provide viewers with politically balanced domestic and international perspectives, inclusive of a conservative counterbalance for the current media landscape.

Misspelled Alt-right as Centre-right. 

 

I'm sure Clement is fleecing someone out of money. 

maybe I'll check this out myself even though I'm not an MCU person

A highly entertaining documentary.  On Crave and HBO Max.

Thanks for this, but trust me - the doc is much better.

that's fair I guess, but you would amazed at what you could learn from Defunctland, like I didn't know Song of the South was based on a book, and I was shocked to learn that Comcast tried to buy disney over 15 years ago, all of a sudden, them trying to pry FOX from Disney makes sense

 

oh and last year he made an excellent Jim Henson documentary miniseries

Gonna have to sign up with Netflix again.

Maybe it's time for the show to end, I mean not all of the Chuck Lorre productions should last as long as Two and a Half Men and Big Bang did

I am so out of touch with mainstream sitcoms.

Two and a Half Men should have ended after 7 seasons, like all shows. That thing was existing on fumes for years.
