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.

      This is true for the majority of people though.  This is human nature.  All of us have said and done stupid things in our 20s but it never used to be on social media forever.     “Cancelling” f

    it's hard to do, but Tim Allen is an example of where I need to separate his entertainment work from his personal politics. I have read some quotes from him that absolutely disgusted me, and I don't think much of him as a member of the general society. But.... I loved Home Improvement when I was a kid, have enjoyed some of his stand up in the past, the Toy Story movies are of course fantastic, and the Santa Clause movies are an important tradition in our house. So I really have to work hard to disassociate the person from the product...

    I didn't think it was going to go forward with the HBO max shakeup

    Just watched the bear on Disney. Great story telling. Great character development. If you've ever worked in a restaurant atmosphere, or more importantly enjoy shows with substance. This is a great series

    Haven't watched anything this compelling in a long while

    I'm glad this was no longer popular when my kids were young. Same a Barney. I did have to deal with In The Midnight Garden, for a short period. 

    eh even if Barney did find himself back on the airwaves I doubt he'll reach popularity stratosphere again

    That show would be amazing to watch on LSD.

    Highly recommend watching "The Offer", a 10 part mini-series on the making of "The Godfather", unbelievable story, very well done. 

    I love this show so much!

    I bought DVD box sets of Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound, Augie Doggie and Bugs Bunny to make sure my kids were raised right.

    They turned out to be very funny people.

    Not sure Hallmark season actually ends on the W channel.

    yeah well Christmas is when they usually have a tidal wave of holiday films

    Tried to watch "Dahmer" but it was gruesome and there was nothing at all interesting about it as the main character has the personality of a dead slug. I don't know why they thought this story would be compelling.  As far as serial killers go, "To Catch a Killer" the series on John Wayne Gacy made in 1992 with Brian Dennehy, was a much more compelling character study.  Also would recommend the film "The Iceman" released in 2012 about the notorious mafia hitman Richard Kuklinski as a good watch.
