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 don't know why they kill off stars in the first episode but then again Big Sky is still airing and they pulled that same stunt)

    To get eyeballs on the pilot. The one show that makes or breaks a TV series getting picked up, so bring in a big name to make a big splash, then settle in with the series regulars.

    well to be fair Ryan Phillipe's character was going to be killed off no matter what (Big Sky is based off a book, except his death happens in the middle of it)

    Much as they did with William Peterson and Jorja Fox, the Marg Hellgenberger in the CSI Vegas revival.  To tell the truth, the Catherine Willows character was so badly written and acted it was an act of mercy to get rid of her.

    What are we going to do tonight, Brain? 

    Same thing we do everynight, Pinky, try to take over the world! 

    I know I am late on this, but holy hell is Andor good. It isn't just good Star Wars (I always "liked" Star Wars but never really cared that deeply about the world or the characters), it is just plain good TV.

    I watched S1 of White Lotus recently, and it was super ****** up.... not sure I'm ready for S2 just yet. Started The Crown new season on Saturday afternoon and crushed through the first half of it. Have heard bad things about it and the Rotten Tomatoes score is worse than previous seasons, but at any rate, I dig it so far. It's fun in the same way the previous seasons were. Would recommend...

    Pluto tv, Tubi, name another

    this is actually surprising, I actually just finished the last episode, and it's not the best in the franchise (But it's still better than the escape clause) and I was thinking that I would be fine if it didn't get renewed

    Episode 5 of Tulsa King got a little darker, it's better than I thought it would be

    Losing touch with the humour of the situation and reality as I suspected they would, interesting to see if it becomes as ludicrous as Yellowstone.

    was not a good show.

    I only saw the trailer and thought it looked awful. They really wanted to cash in on 90s nostalgia but it clearly had nothing going for it.
