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.

Alan Ruck the actor that plays Connor Roy in Succession was Ferris Bueller's buddy.

Are you just realizing that Cameron is on Succession? 

Wait until he finds out about Jason Bateman!

Sorry, why would I ever make that connection?  I'm unfamiliar with the actor, "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" came out in 1987, I haven't re-watched the movie since it came out 36 years ago.

Makes sense. Keeps the memory of Mia Sara locked in.

A friendly reminder that it is May and the axe is getting sharpened

Oh dear, I hope that darn strike has nothing to do with this (because I get the kids will be taller by the time the strike is over and wanted to avoid waiting to long like Stranger Things has done)...talking about Sweet Tooth on Netflix

The writer's strike has ended SNL's season, so fans of Succession are losing a Kieran Culkin hosting gig and well the White Lotus Fans aren't going to be happy about the other one because this is one they prayed for

Wow, what a disappointment, it sounds like they couldn't make it work with Costner to finish it up properly.

hmmm I wonder where the Discovery channel will go (do we really need JoyTV?)

any Lasso fans here? This week's episode, IMHO, is arguably the best in the entire series so far. Two weeks ago, after watching the Succession ep that we've all been waiting for, I said "this is the best episode of TV I've ever seen in my life", and after watching this week's Lasso I said "I've never enjoyed an episode of TV as much as I have this one"..... we're really in a golden age of prestige TV. 

And then there's people watching ******* reality shows........

Just watched Succession S4E3 and all I can say is wow.

the phrase "tour de force" gets thrown around a lot, but that episode....... might be the best acting I've ever seen.

Ah, screw them. They took it off Paramount & put it on Paramount + so I never saw the final season. Same with Tulsa King. Don't care.

What I saw was that part of 5A was not on the Paramount channel here in Canada then it was and so was TK afaik.

5/6 seems okay for a series now adays and with one season of 1883, multiples of 1923 and upcoming 6666 and Lawmen: Bass Reeves and you'll get your fill of Sheridan.

Also VPN and torrent.

@Noeller I was quite upset with how S3E9 of Ted Lasso started but in the end a spectacular example of excellent writing that the series is known for.

I have loved this entire season to varying levels. The "Tulips" episode in Netherlands is, I believe, the best episode of the entire series so far..... this last episode was quite good all the way through, I thought. They handled delicate subjects perfectly. 

Best Quotes: 

-"STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN IS A GLORIFIED FINGERING EXERCISE AND YOU ALL KNOW IT!!" 

-"Every one of you knows I don't have a hairy ass and not ONE of you said a damn thing!!" 

What a ******* show...
