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 didn't think DVR Software would be able to pull off something so mean (they're not airing Game show Carmen it's Netflix Carmen)

DVR's usually have these glitches that sometimes when a reboot of something is airing they usually put episode or program info about the original series (oddly they should be having a graphic of Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego because I consider Netflix Carmen Sandiego to be a reboot of WoEiCS with several computer game easter eggs, even though they did do a certain little theme song once but that was in the interactive special)

The final three for the Amazing Race Canada is set, and for the second straight year we have a team from Winnipeg in the finale (yes Ty and Kat are in the finals as well)

This would be all fine and good if the Surreal Life had a Canadian home (I can't seem to get the show on a torrent, and it's not on Pluto TV Canada, I don't have Paramount+) we also have a second generation cast member here Josie Canseco is the daughter of Jose Canseco

Anyone watching Only Murders In The Building? Martin and Martin really are fabulous and a lot of the guest characters have been wonderful additions. Still can't quite figure out the "Whodunit" of it all, but I've at least got some theories and educated guesses......

I always have a personal theory that the people that do this show would normally later do the Masked Singer (though Barry Williams did it a year ago)

 

come on we don't want to give FOX a reason to revive the Masked Dancer

The show has already been renewed for season 11 but a different judge will be sitting on the panel that season

I just finished season 1 of Foundation (Apple TV) and am a couple of episodes into season 2. 

This is an excellent show. I'm really enjoying it. The story, based on Asimov's Foundation series, feels fresh and interesting. 

If you have Apple TV and are interested in sci-fi, you should be watching.

My wife and I love this show and have been waiting for Season 3 to drop. Just starting watching season 3 a couple days ago. It's been fun seeing some of the old SCTV actors working again. Martin Short and Andrea Martin here, Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara in Schitt's Creek.

This was to my knowledge, Gerry Anderson's first foray into children's sci fi on tv in 1960. I remember this show well. I used to race home to watch it after school on CBC. 

 

Then Gerry Anderson came up with Fireball XL-5 in 1962.

we don't have Crave anymore, but when I did, I really enjoyed season 1. Going to find a way to watch S2.... I thought it was really interesting. Shame it didn't get a 3rd...

I don't know what the Crave service has that the Crave channels (formerly Movie Networks) don't (but then again I have HBO so probably that)

So I think we're through 7 episodes now (Richie interns at the fancy restaurant), but holy **** episode 6 with all the guest stars. I thought I'd seen the best episode of TV I'd ever seen earlier this year with the Logan's Dead episode of Succession...... I think we have a new winner with The Bear S2 E6...... that was insanity. I was watching at least one person win an Emmy "in real time" last night........ truly incredible. That episode was a clinic....

I watched this yesterday morning and will need to watch it again as  I didn't see the same as you. I found the chaos overwhelming and had a hard time following along. I did love the transformation of Ritchie in EP7 "I wear suits now".

I've talked to a few people who much preferred E7 because it was a much easier watch. I didn't mind the chaos of E6 (though I understand how hard that is to watch, and it can be panic-inducing for people who have lived through similar situations) and thought it was a master class in acting, not to mention directing and cinematography. The choreography of that episode was brilliant. They're going to win so many Emmy's next year for that episode...

For episode 6, I think the panic, anxiety, etc for the viewer is exactly what they were going for, and they nailed it.

Episode 7 was also a really great episode. I also really enjoyed the one where Marcus was overseas honing his skills.

also a great ep, indeed.... getting some back-story on Carmen's work over in Netherlands and his impact on the chef over there was really cool. 

The show is so well written but as will all great shows it's the characters that draw you in. Carmen is the focal point but all the supporting characters all play a vital part and really make this show hum.
