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.

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.

The development of the other characters around Carmi is what I am enjoying most about this season. I sure hope this indicates that future seasons are in the works or why else spend so much time on character development.

I think they made it quite obvious that there would be future seasons..... and judging by the popularity, it's a certainty.

There will definitely be a third season, when? who know's how long the strike will last.

Who's the Boss and The Facts of Life have been added to Pluto Tv

Only Murders In The Building was one of those shows that took me 3 or 4 tries to get past the first episode. Now I am hooked. Half way through Season 1, and Martin Short is at the top of his game.

OMITB is brilliant..... I knew from reading the original premise that I would love it. I didn't know anything about Gomez except that I think she once dated Bieber... but that's about it. Martin and Martin are brilliant... among the best performances of their lives on this show. Wife and I wait (quite impatiently every week) for the new episode to drop. The sub-Reddit for the show is a lot of fun, as well... so many theories!!

She was on a popular Disney channel show from 2007-2012 (Wizards of Waverly Place) and believe it or not she got her start on Barney

Bad Bunny will be great. 

This is a big platform for Ice Spice. 

Haven't watched SNL since the days of Murphy, Sandler, Farrell, Rock, Farley and Myers

So lost... I am a very old man.

So one more episode of Ashoka, not sure if I liked the series, binged The Morning Show two first seasons and have caught up, for the most part am enjoying it. Now gotta find a new series

Bad Bunny is a Puerto Rican rapper. He's huge. Also wrestles with the WWE. 

Ice Spice is Bronx rapper, who's just released her 2nd(?) album. She was featured on the Barbie movie soundtrack.

I will give it a look, I decided on the Last of Us

Also a great choice.  Rez Dogs eps are short - usually under 30 minutes.  If you're not sucked in after the first 2 episodes, it's not for you.

You would also suck.☺️
