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.

Any Wheel of Time fans? Season 2 just wrapped up on Amazon, I thought it was excellent and a huge improvement over the covid-mangled first season. I appreciate how they managed to catch the story up to almost exactly where the 2nd book left off without having to gloss over too much. I find there is a lot of 'show first, explain later' and it works. Also mommy Lanfear please walk on me

My first thought was that Ice Spice was a daughter of one of the Spice Girls

100% this. My wife had to tell me it was a friend of Taylor Swift. That's about all I know so far but assumed it was a Spice Girls thing.

Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber, good and also short at 7 episodes.  Made by Brian Koppelman the same guy that created Billions, so it's also mostly obsessed with money.

I started binging Bosch a couple of weeks ago. I am loving it. 

Only downside is there are so many episodes that I am falling behind on other shows.

Season 3 of Heels on Starz has been cancelled. Damn. I loved that show. Was looking forward to it coming back. They made the announcement last week.

You’ll be missing not having more to watch in a heartbeat. I loved the progression of the case stretching the full season while each episode also had a stand alone storyline too.

Love the Bosch and Bosch Legacy S2 coming up. 

For an Amazon show thought it be more R rated.

Doo doo doo doodoo do do do do do do (it's part of the theme song for those that can't hear this)

S1 was great... This looks a little less subtle. More Marvel/FnF-ish.... But damn it I'll still watch it. The dude that plays Reacher is awesome and thankfully removes the stain of little ***** Cruise somehow playing the role.

He's just such a little *****....everyone knows it....and Reacher is supposed to be this 6'5" 250lb behemoth. I couldn't get past that.

 hmmm 911 Lonestar wasn't effected by the Strike or it would have been mentioned
