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.

    Precisely.

    Whatever you do... don't visit sportsurge.net for any sporting event streams.    

    But if you do... make sure an ad blocker is being used on your browser.

    I think the writers & actors strike had a lot to do with it. People no longer care.

    Maybe, though it was responsible for delaying it to smack dab in the middle of awards season (for once)

     

    man things are going to be so different for the 76th awards, No Ted Lasso, No Breaking Bad Universe, No Mrs Maisel, No The Crown (or not)

    I'm sad that Blue Bloods is ending. It was my favourite show & has been for years. It cleaned up on Friday nights for a decade & a half & allowed CBS to intro new shows on Friday nights ahead of it as it was an anchor for their programming on the worst evening for tv during the week. Like Magnum PI & later Fire Country. I hope Fridays become a wasteland for CBS now as it used to be before BB. As far as the Emmys & Academy Awards go, I'm not much of an awards show fan.

    alot of shows are ending this year, granted they weren't Awards show bait (I'm shocked that Freddie Highmore never got an emmy nod for The Good Doctor)

    Ratings have been going down for years. The anti-woke mob certainly dont watch it as well as youngling's.

    Not to mention it was on Monday against the NFL playoffs and came a week after Globes.

    The last 15 minutes of Fargo's final episode was hilarious, I had a sense of what was coming but the way they executed it was priceless.

    Plus people became more aware of these Hollywood elites trips to pedo island.

    You missed a couple of entertaining playoff games this past weekend.

    Well well well, Lorne... you come crawling back. Good for Shane. I hope his monologue is just gloating for 10 minutes straight

    "Now the Tiger is free" - yeah that was quite the ending to that season all right.
