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 look forward to seeing the sibling that Lois was pregnant with in the final moments of the series

Well I'm sure D+ would love to pick up this show....that poor man is going to be tormented by so many reboots, and some characters will have to be either killed off or recast (including his son Marty his voice actress died 11 years ago)

I've stopped watching The Rookie. As soon as that new cadet came on board who had a meddling mother & a reality TV show, that was it for me. Haven't watched it since. That show could have been so good if it was grittier but they've turned it into some kind of bad dramedy.

I don't know I think that character might be gone

I wonder if one of them will end up on 911 Nashville...all things considered it would be a career upgrade considering that Ryan Murphy has alot of people under consideration for future projects

why yes a Clueless tv series already did happen, but this time Alicia Silverstone will be involved (the movie is on my watchlist)

wow, I can't believe 911 actually did it, I can't believe they actually killed off (I think I'll let the post do the talking) what sucks is that they had teased this in previous seasons but I still can't believe they went through with it

 

I wonder who will be captain now

 

Edited April 18, 2025Apr 18 by iHeart

So if it's going to be a Hulu exclusive, will it find a Canadian home on a channel like Adult Swim or CTV Comedy or even CMT Canada?

Sounds like the graphic novel will have a different ending in than the show will

 

It's nice to have something to watch in the Summer

Broke down. Got Netflix & Disney + two weeks ago. Binge watching Yellowstone right now but it only goes to the end of Season 4. Watched 1883 & hated the ending. Just watched all of Ransom Canyon, hope it gets renewed. I'll be watching all the Star Wars series on Disney Plus. One thing about being retired, work doesn't stand in the way of binge watching TV. Lol. 

Wish my parents would break down as easily as you did (except I just want Disney+)

Go to BellMTS, wait for Shaw/Rogers offer that includes free Disney+ and quit BellMTS.
