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.

hmmm I hope this means they're making room for the upcoming Nancy Drew series, even if it has to be a mid-season replacement

and it looks like Mad About You is going to be revived after all....but on a streaming service I'm don't think Canada has access to

Well one thing about Netflix is, they're super secretive about their viewership but they have detailed info...I assume people just didnt watch it.   I'd like to see some more adult drama's in the vein of OITNB (like HBO is known for) on Netflix to keep me interested.

god I love this idea, he goes from playing a detective in a movie franchise (but then again I guess Scooby Doo doesn't count as a movie franchise) to playing the father of one

well I am finally caught up on stranger things (got it from the library since I don't have netflix, nothing will convince my parents to get the streaming service, NOTHING and my mother's a fan of Gilmore Girls and Sam Elliott, she so mad when he lost the oscar, but I had to keep reminding her that, hey at least he's nominated for something you should be happy about that) and well I don't have the right words to describe it. It's not bad though it was good enough for me to come back for more (but I had to wait and watch it with my mother because she was curious about it) I do love the nostalgic 80s feeling about it mostly because it felt like a bygone era where kids could go out without supervision and such (did they really used to give our full size candy bars on Halloween? because I am not old enough to remember the 80s)  well the show kind of reminds me of South Park if they didn't drop F Bombs

 

so mild spoilers and minor opinions

Spoiler

Am I the only person that wishes that Nancy and Jonathan would get together? I really felt bad watching Bob get eaten by those Demidogs as Dustin called it (Sean Astin has survived Pirates and a journey to melt a ring completely and he couldn't survive a bunch of demidogs), I mean at least he died a hero in there, well at least someone was finally brave enough to go in there and fetch Barb's body so her parents could have closure. So now that we know what Eleven's real name is, will she now be referred to as that since that birth certificate showed it

maybe when the live action Carmen Sandiego companion piece drops, but something tells me that it's going to be a live action remake of the first two episodes, no drop date was announced

iHeart, I don't know your age. You could be a HS student for all I know or someone in their 20's but if you want something & your parents don't want to pay for it then you need to pay for it yourself. They've earned the right to say no. 

You just have to find something on Netflix your parents will love.  😉

YES!

https://tvline.com/2019/03/21/schitts-creek-renewed-season-6-pop/

 

and btw MAY 31ST

https://tvline.com/2019/03/21/deadwood-movie-trailer-hbo-revival-video-premiere-date/

 

official announcement should be soon

https://tvline.com/2019/03/21/the-conners-season-2-goodman-gilbert-metcalf-goranson-renew/

and it's official but not all the deals are ironed out yet (most of the cast is expected to show up in some capacity)

This could be really awesome.  Especially on HBO and with Tim Van Patten involved.
