What TV Series Are You Streaming Lately?

I like him. His first two books were outstanding but this show mirrors the first 6 or 8 books pretty well. I think you'd enjoy them

Nope. When it comes to reading fiction it's either something very classic or some low brow sci-fi or s/s stuff without much in between.

I did, because clearly the actor is too young for Vietnam. It was pretty convenient to move it to Afganistan though.

Did you notice how they changed him from a Vietnam vet in the first show? I was wondering how they were going to handle that. It's just such a big part of who Harry Bosch is .

Beginning my annual watch of Band of Brothers. (I might have missed the past few years.) Snow always triggers me to watch this show.

It's amazing how many of the British actors with bit parts have since become famous. Solid casting.

I just rewatched this not too long ago. I just saw the last time I watched (maybe 4 months ago) that Michael Fassbender was in it! I still think that my favorite actor from the mini series was Neal Mcdonough. I've seen him lately in the tv series Suits. He has a quite the variety of roles that he has played. I usually watch The Pacific around the same time as well.

Streamed the first few eps of Red Oaks in the last couple of nights. Sort of a setting that's been done before, the inner machinations of a Jersey country club, but this is set in the 80s and fairly funny. The music is like a sound track of my early days.

Excellent documentary miniseries. The entire history of the island.

Netflix really went international with the different historians it interviewed. Great plurality of views on various points of debate.

Just saw the first two episodes of "The OA", seems really promising with interesting story and solid performances from all the actors.

Update on this, just finished the first season.
It starts off really strong and just gets more and more interesting, but it unfortunately didn't keep it up, starting to collapse a little around episode 5.
Although the finale was extremely surprising, it was almost so surprising that you felt annoyed with just how left-field and out of the blue it was, not at all en episode that really tied it all together or provided satisfactory answers imo.
The creators probably wanted people to notice a lot of details and piece them together in the final 2-3 episodes (sort of similar to Westworld), but I don't think it was done well enough.

Would have rated the first half of the season an 8/10, then the following 4 episodes each dropped half a grade.
But then to my surprise I read a thing on reddit I had completely missed, which bumped the finale rating back up to probably like a 7.5/10 again.

tl;dr: very promising, not the best execution, still hope it gets a second season to clear up a whole shitton of things

Discovered the show last night. I think it's very good (at least through episode 4). As usual I'm quite worried about where they plan on taking this. But so far so good

Tried out a few comedies recently including a couple OK British ones: Chewing Gum and Crashing, but You're the Worst is making me laugh right now.

+10000
And the best thing is it just gets better and better, easily one of my favorite series ever

- How could she possibly be able to read english w/o braille? That coupled with French bumping into Rahim at night, Rahim had probably just planted those books.
- Then again there are lots of things that are weird with what Prairie says as well, like just for one when her father was supposedly holding 21 waxcandles, there were only 18 in the shot.
- There's a whole ton of connections and references to Russian and Slavic mythology which is just really cool in general. There's also a theory about her story being a mix of stories she heard as a child and the actual reality.
- Nancy is just all around really ******* weird, not at all unlikely there's more to her than the side that was cemented in the first 5-6 episodes
- Rachel might be either working together with Hap from the start, or they are both working with Rahim/FBI/cover-up, seeing how Hap for some reason never experiments on her even though she's the only one who wasn't given a movement. Also, for some reason there's braille on the wall in the FBI reception where Rahim is talking with Nancy & Abel which spells out "RACHEL".
- BBA's brothers name is Theo, which would make it Theo A assuming neither have switched surnames. Theo A -> THEOA -> The OA ???????
I really want season 2 now

Hell on Wheels - I think its overlooked because in these days its looked down on to be a rebel or a cowboy or especially a white rebel. its sad but true and it is what it is. I like the show but I grew up watching spaghetti westerns so I am "biased".

Hell on Wheels was ******* awesome and it's a ******* shame how unappreciated it is.
