What movies or TV shows are you watching now?

Crossbones a pirate romp but not as good as black sails.

The Vietnam War. This brilliant 5 part series pulls no punches, shows the futility of the war and the stupidity of those US leaders who involved the US in it. A lot of footage unseen before. I found this as gripping as any TV series I've seen.

Second one is even better

Watching season 2 of THE TUNNELL just gripping as was season 1

[coops]

Just finished 'Big Little Lies' - entertaining and only 7 episodes... although the final episode plot twist which had been building up to all the while is a bit M Night Shyamalan on a bad 'The Village' day, and not in a good way which I think he used to have once upon a time....

 

Even worse than that, is the rumour of a second season, which is purely an exercise in milking a cow that's already done and dry and ready for the big dog food butcher's block in the sky. 

 

Better off watching 'Ozark' if you haven't got around to it...

 

Narcos latest season was fine enough - and while on the war on drugs malarkey, we recently saw 'American Made' - was planning to see 'Baby Driver' as it sounds fun, but wasn't out yet during daytime shows, so a Tom Cruise movie it was...

 

Now, utter bampot he might well be... but he is also most definitely a remarkable movie star... even when you roll your eyes at his name and etc etc... he still pulls it off.

 

Great fun and amusingly ridiculous yet plausible.

 

I recently read an article which noted his style of aging is to progressively look like a Sandi Toskvig impersonator

Just finished first two episodes of Star Trek Discovery ... looks promising to me.  So far, more like The Expanse or BattleStar Galactica type of intensity and less like other Star Trek series to date.  Sonequa Martin-Green (who played Sasha in The Walking Dead) looks great.  A gal named Emily Coutts plays nice looking redhead named Detmer.  No Uhura (from the original Star Trek) like character though

“The Street” - quite an Old series & possibly more entertaining for somebody who grew up in that kind of community, I loved it...

Safe House, 4th & final episode of season 2 should be out in a couple of days so if you like to binge watch series as if they were a movie, leave it to the weekend

Also enjoying Liar, Mr Mercedes & Channel Zero... thanks to all who mentioned them.

No need to apologise it was difficult to watch but S2 seems much improved but I am struggling with finding new content. The sinner was ok upto episode 6 but went wayward after that.

[tlcwaterfall]

Just finished Salvation and now watching The Good Place.

 

Both are on Terrarium.

You’ve got to pace yourself man! If you binge watch TV series then you will run out of stuff as they can’t be made that fast. I don’t allow myself to watch Netflix until after 8pm, and I watch a couple of episodes max. I find that I always have a queue of stuff to watch plus something to look forward to in the evenings.

How about less popular series like Bates Motel or Orphan Black? I quite enjoyed both of these so far.

I don't watch new content till 1am and I watch 2 episodes (90 mins) of stuff and then lights out. But I have binged in the past. The orphan black one I was not much into tbh. 

 

This animal kingdom 2 though,  is that correct the mom was abusing the son/s?  Similar back story in Mr Mercedes too.

 

I watched narcos s3 over a week I was pleased with drawing out that long.

[bkk6060]

Hope I don't offend anyone.

My buddy brought me digitized DVD's from Hong Kong of The Devil in Miss Jones and Deep Throat.

I know, porn movies.  But, they did start a revolution that became a billion dollar industry.

Anyway,  brought back old memories of my college buddies and me going to a dump of a theatre in LA called "La Cave".

Sneaking in some beer and watching the flicks with buddies.  Great memories!!

I agree, its outstanding in every way.  Took ten years to make apparently.

If the French had waddled away, as the British did in Malaisia and Burma, there would have been no Program.

What program? I know if the US hadn't stuck their nose in hundred of thousands of people wouldn't have been killed, and they wouldn't have had to go home with their tail between their legs.

Watch the series, you'll bash the US as well. Don't be brainwashed into thinking they are always the good guys. PS the series shows the French occupation and eventual withdrawal, so I am familiar with what happened.

The Beguiled

A dream comes true that turns into a nightmare...

Cpl. John McBurney is an injured Union soldier who finds himself on the run as a deserter during the Civil War. He seeks refuge at an all-female Southern boarding school where the teachers and students seem more than willing to help. Soon, sexual tensions lead to dangerous rivalries as the women tend to his wounded leg while offering him comfort and companionship.

I started this POLL thread recently on a topic closely related to this one. It seems like it's another DUD thread (oh well!), but I thought why not post it here in case anyone here is interested:

It's available somewhere on the net since I have all 10 episodes downloaded.  I can't remember where I got them though.  At around 2 hours per episode, it's going to take a while to watch this series but I've yet to see Ken Burns' documentaries that I didn't like.

All 10 episodes are bundled together in a 9.78 GB file on TPB. (The Vietnam War E1 - E10.....)

As a lifelong movie buff, an interesting side effect for me of so much high quality video entertainment is that I've slacked off on catching up on "must see" movies. I can't really explain that. There are still lots of great movies as well. Perhaps it's that the t.v. series are so time consuming it just sucks up most of the potential movie watching time. 

Reading BOOKS has also taken a big, big hit. I'm not proud of that but I reckon it's an international trend.

Very true about books. I always had a book on the go, but now very rarely since the past couple of years with Netflix etc. That’s even with my Kindle, I used it non-stop for years but not anywhere near as much now - feeling guilty as reading is great.
