Ha. I was going to ask you if you had watched this show. Season 3 is actually done (I'm halfway through it)

Looking forward to it. Are you using Amazon to watch it now?

Definitely an interesting show.  I did enjoy the first season.

Watched the first few eps of new season of the  Peaky "fookin" Blinders.  Hot right out of the gate.  Love it.

Took the family to see The Last Jedi.  Plenty of good and bad, I don't have anything to add to what's already said in that thread..

Watched Kingsman The Golden Circle last night.  I enjoyed it,  was entertained throughout.  Not nearly as much as the first one, though.  Word is, there will be a 3rd.

i watched it saturday night and thought the same thing. i'm glad that colin firth was brought back. i thought the elton john story line was good. julianne moore was a good villain. thought channing tatum's character could have been done by almost any other actor for a lot less money than what he likely charged for his 7 minutes of screen time. looking forward to the third movie.

Almost done with Manhunt.  This is in line with the People vs OJ Simpson.  Just an amazing series about the Unibomber.

Agree on every point.  Elton was probably my favorite part.  I liked that the metal dogs were named bennie and jet.

finally started ozarks. pretty solid so far. about 4 episodes in.

breaking bad meets fargo. great show.

Watched The Darkest Hour yesterday. It starts slow but gets better. Gary Oldman does a great job portraying Winston Churchill. I can see why some critics have commented it's Oscar worthy.

Sorry, missed this. 

Watching it on Terrarium. 

( Hulu has it, too, from what I've been told)

Black Mirror season 4. Not quite as gripping or innovative as previous seasons, but still really good. The last episode is particularly disturbing.

I just started this series.  Is it like the Twilight Zone, where every episode is independent of each other?  It's definitely a bit trippy.

Ok. Thanks for update. I don't have any of those so I'll just wait for now.

Yep, exactly. There are easter eggs tying some of the episodes together, so it's possible that they all take place in the same universe. But every episode is independent, and each is a kind of cautionary tale about technology.

Just started The Crown season 2.

Interesting show about the inter working of the English royalty and all the history that goes with it.

[cez]

finally got around to season 2 of Stranger Things. slow start, but it was good. 

the crown season 2 is next...well, as soon as i finish Oathbringer by Sanderson.

I loved the second season.  Could have done without episode seven, kind of seemed like a throw away.

I think it's my favorite show right now. The episode that Jodie Foster directed was downright unsettling, like most of them.

Still loving Schitt's Creek. I think we are on season 3.

Best written comedy show on television right now. So good, and somehow it get even better as it goes.

[AngelsLakersFan]

Finished watching 'Worm Wood' on Netflix. Great documentary / drama about a man who's spent most of his adult life trying to prove that his father was murdered by the CIA.

The conclusions are frightening yet quite plausible, but you can decide for yourself. Really enjoyed the dramatic elements intertwined with the more traditional documentary style.

[mrwicked]

Started The Crown.

I'm a big fan of period pieces, particularly non-fiction. We are loving it so far.

watched Dunkirt last night. meh. my daughter wanted to see it primarily because one of the lads from One Direction was in it. It wasn't much for dialogue, and i don't think they captured well for people unfamiliar with the story exactly all that this battle meant.

Dilly, Dilly! Same here. I thought it was monotonous, and didn't explain well enough what this meant both before and after. My daughters wore googling it during the movie, and pointing out the OneD kid.

Odds are that without this evacuation, the US never enters European theater of WW2.

Years ago, during a free starz weekend, i set tivo for Black Sails.  There must have been a marathon on another weekend recently, because we found 38 episodes.  We are about 30 in.  I am entertained.  Predictable but enjoyable.  Some pretty good 'scenery' too.

We are 2 shows into season 2. It continues to be really good.

Saw the Disaster Artist (at alamo drafthouse).

Thought it was great. The Room has a huge cult following around here, and I've seen it quite a few times. I thought James Franco did really well, but not the magnum opus some people are calling it. But definitely enjoyable.
