What's streaming that's good TV/movies

Episode 2 was somewhat better. Think I've figured out what was bugging me on the cinematography other than the overall gloominess and cheap look. Maybe the "gloomy" was part of the pilots first impression of a "backward" country but the whole thing looked like it was filmed for viewing on an iPhone or back of seat screen on a 757. Has a very cheap look for all of the hype.

I honestly don't feel this way at all. I think the acting, the intrigue, the world building, all of political machinations, etc I think drives the show but I think the show looks lived in and great. Some of the overheard shots of the cities are a little CGIish but this still looks great to me.

We just started watching the second season of The Outlaws on Prime Video. Pretty quirky/funny British comedy with Christopher Walken.

Ties up nice too. I think it got picked up for another season however.

Just watched 'The Program: Cons, Cults and Kidnapping' on Netflix. Really good, disturbing look at the troubled teen moneymaking industry, but still really good. One of these "schools" being featured had been operating out of Keokuk.

Definitely recommend.

I haven't watched yet, but I love Netflix documentaries. Always well done, typically the right length for the topic, and usually give multiple viewpoints.

Just finished up Silo on Apple TV plus. Really enjoyed it.

Just watched The Signal on Netflix. Really well done with great twist in the last minutes.

Filming on season 2 starts tomorrow I think. Hopefully we get it this year.

Anyone watch the 2nd Rebel Moon? Not sure why I did but I did. It certainly wasn't good but I at least enjoyed it better than the 1st. Mostly because the second half just leaned into being a straight action flick. Like the first movie it looks fantastic but there is still a lot of "WTF is this plot" and crappy dialogue. Also, I think Snyder would make a whole movie in slow motion if he could lol

I'll likely watch it. I am always testing my mantra that "Mediocre sci-fi is better than no sci-fi at all".

Baby Reindeer on Netflix. It's ******* wild.

Enjoying Fallout but have no ******* idea what's happening with Vault 33 versus Vault 31 versus Vault 4. Two more episodes to wrap the season for me and hoping for some sort of clarity. Probably unlikely with so many loose ends.

It's not free but I just watched "Neither Confirm Nor Deny" on Prime. It's a documentary about the Glomar Explorer. Really interesting.

The ending of Shogun is not going to please some people lol. I went from not liking it to actually liking it over the course of a day but my initial reaction was not great.

I actually compare it to the battle in The Hobbit. How it was portrayed in the book vs the movie series. The way you assume would be better and assume you’ll see isn’t necessarily better.

You will get more clarity on that!

Just watched the Sully Erna (singer of Godsmack) documentary on Apple TV. Very well done.

3 Body Problem is good so far.

I was planning on boyoctting it cuz the showrunners are the guys who did GoT (and ruined GoT) but it's actually pretty good.
