What's streaming that's good TV/movies

[ISUChippewa]

So, I just started watching "Yellowjackets", now that Showtime has merged with Paramount Plus.

And...wow...what a fantastic show. At times I'm skeptical of the shows or movies that everyone raves about; I remember how disappointed I was with "Lost in Translation" after everyone made it out to be Citizen Kane 2.0, but this show lives up to all the hype.

Just wrapped up Fall of the House of Usher on Netflix. It was VERY good. The cast is basically the same used from the Haunting of Hill House series, but not tied into the story lines from those series. Highly recommend.

Agree. In my mind far better than his other 3 miniseries.

I'm two episodes in and loving the modern take on Poe's stories. We'll see where it ranks in the Flanagan-verse when I'm finished.

Speaking of ranks, here's how I'd rank Mike Flanagan's series so far.

1. The Haunting of Hill House - a masterpiece, IMO.
2. Midnight Mass
3. The Haunting of Bly Manor
4. The Midnight Club

Just started this. Wife and I love Flanagan's stuff. Perfect October watching for us. We aren't big horror/scary movie people but these are always well done imo and walk a nice line between horror, drama and thriller

I think I probably agree with this list. 2 and 3 are pretty close imo. Hill House is amazing. Midnight club was solid.

I loved Midnight Club for being so unique and having been open ended until he said he was leaving Netflix.

We're two episodes in. I'm really liking it, the wife is confused (she doesn't like flashbacks)

Midnight Mass was awesome. Tried to get my wife into The Haunting of Hill House and it just wasn't happening for whatever reason

Just a heads up... all eight episodes are flashbacks, but it completes the story well.

Loved The Fall of the House of Usher. Not to spoil anything but episode 5 was the best pure horror episode, and my favorite of the 8.

Kinda want to go read the original Poe stories again

Yeah, I HATE normal flashbacks but even though the entire show is a flashback, it holds together really well.

Tuned in Amazon's Gen V, a spinoff of their The Boys super people series. Wasn't necessarily expecting much but am four episodes in and it's trippy fun. Some really decent acting, more than a few interesting characters, a few quite likeable characters and, like The Boys, it's chuck full of scenes where you go "Damn!" and "WTF!" a lot. Likey.

Nine dead bodies. Blood: gallons. Flame Fu. Blood Fu. Strong Supe Fu. Refrigerator Fu. No naked breasts. One exploding penis. One naked giantess. Bone jumping. Sibling issues. Soulless ******* villains. Murdered parents. Boxster says check it out. **

Started Usher because of this thread, on episode 4 and it's great so far. And I'm not reading another post until I'm done. Hoping the ending can live up to some of the threads they're laying out.

Highly recommend Big Vape on Netflix.

Anyone that hasnt seen "Band of Brothers" and "The Pacific", they both were just added to Netflix.

Anyone that has not seen them both... really should. Possibly the best shows on War, and WW2, and honestly probably a couple of the best shows ever made.

Agree. Great shows. We've watched Band of Brothers multiple times. Can't wait for Masters of the Air to come out.

Started Season 2 of Winning Time (80's Los Angeles Lakers with Jerry Buss and Magic and some Larry Bird and the Celtics). I love everything about it, the casting is tremendous, especially the Magic character. The funny bylines and popups, etc...

I liked season 1. I didn't even know a season 2 came out until i heard of the cancelling. I wholly blame the terrible marketing they did for season 2.

First 4 episodes of Bosch have dropped! It was only supposed to be 2 per week, but there's 4.

Is it still on that Frevee thing? I refuse to watch that out of principle. If I’m paying for their service, I don’t want commercials.
