  • Mindhunter was always going to be a limited story. No way Fincher gets locked into a TV series. Think we were lucky to get a second season.

    • The new Justified is different, Raylan is the same but everything else is different. I'm not sure I care about this villian and the humor is pretty much only coming from Raylan.

      • I will be at a snail’s pace when it comes to movies/ TV series with football season here…

        Recently finished season 1 of “Peaky Blinders” (Netflix) and absolutely love this series so far. Engaging narrative and drama. English mob story in the 1920s. Now I’m suddenly all into the mob genre while wrapping up The Sopranos.
        Recall Jaadam mentioning that Jeremy Strong is one of the best actors working today. I actually think that’s Cillian Murphy… especially after Oppenheimer.

        • Nope nope nope. I’m the opposite of Jeremy Strong being a great actor.

          I do think Cillian Murphy is fantastic although Blinders fizzled as it progressed IMO

          F#*K OHIO!!!

          • Speaking of great actors, I submit Meryl Streep in Only Murders in the Building.

            Holy shit! She is an amazing actor.

              • Just make sure you skip the last season of Sherlock, Cody. It’s poppycock.

                  They keep trying to make Boyd Holbrook happen. Don’t think it’s going to happen.

                  It doesn’t help that Olyphant’a daughter is . . . . not great (trying to be kind because I love Olyphant).

                  • If you were to rank all 7 seasons, this one would come in 7th. It's still cool to see Raylan but it was a rather joyless affair. No real good characters for Raylan to play off of. They did not do a great job of showing Detroit, too many name drops not enough noticeable backdrops that were actually Detroit.

                      • I broke down and bought a Peacock subscription last weekend so my Sparty husband could watch his really bad team. The bonus is getting to watch some shows I've been hearing about.

                        We streamed the eight episodes of "Based on a True Story" pretty quickly! A little gory, but it's definitely an interesting premise. Nearly every episode ended with a cliffhanger that made you want to watch the next one. Probably going to try Poker Face next.

                          • Just finished Season two of “Killing It” on Peacock. It’s a good, but not great, comedy. The two leads are worth watching

                            • Amazon’s Prime Video to incorporate commercials next year. Ad-free tier will cost $3 more



                              BY BRIAN CONTRERAS | STAFF WRITER
                              SEPT. 22, 2023 7:06 AM PT



                              Amazon will be adding advertisements to shows and movies streamed on its Prime Video platform early next year, the tech and e-commerce giant said Friday morning.


                              Amazon said Prime Video will have “meaningfully fewer ads than” traditional TV channels and other streaming services. U.S. subscribers will be able to opt out of commercials for an additional charge of $2.99 a month, with pricing for other countries to come later.


                              The ads will launch in early 2024 in the U.S., the United Kingdom, Germany and Canada; as well as, later that year, Mexico, Australia and certain other European countries.

                              The change reflects a larger shift in the entertainment industry, which has grown gradually disenchanted with the model of online content popularized by Netflix: unlimited ad-free streaming for a fixed monthly rate.



                              In August, the Walt Disney Co.’s quarterly earnings report came alongside the announcement that the media conglomerate would be raising the price of ad-free Disney+ — the company’s premiere streaming platform — from $10.99 a month to $13.99 a month, although its ad-supported tier would stay at $7.99 a month.


                              Those changes came as the House of Mouse faced declining income from its linear networks and continued losses on streaming.

                              Netflix also raised the prices of U.S. streaming subscriptions in early 2022.


                              Earlier this year, HBO Max — now just Max — bumped the monthly cost of new subscriptions up by a dollar. Other platforms have made similar moves, as their parent companies try to narrow their losses on direct-to-consumer businesses.
