Did you watch Discovery season 2? It's basically the prologue to Strange New Worlds. Such a great season.

If you like really clever sci-fi/time travel... There's a series on netflix called "Dark" that's english dubbed (it's only downfall... but it's done really well) that's really well written.

Oh, yeah. I have watched all of Discovery. Only one more season, I understand, but not coming until 2024. In fact, I like SNW so much that I went back and rewatched the Enterprise-centric episodes of Disc S2 recently. Yes, loved Dark. I’ve learned to always watch foreign movies and shows with the original language and English subtitles.

I watched part of Discovery that was free. Then they wanted to charge. If seems there are so many different streaming services or premium plus channels on cable out there that you got to have 15 different subscriptions to watch all the shows you want. I only like one show on this network and I have to buy all of them to watch it.

You don’t have to have them all at once. I cycle between them depending on what I want to watch.

Witcher season 3 was really good. Better than 2. Best season yet.

I just cycle through them throughout the year once shows hit…. What’s going to suck is when we have a content drought because of the writers strike.

Dang good show… I’m on episode 4 of season 3. So bummed Henry cavil quit… don’t think Liam hemsworth is a bad actor, but just don’t see him as Geralt.

So, I’m finally watching For All Mankind. I’m in the middle of S1 E6.

I knew something was going to happen on the Apollo 23 launch when they were sending off three astronauts they had never introduced before. Surprisingly, the astronauts survived but the real surprise is that they killed off Gene Kranz who is a real NASA person and who is still alive at 90 years old! He’s the guy made famous by “Failure is not an option.” He was played by Ed Harris in Apollo 13.

Killers of the Flower Moon was unnecessarily long and quite mediocre, IMO. It's an important story to tell but I left the theater bummed out and will never consider watching it again.

[ShelC]

I've read some good reviews but didn't feel like any of them were like "WOW GO SEE IT", which I thought might've been due to the story. I didn't know it was 3 1/2 hrs long, which seems excessive and will probably hurt it in the theaters and with some viewers. I don't mind long movies but not sure this story needed that kind of length since it's pretty straight forward. I think Scorsese feels a certain freedom working with companies like Netflix and Apple, where he's allowed to make the movie he wants instead of being restrained by execs telling him to edit or cut it down to a more manageable run time. Sometimes being reigned in can be helpful. The Irishman was 3 1/2 hrs long too and felt longer. None of his other movies were over 3 hrs.

[Superbone]

Hmm. That's disappointing. I'll wait until it is streaming on Apple TV to watch.

OK, finished the last episode of S3 of For All Mankind last night. Ready for the debut of S4 on Friday. Curious your thoughts on it, AIG. I didn’t see any comments from you after the gut punch at the end of S2. Also, since I was caught up on everything recent in the Star Trek universe, I dropped Paramount+ and started up Hulu again. Fun watching S3 of Only Murders in the Building and returning to the mid season 2 of Reservation Dogs with another season available after that. Also watched Quiz Lady last night and enjoyed it. Nice surprise cameo at the end.

Wife and I are very excited about Season 4 as well. We thought after the gut punch, the show would go downhill but it remained great through Season 3. The visuals continue to amaze. The entire Russian involvement, Margo and her part with the Russians, the surprise ending with Margo still being alive and in the USSR. Gordo's son is a disaster. How did you like S3?

I admit that I didn't enjoy it as much as seasons 1 & 2. Turned very soap operaish. Hated to see Karen go. Her character had a great arc. I don't like how they killed off Molly in a newspaper headline. She looked fine as she was leading survivors to the stairwell. The building seemed stable by then. Maybe smoke inhalation? I thought maybe the elder Stevens kid was finally turning the corner but they sent him off to solitary confinement at the end of the season. Just happens to be near the buried gun with the L wrench sticking out. What could possibly go wrong? Having said all that, I did still enjoy the show. Just not quite as much as the first two seasons. I don't think the newer characters are as compelling as the originals.

Hi all; I haven't dropped by this thread in a while. My wife and I were watching The Bear most recently and quite enjoyed that. Now we're kind of searching for a new show. We are kind of watching sitcoms to pass the time until then, like It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. We may check out For All Mankind, or maybe Foundation Season 2.

Foundation season 2 was fantastic! Have you checked out “what we do in the shadows”? “Letterkenny”?

AIG, have you watched S4, E1 yet of FAM? I watched last night.

► Show Spoiler

I got Home Alone vibes in this one. Interesting to see the OGs age and what they're going through. Danny Stevens remains a mystery. Sounds like maybe he's dead. I take it we'll find out what happened to him in flashbacks and I'm sure that buried gun is involved. A couple new characters introduced.

[AmareIsGod]

I haven't seen it yet but plan to watch with my wife as soon as I get back from Indianapolis on Friday.

[Kryptonic]

Joe Picket on paramount+ is pretty good. Just finished the first season and started the second. Guy who plays Gordo in FAM is the main character Joe Picket.

Before FAM, I knew him from a show called Patriot on amazon which I absolutely loved. It's a pitch-black spy comedy that's got a unique rhythm compared to anything else on TV. Strong recommendation on that one.
