Has anyone watched The Widow? It was released for streaming on Amazon Prime Video on 3/1.

UncleWede · 03-04-2019, 05:59 PM

I haven't figured out just where to watch CBS yet, anyone seen the new Star Trek? Want to know if it's worth the trouble of hac- I mean TRACKing it down.

I've been watching and it's pretty good. I get it on Space TV, but I doubt you'll get that station.....if you get a chance give it a shot.

Really? We are definitely complete opposites as I liked S3 much more than S2. I think it's due to the fact that I really couldn't get into any of the characters of S2, whereas in S3 both main characters were outstanding and I enjoyed the timelines. They did a good job of having 3 main timelines (although there were 5 altogether) and not making it confusing or hard to follow.

I haven't watched the final episode of season 3 year but thought season 2 was so bad I considered skipping season 3. Season 1 still the best but season 3 has been well worth watching.

It's real good! Easiest way to get on is through the app.

I agree, S1 was still the best of the 3.

I have it qued up. But Kate is looking weird with all this botox, lifts, or whatever TF she's done.

Captain Blood · 03-05-2019, 11:06 PM

I disagree with the order, but this list brings back some great memories!

Man in the High Castle Season 4 (and last one *sad*) coming out this fall, new teaser trailer dropped.

In more sad news, going to finish up Into the Badlands soon. Series has been canceled so I think only eight episodes or so left starting in late March.

It seems they might have known and so are sparing no expense to make the effects out of this world. DVR - programmed!

Finished season 3 of True Detective last weekend. Thought it was decent, but still not as good as season 1. While the plot was more convoluted than necessary, the acting was excellent and agree as well on Stephen Dorff.

For those of you interested in Earth Science.... One Strange Rock on Netflix is amazing. I’m super impressed with the cinematography and lengths they went to for the series. It is very informative and a great way to educate those on our planets history and future. Will Smith does a good job narrating. Definitely worth checking out! I’m currently on episode 8.

After Life with Ricky Gervais was pretty good, only 6 episodes.

Thats on my list.

I started watching Secret City last night. It's interesting but a bit slow moving, no bullets and bikini's in this one. But I'm going to stick with it.

adgriffi · 03-13-2019, 09:04 AM

1) Ozark -- Love this show. Can't wait for season 3 whenever it comes out.
2) Narcos -- Fantastic, though I haven't yet watched Mexico.
3) The Punisher -- very dark, certainly not everyone's cup of tea, sad they canceled it.
4) True Detective -- great first season, not so much second season. I should give season 3 a shot.
5) Doctor Who -- I've only seen the first episode since Jodie Whittaker took over, but plan to continue watching.

I'm behind on multiple other shows as well, and have plenty of others on my list I haven't even started yet.

I agree with your assessment of True Detective, and I just finished S3. Definitely worth it.

Clark_Kent · 03-13-2019, 10:08 AM

I had to cut Narcos loose after Season 2. Since my Spanish is spotty at best I got tired of reading subtitles for hours on end. I couldn't multi-task at all while watching. For that reason, I have zero interest in Narcos Mexico which, from what I can tell, is essentially the same thing as the first Narcos.

?????

You're missing out. I thought the 1st 3 seasons were great. But I know some spanish, so it was fun for me to try and follow along in spanish. I hadn't heard many of the cuss words in a long time.

UncleWede · 03-13-2019, 10:29 AM

New season of The Story of God with Morgan Freeman. Continues to lead me to beleive that all of us who are looking for God, are looking for the same one along our own paths.

Last night, he was with a Hindu family celebrating after 10 days (sorry, cna't remember the ceremony) and the final act was to go out and swing so that you lift you feet to heaven. EVERYONE loves to go swing, it put a smile on my face just to see them doing it. Then, as a typical boy-child, Morgan jumps off

As English is not my wife's first language, I've gotten used to pretty much watching all shows with subtitles on... and even though English *is* my first language, I find myself reading the subtitles anyhow...
