The Peripheral just dropped and it is fantastic!

Based on the novel by William Gibson, it's a future where technology has altered the society, an ambitious woman named Flynne finds herself doomed at the hands of fate. While trying to hold together the pieces of her broken family, she discovers a secret connection to an alternate reality and her own dark future.

Very interesting so far and also in UHD so it’s visually nice as well.

Looking forward to how it progresses.

Pantheon is supposed to be pretty good as well, though I haven't started it yet. Suddenly there's too much TV to watch.

Ya I know I have to see it again. I’m not the brightest dimensional person. So many re-watching is in order. FFS I’m still struggling with Inception and Tenet .

A real pity that Yellowstone Season 5 now requires extra payment on top of Prime when the previous 4 seasons had no such requirement. Gotta don my hat and eyepatch to watch this now.

That was a Prime dick move.

I think that's more on Paramount than Amazon. Paramount had a show and no service so they sold the rights. But now that they have their own, why would they want to give amazon the subs?


Also, don't watch Meet Cute. Jesus christ, it's terrible. I watched it because I like Pete Davidson and his Staten Island movie was good. This one, not so much (although he didn't write this one). Kaley Cuoco is terrible too. She's a bad actress.

She was also bad in HBO series The Flight Attendant, which was also no good.

She's a pretty solid Harley Quinn though. I mean, vocally.

Not going to cost me more. I thought season 4 was pretty bad and definitely not worth an added description to watch another season. In particular, I find the Beth character cartoonishly over the top and off putting.

Wikipedia says the first five seasons were produced for Showtime before it moved to Sci-Fi. It looks like they started selling it into syndication to air on broadcast tv six months after the episodes aired on Showtime, so that probably limited the amount of nudity they put in since they'd need to edit it out for the syndicated version.

Hey, me too!

It's a big part of why this caught me so off guard. I just wanted to get my sci-fi binge on and suddenly there's a naked lady on my screen with a bush that screamed "Wait, how is the rest of her so well groomed, this makes me question so many things. Did Daniel Jackson force his ideal mate grooming practices on this poor woman?"

Bush had good lungs.

Breaking Bad was kind of a similar thing in that they produced the pilot hoping to sell it to HBO and had naked boobs in the first episode that is on Netflix that were cut on the original AMC airings.

The SG-1 DVDs have the nude cut. The show originally aired on Showtime which is/was? like HBO.

As I recall, the pilot had the nudity, but the show went in a lighter, family-friendly direction before it was eventually sold (moved, whatever) to the Sci-Fi channel.
