Orange is the new black came out today, I hate that I like that show

[Scroopy Noopers]

I gave the new Lost In Space a go...

I watched the old re-runs as a kid, and was excited for the movie in the 2000s (which was medium).
Half way through the first episode I was pulling my hair out because it’s so cheesy. Then I kind of realized they were embracing the cheese, and running with it. And I actually think they did a good job of it, kinda funny. I’m done 2 episodes and enjoying it. The star is the kid who plays “Will”, holy crap what a great kid actor.

By the end it was a pretty good series.

Black Mirror should have a warning in front of certain episodes to tell newish parents to stay the #### away

Spoiler!

I thought White Christmas was as bad as it was gonna get as far as the whole killing babies thing, but then I watched Crocodile. This is becoming a disturbing ####ing trend with this show, and now I need to take another long break from it. Can anyone just go ahead and spoil me ahead of time if any other recent episodes feature baby murder? I'd like to skip those ones from here on out

Anyone watch Extinction? This movie stinks. I like Michael Pena but wow, this was bad from beginning to end.

I have not watched it, I thought about it, but now I think I'll take a hard pass.

I'm a huge sports documentary fan, especially football, so I was pleasantly surprised to see a new one tonight called QB1.

QB1 follows the senior year of three at least 4 star rated high school QB's. Jake Fromm, Tate Martell and Tayvon Bowers. All three have committed to Div 1 schools.

Its interesting to watch because when you see these QB's the first thing you think is that they're men. They already look college age, they're all tattoo'd up, and they're physically mature. You also see the problem with high school sports for the elite quarterbacks, for example Tayvon and Jake both moved from their original high schools to join elite programs. With Jake he forced his whole family to uproot from California to Nevada so he could join one of the best high school programs in the country.

Just watching some things as a former football coach, I was shocked at a lot of things.

One of the teams is a travelling team so when they went to play a game in Texas, they pulled the whole team out of school for three days to travel, stay in a 5 star hotel and do rounds with the media.

My jaw also dropped at the training facilities, especially in the one school where they had a 15000 seat stadium a pro style weight room and multiple conference rooms for team break downs.

The other thing that really took me by surprise is that they're all playing a college style of high school and these offenses are extremely complex. That's why I felt sorry for the one quarterback who just couldn't seem to get the offense nailed down and his protection calls on the line.

This documentary is done by Peter Berg's company, there's no commentators or narrators this is just the camera following these kids around.

The other thing that really stands out

While Tayvon moved to this school from his old school, the program graduated a lot of its veteran players and its a team that's really going to struggle.

Tate Marshall is extremely competitive, but with that comes a lot of arrogance and a huge me first attitude that rubs people the wrong way, during one game he had his friends tweeting out for him during the game.

Out of all of them, Jake is the most professional, and carries himself like a Pro, he's not as good of an athlete as the other two, but you quickly gain a lot of respect around how he carries himself.

If you like sports reality, I think this is a very good watch.


Add on



Jake went on to play for the Georgia Bulldogs this year, he was originally the backup but replaced the starter and lead the Bulldogs to a double time win over Oklahoma in the Rose Bowl.


Tayvon went to Wake Forest and was red shirted, he suffered an ACL injury. He was also named an academic all american


Tate is the fourth string QB at Ohio, he's basically running the Scout team and is thinking about transferring to another school so that he can compete for the starting job.

CC, I also just watched QB1, I quite enjoyed it. I find the US football culture fascinating.

A show that’s been on Netflix forever and I only started watching is Hinterland. I really enjoy these type of murder mysteries, and Wales is beautiful! I would love to travel there.

Thanks for the suggestion. Just finished it over the weekend, and will probably watch it again. Can't wait for season 2.

OMG that was awful. I'm not sure why I watched the whole 1.5 hrs. Just absolute garbage.

[Wormius]

My wife watched it and said the acting was terrible but then there was some kind of twist in the film and then she wasn’t sure whether the acting was supposed to be bad or it it was sincerely bad acting on everybody’s part.

[GoinAllTheWay]

Lol, yes, the "twist". That was awful too. Bad plot, bad acting, bad twist. Just avoid.

Is there anyway To clear series off of your watch list?

They made that process so tedious.

[getbak]

Is there any way to clear a series off your "Continue Watching" list if you've actually watched every episode, but would still like it to show up when new episodes are actually released?

I just watched an actual episode of television where the b plot revolved around a cat kidnapping/ownership lawsuit between two respected lawyers at a serious law firm but it was only a mock trial and yet somehow it was also binding to both parties. If I had not watched the episode myself, I would not believe it existed. I also thought it wasn't bad. Lewis is highly entertaining.

It feels like the writers for Suits have a grade 6 level education. Why does every single scene have to end as an ultimatum? It gets infuriating. The story has lost everything it once had and I hate almost all the characters except Donna because she is an absolute smokeshow.

I agree with the wrap up of Mike and Rachel. But I am enjoying the newest season. Feels refreshed and liking all the new characters.

“Disenchanted” coming up tomorrow. This should hopefully be good. Wonder if he Groening be edgier on Netflix.
