Lots of sci-fi is filmed up nort eh.

Don't think it's a vikings related one. It's (if it's the one you're thinking) about Robert the Bruce.

Maybe The Last Kingdom? If so, it is based on a series of books by Bernard Cornwell- http://www.bernardcornwell.net/the-last-kingdom-series-formerly-the-warrior-chroniclessaxon-stories/

Cornwell is best known for his Richard Sharpe stories based on the British Army in India and during the Napoleonic wars in Portugal, Spain, and Belgium. He is an excellent historical fiction writer IMO and if you can get past the formulaic mode of his writing, and have a love for history, the books are well worth the read.

I haven't seen all of the film adaptation of his books. Most of them do a poor job of finding actors who actually look/sound anything like the characters in the books.

ChickNorris

Just finished 'Altered Carbon'. Story line is well done, some thought provoking ideas. Overall, a good series.

Currently on Season-3 of 'Luther', Idris Elba as a British detective. Outstanding series with a defective detective and an overarching good vs. evil, with a splash of Holmes vs. Moriarty twist. The episodes are not entirely stand-alone, you really need to start from the beginning.

Friend showed my One Punch Man. It's great if you have anime experience. There is another Netflix original called Ajin that is fantastic. I've recommend it before, but it was before you were around. Two seasons of Ajin. Ajin is more modern guns than martial arts.

Season 4 is suppose to be a 2 hr show, like the Sherlock Holmes on PBS were. I'm hoping they do a 4-5 hour in 1 hr episodes.
Luther is another one of those sleeper shows only the brits can do well.
Idris Elba was good as Stringer Bell in The Wire, he hasn't disappointed in this or a few others things we've seen him in.

Friend showed my One Punch Man. It's great if you have anime experience.

I don't think its a requirement, though it would certainly give context to the parodies of all the characters. If someone doesn't know, I don't think it takes away from the brilliant interest & disinterest of hero from Saitama. Plus the mostly subtle adult humor is refreshing. I like all the random images in the opening credits that have absolutely nothing to do with the tv series too. Just good fun.

D for Dark. How about absolutely insane laced with lots of F bombs. I was surprised it actually played on SyFy w/ no censor bleeps. If you just started watching it gets darker, like real dark. And wayyy out there. I had a hard time watching some of it .

Just saw Aquaman in theaters as a treat for the wife. I have two observations.

1) The movie was basically a very long Five Gum commercial.

2) It's a real shame Jason Mamoa can't be cast in better movies. Even in movies (like this one) with better actors (William DeFoe and Nicole Kidman) everyone acts worse than him. It's very weird. He might not have the most range, but it feels like he's a better actor than he gets a chance at. Kind of like The Rock, Dwane Johnson.

The new Netflix series 'The Haunting of Hill House' has been really good thus far. The acting is actually very well done, the story has been very enjoyable, the makeup, costuming has been stellar. If you enjoy horror movies and the like, would probably really like this one.

A little over half way through and loving it. Best scary movie/show I've seen in a while. It feels like a few of the scenes were pulled straight out of my head. One scene was so close to an idea I had for a creepy scene that I got excited and forgot to be scared. Excellent.

Also, got roped into watching this show on Amazon called "The Marcelous Mrs. Maisel". My wife has friends over and they decided to watch it so by default I had to endure it. First I thought it might make me want to gouge my eyes out but once we started watching it I found it was mildly entertaining.

The Komisky Method. Michael Douglas, Alan Arkin and [Love1] Nancy Travis (from Last Man Standing).


This one's geared towards the 50 & over crowd. or as well call it "Mature Audiences"

We watched it, because, why not? The preview seemed interesting, but not enough to say, Yeah let's watch it.
If you're over 50 you'll definitely get the humor / jokes. If not you'll either dislike it, or watch to see where it goes.

AND if you like LMS, picture Nancy Travis uncensored..


IIRC a quick 5-6 episode series, yes they renewed for S2.

Drive to Survive on Netflix.

If you like F1 or just find it mildly entertaining & want more backstory about each driver, car or organization... Also doubles as an in depth season recap with bonus material. Hamilton doesn't always win ya know.


Unfortunately Ferrari & Mercedes don't participate as much as the others. Still worth watching.

Just finished 'The Umbrella Academy'. I was pleasantly surprised. It's entertaining, quirky, and a good story line.

It's nice to see Ellen Page, she's an incredible actress.

I felt like The Umbrella Academy could have been better, but it was certainly good enough. I'm having trouble figuring out what #4's power is supposed to be though. Watched it with my kid and we're waiting for season two. I describe as Lemony Snicket's Series of Unfortunate Events but with super powers, some swearing, and less fancy words.

I'm most of the way through The Order now. It's a terrible show. Basically Charmed 2019, but with the F-word. Just as bad acting, just as bad plot holes, and surprisingly just as bad special effects. I'm pot committed though.

I was kind of drunk when I started watching it and my wife came in and in two seconds of watching said, "So is this Charmed 2019?" My kid watched all eight seasons of Charmed and everyone in the house knows it's my new measure of what a bad show is. Just like Avatar for movies.

Charmed on the low end, and True Detective on the high end. Or Avatar on the low end and District 9 on the high end.

You learn a whole lot from that show.

ETA: They made a rule early on that if it doesn't happen on camera, it didn't happen. So there is an episode where Steve is hunting elk in Alaska with Remi Warren. It's a ho-hum episode. During the filming of that, the crew was attacked by a grizzly bear, but there isn't a peep about it in the episode. There is a two part podcast all about it though.

We watched Sugarloaf Mountain last night.

You can tell from the description that it's one of those movies where the plot is driven by increasingly poor decisions, whatever that genre is called. That's not a spoiler. They do a good job with that and there is some dark stuff in it. Overall it was pretty good.

The books were a good read, really goes in to a lot of Miller's background and even more interaction with the daughter / proto stuff



The Updated version of BSG was (imo) very good, with E.J Olmos as Adama.

I'm hoping someone here says the same for continuing to watch The Umbrella Academy . It seems (so far) like an adolescent, yet weak, copy of The Watchmen

it was an HBO western series about ten years ago that was set in the town of Deadwood, SD. The series was known for fantastic acting (it basically made Timothy Olyphant and Ian McShane A-listers), great writing, copious levels of swearing, and really well executed set design and costuming.

It was also well known for having the series end on a cliffhanger right before what was going to be a serious confrontation.

Deadwood also mixes in a few historical facts about the Dakota territories and the town itself. If you're offended by cursing and the work fuck, like used a lot, Deadwood is a series to avoid.

Ian McShane was good in an old british series on pbs called Lovejoy.

Finished season 3 of Stranger Things. They are consistent and it was good; but they could have stopped at season 1.


Season 2 of Dark is out.

It's goofy and campy. I enjoyed it, but then again, I loved the original animated series, too.

The Tick is ok, not my favorite show. I haven’t seen the latest season yet. The Boys is like the anti-marvel, which I like. It’s violent and more realistic, imo.

?The Boys?, an amazon original and comic book adaption, is one of the best shows I?ve seen in quite a while. Binge watched all 8 episodes of the first season over the course of a few nights.

Good to know, it's in rotation. After S3 of Sneaky Pete.

Stupid Amazon and their 8-episode seasons.

After finishing The Boys, I have this urge to watch Adventures in Babysitting again.

I like SciFi and Netflix teased me with "Another Life" starring Katee Sackhoff. OMG. Don't waste a second on this series. Must have been written by millennials.

Netflix needs to make sure their content is better quality, not in more quantity. I like Katee, but she can't hold this turd together.

Who wrote this garbage?

Honestly, I was excited for this show from the description.

But my god... it makes no sense. The "astronauts" sent on a mission to make first contact with an alien species and possibly save earth are whiny teenagers that wouldn't be out of place in a highschool comedy. There are no uniforms, party clothes will do, and there's a guy in the ship wearing high heels and leather pants?

The quality from Netflix has been declining for a while now. There’s only four original shows I can think of that I like. I signed up for Hulu to see if it’s any better, but it’s not. Amazon Prime is in a league of its own at the moment. I can’t wait for the new season of Jack Ryan.

I think Hulu is a complete waste. Thankfully I share it with my son but he said he won't renew it for the same reason.

I gave Letterkenny a shot and won’t be doing that again. Beyond that, the only other show that I’d watch is Archer, but they don’t have the current season. Most of the shit on Hulu is from ABC of Fox, which you can watch for free with an antenna.

+1 for Jack Ryan. Having read the early Tom Clancy novels, I was hesitant to see a Jack Ryan brought to the current world. I thought it was well done.

Tried watching 'Another Life'...... holy pile of steaming [pileoshit]

It's hard to understand how anything that bad was produced. It's beyond description how bad it really is.

Finally started watching Game of Thrones...... whenever I think I've had a bad day, I watch an episode of GOT to feel better.

I'm glad you guys tried watching Another Life. I wasn't sure what to think of the preview, and I don't really like that actress so it's not like I was super excited. Now I can move on.

Debating on whether or not to start watching Stranger Things. I usually prefer for a series to be completely wrapped up before I start watching it but I'm getting a little tired of having to sit through episodes of McLeod's Daughters with my wife.

I think you can start. Season three seemed to wrap things up (hopefully). Stranger Things is good, but it's not good enough to carry any more seasons.

I liked it. It felt good to watch. But once I start thinking about, well pretty much anything, I start picking it apart like a nervous person peels the labels off a beer bottle in an intense social situation. Kind of ruins the fun of things after the fact.

You mean season 2? It's on our list to watch. The preview looked good and I was surprised to see a second season. Your description pretty much describes the first season as well. Still enjoyed it.

I've probably already mentioned it, but I really enjoyed Losers. All but maybe two episodes I found well done and at least entertaining, but not all episodes were a slam dunk.

I like our planet. David Attenborough is really laying on the guilt for man kind ruining things pretty thick, but it doesn't really bother me because it's mostly true.

That’s a shame because sci-fi has been one of Netflix’s stronger genres. Travelers, Lost in Space, and Altered Carbon are great. I guess I’ll have to wait until December for season 4 of The Expanse to get some good sci-fi.

I'm looking forward to an S2 of AC.

Or S4 of "The Expanse".

Or S4 of "Rick & Morty".



I expect to be disappointed by at least 2 of those 3.



I just finished the newest and final season of "Orange Is The New Black" on netflix - meh. Also watched S2 of "Deep State" on Epix (free preview this past weekend), and it was meh.

Starz has some good series like "Outlander" but nothing new going on right now.

I've been looking forward to AC S2. I hope it's as good as the first. Once I got into the premise of the alien tech, I was hooked. The philosophical/social/moral/religious questions it created I found interesting.

I was also checking in on the Epix content over the free weekend. It sure didn't seem like Epix was worth paying for.

Its been a month since I cancelled Directv. I had everything too, all premiums, all sports packages, et. al & I don't miss it, not even a little.


Altered Carbon was the best.

Wife gets discounted Dish since that's where she works. I find that I'm using my Fire TV 4K sticks more often than I expected. A chunk of that though is that some of the content is made available through the Dish subscription. If you're leasing equipment for some of your TV locations, buying a Fire TV stick to get the content may be a better option.

I have basic internet (no phone, box etc) using the fire stick and download free apps to watch shows. My Roku was the same deal with apps, but it stopped working.

Most of the free apps for standard tv are garbage, unless you upgrade to their "Silver or Gold" premium packages.
I could care less for a single sports channel, let alone OVER A DOZEN To CHOOSE FROM!

We cancelled Netflix and enrolled in Sling. Traded passwords with a friend (our sling for his netflix). Have hulu with our cell plan, and prime video with our prime subscription. I have a login for HBO, STARZ, Cinemax, etc, but really dont use them often. Of everything, we watch Live PD or Live rescue most consistently.
