Very good show. Same vein as Bosch, keeps you thinking and paying attention. Which starts S3 soon.

Finished up S1 of Leigon on FX. Did not disappoint

John Wick Chapter 2 isn't avaliable on Roku, or HBO. Season 7 of Acher and drinking will have to do.

I've been watching john wick 2 on kodi for 2 weeks. Exodus has it. Not the best quality, but not bad either for getting to watch it at home. However, exodus changed names this week, so may want to update it.

Netflix - Gomorrah

Great subtitle series based in Italy about a mob family.
Got hooked and did a nonstop marathon watch.

The Real Ghostbusters is a cartoon. Works out well for me, because my 2 and 4 year old like it, and I get to reconnect with my childhood, a nice break from "Trolls", "Dinosaur train" etc.

Anime, based on a manga. Manga is a Japanese comic book. So....just like The Walking Dead!

ETA: There is some pretty cool gun stuff in this (and many) anime, but also some dumb stuff.

I hope you're talking about the show I watched growing up. I'll have to check it out.

We are the same age, so it's probably the same show.

Yep. In Merica we call Anime cartoons.

I like cartoons. I know some people can't do cartoons, regardless of how adult they may be (my cousin for example). I never understood that, but to each their own.

On Netflix.
Halt and catch Fire: Great 3 season AMC original series about the invention of the PC and its exploding growth in the 80-90's. Great cast and acting. Season four is in production.
Santa Clarita Diet: Well, it was entertaining for sure.

Same here. Have you caught the new season of Samurai Jack? They upped the rating to TV14 and its gotten darker, but its real good.

Haven't seen Samuri Jack in a long time. Wasn't it on the air like 12 years ago?

Louis CK has a new 2017 special on Netflix, and it is not a let down.

Season 4 was 2004, But they have started up season 5 which takes place 50 years after the events of S4.

Went on a "Better call Saul" binge over the last couple days, and am finally caught up, great series so far. I know many won't watch it due to Bob Odenkirk's political stance, but I tend to ignore their politics as long as I'm entertained.

Mike is by far my favorite character, and Kim Wexler isn't bad to look at either.

There is a new season of Last Kingdom on Netflix. Not the best show I ever saw, but I got hooked on season 1.

Binge watched Season 2 this weekend. Last Kingdom = Game of Thrones without the porn.

Better Call Saul is still good watching, I am nearly all the way through Breaking Bad for the second time, wanted to refresh my memory and note any correlations between the two. * ****** *** **** ****** *** ****** ****** ***** ******* *** ***, ******* ******, *** **** ***** **** *-****, ***** * ********** *** ******* * ****** *** (*** **** **** ***), *** ****** ***** **** * ******** *-***. Excited to see how the rest of BCS unfolds. Mike is still my favorite character, such a professional.

Sure I'll try, but only because I just noticed Great Kazoo asked.

On my trip to Scotland, the plane had HBO's Westworld. I heartily enjoyed it (stupid plane landed when I had ~20 minutes to go, and it was just getting even more mindblowing!). Basic premise, there's this, essentially, amusement park that's set in the Old West. It's filled with animatronics that look and act very human, but they can't do real harm to the guests (like if they shoot the guest, it might sting them but won't kill them). Meanwhile, the guests have just about carte blanche to do whatever they please to the hosts (the robots). Sleep with them, kill them, etc, it's up to them (though the main command center can mess with the guests if they're being too disruptive, like make their guns jam and have a couple robots tackle them and put them in jail overnight, that sort of thing).

It's about lots of the morality, choices, self-awareness of the robots, etc. Like, do they have actual free will, or are they still just responding to their scripts and prompts, and it's all faked? Do they have memories hidden away despite their overnight reboots? What is it that the humans get out of it all, are they getting a story or are they learning who they really are?

It's a fantastic show. Lots of nudity (it's HBO after all), some gore, so not exactly young family appropriate, but it's fascinating. It has Anthony Hopkins as the main mind behind the robots, and he does a great job, as do the rest of the cast.

I think they picked it up for a new season, but that won't be until I think 2018 is what I heard. But the first season is great, and like I said, starts really blowing your mind the last few episodes.

Picked up a new show with the wife in mind. Actually looks like it's going to be pretty decent. It's currently on right now so not sure when or where it will be available to binge watch.

It's called "Mary Kills People" and it's actually on the lifetime channel. Give it an episode or two or three and it starts getting pretty interesting.

Westworld was written by Michael Crichton, which is probably why it was so great.

You should have refused to de-board until the show was over....

To me, it seems that the British produced movies have outstanding photography and a lot of attention is paid to detail. On occasion, the subtitles are necessary for my really understanding what they are saying. [blaster]

Sadly they turned off the entertainment when we got to the gate :P I would have probably had enough time by the time everyone got of the plane, but noooo.

That's from 11/16. Last i read (comcast) said no renewal, also listed in their cancelled shows for 2017. If it does get a second season be curious how it plays out.
