Let me know if you figure this out. The wife and I would like to get Longmire for her parents. They don't have Internet much less Netflix.Quote:

Started watching Absentia last night. 1st episode peaked my interest.
Corrected mistitle.
Altered Carbon on Netflix was interesting. Saw episode one. Probably a good binge if you have the time.
I wasn't looking for Longmire.Quote:

To rent. Google says it’s hit or miss as to what they have and that there are considerable delays before they’re made available. That said, I think that’s the only legal option available.Quote:

You could sign up with his address that way the discs go straight to him, and when he's done he just drops them back in the mail and receives the next one a few days later. Again, this is assuming they're available.Quote:

I'm not one to watch TV, but I did finish the whole series this weekend
Altered Carbon was awesome. Netflix should do more stuff like this and less Marvel crap.
Hasn't Altered Carbon only been out a week? I'm on my down time and can't even watch a show that fast.
Less time on honey do, more time on you know who ;)Quote:

I heard it's getting terrible reviews. What's your take on why you liked it and reviewers apparently don't?Quote:

We just started Black Sails and seems good so far.
Reviewers never seem to like the Cloverfield movies. Or JJ Abrams movies in general. This one was a bit more formulaic than the other two, but still really delivered, in my opinion. Some of the scenes that help the movie overall don't help the tension or mood they are trying to set in the primary story, which hurts it a bit.Quote:

There are 3 or 4 scenes that feature Cloverfield elements, and the rest of the film survives completely independent of them.
Sorry I thought it was garbage. Luckily it was on Netflix so I didn't have to pay to see it in a theatre.
+1 Altered Carbon
Yep, and I'm not even finished yet.Quote:

Godless +1
I struggle with Jon Bernthal. His characters just strike me as unlikable, and I can't decide if it is the character or just him. He always plays the same basic character in each film. I liked him somewhat better in Wind River (v. good movie!).Quote:

Because they didn't develop the characters of the hit group, it isn't clear if they are blackwater type contractors or actual servicemen following the orders of a crooked boss. I saw no obvious reason they weren't the same exact situation as the Bernthal character, misused and misled by a higher up with bad intentions. Just haven't gone back to the show to see where it goes from there. Maybe someone can help me around this sticky concept on this one.
The wife suggested watching Solomon Kane. It was OK. Maybe The Following has poisoned me on James Purefoy. He was great in that one, and that same character works for him in Altered Carbon, but he just didn't fit the Solomon character well. Worth a watch.
You over thought The Punisher. He was going against "shadowy" orgs who were responsible for his family's death. Which as usual were off book ops. Remember he was good at killing, killing his family was not the best plan.Quote:

SEAL Team is well worth the watch. My only complaint is they seem to have a new mission every single episode...wish they'd let a mission play out over several episodes to increase drama and suspense for the viewer.

I agree. Seal Team is pretty good. Also check out The Brave. I really like that one as well.Quote:
