What's streaming that's good TV/movies

We finished Lisey's Story on Apple TV. Based on a Stephen King novel with a really good cast, but it just seems like one of those books that didn't translate well to a movie (I haven't read the book). Just seemed weird, confusing and kind of dumb.
Man, Lisey's Story novel is so ******* great. But even when it was announced way back with that great cast I thought 'it's not gonna translate to a movie well at all'. I tried watching it but had to stop.

I'll check it out, I kept telling my wife that a lot of this seems like it's not translating well from the book. Certain things are just better created in your mind while reading.

That's one I started and stopped because of those reasons. The book was really good.

I’m watching the CNN documentary on Chernobyl. 4 hour-long episodes. Watched episode two last night. Having spent two years in Southern Russia in the ‘90s and encountering a couple refugees I’ve always been fascinated by the episode.

I had a permit to go on a tour of the exclusion zone in 2020, but then the whole pandemic happened and now of course visiting isn’t viable.

Season finale for Margo's Got Money Troubles was really good. As for my theory above:

Nailed it, knew it was Kenny. If you look at his expressions in the background when they were at the hospital last episode you could see it. Thought there was going to be more fallout from it though. Maybe that's for season 2.
There HAS to be more fallout. It seems like he meant well, but maybe he's just not as nice as he appears to be.
 
SIAP or if it's been discussed in a separate thread, but does anyone have any thoughts/opinions on Season 5 of "The Boys"?

Personally I am not enjoying it particularly. Seems like it's really stalled out and the whole middle half of the season was spent doing not much more than looking for the elusive original Compound V. I really hope the series finale hits it out of the park, because otherwise this last season is just as mediocre as the last season of "Game of Thrones" was.

I just watched the finale last night. They've left the door open for continuing the Vought story line, but thought the finale was pretty good.

I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt...for now. I am fully expecting him to be found to already be a huge OnlyFans member or something
 
Both Margo and Widow's Bay this week were again fantastic. I just cannot tell enough people about how good Margo is. It's my favorite show since The Pitt without question. Hopefully we don't want a long time for season two

I’ll have to check it out, I think Elle Fanning is great.
 

Were you not aware that the NHL playoffs were going on right now? And, as the games do not start until 7:00, that’s gives me time to get an episode in before they start. It’s like how I will go back and rewatching The League at the start of the NFL season. Sometimes sports seasons just bring out an urge to watch certain shows.
 
Just discovered that there is an Office sequel on Peacock called The Paper which is pretty funny.

Watched Widows Bay based on this thread and love it. Was so disappointed when I realized I was caught up to current and had to wait for a new episode. If you like that show and haven't seen Werewolves Within I'd definitely recommend it.

Margo Has Money Troubles is next for me.
you can binge the entire season of Margo. This week was the season finale. Report back! Both shows are just so ******* good

It’s a Shoresy joke how he always interrupts people with “Huh?”
