Just finished watching 3 seasons of FROM and keeping up with Severance season 2.
What's streaming that's good TV/movies
- Thread starter BoxsterCy
- Start date
I’m really enjoying Severance. First show in a long time where I can’t wait to see what’s next.
If you have Apple+, Shrinking is another good one. It’s somewhere between a dark comedy and a drama. The writing is good and Harrison Fords character is great.
If you liked that you might like The Recruit. I actually liked it more than Night Agent.
Absolutely brilliant and unique. Didn’t understand the premise until I started and now I have watched two times through.
Yeah I binged that last weekend. I like them about the same. This season was shorter than I thought it would be.
Im getting more and more annoyed with Netflix. The waiting 3 years or more for a new season of a show to come out, then the so called new season only being 6 or less, episodes, pisses me off.
Sorry, but first what takes years to get a new season in the can, then only producing 6 episodes in said season. What the hell am I paying for.
If its not at least 12 episodes, it should not be called a season. Hell somehow regular TV can pump out season after season of 20+ episodes, but pay tv can only do 6 episodes in 3+ years. Ridiculous.

Netflix has a new limited series that is dubbed from Germany. Cassandra.
It was pretty good, a few things questions of plot faults, but the storylines are Great and bring them together.
It looks like at first it's going terrible as it's about a evil smart house, but it's good storylines. I loved Dark and some other German dubbed I liked so I gave it a try, and I did all 6 episodes in tonight (just released today) so it must have been OK.

So the last part of the last season of "Cobra Kai" just dropped on Netflix a few days ago, and being a big fan of the franchise and the source material I naturally binged it in about 12 hours, maybe less.
I thought the end of Part 2 went off the rails and crashed into straight up absurdity (although when I think about it the absurdity has always been there, I mean, a massive brawl at the end of Season 2 in high school?), but I think that the final episodes got it steered back in the right direction and provided good endings and closures for all of the main characters. And on that note, despite all of the characters and the big cast and all of the callbacks I'm glad they ended it by focusing on the main character all along, Johnny Lawrence.

Just watched it, what did you notice?After you watch it, there's one little detail I'd like to check with you. There was either a plot hole, an editing error, or we missed something.
Reacher 3 released three episodes today. Based on one of my favorite series of novels.
Alan Ritchson is a bit better than last time, but the show is still hampered by some of the same problems as last season. The story isn't very tight and the characters, especially Reacher, routinely get away with explaining away situation after situation while ignoring obvious variables and it doesn't come across as very believable. I realize any film adaption of a book can only do so much with the time they have, but I'm getting let down again...

I hear you and feel some of that frustration. Take a show like Euphoria for instance. It started in 2019 and season 3 isn't due out until next year. Obviously, season 2 was delayed due to the pandemic, but it will end up being more than 4 years between seasons 2 and 3 which is kind of absurd. The actors/actresses will be in their 30's and they're supposed to be playing high school kids. It's not like it's a Stranger Things where there's an insane amount of CGI and editing to be done.
Agree. I think it’s a great show. Just rewatched season 2. I haven’t read the books either.
I sort of have the same frustration but there are lot factors that is different than say The Office pumping out 22 episodes each year.
Larger productions (more sets, filming locations, special effects) it isn’t being majority filmed on a sound stage in Burbank where you can film an episode in 1 day per week with rehearsals in between.
Using bigger stars and actors. A lot of these “tv actors” are also in movies that have they have to film around or possibly have an entire year where they can’t find time. Sitcom actors would typically ONLY work the show they were on and maybe mix in a project when not filming.
More writing plus using writers that are also working on other projects.
The classic “sitcoms” always premiered in the fall. So there WAS a deadline. Now streaming services can release whenever they want/can so there isn’t a rush to get things done.
Not really an excuse to go 3+ years between season but this is what I have heard from friends in business.
I downloaded the first season, but didn't love it the first episode. So I should keep going and see.....
Oh I get it, I have heard all those excuses too.
But that is more a choice by them then an actual excuse. If they went into the show saying they were going to make a show, and their plan was 20 episodes, to be out every year, with a deadline etc, they would. But they do not have those deadlines, goals, or requirements by the people in charge. So they choose not to.
I realize it is just the way it is, and in reality if they would at least make 10-12 episodes in a season, and at most be 1-1.5 years between the end of one season to the start of the next it would be ok. But coming out with 4-6 episodes after multiple years, and calling it a season is kind of ridiculous. But it is how it is now, so I guess we just need to accept it.
Streaming has been good for some things and I feel like it has hurt other things.
