I'm a couple of weeks into a month-ish sub for Disney+ (just the Disney $7 part). I wasn't exactly crazy about the first couple of episodes of Mandalorian but by the end of the 2-8 episode seasons, I was sold! Very true to the Star Wars world and lots of great guest actors and fx. The episodes are uneven so there are a few that I wasn't that crazy about but there were 4 directors so I wasn't that surprised. There were a few that really made me sit back and grin. If you're a Star Wars diehard like me, The Clone Wars cgi series is great for back stories. They can be very uneven too but as the series goes along (there are 123, 30 minute episodes) the animation gets to a very high standard for a commercial show (if you can excuse the "will cgi ever make hair not look like a helmet" problem). Anywho, I've always appreciated your music recommendations so I thought I'd give you my 2 cents on Disney+. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 Thank you for that, especially that last comment. 🤩 I haven’t been watching much lately, but do still intend to try-before-I-buy Disney+, but honestly, I’m going through a not-watching-much phase, so will hold out until this phase ends. 🙏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knuckledragger Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 I ended up watching both parts of The Comey Rule last night. It was really quite good. Jeff Daniels is an amazing actor, but he's about a foot too short to accurate represent James Comey. Brendan Gleeson is lowkey terrifying as Trump.

ironbut Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 Ice Cold Murders (sorry, couldn't find a clip). Great Italian detective series that's free with Prime till Feb 1. There are 2 -12 episode series and I haven't watched anything else since I stumbled across this (almost done with season 1). I'm a big fan of "who done its" so take that into account. I believe there are more seasons and I guess they are waiting for them to appear on Starz (Amazon says Masterpiece). Anywho, I love-love-love this one so give it a try while it's free. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HiWire Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 (edited) The Leftovers More than a little contrived, melodramatic, nihilistic, preachy, and silly(!) – just my cup of tea. Some odd parallels with the pandemic situation, so somewhat prescient. Edited February 7 by HiWire 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpelg Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 Star Trek: Discovery (standard CBS) - excellent homage to the classic franchise, with a fresh take (it's a prequel). Not sure if it's enough to make me subscribe to CBS All-Access for the rest though (maybe binge S2 & 3 using a free trial?) Miss Scarlet and the Duke on Masterpiece (PBS) - we are both liking this show. Easy watch. Recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Sawyers Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 We've been re-watching The West Wing. I'd forgotten how really, really good that series was. Tightly scripted, excellent cast of superb actors, and fine storyline. Currently half way though series 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knuckledragger Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 I stayed up waaay to late last night and watched season 1 of Shetland. (It's only two episodes.) Shetland is a fascinating part of the world for me. It's halfway between Scotland and the Nordic countries geographically and culturally. The accents are as thick as a pony's mane, so all praise to subtitles. The end of season 1 kind of fell apart (as many made for TV tales have a tendency to do) but I quite liked everything leading up to it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
