Bump when you find something good to stream from Netflix or Amazon or whatever

Dave Chappelle is one of comedy’s greats. Green’s lasting contribution was displaying his nutsack getting operated on during his show to promote ball cancer awareness. It was a laudable move, but the real life drama was better than anything he did comedically.

No one is putting Tom Greene in the same realm of Dave Chappelle. Chapelle is gold. Just watched the Letterman talk show with Chappelle. Letterman more or less said the same thing, Dave Chappelle is the standard and the best comedian he has ever seen.

We are putting Tom Greene and Borat (& most SBC comedy) in the same sentence. Comedy for the sake of making people squirm isn't funny to me.

I have never heard of her before seeing this. She is going to be, how you say, big star.

I really can't imagine anyone wouldn't like this. The story might be predictable in parts, but the cinematography and her performance are stellar.

Have you guys seen Sassy Justice? And what’s your take on it. Funny? Scary? Both?

This. Cringe comedy is a good way to put it. I also don't enjoy comedy at an unsuspecting person's expense, even if they are an ass. I love Chappelle's standup specials, just not the above.

The tension and creepiness of the E1 almost made me ripcord. I was on needles for an hour. Very well done. Chernobyl level good. Got sucked into 3 episodes last night.

Was forced tranquilizers really standard practice for orphanages back in the 50's/60's? Or was this just some shady shit this one orphanage was doing?

I wouldn't think this happened much nationwide but I honestly don't know.

Just started this last night with my wife. Only got through Ep 1. Its going to be hard not to cheat on her, but I told her I'd be faithful.
I finished Utopia on Amazon in a week or so. I enjoyed it, but probably not for everyone. I'm looking for more things to watch. I've even started watching a little bit of Anime. I like One Punch Man. I haven't watched X hunters or whatever it was called on Prime yet.

Young Wallander on Netflix is about a B. Not quite as good as the British adaptation of Henning Mankell's books about the Swedish cop featuring Kenneth Branagh, but it's an interesting prequel. I never saw the Swedish version of the Wallander series, not even sure it's available anywhere in the U.S.

I learned a lot from it, knowing nothing about it going in. Good performance by Frank Langella as the idiot judge.

I liked it. It’s sad we’re still fighting the same battles today. It’s also sad that Abby Hoffman committed suicide.

The last couple of seasons might have missed the mark a bit, but I'm still gonna watch. YEW!

by AvgMSUJoe Thu 19 Nov 2020 - 15:28

Finished this... Worthy of a watch.

I enjoyed Norsemen. I think it got funnier as it went along and I started to understand it better.

by **Rocinante** Thu 19 Nov 2020 - 16:42

I have been watching Maniac after avoiding it for a while because skinny Jonah Hill freaked me out but it’s good!

Sally Field is still amazing.

Ted Lasso is so good. It is exactly what we need right now. Watch it unless you're content to wallow in misery.

I know... I really liked that show. Worth the "free preview" time on Apple plus. Or whatever.

I watched raised by wolves last week. Not sure what to think of it, reading some comments on reddit, I think they were imploring it has a conservative lean to it. I dunno, some of it cheesy, but I'll watch season 2.

The South Park special about covid was hilarious.

So I finished the queens gambit. Do they really have those kind of money tournaments? Is it really that big? I’m guessing it’s somewhere in the middle. But I’m as unwashed and uncultured as they can come. I’m assuming there must be a subculture out there I’ve known shit about for 59 years

Watched the first episode of Your Honor on Showtime. Slowly set the stage for a pretty intense several scenes that become the center of the series.
Bryan Cranston stars. He’s an exceptional actor. There are 10 eps. total in the first season, and I’m guessing it’s just a one off because the storyline would be dragged out forever if it goes any longer. Part 2 of 10 is Sunday night.
Here’s the write up from IMDB:

Bryan Cranston stars as a New Orleans judge who is forced to confront his own deepest convictions when his son is involved in a hit and run that embroils an organized crime family. As a storm of vengeance, lies and deceit threatens to engulf the entire city, Michael Desiato faces a series of increasingly impossible choices and discovers just how far an honest man will go to save his son's life.

It is just the one season, as it is labeled in the promos as a Limited Series (TV code for, "dont even ask about a Season 2).

I watched the first episode. I felt like it could be the first half of basic, predictable movie. But as there are 9 more episodes, I'm expecting a lot of development, twists and turns, etc. So it is worth my time to continue.

Cause Young Magic Johnson was so prevalent in the late 80's would put Shaq to shame....(btw, Just saw Shaq on AEW Wrestling last week

Wait, is that really Magic? I just thought it looked like him after someone said it looked like Jalen.

Also, i know of Magic in the 80s, I'm not that young. I actually watched The Magic Hour.
