What's good on Amazon Prime Video

he's on a new show from the creator of Patriot

oh damn that sucks it got cancelled.

the technical talk in patriot is amazing. that scene where he has to bluff his way through that speech? and i didnt like season 2 as much as season 1, but still, it was good.

yeah s2 of prime is a downer after s1. still pretty good but doesn't hit the highs of the first season. and they clearly were expecting to have another season based on how s2 ended.

There's a new stand-up special by Jim Gaffigan that's pretty funny if you like him (I do). Somewhere in the middle he does 10 straight minutes of jokes about horses, and by the end of it he's actively ridiculing the audience for being annoyed by all the horse jokes.

it's a soap but I really love Made In Heaven

vegemitegrrl recs have *never* let me down. just finished red oaks and jfc that show. the writing in general overall, but the way Nash puts his part over was SO effing wonderful. and Paul Reiser as asshole with a heart was really well played

isn’t it great!?

yay! another Red Oaks fan! wonderful from beginning to end and love how they let characters develop

Josh Meyers is a great example he could have just stayed a douche but he really loved her and was sweet in his way

Red Oaks is one of my favorite shows ever. The character arcs are beautiful. And some really great endings to episodes - the series ending in particular.

look at this unbelievable horseshit

Tom Clancy's ghost is smiling.

Ugh. I actually liked the first season in a mindless sort of way, but that's bad news.

"I can't go to Yemen - I'm an analyst!"

lolll thats really bad.

Jim Goes to Yemen
Jim Goes to Venezuela

this show is suuuuuuuper dumb but I will prob still watch it

Same.

nuclear... venezuela

jim has really been carrying the can for some vile politics over the last few years, huh

Jon Chudinski

but man, Patriot! was bored working from home last week and watched the entire first season bc of this thread. loved it. sad to hear it was cancelled.

otm.

Is anyone else watching Carnival Row? For a show about faeries, it is relentlessly gray and grim. I think Ornaldo Bloomps was badly miscast. The scene where the wizened store owner jerks him off was pretty good though. Is it worth watch the last few eps?

Saw one ep. Felt like Peaky Blinders with fary wings/steampunk, does it get beyond that?

Not really

Undone from BoJack creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg debuts today and looks great

The Jawbreaker doc isn't what I expected, feels more like an overview for people who haven't heard of them.

been watching good omens and halfway-enjoying it out of residual affection for the book--but it's bad. i can't imagine watching this show without having read the book. the kids can't act, neither can the witch. tennant looks bored (by design, but still) and it manages to waste jon hamm, of all people. but michael sheen is delightful, makes the whole thing almost worth it.

the visuals are so frenetically busy underneath her that it undermines her casual delivery from what might otherwise play as deadpan.

this is it. i understand the need for a narrator in adapting this book (it always reminded me of hitchhiker's guide in that regard), but they shoulda just gotten jim dale!

watched the first 10 mins of a Charlie Chaplin documentary on there just now. it was not good.

went back up to check the Good Omens talk and

One of the episodes of Good Omens has the intro 25 minutes in. That's just not on.

i unsubscribed from amazon bc fuck em (no judgment) but i desperately need people to tell me if this show is good

yeah it's pretty good.

Carnival Row looks abominable.

Haha, I forgot I still had a few episodes left of that. It's not very good.

xps Finished Undone and thought it was excellent. It's only eight 22 minute episodes so not a huge commitment and well worth tracking down

it's cool to see/hear Odenkirk insomething again given the interminable delay before the next Better Call Saul season

Agreed, but he’s stayed busy - was in Long Shot, is in the Alexander / Karazewski Dolemite biopic that’s out in two weeks, and though I haven’t seen it & probably never will, is on the US remake of No Activity.

i have only watched one episode and its v good and also it takes place in my city and thats kinda cool 4 me

I watched Serenity last night to see if it was really as bad and batshit as the reviews I read said it was and it was actually worse if you can imagine. In a just world it would end the careers of everyone involved.

Saw the Death doc. Was pretty generic, but a good overview of death metal's origins and evolution.

xpost I heard the How Did This Get Made ep, and ... woof.

I’m kind of enjoying Swamp Thing - though the ‘baddie’ is boring.

(And the baddie is one of those old people who look like a young person in ‘old’ makeup)

Goliath s3 is out, I guess? Will check it out

Hope it doesn't go off the rails like season 2 did.

Goliath is easily the worst show I enjoy

...and yet the s3 premiere is so dumb already I might have to jump ship right here and now

Yeah, that was baaaaad.
