But Is It on Netflix? - Streaming Video Service Thread: Hulu, Amazon Prime, Apple TV+, Disney+, Peacock, YouTube TV, AT+T Watch, Philo, Playstation Vue, HBO Max, HBO Now, Facebook Live and many more

the biosphere 2 documentary on hulu - spaceship earth - is a delight. it feels pretty biased towards the weird hippie almost-cult that built the biosphere, but i really enjoyed watching it.

scored by frequent ilxor owen pallett

oh i didn't even catch that

yeah otm it was v good!

Quibi's lineup is unreal
they have a judge show where the judge is......... Chrissy Teigen

yep. where have you been

missed opportunity to resurrect Mock Trial with Judge Reinhold

xpost I think Columbo can be streamed on Amazon, but it's also available to stream for free on ... some other service besides youtube

IMDB TV, which for some reason is a thing, and also the conduit for Columbo to appear on Amazon (it plays with ads in the ad breaks). The Columbo youtube channel shuffles a handful of episodes in and out periodically, as I understand it.

xpost we're going to all feel foolish in the future when people are referring to 30 and 60 minutes shows as extended-Quibis and maxi-Quibis, and movies are known as many-Quibis-sewn-together

Has Jeffrey Katzenberg ever had an actual good idea in either art or business, or had a detectable hand in overseeing any work of moderate quality? Geffen at least had shown good A&R instincts in the '70s

he wasn't responsible for the disney renaissance. maybe moving dreamworks to 3D animation only.

clearly not a good idea for art (taking commercial children's entertainment on its own terms as art), dubious whether making the films look more generic and become more expensive to make in terms of manhours, render time and electricity stands as a good business decision

it's something a normal exec could put on a resume, or a Katzenberg could get written up in profiles, sure

quibi rebooted reno 911, so there’s that

actually, not a reboot so much as a whole new series of the original show

good

yeah i saw an ad on TV for a new season of Reno 911 and i got excited but then I saw it was on Qubi, so oh well guess not

White Lines on Netflix is diverting and entertaining although the lead actress is annoying as is the actor playing her missing brother. It's stupendously dumb the way Outer Breaks is and even shares an almost identical scene with a boat.

I tried watching Medicis but i couldnt get into it

I think maybe i will go back to Narcos and pick up where I left off

Random tweet @Quibi is DOPE...

yesterday I watched a short film on Night Flight called Junior High School that boasted a young Paula Abdul but also featured a baby Ira Kaplan!! That Ira Kaplan!

the film was abysmal tbh but it was amusing and only 33 min

xxp Wondering did he also shill Fyre in a self-described "random tweet"?

so there's a second season of Homecoming on Prime without Julia Roberts?

yep, with Janelle Monae in the lead.
I didn't care enough for season one to get through the third episode; season two is getting worse critical response.

i enjoyed s1, not sure if i'll bother with s2

I like season 2 so far, but I don’t know if it was necessary. I really loved s1.

i can't remember wtf happened in season 1 at all.

I could have sworn I got a push notification from my cell provider that I can get free Quibi, but I haven't bothered following up because I don't want to watch that shit on my phone. Or at all, really.

i guess i should do that. T-Mobile is offering, I think, assuming it hasn't already expired

i can't remember wtf happened in season 1 at all.

that's exactly what bobby cannavale wants!

I forgot he was even in this show. I watched the recap of season 1 the other day and wondered if I'd been so high the night I'd binged it I'd managed to not retain anything, because almost nothing was familiar.

Didn't realize HBO Max was going to have Looney Tunes. Immediately vaults it to the top of the streaming service rankings.

Get high, watch Duck Amuck and then The Searchers - beat that, Netflix

dethpicable

Signed up for HBO Max two months ago. Really disappointed to not find out until launch day that it won’t be available on Roku - our only streaming option. What a joke. I hope this blows up in their faces. Not only do we have to pay for multiple streaming services, we also have to pay for multiple streaming devices to keep up?

That sucks, I was going to replace my piece of shit Apple TV with a Roku soon.

I guess I have to buy an Apple TV now? I mean, I guess that’s the cheaper option as opposed to buying a new gaming platform. Frustrating.

Yeah I was wondering about tha lack of Roku. (I'm not entirely fussed, I ended up with HBO via AT&T being my cell provider so HBO Max is just a free addon as far as I'm concerned.) Various articles about it today, including this:

https://www.cnet.com/news/warnermedia-has-hbo-max-apps-ready-for-amazon-and-roku/

I did appreciate all the Twitter chatter about how deep the various hubs actually are on the service -- namely, not entirely:

That said, TCM and all the classic WB cartoon stuff being in place = works for me!

xxp - I had a NVidia Shield TV that worked great before a power surge blew it up.

That sucks, I was going to replace my piece of shit Apple TV with a Roku soon.

come on

Both of my current gen Apple TVs have been incapable of maintaining a decent wifi speed. One couldn’t even maintain non-buffering speeds over Ethernet. They also need restarting more than any streaming device I’ve owned.

Never owning another AppleTV.

we watched the first ep of The Great tnite -- fun!

I don't know, I've had my share of connection problems but I don't think that it's been about Apple TV. I had to have somebody come in and make a direct cable connection to the room I was viewing in, that made a difference

i used a plug-in wifi extender from netgear and it helped immensely. I don't get how these things work (they leverage the power circuit in your house); prior to this I always had buffering issues with appletv and wifi. but I had worse problems with the Roku I had (which was older).

I have an Orbi, the main unit is in the living room plugged into the modem. The satellite is in the bedroom, ethernet connected to my AppleTV there. My thinking is that the satellite is getting a better signal however it does and by using the ethernet cable there the AppleTV isn't using wifi at all.

but I'm out at the inlaws now and appleTV is on WIFI and it's fine.

ORBI uses 5G (!) to connect the main unit to the satellite so it should be a very fast connection between them. from there a wired connection should give you no speed penalty - so yes, a good solution. (i have an ORBI setup too and like it a lot)

my apple tv works flawlessly

orbi uses 5GHz range, not 5G iirc

5g fuck! Why didn’t anybody warn me. Gonna rip that shit out and just run Ethernet everywhere.
