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

And I mean that's the part of the show that's good! The way the people bleed into each other. Portia playing Dory, and Drew trying to weave a web of lies is kind of Drew playing Dory.

I subscribe to WWE Network and NJPW World—the latter through Amazon—and I use FITE for some PPVs. I also buy AEW PPVs through Bleacher Report.

xp and Dory donning the blond wig this ep -- "playing Portia," kind of -- just heightens this

Derek DelGaudio’s show on Hulu was pretty great:

Don’t want to spoil anything, but some of the tricks he does are pretty impressive/creepy!

i absolutely loved In and Of Itself, one of the best things I saw last year. unreservedly recommended.

Can kids watch it?

It's pretty heavy. A little bit of swearing. I'd say 12+, maybe? My 14-year-olds liked it but were uncomfortable with some of the emotional stuff.

Made one of them want to pick up his cards again.

my partner and i were both crying by the end. it's really moving.

In and of itself was awesome. Very unexpected and moving. Thanks for recommending.

Interesting, can't wait to watch. My wife just participated in an online Zoom production of something similar, by a Scottish mentalist/magician/monologue guy Scott Silven. The show itself was a little too try-hard on the sentimental side, but the tricks were good, and made good use of the live zoom audience.

this was incredible. Watched it and then again just a few hours later w/ both my daughters...

Ted Lasso is like a magic streaming antidepressant. So glad I watched it. Tempted to start all over again.

Another recommendation for In & Of Itself. I went in with Ricky Jay & His 52 Assistants (a show I saw live) as a reference point - this is absolutely Not That, but what it is is pretty fucking incredible. By all means watch it, preferably with someone else, I think.

and definitely don't ask what it's about! and if you've seen it don't say! it's a show that more or less requires you going in blind for maximum effect.

yes, totally

After only one episode, I am deeming the new weirdo Adam McCay produced show on HBO wherein John Lurie speaks bits of zen wisdom and paints ("Painting with John", naturally) worth your time.

Hereafter shortened to "deemsing it"

but what if you didn't like it? "De-deemsing it"?

Emsing it

In and Of Itself is certainly engrossing and affecting. I spent a lot of time later thinking about how he did the big trick (the letters) and I think I figured it out which made it a little less special but it's not really about the technical artistry of what he did but how people respond. And I'll never not be blown away by stupid card tricks too.

Yeah, as a child of David Copperfield, I'm innately dubious of any magic performed on TV, but card tricks are always fun.

This is really happening here’s the title treatment for the new @disneyplus ‘Willow’ series. I couldn’t be happier to be reprising my role as the titular character. I’m a Great Sorcerer! pic.twitter.com/WTPVD4kFUC

I'm going to start Flack tonight. I'm not sure if I want it to be more or less trashy than the trailer makes it look.

Just starting to watch The Expanse. Two episodes in and lots of story lines. Seems entertaining though. Keep going?

YES IT RULES

I have low expectations, but I'm all in for Willow. For some reason I ended up getting a novelization of the movie about two months before I finally saw the thing and fell for it so hard. I was always annoyed my friends weren't as into it as I was. Was happy that my son really liked it when we watched it early on in the pandemic.

I'm all in on Willow too, lotsa childhood love for that one

I think it took til ep 3 or 4 to really hook me on The Expanse.

We tried The Expanse as a show to watch together, but my wife thought the first ep was really boring and didn't want to continue, so I think I need to make that a show I watch on my own (though part of me wants to read the books first).

First ep was really clunky but it massively improves and is one of the best shows around at the moment

thank u thread for recommending patriot

xposts, thanks, will push on. my wife (who admittedly has low tolerance for SF) bailed after first episode.

So did mine! But now she is now super into it (after I asked he to give it one more chance).

her

what part of EXPANSE RULES dont u understand jeez

:D

My wife similarly was nonplussed by the Expanse leaving it as a show I'd have to watcgh on my own, but I actually hate watching TV by myself so it's unlikely I'll ever get around to it unless we wind up in quarantine for another full year and I go truly mad.

Did three episodes of Flack last night. Wasn't quite convinced at first but it's pretty good.

I've watched something between the first 0.5 and 1.5 episodes of the Expanse like 3 times and haven't gotten up the momentum to actually watch it, but people sure do like it.

Watched part of ep 1 of Flack while doing dishes, seems enjoyably frothy though no more than that.

ps if I am left kind of cold by first half of first ep of Patriot should I keep watching? Can somebody give me a sense of what kind of show it actually is?

Have watched a few Brockmires and can't tell whether I actually like it or just like the voice he does

yeah I tried the Expanse after the last time peeps here said I'd love it re babylon 5 and I bailed after 2 eps as well :/

I have low expectations, but I'm all in for Willow.

We ended up rewatching it a few months ago -- at once a product of its time but kinda sweet nonetheless. (And a pretty great reminder that for all that the LOTR films are my gold standard, Willow did the business by actually HAVING a notable cast of actors of short stature.)

Willow is absolutely wonderful

And it looks absolutely incredible to this day

Yeah, I was really glad my son liked it.

The thing with The Expanse is it starts out as a somewhat cheesy "space noir" detective show and rapidly (like, by the end of Season 1) becomes something very different. Take the ride.

yeah lol i forgot how cliché the whole miller situation is at the start. v eye-rolling. but yeah it finds a different gear.

We've blown through most of the first two seasons over the last couple of weeks. Good value space adventurin' imo. I also appreciate how deftly they handle a convoluted conceit. They kinda drop you into the deep end but after a couple episodes I've never had any trouble following the plot complications.

I know the disney brand doesnt mean anything anymore in terms of what type of "content" (love that word, feels good to use) one can expect from them, but that image really cemented it
