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

Reacher is glorious, best dumb guy show in a long time even though Reacher isn't quite as grizzled as I pictured him.

severance, the new ben stiller show on apple+ is good - v weird & absurdly funny

there is a v funny “dinner” party with no food that is well worth the watch

Just watched the two available episodes. Really good so far.

And just watched the first episode of Catastrophe based on recent JM & OL recommendations. Very funny.

Just to say Catastrophe is amazing.

Catastrophe is great. Kinda watched it at the same time as Youre the Worst which is a very different show but exists in a similar place in my mind. Later on This Way Up which is great and Horgans great on that.

I’m still rewatching You’re The Worst, btw… just watched the “LCD Soundsystem” episode, which I remember kind of blowing my mind when it first aired and is still so good.

I think I said earlier (re: The White Lotus) that I’m not usually into satire… tho I just realized two of my all-time favorite shows have lots of satirical elements (YTW, Arrested Development). “Satire with heart”(?)

Not sure why I thought I don’t enjoy it; maybe it’s hard to do “well”? (…but so is anything). Or when I hear satire, I think of a movie where Warren Beatty plays a rapping politician or something… idk.

lcd soundsystem one of the best episodes of tv ever

it’s a shame i hated the third season of you’re the worst so much i never finished it

oh I think the end of You're the Worst was really great

Yeah I don’t remember the middle seasons too well, but S5 (and the finale) were terrific. S5 begins with this incredible “nineties flashback” episode…

there was a really awful camping episode in the third season i couldn’t go on

maybe i’ll finish it this year

Just watched the first episode of "Station Eleven," how uncanny that they started filming this in January 2020.

Reacher was great! Right in my 80s Schwarzenegger/A-Team sweet spot. I think it worked so well because each episode, despite being part of a longer narrative, was essentially a standalone and stuck to the formula of blah blah setup 'wait for Reacher to beat the shit out of someone (often four people)'. That said, the buddy aspect was really well-observed too.

SORT OF SPOILER It had a weird computer game boss-level logic I thought. Reacher destroyed four meatheads in prison in the first episode but by the end was struggling to beat crowbar-wielding little rat-man.

xp I’m 2/3 through Station Eleven and altho I find it uneven, when it hits it’s almost transcendent

also yall with access to Hulu can watch my best friend’s major studio directorial debut NO EXIT this Friday, it looks like a nail-biter

We finished Station Eleven this weekend and then I read the plot outline of the novel it was based on. The changes made were pretty fundamental. I kind of like the direction the show went better.

Yeah it drags a little bit in the middle but overall, i thought it was much better than the book in almost every respect - character, plot, themes etc

Iloved how it ended. Havent read the book though.

I couldn't focus much on the Station Eleven book, but the show is great. I watched episode 4 (the one with David Cross) today and it's one of the best episodes of anything I've watched lately. Archive 81 is up next.

Episode 5 even better imho

Good to hear. I warned my wife that I'd heard of people jumping ship after the first episode, or mid-season, but that everything I've heard about the series as a whole has been great.

Is there a lag latency in Justwatch? I see that some things that timed out of Mubi and Criterion last night are still there.

lag/latency

lol

Yeah, that's a pretty solid encapsualtion of why I still buy physical media like a mofo.

how dare he put in Freddy vs. Jason

Has anyone checked out The Dropout, this new Elizabeth Holmes series on YouTube? I have no particular interest in Holmes’ story, but I think Amanda Seyfried is a really good actress…

*Hulu, not YouTube (don’t know why I wrote YouTube!)

It’s the little gifts, you guys

We watched a little dropout but it was corny.

i'm late to this, but i'm on episode 5 of normal people and quite like it

i think i’m now officially over fictionalized movie/tv adaptations of things that are already documentaries

like can we please just stop this for like a few years

A

Yeah, I can't stand that. Especially since the adaptations always seem to arrive within a year of the doc.

like, Documentary Now did this for 3 seasons to excellent effect & that gap in culture is now filled. Something else plz!

Guess you guys won’t be tuning in to this, huh… https://www.peacocktv.com/stream-tv/joe-vs-carole

yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking of.

hard pass. the docuseries was tiresome enough

For the avoidance of doubt: I wouldn’t watch that show if it were playing in my glasses (to quote an old Jimmy Pardo line)

Kate McKinnon's worst project since forging a relationship with Bari Weiss.

oof. did not know about that one

Maybe Winning Time will get its own thread -- the pilot won me over, but Adam McKay's style doesn't rub me as wrong as it does other on here. Great cast.

we’ve had some brief discussion on the lakers thread on ILH

Firsf episode of _Dropout_ was okay enough but I’m treating it as mid level so far. Music sync choices not bad but there was one amusing moment where they had a Wolf Parade song playing a year before they formed…

Documentary Now did this for 3 seasons to excellent effect & that gap in culture is now filled.

^^^^^ on this. The Documentary Now episode with Cate Blanchett as Marina Abramović went through all the next levels and thoroughly closed the door behind.

Another example: Apple has a new series about the WeWork debacle, starring Leto and Hathaway. But there was just a big WeWork doc last year or so!

If the doc gets attention, it just proves that there is an appetite for more, so I'm never surprised to see the drama get announced soon after

And in full disclosure, I usually prefer the drama version so people like me are exactly the reason this trend won't abate
