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

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

My wife’s been watching The Righteous Gemstones, and I’ve seen chunks of it (without paying close enough attention to really follow the plot). There’s some funny stuff—particularly involving the adult siblings—but every character pretty much talks in the exact same “voice” (Danny McBride’s, I assume).

(real tv show, also The Righteous Gemstones fyi)

(every character is profane, but most of them definitely have distinct voices)

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

On the flipside, less than a year after a high profile Lucille Ball movie, now it looks like we're getting a high profile Lucille Ball documentary.

Ten weeks later on the same streaming platform, one month later at Sundance.

The Dropout is super corny, but I think Seyfried is great at nailing the awkwardness.

Started watching The Flight Attendant based on a few recommendations here. So far so good, but somehow it is also reminding me a bit of this old show, which I believe originated on Sky One, not sure how I saw it here in the US.

I watched “Somebody Somewhere” on HBOMax & finished it in two days, it’s great. so lovely & normcore & yeah its kinda Duplass-y but not in an annoying way. Bridgett Everett is fantastic.

Yeah, it's very quality stuff, funny and sweet. I'm not into the Duplassy thing either, maybe it helps that they weren't actually in it. Everett is a revelation.

also Murray Hill as Fred Rococo omg <3

Halfway through Bad Vegan and yeeeeesh. (I am amused that 'Netflix documentary' is clearly its own genre now given how the term is used in conversation out of the gate.)

as someone who has carried Bridget onto a stage before, welcome to the party

"Kate McKinnon's worst project since forging a relationship with Bari Weiss." wait what?

xp for the record i think Bridget and Murray and Jeff Hiller are all amazing on this show but the plotting and the show itself just doesn't live up to what they bring to the table

oh that was some time ago. nvm (xpost)

xpost i think i agree. i loved the show as-is but i definitely felt like it could have easily gone deeper, weirder, funnier & sadder with that cast. so good.

the show also felt like maybe it started as a movie & they turned it into a show? maybe its just me

bridget's first show on Amazon "Love You More" - which never got past the pilot - was perfect but bezos done fucked up

"Kate McKinnon's worst project since forging a relationship with Bari Weiss." wait what?

Not gonna lie, my first thought was " Isn't she gay? What's she doing with the Storage Wars dude?"
