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

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?"

More love for “Somebody Somewhere”.

Also, two episodes into "Pieces of Her" and enjoying it so far.

Completely obsessed with "Severance".

New season of Upload is on Prime, I quite like it. It doesnt feel like a Greg Daniels joint for some reason but its still entertaining, though I want to slap his vain stupid girlfriend.

Pieces of Her is jarring for me, its meant to be set in Georgia/outer suburban ATL or something right? But it is SO clearly filmed in Sydney.

network TV, but I caught five seconds of the "the wrestler The Rock as a young boy" tv show Young Rock the other day, and learnt it is filmed in Australia. good old pandemic.

Quite enjoyed the first season haven't got around to starting the second one yet xps

Anyone else watching Shining Vale with Greg Kinnear/Courtney Cox? First couple of episodes were ok and I'll keep watching because of Horgan's involvement

Looking forward to this one. The book series is excellent.

Really liking the Dropout, which has reached episode 6 in the Disney dripfeed schedule. The first episode is corny, as noted by others above, but the series really takes off by the third episode and the performances are excellent.

I’m also watching WeCrashed, the WeWork factionisation, on Apple TV. It’s eminently watchable but doesn’t have the same narrative tension or outstanding performances.

My 'huh, this is kinda all right I guess' series I'm currently watching is Halo -- never have played the games or anything but I was curious and while it's not great or anything I kinda appreciate the counterintuitive weird chilly/paranoid vibe so far as opposed to nonstop action. Perhaps appropriately, I was startled when the end credits ran for the second episode and I realized Keir Dullea was in it! Should have clocked him out of the gate.

Really enjoyed Somebody Somewhere … thanks for mentioning the show up thread

Pachinko (Apple TV+) has been excellent so far. Nice to have a South Korean show without zombies or murder games.

And the opening titles are fantastic.

opening titles are bonkers

Is there really no thread or even mention of Severance on ILX? Did I search wrong?

Seasonal finale was last night and honest to god maybe the best episode of a TV show I've ever seen.

Are you kidding? Or maybe you are severed yourself?

Sorry.
This is Kier Egan. I love you, daniel s.

Aargh Eagan.

to be clear, that other thread was repurposed to be about the show.

I did a search! It didn't show up!

Hmm.

Might bite the bullet and get Apple TV for Severance. Is Slow Horses any good?

KAJ apparently likes it, according to his substack.

If you like space/alternate history, you might want to wait till For All Mankind season 3 drops (no idea when that'll be though other than probably sometime this year).
