What's good on Amazon Prime Video

Red Oaks is one of my favorite shows ever. The character arcs are beautiful. And some really great endings to episodes - the series ending in particular.

look at this unbelievable horseshit

Tom Clancy's ghost is smiling.

Ugh. I actually liked the first season in a mindless sort of way, but that's bad news.

"I can't go to Yemen - I'm an analyst!"

lolll thats really bad.

Jim Goes to Yemen
Jim Goes to Venezuela

this show is suuuuuuuper dumb but I will prob still watch it

Same.

nuclear... venezuela

jim has really been carrying the can for some vile politics over the last few years, huh

Jon Chudinski

but man, Patriot! was bored working from home last week and watched the entire first season bc of this thread. loved it. sad to hear it was cancelled.

this show is suuuuuuuper dumb but I will prob still watch it
otm.

Is anyone else watching Carnival Row? For a show about faeries, it is relentlessly gray and grim. I think Ornaldo Bloomps was badly miscast. The scene where the wizened store owner jerks him off was pretty good though. Is it worth watch the last few eps?

Saw one ep. Felt like Peaky Blinders with fary wings/steampunk, does it get beyond that?

Not really

Undone from BoJack creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg debuts today and looks great

The Jawbreaker doc isn't what I expected, feels more like an overview for people who haven't heard of them.

been watching good omens and halfway-enjoying it out of residual affection for the book--but it's bad. i can't imagine watching this show without having read the book. the kids can't act, neither can the witch. tennant looks bored (by design, but still) and it manages to waste jon hamm, of all people. but michael sheen is delightful, makes the whole thing almost worth it.

the visuals are so frenetically busy underneath her that it undermines her casual delivery from what might otherwise play as deadpan.

this is it. i understand the need for a narrator in adapting this book (it always reminded me of hitchhiker's guide in that regard), but they shoulda just gotten jim dale!

watched the first 10 mins of a Charlie Chaplin documentary on there just now. it was not good.

went back up to check the Good Omens talk and

One of the episodes of Good Omens has the intro 25 minutes in. That's just not on.

i unsubscribed from amazon bc fuck em (no judgment) but i desperately need people to tell me if this show is good

yeah it's pretty good.

Carnival Row looks abominable.

Haha, I forgot I still had a few episodes left of that. It's not very good.

xps Finished Undone and thought it was excellent. It's only eight 22 minute episodes so not a huge commitment and well worth tracking down

it's cool to see/hear Odenkirk insomething again given the interminable delay before the next Better Call Saul season

Agreed, but he’s stayed busy - was in Long Shot, is in the Alexander / Karazewski Dolemite biopic that’s out in two weeks, and though I haven’t seen it & probably never will, is on the US remake of No Activity.

i have only watched one episode and its v good and also it takes place in my city and thats kinda cool 4 me

I watched Serenity last night to see if it was really as bad and batshit as the reviews I read said it was and it was actually worse if you can imagine. In a just world it would end the careers of everyone involved.

Saw the Death doc. Was pretty generic, but a good overview of death metal's origins and evolution.

xpost I heard the How Did This Get Made ep, and ... woof.

I’m kind of enjoying Swamp Thing - though the ‘baddie’ is boring.

(And the baddie is one of those old people who look like a young person in ‘old’ makeup)

Goliath s3 is out, I guess? Will check it out

Hope it doesn't go off the rails like season 2 did.

Goliath is easily the worst show I enjoy

...and yet the s3 premiere is so dumb already I might have to jump ship right here and now

Yeah, that was baaaaad.

I'm so in the tank for that show, i can't imagine not seeing this

I'm not quite sure what they're trying to go for vibe-wise, but we've got some Blue Velvet homage scenes, magical attack crows, and weird appropriative shamanic trances facilitated by drugs. Also, a water crisis exacerbated by almond farmers for the A-plot

I'm not quite sure these episodes are written as much as generated by a plot generation program that was fed a handful of other scripts

I want to support it cause Billy Bob is one of the few remaining genuine Hollywood eccentrics, and Nina Arianda is awesome, but my God I couldn't even finish that episode

still glad I watched it and hate that it didn’t get renewed but the drop off in quality between the first and second season of Patriot is kind of a bummer

I'm enjoying S3 of Goliath more than I thought I would, but I'm only halfway through, so they still have a chance to mess it up. The episode-long flashback (E4) is...not funny-funny, but uncomfortable-funny.

Oh nice, they've added Claire Denis' High Life.

I've been watching educational videos lately, making up for gaps in my college education. I watched this great series on Amazon, "Physics of Light" which had stuff like this Asian dude shooting off guns and stuff. Really good physical illustrations of scientific concepts. Struck a chord with me as I've been spending too much time spying on 4Chan types with their stupid sterotypes of Asians.

just finished undone...the metaphysical stuff was hit or miss for me, but as a family dramedy, it really worked. rosa salazar is excellent and the rest of the cast was really charming and believable.

Modern Love is kind of cute if you like rom coms and relationship shit, but the music on it is fucking godawful, and episode with John Slattery and Tina Fey is horrible.
