It's pretty decent and it's supposed to be set 10 years before the original ST series. But they've got way-more advanced tech than ANY ST series or movie. But I'll roll with that... I'm most of the way through my binge of season 2.

Re: What are you watching?
~37 years or so of production, the soap opera has racked up episodes. I was into General Hospital back in the Luke & Laura era, but I don't do soaps anymore. General Hospital has more than 14,000 episodes (since premiering in 1963).

Does anyone watch The Handmaid's Tale? Season 4 begins on Wed.

Re: What are you watching?
Those all sound so good. But I cannot - CAN NOT - watch subtitles. I have to be doing something with my hands (needlework, puzzles), so I can’t watch something that requires eyes in the screen at all times.

Re: What are you watching?
That's a lot of TV. What are they - 10 minutes apiece or something?
Nevermind. Neon answered. A loooong running soap.

Now, I'm going to have to finally finish Season 3. I fell off about halfway through and never went back. I read the book so many years ago.

Until I get over the :shit" consequences of getting hit by an uninsured driver and working on replacing a totaled vehicle, I'm on comfort TV outside of the cable news.
Season Three of The Greatest American Hero. What a great show, great fun, and Robert Culp . I forget which episode it was today, but Ralph brings up his students and their questions about Paul McCartney being in a band before Wings. Damn, I've heard that before.

The Greatest American Hero is cheesy as all heck. Even the portrayal of the 'aliens' was ridiculous.
We get a couple episodes here on MeTV each Saturday morning, broadcast TV. I Luvs it!
Re: What are you watching?
Prime Video lets me watch season one and three (why no Seasons two???). Cheesy it is, but so entertaining and comfort TV. Robert Culp is tops. I can't recall the exact count, but Culp played a Columbo villain several times.neonzx wrote: ↑Mon Apr 26, 2021 8:07 pmLOLKendra wrote: ↑Mon Apr 26, 2021 7:46 pm Until I get over the :shit" consequences of getting hit by an uninsured driver and working on replacing a totaled vehicle, I'm on comfort TV outside of the cable news.

Re: What are you watching?
The book is brilliant. A very powerful read.
I recommend reading The Testaments. Iirc, there are rumors that season 5 might include stories from The Testaments.

I've no clue why they restrict Season #2. But I can confirm it is restricted for whatever stupid reason.

Re: What are you watching?
Stowaway on Netflix streaming is a morality play wrapped in a bit of scifi that tries to show the arc of humanity in a microcosm. It seems slow, but it's deliberate. You have time to appreciate the situation, and the price of leadership.

That was a good recommend. Yeah, it is a bit slow.

Hannibal. Netflix.
Jeez, there’s a lot of dark in Thomas Harris’s mind. It on display here, well fleshed out by the writers and Brian Fuller.
I like Mads Mikkelson in the titular role. Watching Hannibal go from supremely, serenely confident as he feeds bits of his victims to his FBI colleagues then less and less confident as the profiler Will Graham gets closer to figuring it all out is very satisfying. His characterization is perfection. I wonder if he got the willies every night?
It’s erudite snd sophisticated and gory as hell.
Don’t watch if you’re allergic to gore. I mean it.

I love this series and love Mads in the Hannibal role. I think he played that role to perfection. I agree about the gore. OMG the way some characters meet their end is pretty ookie.Kate520 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 29, 2021 10:43 am Hannibal. Netflix.

Season three was a little disappointing to me as it got further and further in, but I won't spoil anything by saying why.

Psylocybin or shitake? I considered the first due to Will’s confusions.
Re: What are you watching?
I think he's talking about Episode 2 of Season 1. Shhhhh. Or maybe not! But that is what came to my mind first.
