Joan is Awful was great, Loch Henry was OK, Beyond the Sea I liked until I realized it was going to be a violent ending. I was hoping they would explore the idea of identity more. Have not yet seen 4 and 5 but will soon.iembalm wrote: Sun Jun 18, 2023 8:16 pmSPOILERAnonymous37 wrote: Sun Jun 18, 2023 6:00 pm Netflix
Black Mirror season 6. I've seen the first 3 episodes ("Joan Is Awful", "Loch Henry", "Beyond the Sea"), but not yet 4 and 5 ("Mazey Day" and "Demon 79"). As always, it's a mixed bag. So far, the standout is "Beyond the Sea". "Loch Henry" doesn't really work but has some truly great moments. "Joan Is Awful" is kind of a head-scratcher, and not in a good way, although it was nice to see Rich Fulcher and Michael Cera in small roles.
I did like Joan is Awful quite a lot. My favorite part of it is that they solved the "problem" of the life-shredding "Netflix" show by...unsubscribing from Netflix.

492Just started the first episode of THE OLD MAN on Hulu last night, and based off that it's Jeff Bridges as Senior Citizen John Wick. Totally down to see where it goes from here!

493Anyone else notice Hulu is showing movies that have been edited for TV? I have a ad-free subscription and realized I hadn't watched a movie on it in a little while. I started watching the horrific Grownups movie, and noticed a fade to black every 8-10 minutes and the swears were dubbed out! No commercials, just fade out and back again awkwardly.

498Telemarketers on Max is good. And while it's a slight spoiler alert, as always: ACAB.

499Kind of a misnomer, the title. Couldn't have been that great a hoax, no one I know nor myself has ever heard of them.
As for what I'm watching, the newest season of Party Down (Hulu) is pretty good. Hits all those original notes with a little more story. Fun stuff.
Silo on Apple TV seems like dumb fun with a slight sci-fi edge that ticks the conspiracy boxes alright.

500Second this - seems like some people didn't 'get it' in terms of reading online, but personally loved how the whole thing went. Patrick J Pespas with the flying V had me going.penningtron wrote: Wed Aug 30, 2023 8:59 am Telemarketers on Max is good. And while it's a slight spoiler alert, as always: ACAB.
