Okay I watched season 2 of The OA. Despite HATING the s1 finale, I liked the general concept of the show before that.

Can someone explain the s2 finale to me? I wasn't paying close enough attention and didn't realize it was the finale.

I felt like season two was the same. It was very boring until the last two episodes where they were actually doing the heist.

I really don't like how season 3 brings everyone into the con game. The show was much better when it was a family story at heart. I am a sucker for the heist aspect but I think season 1 is still above and beyond the best.

drat. My buddy who I was leeching off of canned Hulu and now I'm addicted to it but I already have like 3 streaming services. Ugh I might need to sub. It's becoming my favorite one. No ads is so much better but twice the price. Decisions.

Is there any Hulu deals floating around? Too bad that spotify thing is no more.

Check your cell phone provider, a few plans include Hulu.

Watched the first four eps of The Boys today, pretty good so far. I appreciate that they have toned the edge way down from the comics, while still leaving enough to get the point across.

Obviously there have been lots of changes, but they are keeping the general idea so far and I like most of the changes anyway.

One I have noted that is interesting is that in the comics the supes are not only morally bankrupt, but they are also criticized for being really incompetent on top. In the show so far, they seem to have a better idea of what they are doing, if still a long way from perfect. For example the opening scene with Maeve and Homelander and the armored car, plus the scene with Starlight and Deep at the warehouse on the docks and they get it done with no innocent bystanders getting got, although Homelander was probably a bit excessive on the dude he tossed down the street. . Both scenes are invented for the show as well.

Oh don't worry, there's plenty of incompetence in later episodes. okay look, if I touch it will you just be quiet????

I liked the Office but I have the same problem with it that I did with Office Space. I worked at Best Buy at the time and everyone was like "Oh I relate to this so much!". No you don't. Retail life is a different thing than office life. Both are layers of Hell, but different layers.

One thing I enjoy doing is taking recommendations from this thread without looking up anything about the title, just going in blind. For the most part it's rewarding, my wife can't stand it though and has to watch a trailer beforehand.

My friends don't trust me for blind recommendations anymore after I told them they should watch the heartwarming feel good documentary, Dear Zachary. I got my sister to watch it on Christmas.

I mean, it doesn't bother me that they release it all at one time, but there is something to be said about the watercooler discussion. Every Monday at work we'd all talk about the Mandolorian, you lose that when it's all at one time. Sure people could watch it one episode a week when it's dropped all at once, but that's not the real reason why weekly works.

Expanse season 1 is decent but starting with season 2 it's absolutely fantastic, and I'm not usually a big fan of Sci Fi shows

If you're impatient you can start with S2 and the show does a great job of catching you up, but S1 has some really great moments you don't wanna miss

Stay away from the agua

I wouldn't skip season 1. It's a bit different but it really does a good job introducing the various factions and people, and man that final part when Miller finds Julie is just such a great scene. Skipping season one means you pretty much completely miss out on Thomas Jane.
