Hell yeah! That was one of my favorites back when it was still new. I can't remember if it was an HBO show or a Showtime one but I felt that it should have went on longer.

Vendetta Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 It is an HBO show. I bought the complete series and the movie of the Google Play Store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNAK3S Posted December 13, 2019 Author Share Posted December 13, 2019 Is anyone watch The Witcher? I am curious how that show is doing. Loved the games but I am not sure if this will be something worth watching. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had thought it started on the 13th for some reason which is likely what he thought too. I think it will end up being a great show if they stick true to the general scope of the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't bothered with reviews, but I've been enjoying it. Not sure if it's your cup of tea though. I have run myself dry with hero movies but series seem to be okay. I will give it a shot. I just feel like most programming is force feeding us strong female leads and that has put me off movies and television in many regards but it isn't fair to cast such a big shadow when I know female leads for the right story are phenomenal. Bill Kill is a good example, though a movie and not a series, loved that one. Talks of doing another are in the works too. I would love to see a series myself.

Batwoman isn't really all that "in your face" about its female lead, at least IMO. I had fears it would just be a black-suited version of Supergirl with all the same woken BS, but it turned out not to be. There was one egregious line in an early trailer that stood out to me where Kate claimed the Batsuit's only flaw was that it didn't fit a woman (paraphrasing, not exact quote), but it didn't seem to make it into the actual show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was into comics, loved me some Batwoman and what you mentioned fits her character. They could have easily made her woke af but it would have been too much because she is already a very independent strong female character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admittedly, my only prior experiences with the Batwoman character were the movies Batman: Mystery of the Batwoman and Batman: Bad Blood, but that doesn't surprise me. I don't read a lot of superhero comics, mainly just horror stuff like The Walking Dead, Crossed, and Stitched. Supergirl issues aside, the creative team behind the Arrowverse seem to be among the few who legitimately respect the source material judging from my limited perspective. I have my suspicions as to why Supergirl, unlike the other Arrowverse shows, is so woke, but I think that's way beyond the scope of this thread. At least they didn't make Oliver wear that ridiculous Robin Hood cap, though. That's one deviation from the source I'm thankful for.

I personally enjoyed the first episodes I have watched. I think it is really going to take off in the coming episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry747 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 How come no one mentioned the expanse? I just recently got the 3rd season on DVD. The problem with the expanse is that I can't get enough of it but it'll be ages before the 4th season comes to the UK on DVD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read the books when they came out and loved the series. I’ve not managed to see more than ep 1 of series 4 yet. I’m also in the UK, but have an amazon prime subscription so watch it on streaming.

Sounds pretty good. It reminds me a bit of another show I watched years ago, can't remember the game but it dealt with future world politics and social issues.

SNAK3S Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share Posted January 31, 2020 My sister got me watching This Is Us. It is not a typical show for dudes, I mean I would imagine the majority of the audience is female but the way it is written interested me. Plus it has Mandy Moore in it and she is still a fox.

liquidfire Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Finished up Bojack the other day. Very solid show. This has to be one of the most clever adult cartoons out there. Had I just went based on instincts of it being on Netflix and sounding stupid and never watching it, I would have missed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizTik Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Been in the mood for some comedy lately. Any recommendations for sitcoms or anything like that? Maybe a comedy series?

Foxtrot Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 "For All Mankind" on Apple TV was good, I enjoyed that. Looking forward to the season 2 of Altered Carbon, which starts tomorrow on Netflix. And Ragnarok. I'm enjoying this as well. Slightly off-kilter, but nice for not being American.

EjectedCasings Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Surprised that no one has said it yet, given how overwhelmingly popular it is I've been watching The Simpsons again lately, (not that new seasons garbage). It's on Disney+. Good for if you want to melt your brain for a few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully FX stays faithful to it with this adaption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
