BigBallChunkyTime posted:I just watched the first episode of The Act on Hulu and I love it. I looked up the story it's based on so ultimately l know what happens. Is the story told well, at least? Well? Incredibly so. Completely factually? Maybe not. The girlfriend and I have been watching it this entire time, all that's left is the last episode. I'm kind of sad about it ending. It's been heart wrenching and anger inducing the entire way through.

I have trouble watching The Act. It's very well done, but the way it's framed (with every episode starting with the night of DeeDee's murder) left a really bad taste in my mouth, like "here's this gruesome crime scene and then here's another hour of emotional, psychological and physical abuse so you get some false catharsis from the murder". I recognize that it's just me being dumb and oversensitive but it's pretty clear from everything about the real-life story that DeeDee was severely mentally ill and the show just makes her out to be a manipulative psycho for the good-mom vibes from what I've seen so far.

Theres a documentary about the whole thing called Mommy Dead and Dearest on HBO, i think. Its pretty good and some of the reenactments on The Act are from the doc. Nick Godejohn is played by one of the actors from Austin and Ally on Disney. Its really interesting to see this kid go from a wholesome show to murdering Mom but he does it really good.

According to the wikipedia page about the murder, Dee Dee's father and stepmother flushed her ashes down the toilet. Also I hadn't heard of this case until I started watching the show, and Gypsy's boyfriend was from the next county over from me.

Does anyone know if the 1981 Sam Neill-starring horror movie Possession is available to watch anywhere? I can't find it streaming anywhere, and it's also not available through Netflix's DVD rentals. I thought the internet was supposed to make obscure movies easier to find

Tuca and Bertie is completely insane and I kind of love it. It doesn't get quite as existentially horrifying as Bojack but it doesn't exactly shy away from it. I knew I was in for something weird when the intro started with a dancing building with big floppy boobs, but even that didn't prepare me for how weird it was.

Finished watching Chernobyl on HBO. I recognized the prosecutor in the last episode, but I couldn't place him. I thought, "Gee, Coach is looking Poltergeist young there!" Turns out it's the Roose Bolton actor from GoT. I'd love to find out the song played during the end of the last episode. I'd search it but I'm about to drift off to sleep.

The old senior party member who bangs his cane and tells everyone in a meeting to prevent the news from getting out was the maester of winterfell, and the soldier who shoots the cow was Pyp from the nights watch

currently watching dark on netflix. its really good if you can do subtitles or can stand the lovely va netflix uses. i personally cant stand the same 4 va's netflix uses in 99% of its poo poo but im fine w/ the subtitles. its a german tv show so if you sprechen sie deutsch you should really check it out. its a mystery involving time travel but it doesnt have the normal time travel problems and honestly the time travel while a big part of it isnt as big as you think. its more like all you zombies style of time travel if you are familiar with that. snergle has a new favorite as of 22:51 on Jun 7, 2019 |

I watched the first episode of Dark a while back and have been meaning to get through the rest of the first season before S02 lands. I got a really good vibe off the first episode, like a more intelligent version of Stranger Things, so I've been meaning to check it out for a while. Netflix just alerted me that the 3rd season of 3% is now streaming. It's a dystopian Brazilian sci-fi drama that really hooked me from the start. Its central concept is based on the idea of a meritocracy-led system of government allowing poors into their utopia depending on how well they do in passing through a series of increasingly contrived tests.

I finished The Umbrella Academy the other night, thought it was pretty fun. The myself choices seemed pretty on-the-nose or "WACKY" every time but the look of the show more than makes up for it.

The second series of Cloak & Dagger recently wrapped up (it's on Amazon Prime here in the UK, and I think it's on Hulu in the US). It's a bit of a slow start in the first season, but the chemistry between the two leads is great and they take full advantage of it being set in New Orleans as part of their worldbuilding, and once it gets rolling it's firing on all cylinders. And the second series is an improvement on the first. I'd definitely recommend it.

It was airing on ABC/Freeform, which I think is part of the overall Disney empire and not a coproduction, so it might be OK? Maybe they'll just migrate it over to the new platform.

Really enjoyed "The Boys" on Amazon Prime. Corporate, corrupted superheroes had me binge the whole thing in one sitting. Some good "I can't believe that just happened!" moments, one in particular that left my jaw hanging open but also laughing.

I watched the first two episodes of “The Boys” and really liked it. I’m not a huge superhero guy, but I do like stories that show everyday people living in a world gone mad, which is an itch this show seems to scratch pretty well. Good blend of humor/drama, too.

The comics of "The Boys" is really gruesome and I'm really glad the show is nearly as bad.

I've been on an international kick this summer, I can recommend Club De Cuervos (plus its spinoffs Hugo Sanchez and I, Potro), A Very Secret Service, Sacred Games (2nd season is coming), and Black Earth Rising. I also burned through I Am the Night last week but it felt a little anticlimactic (great atmosphere).
