I watched all the episodes of Into the Dark on Hulu. They're pretty miss.

The Body was fun because it was a dark comedy with a hitman having things just spiral out of control like a 90s sitcom.

The Thanksgiving one was pretty bland and forgettable.

Pooka is Sam's Choice Jacobs Ladder

New Year New You was like a revenge story meshed with the urge to be famous I guess?

The first and fourth were my favorites of them

So I know that Blumhouse makes horror on the cheap as their entire gimmick. But man Into the Dark is the opposite of good quality media.

The first one is the best and everything else is just bland

Just watched Await Further Instructions on Netflix and it was certainly a thing.

It's about a family trapped in a house while the tv gives increasingly insane survival warnings.

Then at the end some Lovecraftian thing from beyond ends up living in the tvs and it's taken over everything.

I found something on Netflix called The Kirlian Frequency which is 5 short episodes (only like 8-10 minuted long) that's like an animated Welcome to Nightvale. It's about a small hosed you town in Argentina where creepy poo poo happens and it looks like there's a metaplot developing?

Anyone watch the reality show about people getting chased by hounds in pursuit of a quick buck? I saw it on Netflix but wasn't sure if it was the fun kind of trainwreck or the boring kind of trainwreck

Fine, I'll try watching it again. I bounced hard on the first 2 episodes of Schitt's Creek, but I keep hearing nothing but universal love for it, so I'll push though.

And yeah, cable is just awful. I went without a subscription for years, and then when I moved to my home town and hung out with my folks, I saw that the commercial situation was even worse than before. There's an ocean of commercials now in the middle of a show, and no commercials between episodes. It is completely diabolical, and absolute torture to sit through.

That's not even touching on how some channels speed up shows and movies to fit more commercials

I was about to say! I was sitting somewhere with a TV on and I noticed it when I wasn’t even watching the thing. The intro will play at like 1.5 when it’s just music, 1.3 when there’s words, then the whole episode plays at like 1.1. It sounded so weird until I realized it was on purpose. This is between the same car insurance commercials every 5 minutes.

We have break rooms we use at work when we’re sitting, and it usually goes:

“Wanna watch something?”
“I’d rather leave it off if it doesn’t matter.”
*puts on two hours of Two and a Half Men.*

It’s like boomer crack.

I'm the only person I know who notices it. Everyone else just shrugs and goes "it sounds and looks fine to me" but you can tell. Everything is just slightly off enough that it dries me crazy.

When I heard "streaming live on facebook", that's about what I expected I guess. I think I have a couple to catch up on but i'll check it out when it does.

It's live on Prime.

So what's the preferred plug-in streaming device? My smart TV is several years old, Netflix still works but Hulu crashes often and the Amazon video app no longer works. It's a great TV but aside from its smart apps, all I have are a couple of even older Blu-Ray players and I'm not sure it's worth trying to see if their apps are still any good.

I'm considering getting Disney+ (Brad's Deals has a deal for that+Hulu+ESPN+ for $13/mo) so I'll need to be able to add apps as needed. So what's the breakdown between a Roku, AppleTV, and anything else?

I like our Roku, it seems more reliable than the Chromecast was but they're about even price.

A PS4 isn't a bad suggestion but it takes up more room and runs more. Depending on the room you're looking to stream in it might not be feasible. Like we've got a Roku in the bedroom but the tv is wall mounted and there's nothing to keep a PS4 on so it wouldn't work.

We've got 2 Roku TVs and two Roku Express devices. They're super easy to set up and use. I've never understood the love for the Chromecast. A Roku Express is within a few dollars of a chromecast and doesn't require yet another device to make it work.

It also plays along much nicer with iOS from my anecdotal experience

So I've posted about the Bad Ben movies a few times and uh Nigel just reached for the stars on this one.

Apparently since he dropped the first movie Amazon has changed how they pay out and now it's not worth it to self publish to Amazon video. So his solution was make his own streaming service. Bad Ben TV is a thing that exists, it has its own Roku channel, and right now it has the 7 bad Ben movies plus a backyard wrestling thing that updates weekly.
