Yep Sneaky Pete is good and I think if you like it, there's a solid chance you'll like Shut Eye as well.

Bottom line for us is that we can get Amazon, Netflix, Hulu, HBO Now and Fandor all for less than we'd pay for the most basic cable package (even taking into account that we get our Internet from a cable company). That's a poo poo ton more content for less money, so I really don't feel like complaining.

DivisionPost posted:I got you all beat for inane non-problems. I do this too and the bigger issue for me is that sometimes a PS4 will go into sleep mode even though it's right in the middle of something. I believe it only happens with YouTube though, I know we've gone to bed with Netflix on and in the morning realize we've sleep-watched a whole season of something. I tried switching to podcasts but the ones I listen to are too funny to fall asleep, or too loud for my wife, or both.

Rhyno posted:I really thought talking animals was where the show was going! Such a bummer. Is season two up for streaming yet? Yeah, it got added to Netflix recently. I am given to understand that the plot in season 2 is about as batshit as "a talking bear" without actually including a talking bear. It's Under the Dome levels of fascinatingly dumb.

We had a 200gb data cap for like 3 months before the shitstorm of public response made them raise it to 1000gb (which, this month, we've used half of, and that includes downloading a lot of large PS4 games). Which areas still have a 200gb cap? That would indeed be awful. precision fucked around with this message at 20:27 on Jan 24, 2017 |

Rocksicles posted:Leah Remini's show about Scientology is reallllllly good. There's something infuriatingly tone deaf about a network's site asking me to log in with my cable company, when I do in fact pay a cable company for my internet, and then being told my company won't let me watch the show on the website, which only makes me go "well okay then have it your way I'll just pirate it, goddamn people" Like seriously this is 2017 here A&E.

bagrada posted:I got a Nielson survey in the mail, came with a crisp new $5.00 bill and offered me another if I returned the survey about my favorites. Netflix counts as a channel, right? If not I guess I could have answered NBC, they have The Good Place and This is Us. Add in Timeless, Powerless, Black List and Emerald City and I'm watching the most shows from them this year so far. My wife and I have been a Nielsen family for a little over a year now. Maybe they're watching this thread

If anything the problem with LOST was that it answered too much. For example, the episode with Richard's back story was cool but also completely unnecessary.
