Can anyone explain the state of Hulu vs Peacock? Seems like there is currently a lot of overlap, but is all NBC content moving to Peacock eventually?

There was talk that Station Eleven was “uplifting” because it showed art surviving in a post-pandemic future but it was still overall pretty grim. Even after everyone gets killed off.

If you intentionally make broadly appealing content like Red Notice, of course you are going to promote it to every user of your service.

Tokelau All Star posted:We had elderly relatives staying with us for the last week so we started watching Great British Bake-Off, and you know what, it's loving great. Wow, did Netflix US lose the earlier seasons of GBBO somehow? Now they only have “Collections 5-9” and none of the BBC ones.

PBS didn’t start airing the show until BBC s4 so the numbering is confusing. Netflix used to have Collections 1-4 (BBC s4-7) plus a separate Beginnings series (BBC s3). I guess their contract with PBS expired so all those are gone. https://heresthedish.com/gbbo-vs-gbbs/

Enjoying Reacher through two episodes, although a bit more gory than I expected. Gouging out eyes during a brawl is one thing but long shots of a full frontal bloody crucifixion are a bit much.

I’m just a simple man but I do love when Peacemaker name-drops some random superhero with an incredibly stupid name and of course it’s some DC character that’s been around since 1962. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matter-Eater_Lad

punk rebel ecks posted:So I've watched the first two episodes of Murder in Successville and yeah it's literally Murderville before Murderville. Also tried watching the original on YouTube since this thread said it was better and it didn’t do much for me either. Maybe because they were doing impressions of people I’ve never heard of?

Amazon has a rom-com named “I Want You Back” with Charlie Day and it starts with two people getting dumped out of nowhere for being complacent in their relationship. Fun date night movie!

I know it’s for story reasons in Reacher but that amount of murders in one small town would not stay a small-town investigation. Especially when it’s most of the police force!

Tim Whatley posted:Winning Time, about the Lakers dynasty, on HBO is great. It's Adam McKay so it has a ton of fourth wall but the cast is so insane and they're having so much fun that it doesn't bother me. Can anyone explain why Jerry Buss was able to buy the Lakers with a check but cash would have been a deal-breaker?

Not sure if they're gonna stick the landing just yet, but I'm really digging it now. Not to tell you how to post but there is a severance thread with a lot of discussion.

We finished a rewatch of HIMYM. Had watched it when it was on but hadn’t seen the later seasons. Those are definitely a mixed bag. Barnie wasn’t great when it aired and the character has not aged well at all. Finale still terrible but the other episodes of the last season better than expected. Could have just stopped an episode earlier and everyone would love that season.

Teriyaki Hairpiece posted:The first of the month used to be a fun time, it used to be when Netflix would add a whole bunch of popular movies to their service. Now the First is as empty and hollow as an endlessly buffering reaplayer video from 2002 HBO still rotates their back catalog on the first of the month although the concept of “rotating the catalog” is itself pretty quaint. https://www.denofgeek.com/tv/hbo-max-new-releases-may-2022/

Like here is a sample of “new” May releases on HBO: 47 Ronin, 2013 Assassins, 2020 At Close Range, 1986 An Autumn Afternoon, 1962 The Big Sleep, 1946 Back To School, 1986 Bottle Rocket, 1996 I’d assume they are not actively licensing these movies each month but who knows.

It’s just bizarre to have a pay streaming service and also an ad supported one with different original content and no way to pay to get rid of the ads.

precision posted:Umbrella Academy s3 is starting off HECKIN strong. the first episode is basically better than all of S2 These two year gaps between seasons are tough. We watched the S2 recap and didn’t remember half of it. So now we either hope S3 makes sense anyway, or watch a longer YouTube recap, or rewatch some or all of S2.

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:I had literally just seen one of these articles this morning and was baffled on how she could ever be considered for any sort of award; she's fine on the show but not noteworthy in the slightest and mostly plays straight man to Martin and Short. So your explanation cleared a lot of stuff up for me - thanks! Also there are like a hundred good shows now, I don’t think the concept of snub holds up unless people are literally saying you had the best performance of the year.

Nihonniboku posted:The ILM docuseries on disney plus is good, but it's interesting how they spend the first several episodes slowly moving from 1977 to 1993, and then they only briefly discuss the Star Wars prequel series, and then suddenly jump forward to The Mandalorian in 2019. I guess they're just looking to avoid talking about how bad CG could be for a long time there. Yeah, I’m enjoying it. It’s a “serious documentary”, like the Imagineering one. First two episodes are basically about how the New Hope effects were made. Third episode is Empire Strikes Back and that’s all I’ve watched so far. It’s directed by Lawrence Kasdan which feels like an Easter egg.

Speaking of the ILM doc, almost finished… here’s what they cover in the other episodes. Episode 4: Return of the Jedi and the various other eighties movies they worked on, not in much depth. CGI starts showing up. Episode 5: Abyss and T2 and the tensions between the computer people and the model people. Episode 6: Jurassic Park and the death of traditional FX work. This is pretty sad and I didn’t finish it yet.

Apparently Amazon Prime has the rom-coms Marry Me and The Lost City now, which were Peacock / Paramount+ exclusives when they first came out. This new world is weird. Also, was pretty surprised that Marry Me is based on a graphic novel since I would have thought someone just wrote the script for J Lo.
