What are you binge watching, and is it streaming or physical media?

Streaming is very convenient. I can see how streaming can be a parent's best friend at times :) Most of the on-demand stuff I watch of lesser renown that I don't care it's not high def is either DVDs I backed up to my computer (which is connected to my TV) for the convenience automatically playing it (stuff I owned...I don't pirate), or streaming. My blu rays are the best of the best, all time favorites of mine that I want to watch in as best a resolution I can (or can afford, lol!).

Ok, so, we've thought about doing that as well. What did you do with all the cases?

Liberal guilt made me pack them in a box to try to recycle them. It's time to chuck them.

 

We started watching Space Force last night. I love Steve Carell but I like him better in his self-aware roles. That said, John Malkovich is amazing and we enjoyed it.

In short, motherhood with a heavy dose of race. It's set in the 90s, super rich white perfect mom Reese Witherspoon condescendingly rents out to borderline transient artist mom Kerry Washington. There's a ton of meddling in each other's lives and in their kids lives. It's only eight episodes and it grew with each one. The first one or two I could've taken or left it, but we kept going and man, it got good. The final episode is great.

 

I don't normally like recommending things since I know everyone's tastes vary and sometimes the only reason you don't want to watch something is because, well, you just don't want to. I prefer to just give my opinion on the thing and let the people go with it as they want. As I said, though, this is only eight episodes and sometimes it's really hard to find **** to watch even with all the options we have, so give it a shot if you got nothing else.

So I've decided to take a crack at rewatching things I couldn't finish before. I started with Glee...and I'm glad that's over. Now I'm on to The Vampire Diaries (and I'll probably switch to The Originals afterward and MAYBE check out the new one). I'm in season 5 and omg...this season drags.

So, I have legit insomnia. Most nights, I get 4-5 hours sleep, but sometimes less. One night I was up earlier this week, I took inventory of my movie disc collection, which I am also working my way through watching or rewatching. Some cases, I have blu rays I bought to upgrade from the DVD version, but never got around to watch on BR. So, here is what I have on disc (some being movie collections and TV series collections). I have more in the form of digital format, far more, but I will limit it to my disc collection here, because my PCs have too much to list.

We just got through the first 2 seasons of Jack Ryan on Amazon Prime Video. I've read most of the novels so I could see homages everywhere but its a modern take versus the Cold War era. Pretty good even if I think Jack is a bigger badass than he was in the novels. In season 2 he's not even a reluctant hero, he's practically chomping to be on the front lines.

I really enjoy the Jack Ryan Amazon show. John K is so good.

I just rewatched all of Dexter. Hadn’t watched it since the shittiest series finale ever aired back in 2013. Seasons 1-4 are still the best you’ll ever find any show, while seasons 5-8 are very up and down. Really looking forward to the limited series in 2021.

Right now I’m watching His Dark Materials Season 2 on HBO Max. This is probably my favorite show going on atm.

 

When I just wanna watch something familiar, like when I go to bed, it’s always The Office or South Park. Also enjoy revisiting Frasier once in a while.

I never really liked His Dark Materials, even the books...but I want to...do you recommend it?

I liked Season 1 of Jack Ryan...S2 became a bit meh.

Oddly I never could get into the books, either. But for whatever reason, I really enjoy HBO’s adaptation of it. It takes an episode or two to really get going. I only started to watch it because my son saw the preview of it on a YouTube ad and fell in love with the talking polar bear. So it was something we watched together and very much enjoyed.
