The Night Of - HBO

2 episodes in, really good. One of the writers is from The Wire.


Stranger Things - Netflix

3 episodes in, also really good. Creepy, kind of a 1980s throwback.

Stranger Things was awesome and already renewed for a 2nd season.

Has there been a Netflix original show that didn't get a second season? I've read multiple times that they pretty much just give two season contracts from the start.

Nope, ask me in 5-6 years if it is good. Just finished season 5 of Game of Thrones tonight. Bluray with Atmos.....
Damn it is awesome. My quandary is do I buy season 6 on Amazon Instant or wait until November for the bluray set?????????? Decisions. I think I'll buy one episode and see if the quality is close.

What is this new show about?
 
Ive watched the last 2 minutes of the last two weeks episodes waiting until its over so ballers starts.

Not really. I negotiate it into my comcast deals. Comcast usually just gives it to me when i use frontier against them.

I think I read that from you before. Smart if you are gonna keep pay tv. We cut the cord 2 years ago and the 3 grand we've saved makes me feel ok buying a few seasons of really good shows every now and then.

Kudos to you. They basically give me cable and hbo. Internet would have been $60/month and frontier false advertises and wants to charge $60/month even though they send me $35/month flyers every month.

So for an extra $20/month not including the $10/month in taxes, they gave me cable with hbo price locked for 2 years. Couldnt resist.

That's not bad. We have cox for internet, I hate cable for tv so we had Dish or Direct for years. We kept the internet and have Netflix and had Amazon prime before I even knew it had free tv stuff.

I like me some Ray Donovan, Roadies and the new Match Game isn't as good as the original, but still good.

Yeah I was hoping Ron White would host it
 
Stranger things was interesting. I'll be interested to hear what you think when you are done with it.

Spoilers below.
My take is that when she was going into the darkness she was going into her mind and so she in a sense created the monster or something. That's why she said "I am the monster". Was the opening of the rift what they wee trying to do all along? Or did the agency not want that either...

Is she still out there, the scene at the end leads you to believe it's possible.

I really enjoyed Stranger Things. Just had that old school cool vibe to it. And I think you're correct about your spoiler.
 
I'm currently watching the Netflix series Last Chance U..... ridiculously good. Well produced and directed. These real life series sometimes go over the top and film too much but this show does none of that. They obviously spent a lot of time in the editing room. Great stories and characters..... Damn, you just want to hug some of these kids.... they've been through the ringer.

I cut the cord with Comcast a couple of years ago. Now I have a Roku and susbscribe to Netflix for $9/month and HBONow for $15/month (plus Amazon Prime by default since I paid for that for free shipping and whatnot.) During basketball season I can sign up for Playstation Vue for $35 month and get Blazers games (My ISP is Stephouse and I get 100 mbps for $59/month).

So all in all, probably not a lot cheaper than a Comcast bundle during the winter months, but the rest of the year it pays off. Best of all I don't have to fly into a blind rage any more, like I would whenever I needed to deal with Comcast's goddamned customer service reps.
