New TV Series to watch

[Urban]

Trust me, it's a good thing you won't be able to watch Westworld anymore. One of the most disappointing shows of all time to me after a tremendous first season.

won't be able to watch the first season again anymore either.

It will most likely end up on a free streaming channel or service in the near future..

Free, Ad-Supported Television Is Catching On FAST: Boosters Hail It As Second Coming Of Cable, But Just How Big Is Its Upside?

When Warner Bros Discovery CEO David Zaslav recently talked up FAST channels, calling them “a unique opportunity to increase our addressable market” (and possibly create a new home for HBO shows li…

Also if it ends up being on a WB/discovery free service it might end up being integrated back into HBO max/discovery plus like how freevee shows are on a tab on Amazon prime.

I could even see early seasons of tv shows end up on free or other TV service in the future. Yellowstone might end up a model for some TV shows going forward. Current season on one streaming service but past seasons on another. It allows them to double drip with revenue from the show while also having another avenue to hook people on a show then get them to subscribe to see the current season.

White Lotus S2 was great. Thought the roles were cast perfectly. Finale left a little bit to be desired, but wasn't a total disappointment.

I just finished S1 last night, hilarious ending, will start S2 this week.

I mean, you can watch pretty much whatever you want if you know where to look. I have the first three seasons of Westworld on my Plex server, along with over a hundred other series and over 600 movies.

Did someone say Plex?

Wednesday was quite a bit better than I expected. Two thumbs up for sure.

If I'm being honest, there just aren't that many movies I actually want to watch. It's excessive. There might be 400 good movies, but there aren't damn near 2000 good movies. Hell, a good third of the movies I've got on my server aren't what I would call good. Just entertaining.

I prefer to pay the people who provide the content so they keep making it. Things like this make me question being so strict with that.

Other thing that drives me nuts is PPV when you have to choose between rent or buy before you watch something the first time if it's good enough to watch enough times to make buying it worth it.

Sometimes we buy and wish we'd just rented because there's no way we'd watch it again, other times we rent and wish we'd bought it.

I prefer to not have to pay for eight different services to get all the content I want. They've spread the content too thin to the point where there's not really any one service that provides a proper value.

I pay for Prime, but mostly because of the free shipping. HBO is about the only other service that's actually worth the money at this point.

We subscribe to:

Prime because of shipping - don't watch much on it, anything is a bonus
Apple TV+ because part of Apple One, but also has some great original content
Disney+ - great content from Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar
Netflix
HBO Max
Showtime & Paramount+ bundle
Starz - sometimes movies I would otherwise pay for are on here, not sure if it's enough to be worth the $8.99.

And still end up paying to watch movies from time to time, but never to watch series.

You're right.

But they're so tiny... I can just add them all. They don't matter l. TV matters a little, then like 80% of my storage is every classic video game ever made. No 360 or newer on Xbox. No ps4 or newer on Playstation. But everything else I have.

Started watching the Recruit on Netflix. I’m 2 episodes in on the 8 episode first season, and I got say I love it so far. It’s reminds me of a late 90’s, early 00’s light-hearted dramas with a serious undertone, like Burn Notice. In fact, it seems like the show runners may have been seriously influenced by Burn Notice, and that’s not a bad thing. Though there’s similar elements, this show stands completely on its own.

It’s about a lawyer that is extremely new to the CIA. Not sure how realistic the depiction of the CIA is, as it makes a lot of the agents look like selfish bunglers that only care about their own asses, but I’d be willing to bet there is some truth to the exaggerated depiction if that isn’t the case. The actor cast as the lead is absolutely perfect for the role, and is definitely what drives this show, but quite a few of the secondary characters also stand out.

My first wife worked for the CIA. Smart as hell, but blind as a bat without some strong-ass glasses. They had her doing photo-analysis.

No shit.

So maybe the show isn’t too hyperbolic, lol.
