I heard it wasn’t that great so I never bothered watching it.

The books were great and I thought they would make a good set of movies but I think the show deviates from the novels.

I like a lot of them.

They may only be interested in particular roles or they may be typecast.

Paper Girls had a mediocre first season but a compelling story. It got better over time and I would have loved to see how it continued.

Disagree but the final season could have easily doubled as a series finale and was fantastic.

I’m ok with fewer new stuff.

I can’t keep up anyway.

I just don’t want to see a trend of reduced catalogue which is how I keep up.

I can see it both ways.

When someone dies people actually get nostalgic about their performances and seek them out.

When it’s old stuff it’s easier to find when the streamer helps.

Of course it’s to the streamer’s benefit, but I’m not disgusted by the practice.

As much as layoffs suck, this should be happening.

The redundancies are ridiculous now that streaming tends to merge previously disparate formats.

Marvelous Ms. Maivel

Game of Thrones

Hacks

Yay for Anna Torv.

Yeah but they got sharks in it.

To me it’s always been a balance between despair and hope.

There are always going to be brutal episodes because that world sucks, but it also has some fantastic episodes focusing on good things.

There’s an episode in season 2 about Canada that is amazing.

I think it’s pretty good.

It never dawned on me to stop watching

The one I watch the least of is NBC

I don’t have cable anymore so it’s hard to say what is worst passed the main networks for me.

Yes

Their strength is not the whole picture.

Fox brings a massive catalogue, merges the Marvel content, gains access to other IP’s, and is a bigger Oscar darling with Searchlight.

The downside is for consumers since the company is massive and controls a large portion of theatrical releases and two large streaming services hopelessly controlling and affecting pricing and demand.

The downside for them is that they have likely lost any opportunity for further expansion and acquisitions as they are so big as to be near monopolistic at this point.

So no Netflix, no WBD, no anything that comes around with government intervention.

They don’t replay it in Peacock?

I'd be ok with it, but it limits accolades and increases competition within a movie overall so it's likely not to happen.

Otherwise, this is a non-issue for me as my view of best performances don't often win.

In order of important:

Personal interest

Word of mouth from friends and family

Buzz

Critical reviews from sites I like

Things that don’t help me decide:

User reviews and ratings

Rotten tomatoes/Metacritic

You are presuming much.

I never once said I didn’t want the recap.

HOTD and Game of Thrones definitely had them as do most HBO shows.

They actually spoil the episode sometimes.

I wasn’t aware they got rid of it.

Maybe it’s a Netflix thing as I’m not on that too often.

Prank shows are unwatchable for me.

I think a lot of people don’t understand that cable is not the same thing as it was in the 20th century.

Any benefit you get from Hulu Live is available on cable systems now.

I don’t know if it’s cheaper anymore, but the access options are the same at least in my area.

To be clear, I don’t think either option is financially worth it unless you watch a lot of live tv or ESPN, but it seems like if people are paying prices high enough to sue over, it may be a good idea to at least research the alternative.

Right. I had it for a time but we just don’t watch a lot of live stuff anymore except sports.

It would cost us about the same price as all of our streaming services combined just to watch a football game every once in a while.

That’s the thing. You don’t need the box since the have the app.

We got a special deal with our internet provider for cable and we never even got a box. It was just live-streaming. We never really watched it so we cancelled.

However it sounds like the live-streaming prices are worth it.
