Currently watching..... on the TV

Post by **Κracus** » Thu May 02, 2019 10:47 am

I'm currently watching Orphan Black. I've come to realize I like brunettes more than blonds.

I really enjoyed Orphan Black. Yes, it's a little soapy, but the incredible performances by Tatiana Maslany are fantastic. Each character is unique and distinct. It's a real tour de force.

Re Topic: : Currently watching.....

I was checking out PC cases thanks to the video from SoM a couple of posts above when I stumbled on this video about new SSD technology when I saw this case. I have been trying to identify so please help me out here with the brand/make/model

It's from the Netflix series "Love, Death + Robots". It's pretty decent

Love, Death + Robots is fucking amazing. I especially liked the episode with the 3 robots traveling the apocalyptic future. Had me in stitches.

I just started watching this TV show about this family whose kid was pushed out of a tower and got crippled and his father goes to work for the king and has to leave home but it turns out it's not kosher and he finds out the king's kids aren's his but his wife's brother's and it all turns sour. Oh and there's also this blonde girl who married this bulky dude and got giant eggs as a wedding present. Kinda weird all so I don't think I'm gonna continue with the second season. Probably gonna get cancelled halfway through anyway.

It's worth watching... gets better as time goes on. Probably a good idea to stop around season 7 lol.

Re: Currently watching.....

A TV series only 3 episodes in called Timeless.

Hmm, reading the Wiki, I could be watching season 2 as there's a SONY Pictures in the intro... Nah, checked, I am watching season 1, just viewed Ep3.

I love sci-fi and all those time travel paradox problems adding twists to story-lines. This is interesting enough but has left me a little cold. Guess I'll wait an episode or 2 more before deciding to leave on the cutting room floor.

That turned out better than I expected and I didn't expect much. Right from the start the lead actress put me off as unbelievable but she sorta grows into her role better as the seasons progress I guess.

A really good find SoM, that Early Motorcycle Manufacture - The Rover Imperial (*silent movie)

Agreed, that sucked me in!

Yes, Timeless mentioned a few posts up is getting better so I will stick with it a while longer.

Re: Currently watching.....Chimerica

This one is one to watch if you get the chance. Very interesting to the 4th and final episode

A photojournalist travels to China with the hopes of finding out who the mysterious man was who was photographed standing defiantly in front of a tank in Tiananmen Square twenty years ago

IMBD

Current Guardian.com news item FYI

Google Images result for ‘Tank Man’

Aka, watching people die of horrific burns: the series

I just went back and watched the first two seasons of Westworld. Felt like the second season was basically the second season of Prison Break... everyone gets a back story and none of the back stories really matter, except you're never sure what the arc really is so maybe they all matter.

Post by **Whiskey 7** » Wed Jun 05, 2019 10:56 pm

What only 5 episodes of Chernobyl? Anyway, with the mention of the Chernobyl mini-series I watched The China Syndrome (1979) yesterday as a prelude.

I will say, if you haven't seen The China Syndrome you should

Made in '79 it still gives me goosebumps in some scenes.
