OT: Movies/TV Shows

On Apple+
Joel Kinneman is the most notable actor, but it's definitely an ensemble cast.

Takes place in an alternate reality where the Russians beat the US to the moon, which leads to a significantly different world in a lot of ways... like different presidents and technologies.

Some top notch tension building.

Gonna check that out.

Thanks.

They do like a 3 month free trail.

Yeah, I've been wanting to watch Man In the High Castle. Might watch it when we're finished with this.

Gonna check this one out too.

I'm enjoying season 2.

Yeah, as far as I can recall I did too.

It was really in season 3 that my interest started waning, and then I gave up one or two episodes into season 4.

Good on you for making it through Season 3! I gave up on it with like 3 episodes left.

The IMDB ratings seem to hold fairly steady each season. Some ups and downs but always between 7.4 and 9.

 

[Habsy]

okay, I have heard of that, sounds interesting. Don't have Apple right now but I will try to watch it when I can. Alternate history plot reminds me of The Man in the High Castle, which is an amazing show if you haven't seen it.

Seen both. I liked Man in the High Castle better but For All Mankind is good but slow plotted.

 

[Habsy]

Silo is good

 

[Habsy]

If you missed it, 3 body problem is excellent.

 

[Habsy]

Also enjoyed Dune Prophecy.

 

[LeafGm]

If you missed it, 3 body problem is excellent.

Just finishing up the third book in that series. Looking forward to checking out the show once I’m done.

If you missed it, 3 body problem is excellent.

Another one where I'm dragging my heels on watching the show, wondering if I should read the books first instead.

But I may just move it to the top of the watch list.

 

[Habsy]

Books are always better

 

[Habsy]

And if you just want a good Sci FI series watch The Expanse

 

[zeke]

good toronto scenes in that one

 

[worm]

Loved the first season or two of For All Mankind, but after that the story really started getting bogged down with soap operary interpersonal drama.

Agreed

 

[Habsy]

From is also a Mindfuck

 

[Habspatrol]

Three Body Problem was really good. Dark Matter is another great one that we watched around the time we watched TBP.

Matlock is great

Kathy Bates is a fox.

Grrrr
