We jump in and out of Netflix and Hulu. Interested in seeing A Man in Full and liked Ripley. Also liked Lincoln Lawyer. Those are the most recents shows that come to mind. Wife likes Outlander and some other shows but not my kind of thing. Might check out Baby Reindeer. I like their older network/cable TV show library but generally don't think it is worth the price (to us) to maintain a continuous subscription.

I find Apple's Sci-Fi very sterile, Invasion was absolutely terrible. There's a look and a feel to Apple's stuff that is very cold and feels AI generated. Ted Lasso started great but by episode 5 it was effectively over, the story line was clear and we bailed. Too many shows in general start OK but fade quickly which is why I much prefer movies.

Also I feel like the amount of shows they have to produce today is insane compared to back in the day. Plus the production quality is so much higher than the sitcoms of the past. There were some high production shows starting around the 2000s like Band of Brothers but I think shows like GOT and Breaking Bad took TV shows to another level. Now with streaming every service wants to have their own must see show and with binge watching (thanks Netflix!) we are going through shows like crazy. |

Which on eis that? I kinda like them too but many go one for way, way too fucking long. Don't Fuck With Cats was excellent though, as was the one where that POS killed his mrs and kids and dumped them in an oil silo.

We watched A Man in Full (6 episodes) on Netflix. I would characterize it as highly disappointing. Got off to a slow start and got moderately interesting by episodes 4 and 5 before concluding poorly. I was expecting a lot more from this series.

OK watched episode 2 and 3 of Fallout, better than I expected. Now to clarify, the main protagonsist, the ghoul, he is our cowboy friend from episode 1 who died in the war but then was dug up by some randoms and suddenly came to life for reasons unknown correct?

Hmmm, that's what it turned out to be? Sounds interesting but how did you manage to slog through the first 2 episodes? I'm debating whether to give this another try (3rd attempt haha).

It's quirky but the story comes together and it keep a good pace. Things shift a bit too so you need to pay attention, there are subtleties that surprise me.

For all the subscription on the stick, I pay $free.99.
Now, for cable, with all the freaking (some non-functional) TV boxes, sports, and no movies it runs ~$250/month.

Hassle. My streaming services cost me what, 40ish a month, honestly not worth the grief of free.

I'm with you, dropped "cable" about 6 years ago. I have a few streaming services, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Apple & Paramount. Maybe $50 a month and no commercials, pause when I want I just can't ever see having cable again.
