Gannan Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 I got a free year long subscription when I got a new work iPad. Mixed bag so far. The Tom Hanks movie "Greyhound" was awesome. "The Morning Show" not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20Safety_Hazards Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 I too got the one year free trial. Not much on there that I will keep the subscription when I’m done. However, I thought that The Banker, though a little long, was excellent. Highly recommend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokesdawg Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Wife and I were looking for a show to watch and ran across Tehran on Apple TV+. Most of it is with subtitles but after the first episode, you don't even really notice it. It is a great Israeli spy drama/action show regarding Iran's nuclear capabilities and what Mossad will do to keep Iran from developing the bomb. Really strong stuff and highly recommended. Some actors we have seen on American TV. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hputenis Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 The show "the Servant" by M Night Shamalamalamalamalamaman is actually pretty entertaining. I watched the first season last year, and the 2nd season just started I think. I would definitely recommend if you like his style. Think more "the Sixth Sense" and less "Lady in the Water." 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nipples Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 I’m liking The Servant. Also Ted Lasso was actually much more entertaining than I expected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gannan Posted March 5, 2021 Author Share Posted March 5, 2021 I really like the servant, it’s weird but compelling. First binge worthy show I’ve seen in months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Omega Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Servant - We really liked it. Thought season 2 was even better than season 1. They've done a really good job of humanizing the characters. Almost all of them started out truly unlikeable, especially Weasley, but have become hard not to like. And Dorothy is one of the more sympathetic characters in recent times. Bat ish crazy, but just heartbreaking. Can't wait for season 3. Ted Lasso - Really hard not to like it. Seems like a good-natured b00b, but he's no idiot. Becomes tough not to laugh at it the longer it goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Omega Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 I take it back. Ted Lasso is not hard not to like, it's hard not to love. Yeah, it could sometimes be funnier, and is definitely a bit paint by numbers, but it still works together really well, and plays the ole heartstrings like a fiddle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Omega Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Wolfwalkers - If you have girls, around 6 or 7 and up, I’d bet that they will absolutely love this. Mine did. Boys may enjoy it too, but the main protagonists are girls, so they may appreciate it even more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had some brutal stinkers over the years, but this one works. Toward the end of season 1, (big spoiler) in the flashback episode where ya see Dorothys actions the day Jericho died and when she closes up the trunk and walks into the house, that hit me like a ton of bricks. To keep it with MNS films, it felt like I just watched the alien walk past the alleyway for the first time in Signs. Except this time there was no alien/huge character/set piece you were looking for. It was just the action of locking up the car and walking inside, knowing the relevance of that and what was coming after. It was a holy crap moment, despite essentially nothing overly visual really happening. I just thought it was a really impressive and bold display of story-telling, considering the lead up all season and not knowing what was going to happen (/what did happen, I guess). Then just being like well, there it is. Damn. Bravo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Omega Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 For All Mankind - Just finished season 1. So many streaming shows seem to start out slow, and this one is no exception. Many times during the first 3 or 4 episodes I thought seriously about giving up on it. I am really glad I didn't, because this is not only the best show I've watched so far on Apple+ (and I've thoroughly enjoyed others), but it's one of the better shows that I've watched period. When I started, I was definitely not sold on the alternative history gimmick and, for a while, wanted so badly to pick the changes apart but, as the episodes went on, it became a lot easier to just accept this as a work of fiction that parallels what actually happened. And their fictional narrative is, at times, absolutely thrilling. A couple of their depictions of historical figures didn't sit well with me, but I'll get over it. And Sarah Jones is stunner who can rock a flight suit like few others. Can't wait to watch season 2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think my wife bailed as well. S1 is vintage/peak MNS. Season 2 (apparently there's going to be a season 3 too?? ) is the bad stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Omega Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Finally finished season 2 of For All Mankind, Spoiler (RIP Gordo and Tracy) . We like it. I was about 3 episodes into season 2, and my wife, who initially had no interest in it, walked into the room during a scene, and started asking questions about it. Eventually, I just restarted the 1st episode, and watched the whole thing again with her. Man does a lot happen during this show. Each episode is over an hour, and they just keep the story rolling the whole time. Good show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gannan Posted June 21, 2021 Author Share Posted June 21, 2021 Watched "Palmer" over the weekend. Justin Timberlake plays an ex con who moves back to his small Louisiana town after doing his time. He struggles to find work and reclaim his life but befriends and young boy with a drug addict mom and gender identity issues ***Trigger Warning**** I thought it was pretty good. The acting was really good and it was kind of a touching story. Kept my interest the whole way through and definitely worth a watch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gannan Posted June 22, 2021 Author Share Posted June 22, 2021 I've heard other people rave about Lasso. I watched 10 minutes of it and thought it was the dumbest premise for a show I'd ever seen. That includes "Small Wonder" which previously held that distinction . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
