The "did you know this streams on Netflix?" thread

[hostile]

Season 1 of Downton Abbey, for those of us who are trying to catch up after the buzz of the second season.

Halfway through season 1. Just picked up season 2 from Costco

Just finished Caprica.

I am a BSG nerd, and loved that show. I bought the Caprica DVD when it came out...a year before Caprica did on TV.

I watched all 19 episodes in about 3 days this last week. How in the hell did this show get cancelled after only two seasons? It was fantastic and fascinating all at the same time.

So many possibilities to be had.

At least they knew it was getting cancelled with 4 episodes to go...so they didn't leave too much out there. But so much was rushed and tossed in at the end.

All of the crap SyFy has on TV and that one didn't make it? SMH.

I loved loved loved Caprica, and I'm not a SciFi fan.

For those who have seen both, which is better, Caprica or Firefly?

I liked both for different reasons. I think Caprica did an excellent job of fleshing out its characters and creating good drama. I was really disappointed that it wasn't renewed. The writing is excellent and compelling. The show can be dark and even gory at times, in fact I couldn't even get through the first episode which is spent almost entirely in the virtual world, giving its inhabitants license to commit all sorts of atrocities.

Firefly was my first experience with the space western, which I found enjoyable. It too had good writing, but relied more on comedy and witty exchanges.

Danimal and I started watching the United States of Tara. Anyone else watch this?

[Katy Lied]

Watched To Live and Ride in LA. Featuring bicyclists that actually ride in LA traffic, dodging cars and switching lanes. They are nuts. I wonder what RF would think of them.

We have been watching a miniseries about the holocaust called Auschwitz: Inside the Nazi State. It is very well done and is compelling and of course disturbing. They have interviews with SS guards from the camps, etc. They had one guy on there who still hates jews and doesn't show much if any remorse.

Highlander, Highlander 3: The Final Dimension, Highlander: Endgame, and Highlander: The Animated Series.

The best part of this is Highlander 2 is no where to be found on Netflix. What an abomination that thing is.

I'll check it out and report.

My wife and I just finished watching this, I'm pissed now that it was canceled, the show is hilarious.

While not on Netflix, amazon prime streams the old movie "Explorers" with ethan hawke and rover phoenix. I watched it with my kids last night and it reminded me that a lot of the best movies starring kids were made in the 80s. Space camp. Goonies. Explorers. Ferris Bueller. 16 candles. To name a few.

I'll have to see if Russkies and the Last Starfighter are available.
