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

The Lowdown (an FX show on Hulu) is really good so far (I'm two episodes in). Ethan Hawke is the main character and plays an independent journalist investigating a politically prominent family in Oklahoma. It's better than that makes it sound. Definitely recommend it for anyone that likes the gritty crime drama genre.

I have recently picked up this series and just finished the fourth episode. This show is a cousin to Fargo and other FX quirky crime dramedies. There are Coen Brothers Easter eggs all over the place. Plus there is a precocious 13 year-old girl involved (aka True Grit).

i am surprised to hear the IMDB ratings are low. I believe it had Emmy nominations.

I’m kinda bummed the Bachelorette got cancelled. Makes sense though why they did, but also they knew about the DV when the selected her.

Saw that. They are going to need some pitch correction software.

MomTok and Secret Lives or Mormon Wives blowing up right now. The fun right now has former BYU QB, Brett Engeman front and center.

We finally know what fruity pebbles are

I’m episode 9 of the newest season, one of the soft swinging ladies is wearing a shirt made by my daughter. She’s really excited about it.

I love that genre. Looks intriguing.

I wonder why it only has a 6.9 on IMDB? Hmm...

Racial politics plays a role, so I imagine that has some people (stupidly IMO) polarized.

If you havent seen paradise on Hulu, it just had one of the most intense TV episodes I've ever seen


Political thriller

[Jeff Lebowski]

Agreed; we both enjoyed it a lot. The title is clever and apt. After it was over, my wife said she thought Culkin was excellent and maybe she should watch Succession. I told her he's great in that as well, although he's over-the-top crude, including whacking off in front a large picture window. She'll pass.

Back to A Real Pain, it was fascinating to watch both characters deal with the range of emotions that arise from visiting a concentration camp and home of one's ancestors. Our recent visit to Auschwitz was one of the most emotional experiences of our lives, perhaps even moreso than the American Cemetery at Normandy. As we stood by ourselves beneath the "Arbeit Macht Frei" arch at the camp's entrance,.I told the missus we should have a picture taken of us jumping and kicking our legs up, with outstretched arms, as so many do (very tritely) in front of famous places. I thought it was obvious I was more than a little facetious, but she was not amused. Still, an example of the huge range of thoughts one has in such a tragic place, and which the film's characters were working through.

Jesse Eisenberg wrote and directed the movie and his orginal plan was for him to play the Benji character himself. Then he spent some time with Kieran and decided he would be perfect for the role. Ended up being a brilliant decision as Kieran hit it out of the park and Jesse was equally good as the uptight OCD cousin.

The cinematography was equally good. I want to go to Poland now.

Just watched "A Real Pain" on Hulu. We both loved it. A beautiful character-driven movie. Kieran Culkin was amazing.

My buddy recommended the Mr. InBetween series which is on Hulu. I just finished it. It was fantastic. IMDB = 8.7. Can't recommend it enough. It is about a guy in Australia who hires out to the local mobs.
