I am trying to watch the Arrested Development remix. It's weird.

now that i think about it, no one has done a hipster hart to hart reboot have they? how has that not happened? It's like money just laying there on the sidewalk

i just thought of the same thing...

In September 2015, Deadline.com reported that NBC had made a script commitment to a Hart to Hart remake series featuring a gay male couple. Written by Christopher Fife and produced by Carol Mendelsohn and Julie Weitz, the new series is described as "a modern and sexy retelling of the classic series that focuses on by-the-book attorney Jonathan Hart and free-spirited investigator Dan Hartman, who must balance the two sides of their life: action-packed crime-solving in the midst of newly found domesticity."[4] A similar project had been announced more than a decade earlier in 2002, with Alan Cumming attached to star in a series being developed for ABC that was being touted as a "gay Hart to Hart". Titled Mr and Mr Nash, the planned series featured a gay couple, both interior designers, who "stumble upon a murder each week", but it ultimately never went into production.[5]

hm so what does Max become in the gay hart to hart? and what breed is freeway now?

max would be whoever wanted to play the melissa mccarthy part. freeway would be a pug.

NBC needs to put Rockford Files back on the air. Not a reboot, just old Rockford episodes in primetime.

hey mark - Happy was a single 4-issue miniseries that is available in one cheap book if you're really keen

(for mine, at the time it was the third-worst thing the writer had ever published, but I can imagine a Brian Taylor take on it being satisfying) (also NB USA, it is a SyFy show that is not on Netflix)

i have the hbo now with playstation vue so i haven't been netflixing much. watched all of the wire. watching boardwalk empire on my own. watching the leftovers with maria. will probably watch game of thrones with maria. tempted to do the sopranos again since i never saw the last season.

i did watch the new kevin james comedy special on netflix.

and cyrus is watching the 100 on netflix which does my heart good. i love that show. (i watched every season on netflix by myself and then again with maria. call me crazy...)

I really liked Happy. Chris Meloni was great.

i'm so bad at watching TV now. I still haven't finished Suburra: Blood On Rome. I was enjoying it, too. I think I was burned out on Italian crime after two seasons of Gomorrah and the Suburra film. Plus reading the Suburra book.

i have no problem watching an episode of something or five or a season and then just stopping. sometimes i just want a little of something. or i've had enough.

killing eve is the closest terriers analogue right now - it's p good!

xps Yeah, The Shadow Line was really good. There's a new Hugo Blick series coming to BBC2 later this year

it’s youtube red not netflix but the ryan hansen/samira wiley cop show was funny and good

I see Over the Garden Wall is up now (in the UK). I figure everyone's seen it by this point, but it's recommended if you haven't.

I liked Happy, even if the edginess was a bit embarrassing at times. Yeah, Meloni was great - good cast all round, really, Patrick Fischler awesome as always.

i always think meloni is elias koteas but part of me knows he isn't and it throws me into a loop

POLL: Elias Koteas vs. Christopher Meloni

x-post Yes Patrick Fischler was great. So evil and creepy.

how on earth could Koteas have won that poll?

Meloni is funny and charming and solid but Koteas is just a better actor.

oh man, read this, seems like the nicest guy in the world:

I'm sure Meloni's great too.

was put off of Koteas when I watched a documentary about the making of The Thin Red yin.

i like to check in here now & then to make sure you ppl are just watching 4000 TV series and not 'flix'

we appreciate your concern!!

happy to oblige

just saw a tweet yesterday that they have about eight pre-1970 non-documentaries in their fab collection

i did make the mistake of watching a movie on netflix recently. it was about a sad indian math genius and jeremy irons makes him come to england because he's in love with him but jeremy irons keeps forgetting to make sure that the math genius has anything to eat so the math genius starves and dies.

believe me, it will be NOTHING but t.v. shows on netflix for a very long time.

I watched the Rachel Dolezal doc while exercising. I didn't think it would happen, but I felt bad for her.

I felt bad for her, then I didn't

mostly felt bad for the kids

That much abuse will mess up anyone.

Amazon Prime has a slightly better selection of movies, incl some older ones but I mostly get my classic movies fix dvr’d on Turner Classics

don’t think it works outside the uk but the free bfi add on to prime is a+

it's not free!

or it's no longer free, that's for sure. it's £4.99 per month

ah. still v worthwhile imo.

(i don’t think it can ever have been free my bad)

I mostly get my classic movies fix dvr’d on Turner Classics

^ knows what's up

Filmstruck has a nice little selection of TCM movies

If anyone has any advice on how to deal with this problem in Canada, I would be very appreciative

Xps I watched the dolezal doc too and came away feeling about the same as you. There were points where I felt like she truly believes and experiences being “trans racial” but then hearing the anecdotes from her African American colleague about how she always had to one-up people when it came to experiencing racism - that was telling. In the end, I felt 50/50 on how sincere she was, but as a non-Black person I also don’t feel qualified to have a strong opinion on her sincerity. The kids definitely suffered the worst.

I am enjoying Santa Clarita Diet. I like that they are short episodes and that it got right to the grossness.

13 Reasons Why S2 was intense then

also pretty good, although i'm still not sold on Clay (actor or character)

Not watched that yet but looking forward to it despite the middling reviews
