Streaming! If downloading is like buying a sack of potatoes, streaming is like a person handing you a series of potatoes! So, that is why we stream much of our media these days. TV, movies, etc. But this thread is just for TV and movies. No anime either.

Use this thread to talk about what to watch!
I will recommend watching
Patriot on Amazon. I have not seen it but I have heard it is amazing.
Cool streaming sites include the big ones, like Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, HBO, and so on, but also some smaller ones you might be interested in:
TubiTV, which is free and ad-supported and which has lots of good stuff.
FilmStruck, which has many amazing Criterion collection films - classics!
byNWR, a streaming service run by Nicholas Winding Refn...? Not yet launched.

Which every third episode it so has been "presented by Museum of the Bible. "
Well, they DO talk about God a lot in that show... all publicity is good publicity?
The Tick himself and Arthur I think are both really solidly done and I'm liking the world they are building so far. Not as outright absurd as the cartoon but that makes the Tick himself only the more amusing.
The show feels cheap as fuck though, holy crap. At least they fixed the Tick's costume between the pilot and the series though.
But I mean the show specifically takes the time to point out and talk about the limitations of their research and why it's still worthwhile despite that?
So what they end up finding isn't really any kind of magical replacement for good old fashioned gumshoe police work, but theories that do help them in their interrogations of suspects. Even then, like in the tree cutting case, the older agent points out that it's hardly a new trick to put the murder weapon in front of the murderer, but because of their research they were able to have a good idea of what sorts of strategies he'd be vulnerable to, and which wouldn't. If they hadn't gotten the confession their likely never would've been a conviction, even though everyone involved is sure he did it they couldn't have ironclad proven it.

Ending spoilers
I see the Netflix model of "Here's the Matrix 2 & 3, but not 1." is catching on elsewhere.

Generally if you're not gonna be interested in them interviewing creepy as fuck serial killers, you're probably not gonna like it.
There's some pretty decent murder cases mixed into the season too, but it's all pretty dark. It's good, and it's a smart show that avoids a lot of typical profiler story pratfalls, but it ain't exactly light watching.
slightly nsfw language but just generally nsfw based on being creepy as fuck

Matrix 1 is on Netflix.
Not in Canada it isn't. Just Reloaded & Revolutions.

and I'm not sure how much they can get out of that setup for season 2 since, spoiler warning, he wasn't arrested until 2005. Although I never watched Zodiac so maybe I'm wrong about the amount of material you can get out of frustration.
It's going to be a series
This would be a more interesting way to handle it. As coinage said they might not be able to keep the tension if it focuses on BTK as a central point considering the span they are planning for the series. It could be tiring fast.

NOPE
But the plot looks stupid and the comedy is so completely "miss" in that trailer.
How do you screw that kind of IP up?
I'll watch it because it's gonna be on Netflix but it doesn't look like something I would pay to see. If they just did End of Watch or Street Kings, only with D&D stuff, that would get my attention more.
More like a Definitely Not DnD Modern.
A Shadowrun riff without advanced cybernetics isn't a Shadowrun riff.
Scrubs is that show for me.
Speaking of old shows, Hulu autoplayed me into Happy Endings. That show is so funny with a great cast. So dumb they cancelled it after only 3 seasons. I was mad then and I'm mad all over again after being reminded how great it was.
I rotate between It's Always Sunny, Parks & Rec, and The Office. Though, I have to skip to season 3 of The Office because Jim and Pam not together stresses me out more instead of making me feel better.
I was rather surprised when my Dad started enthusing to me about it... and then my Mum kicked in and said she really enjoyed it as well. I'd never have pegged it as the sort of film she'd go for. I really must get around to seeing it.
But I could see Parks & Rec doing the job too.
It was pretty good here as well. You're right about the Tucker and Dale thing as I laughed a lot at that one. Did you watch the after credits scene?
Marvel movies have caused me to fast-forward through the credits of every movie now. I like what it's implying and hope they make another one!
Seinfeld
Simpsons 2-10
King of the Hill
I'd be happy with any of those in perpetuity. Saved By the Bell 2-5 is practically perfect but has a limited run that, like Peep Show, would throw me off after a while, and while Cosby Show used to be a top show for me obvious revelations make that show hard to watch again.
