OT: The Movie/TV/Streaming Thread

  • Xenforo Cloud is doing server maintenance Thurdsay 13th at 9 AM GMT. Downtime is to be expected during the process. Server changes were implemented recently to cope with the traffic surge last week. This seems to be affecting the user login, so please anyone experiencing this, log out and clear the browser cache. We expect to have this issue solved once the maintenance is complete.
  • We are currently aware of "log in/security error" issues that are affecting some users. We apologize and ask for your patience as we try to get these issues fixed.


I've ragged on this show, and rightfully so. But on a re-watch, some (not all!) of the things that bothered me have faded. There were still flaws, and I'm sure there will be things I'm not crazy about, but I'm actually excited for this. They are going to cover my favorite passage of chapters I've ever read in any book, and I'm actually optimistic they will pull it off.

Welcome to the correct side. The show is fine. There’s a hell of a gap between great and what angry nerds think anything less actually is.

So, Severance... Worth it? Not worth it?
Worth it. I like it a lot although I don't think it's the greatest thing since sliced bread (like a lot of people seem to think).

To me it has a bit of a LOST vibe going, so if you liked LOST good chance you'll like Severance.

I haven’t read the books and have not watched the show, but the snippets I’ve seen the show looks like they received a massive budget that was promptly stolen and gambled away.
 
I have. The books are also fine.
Ah. For some reason I thought you hadn't. The books certainly have their flaws as well, but it's still my favorite series.

To be fair, they had to deal with things outside of their control that obviously had an effect on the first two seasons. I also think it's criminal that Rings of Power gets a ridiculous budget compared to WOT, which would benefit so much from a couple extra episodes.

Both shows looks like they spent a lot of money to make the costumes look as cheap as possible.
 
Yeah, I should have said it wasn't on any service to stream for free. I checked Amazon and they have blu rays, but they're all somehow $50 used.

Or...OR...you can get a free Plex account, shoot me your email address, and have access to it (and many, many other movies) for free:
