Oh, thought it was Disney for some reason, still doesn`t change the fact I`m cheap
Is Hulu a good streaming service?Just finished Game of Thrones,not usually my kind of show,probably drawn in by the excessive nudity in the first 3 seasons,but iI got caught up and in the end I hated almost all of them,except for Jon,Arya and Thyreon. Now what?

You made it through the final season without being completely numbed out to the show? Anyway, you're in luck that HBO is debuting the Targaryan house prequel like next week.
I'll probably watch the first episode to give it a chance, but don't expect to be completely drawn in by it. I can't remember such a rapid swing from everyone being obsessed with a show and its whole surrounding lore to it being culturally irrelevant nearly overnight. That's how much people disliked season 8.

Started Seinfeld from the beginning last weekend.
I’ve made it up to the middle of Season 4.

Expound.

Bnhl, since Hf refuses to take my part of the multi-quote, let me say this: Richard Dormer did a great job playing a humble, self-sacrificing, idealistic, faithful hero, where there were only a couple to be found. He did sell off Gendry, but it turned out alright, just as he thought it might. Of couse, he did have to apologize for it later. lol
Note: in the books he is more half man half zombie, but that would have wasted Dormer's talent.

The Manti Teo documentary on Netflix was pretty good. I come out of it feeling bad for him and everything he went through, even though he was extremely naive and shoulders responsibility. The guy who catfished him is an absolute POS narcissist and definitely comes across as such in the documentary.
But the most interesting thing to learn from it was that the story wasn't supposed to be about Teo and his getting taken advantage of or any speculation on his sexuality, but deadspin was trying to demonstrate the shallowness of mainstream sports reporting by showing how ESPN, NBC Sports, and others went along with Teo's inspirational story without doing the ten minutes of research it takes to realize that his girlfriend has no presence anywhere and didn't exist. But the media took the story and made it into a spectacle about all the wrong things rather than being self reflective about their reporting practices.

If you're on the fence about The Rings of Power the second episode is much better than the first. The first does some things well, but it's overly intense without much of a respite.
Fortunately dwarves show up in the second episode and they make a huge difference.
Also, gonna plug the site: we're gonna have these first two eps (both dropping tonight) covered top to bottom at Nerdist. Also tons of great primers and explainers to read before you watch. Can find everything here.

Mountain Men season premiere tonight. Definitely my favorite non-comedy or drama ever on TV.
I know I’d never be able to do 1/10000th of the things these people do, but I certainly could live a much more simple/primitive lifestyle when I retire.

I thought Cobra Kai was supposed to come out for Labor Day weekend but apparently it doesn't come out until next Monday. Lame.

can`t say I have ever been a fan of Brendan Fraser movies in the past but really happy it appears he`s being recognized for what seems to be a great movie in The Whale

I'm not exaggerating when I say Cobra Kai Season 5 was the best TV I've seen all year. It's the best season of the show yet. And it's darker and more violent than before, this season felt like a mixture of pro wrestling and Game of Thrones. Binged it all over the weekend, can't wait for season 6.

I'm halfway through it. I hate myself for loving that show, but it's addictive.
