I'm interested in starting some new Netflix shows. Prison Break, The Iron Fist, and Ozark. Has anyone seen any of these? Comments appreciated.
The only one of those that I've seen is Iron Fist. It was like a kids' show--not nearly as 'gritty' as Daredevil, Luke Cage, and Jessica Jones. My 11 year old loved it. I was 'meh'.

I've not heard anything about Ozark--what is that one about?

We ended up getting HBO for the next 2 months through Hulu (The Man couldn't stand having to wait for his Game of Thrones fix--lol), so I'm going to be hoovering up as many of those shows as I can until GoT is over. I own the first season of The Wire, and loved it, so now I can see the rest of the story! If I have time before we cancel, I want to take a look at Westworld, too.

That's great! Kick back and enjoy. Let us know how you like everything.

Have mercy, Clue is excellent! I think I'm enjoying it more that I did when it first came out.

Thanks. Ozark is about a man who moves his family from Chicago to the Missouri Ozarks and has to scramble to find money to pay the Mexican drug lord that he owes. It sounds like Breaking Bad, so I'm hoping it isn't trying to cash in on that show. I don't know much more about it but I do know it premieres on Netflix on the 21st.

The movie came first. Joss Whedon was the writer, but apparently hated what the studio did with his script so much that he did it as a TV series, the way he wanted it to be. The first season is okay, but it really picked up steam in the second-5th, the sixth sucked for the most part, and then Whedon wrapped it up nicely in the 7th season.

Thank you!

And of course y'all probably know by now where my posting name comes from ...... epi "What's My Line?" pt. 1 I believe wherein Oz, ever the existentialist slacker, teases his girlfriend Willow by saying if he has an ambition its Ebdim9th, coz its a finger-twister, he calls it a man's chord. Of course, in keeping with his personlaity and sense of humor, it may or may not even exist, but that's part of the moment's charm....

I'm watching an episode of PBS Antique Roadshow. Never seen it before but I know of it. This episode seems to be a look back or update. For example, a Chinese paint set that was valued at $130 in 2002 is now valued at less than $100. I'm going to keep watching this. :smile2:

I watched the first episode of the first season of American Horror Story. I've never seen this show and went into it knowing nothing. The first episode was spellbinding, funny, and some very effective jump scares. I'm involved all ready and anticipating the others.
Really enjoyed the first three seasons. I think Coven (Season 3) is my favorite. But Asylum (Seas. 2) was freaky as h*ll!! I quit watching somewhere in the middle of Season 4.

I wish I could relive watching AHS season one. I LOVED it. I think I watched a few episodes of Asylum but then stopped because it was

too sexual/kinky/smdb

=D

I, too, liked Coven! I binge watched Freak Show and it was cool.

Hotel turned me off :a11: and I didn't try Roanoke :laugh:.

Loved the first season, was revolted by the second and didn't finish it, the third was okay, the fourth was boring, as was the fifth (didn't finish that one , either) and then I was done :) I'd say I gave it a fair shake.
