Going into a Ridley Scott epic expecting historical accuracy is like watching Newsies the night before an American History exam as research.

For not including it. You're not forgiven for having not watched it. Rectify this.

Re: [Streaming] HBO Max
An old standby of mine is Band of Brothers. The Pacific is worth a watch and definitely watch Generation Kill which I watched again recently then reread the book.
And I don't know if it's on other streaming services but the cop show Southland ended up on HBO Max for some reason. I've heard of it but haven't watched it till now. It joins Bosch, The Wire and Homicide Life on the Streets as one of my favorite cop shows.

Re: [Streaming] HBO Max
Signed up for Hulu and HBO/MAX with it (Hulu w/ 65 channels, we're checking it out with the trial, considering dropping cable).
Can't find the new Wonder Woman 1984 under the HBO/MAX stuff though.
Anyone finding it yet?

Re: [Streaming] HBO Max
There was the group that tried to kidnap our Governor - presumably so we could join Trumplandia, but they failed so we're still US as far as I know.
And no, I didn't try HBO/MAX app, I picked the HBO/MAX in Hulu hubs - premium. See a bunch of HBO stuff there, but not WW1984. Guess I'll have to try something more direct.

Re: [Streaming] HBO Max
That was the problem. Have to go to HBO/MAX, the Hulu HBO/MAX hub is not the same thing apparently.
Inconvenient, I'll have to hook my PC up to the TV again, but not the end of the world.
Thanks for the assist peeps!

Looks like you have to use the HBO Max app, but select Hulu as your provider when signing in.

WW84 was so so bad. I'm super glad it was free. How that plot got approved I'll never understand.
Capitalism tries for a delicate balance: It attempts to work things out so that everyone gets just enough stuff to keep them from getting violent and trying to take other people’s stuff.

Re: [Streaming] HBO Max
I didn’t think it was horrible, but it definitely wasn’t great (in my opinion, of course). The main villain’s powers were confusing, for one thing. They seemed to make up the rules for what he could do as they went along.
Also
The first one felt timeless. This one won’t age well, I predict.

Re: [Streaming] HBO Max
We found how to watch WW1984, but haven't watched it yet. Hulu has Law & Order: SVU - we've been recording/watching the series off USA/ION, but we'd hit a few missed episodes. So we watched those 3-4 episodes and are fully caught up to the latest episodes we had watched (we're starting season 17).
After that, I looked on HBO/MAX a little to see what's there.
Young Justice Season3 - OH CRAP!!! I forgot this was a thing on the streaming stuff!!! Super-geeked!!! Love that show!

100% this. I'm all for suspension of disbelief (it's a comic book movie after all) but I think my wife summed it up best. "I don't understand why I just watched that movie".

Don’t forget to give Doom Patrol a watch. It was hands down my favorite show on DC Universe. It’s insane, bizarre, hilarious, creepy and heartbreaking throughout.

Re: [Streaming] HBO Max
I don’t really like Titans. It feels like they’re trying too hard to be adult, and forgetting to do it in a thoughtful manner. It’s the same reason I’m not a fan of most of the CW superhero shows, to be honest. And Titans feels like a CW show with an R rating.

What’s the consensus of Raised by Wolves? Watched the first episode yesterday and it was interesting enough, but seemed like it might have already resolved the most interesting conflict..

Re: [Streaming] HBO Max
Young Justice Season 3 was at least as good, if not better than season 2, which was probably the best cartoon show I recall ever watching. Absolutely loved it, wish they'd do another season.
We have been catching up on Star Trek: Discovery, likely to finish that today or tomorrow.
Probably not going to check out Doom Patrol or Teen Titans right now as we only have this for 7 days (either Thursday or Friday) and I want to do something while I'm on vaca besides binge watch TV. Like check out some of the new games I got for xmas! And maybe some family time or something. And probably some chores...

Re: [Streaming] HBO Max
You may hear some mixed reviews but I rather liked the world the writers built and the androids themselves, especially Father. Give it a watch and decide for yourself! It kind of goes off the rails later in the story but in a totally gonzo entertaining way for me.Ralph-Wiggum wrote: ↑Sat Dec 26, 2020 4:01 pm What’s the consensus of Raised by Wolves?

Re: [Streaming] HBO Max
Absolutely agree with Siljanus. He and I discussed the totally bonkers story as it played out after the premiere a few times, so you can go back and get some impressions there. But long story short: I wouldn’t call it great, but I would call it so bat shit insane and unexpected that I couldn’t stop watching it.
Edit: scratch that, it is happening. Season 4 is called Young Justice: Phantoms. But no premiere date yet set. Blame COVID, I imagine.
I’m pretty sure they’re planning another season. It was well received.

I’m liking Titans more than the run of the mill CW superhero shows with the exception of Black Lightning and Legends of Tomorrow which I love.

But we’re definitely on the same page in regards to Doom Patrol!

Re: [Streaming] HBO Max
Stargirl surprised me. I thought I would dislike it like I do most CW superhero shows, but it worked for me because it was essentially one long homage to DC silver age comics. Without that though, I can see how it’s just another CW show.
Doom Patrol is in the same category as Legion. Comic book shows that transcend the genre to become quality shows I’d put up against any quality television.
