terapined Member since: Aug 6, 2014 Threads: 73 Posts: 11791 | Another great Chernobyl episode The horror of the fire fighters painful downward spiral to death due to intense radiation Just horrible. They spent a lot of time on the little known heroic coal miners tasked with building a tunnel underneath the reactor Total heroic bad asses I'll take a 100 Russian coal miners over a thousand unsullied any day I loved how officials know you cant BS coal miners. You have to be totally straight with these guys on the dangers Official "We start digging tomorrow" Coal miner "We start immediately.

We really should start threads for HBO recommendations (or pans) PRIME recommendations (or pans) so that readers don't get so confused. |

Or maybe change the name of the thread to Streaming recommendations (or pans) We don't really have a ton of readers compared to the WOV board After Chernobyl is over, thinking about checking out the premium youtube channel I've heard good stuff about the new Karate Kid series.

Youtube Premium is primarily an audio service with a handful of good series. I watched "Impulse" , American drama web television series based on the novel by Steven Gould. It was made in a feature film a while back which pretty much sucked, so the series was better. But series for young people are very heavy on the social justice stuff (#MeToo, etc.). |

The horror of Jared Harris playing a Russkie, how ridiculous. He's as English as it gets. The whole show sounds dumb if all the Russians have English accents. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25011 | Good Omens on Prime. A story about the end of times from the book of Revelations in the NT. The first 3 ep's are entertaining. Good acting, great productions values. The story starts to get just plain silly in the final 3. Rubbish by'the end, I couldn't wait for it to be done. There was a book, apparently and it followed the book accurately. So it gets good reviews, and some really really bad ones. Great production values and expensive animations do NOT make up for the utter banal stupidity that prevents one from suspending disbelief. It is asinine even by comic book standards . I'd give it ZERO stars if that was an option. One star is FAR too many. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25011 | So this is the old Netflix thread? Where were we informed of this. Netflix is making a Breaking Bad movie with Aaron Paul and some of the BB cast. All the interesting characters are dead, I can't imagine it will be any good. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Later this year or early next year. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
