Is Chuck really that good or is one of those terrible shows the internet props up like Community?

 

[sol_bad]

I meant what do you use to circumvent the regional block. Netflix isn´t available "normally" on Australia, is it?

Ooohhhh
You can get an addon for both Chrome and Firefox called Media Hint, allows you to access Netflix and Hulu.

 

[KingGondo]

Well deserved for OITNB. I enjoyed that series more than House of Cards. Probably because everyone on HOC is a terrible person lol

Oh...and I just found out today that the actress that plays Red in OITNB was the female captain from Star Trek Voyager...i know lttp...but MIND BLOWN.

Also, the actor who plays Healy in OITNB played Steve Fields in Deadwood.

That absolutely blew my mind, since the appearance and behavior of the characters is so different.

It's an over the top completely unrealistic comedy with the premise of a Nerd Herd (Geek Squad) employee who is forced to become a spy due to a top secret computer program being imprinted into his head. He's assigned two Handlers (Yvonne Strahovski and Adam Baldwin) and they conduct various spy missions.

If that sounds like something you'd like, give it shot. If not, pass it by. It does have a very passionate fanbase though.

First season is good to great. Second season is damn near flawless, and the reason people are so passionate about the show. Seasons 3-5 are a big step down, but with enough lil gems here and there to still be fun, but nowhere near the quality of season 2.

The show is silly fun, and never takes itself too seriously, which is part of its charm.

 

[Serpentine]

Cool, now i can finally check that show out. Been interested for a bit.

Also cool that High Noon is back. I saw part of it but never finished it, and then it was taken down.

 

[Symphonia]

Coming Soon on Nov 1st:

Jack Frost
The Wild Thornberrys Movie
Charlotte's Web (2006)
Hey Arnold! The Movie
The Polar Express
Bebe's Kids
The Addams Family (1991)

And that's my little girls viewing sorted for November.

 

[teruterubozu]

It's definitely overdue. WTF.

I love Grindhouse movies.

Aziz Ansari's Netflix special comes out Nov 1st.

 

[RatskyWatsky]

There are a lot of films that I want to watch that expire on the 1st, but not enough time to watch them all before they expire. Is there any way to check if/when they'll be added back to the service?

 

[Maklershed]

Also, the actor who plays Healy in OITNB played Steve Fields in Deadwood.

Ron Swanson was in Deadwood too. I've watched every episode a billion times and never noticed. Just found out when he was on Conan a few weeks ago.

Love Aziz

I'm not sure but I highly doubt it. They don't usually announce when movies are going off the service because that stuff can change often on the fly or something like that

 

[GK86]

Yup, Serpentine is right. Best bet, look up and see if any of those movies are up in another region somewhere. And just focus on watching the ones that aren't available elsewhere.

I'm so glad I decided to wait on renting that one. I knew it would be on Netflix, just didn't know how soon.

Same here. I will watch it tonight. I enjoyed the first one even though some of the stories fell flat on their faces.

Yeah, but after that awesome first story, I could forgive them for a few creative lapses.

Frank & beans!

 

[Bl4ckSunsh1n3]

What region? I'm watching that tonight. The first one was pretty good.

 

[GK86]

Agreed. The first story had me hooked.

Good old USA.

 

[Snuggles]

I was psyched for VHS 2, but it was pretty disappointing. There were two decent acts, but the rest fell flat. Nothing comes close to touching the best stuff in VHS 1.

 

[GK86]

Just finished seasons four and five of House. So good. I hope they add the rest soon.

 

[backflip10019]

It's definitely overdue. WTF.

I thought this was supposed to come out the day of this season's premiere?

 

[Addnan]

Started watching Spartacus (Sweden). Very good so far, there sure is a lot of blood in this thing.

 

[TOM f'N CRUISE]

Full list a bit later, VHS 2 was added today.

so anybody know if the second one is any good??

 

[GK86]

Mixed bag. But if you liked the first, no reason not to give it a shot.

There have been a few more posters that posted reviews. Use the search tool because I forgot how far back it was.

Amazon Prime has the 1950 documentary version, which is amazing.
