What are you watching on Netflix and Amazon Prime?

[Hawkeye]

I just saw this. How do you like Invasion? I watched one ep and about fell asleep.

Jury's out on Invasion. Many story lines. Gonna take severeal episodes to sort them out. I think I've only watched Season 1 Ep 1 and 2 so far.

Literally 50 years ago.

Does it follow what you remember?

Sorry but I have very little memory of it. But I have read people complaining on FB that has very little similarity to the books.

Dang. That was one of my favorite series of books.

Did you read the books?

I did.

There are A LOT of them.

John Wick 4 tonight

Just finished "The Pacific" miniseries for the 4th time. It was on HBO, but Netflix now has it.

It's the best thing TV has ever done.

Band of Brothers is back on there as well. Also, watch Ordinary Men. It’s based on the book of the same name about Nazi police murdering thousands of citizens.

Ordinary Men was very good. Very disturbing as well.

I'll also watch Band of Brothers again. It's an excellent show, just not in the same way as is The Pacific, imo. Maybe it's due to the Pacific's source material: Two books written by major (real-life) characters in the series: "Helmet for my Pillow", by Robert Leckie, and the excellent "With the Old Breed", by Eugene Sledge.

I'm really looking forward to the release of the next Hanks/Spielberg collaboration, "Masters of the Air", about the men in the USAAF 8th Air Force, based upon the book of the same name.

Probably because I saw the PBS Pacific, I was not impressed with the HBO version.

I was also a paratrooper (82nd not 100 and worst) I thought Band of Brothers was superior.

I once had a commander like Sobol, but most were more like Winters.

I've been watching The Blacklist. Some of the writing /dialog is brilliant.

I watched the first several seasons on broadcast. Tehn for soem reason it lost its allure to me.

To put it in perspective - I haven't been back to it yet.... Will try one oof these days.

There are definitely some low points but it ebbs and flows. I see that the series ended recently so there is an ending (with a little controversy.)

Not on Netflix anymore but I absolutely LOVED "Lost" many years ago. Also had a few low seasons some terrible episodes and some characters that I absolutely hated but overall I think it was brilliant. Unlike some, I actually liked the ending and think it answered all of the important questions.

Funny story, thought I had watched Lost when it came out but turns out the boys did but I was busy cooking cleaning and running a business, sat down to watch it and was amazed at what I had missed, really enjoyed it, got to just a few episodes left and Hulu clamped down on sharing subscriptions and I still haven’t watched the ending and I’m content with that, after all I’ve heard about it.

I find Suits very addictive right now, working my way through it.

It just never ended...we quit after about 6 season....gets old.

After Boston Legal, we couldn’t get into Spader’s character in Blacklist.

I don't know. Maybe because I found the first-person source material for The Pacific superior to Ambrose's book. But Band of Brothers is still the second best thing TV has ever done, imo.

Sunday Night Movie

Watched Stand By Me on Netflix. Great coming of age movie set in the 50’s. Fun too see young actors before they were famous.
