DVR. I never watch shows like that real-time. Fast-forwarding through the commercials is well worth it.

I liked Bloodline on Netflix, it has some issues, though. Ditto Narcos.

On Amazon, I just finished "Sneaky Pete". It was decent the ending of the first season was contrived. Also on Amazon, "Goliath" is worthwhile.

I've got a lot of time on planes this week so I think I'm going to give Bloodline another shot. I like what I've seen so far with Narcos.

Narcos was good. It kinda makes you have so sympathy for Escobar, which is kind of funny.m

The issue with Bloodline is that they too often do things 180 degress opposite of what you would expect anyone other than a dumbass would do. The story has interesting characters and it's shot in a beautiful area of the country, but it could have been much better. It's still good for some "waiting on a plane/in air" viewing.

I finished the first season of Narcos. Makes me wanna go down there with a shovel and start digging around in their old back yards

It made me want to do blow.

The money would be disintegrated by now.

Loved Bloodline

I watched it all and likes it. It pissed me off when they did unbelievable shit, though.

My money was disintegrated a long time ago from doing blow.

So when this "Hunted" show was pitched, they just said "Uh we're gonna make the Running Man show from that book, except we won't murder them...yet." Right?

A little more about King Louis XIV than anyone ever wanted to know

Having a rough day? Watching an endless stream on YouTube videos might just be the pick-me up you needed.

Astronaut.io is a website that provides a virtually endless stream of random YouTube videos from around the world. But rather than a simple sequential mashup, the stream looks specifically for videos that exist on the border between mundane and interesting.
“The most awesome stage”

As Wired points out, and algorithm searches for videos that have been uploaded within the past week, have zero views, and use generic file names. The criteria yields a collection of videos people thought memorable enough to store on YouTube, but not so important as to be given a name.

The videos framed against a background video of the International Space Station orbiting Earth, and switch every few seconds (though you can lock onto a video or click through to watch the full thing). That, along with the casual nature of the content, aims to help you feel a little more in tune with the rest humanity:

its more entertaining than you would initially think

I doubt it.

It wouldn't take much to be more interesting than I think.

tough crowd for a Tuesday

I'm trying to corner the market on boring, stop competing!

I like the constant loop of the earth flying by under the satellite...

Now I'm watching a live feed of the surface of the sun. That thing looks hot...

I wish you would find out

Anybody seen Split? - I enjoyed it - good popcorn movie.


Also liked Patriots Day and Live by Night.

Not a big fan of LaLa Land - it was OK but dont get why it dominated the Oscar nominations.

Popcorn movie. Heh. You don't even let the kernels pop before you dig in.
