Lots of nudity.

"One of the reviews stated that the main character's butt is an unofficial character in it's own."

they were correct.

Thanks for sharing. Watched the 1st episode around midnight and got hooked. Finished the entire season just 5 min. ago. Unusual in many ways, brutal, tense with some nice spins.

Cheers Euclid

Started this last night - lots of naked body parts - don't watch while eating your tea -you'll be put off sausages for life.

Other than that seems quite good - I don't know if its me but had to fiddle with the sound settings to make the dialogue an easy listen (dropped the bass, and increased the treble). We have the same problem with the Expanse! I think the 5.1 mix overwhelms 2.1 systems and the dialogue gets lost in the mix.

It's not uncommon. Basically it's surround on a stereo system (I think the center speaker usually does voices in a surround system). Turn on volume equalization in windows or on your tv look in the audio menu and there's probably something like volume normalization, stabilization, etc... I think you can do volume compression also with an equalizer but I haven't ever made it work well. The original (before updates last year) volume equalization setting windows 10 came with was the best I have come across yet.

It looks like John Cleese is making a new sitcom.

It looks like Stargate Origins has been released. Some people are happy some aren't as usual.

10 mins each is a bit disappointing QQ

Well, it's just a webseries. Most-likely to test the water, whether there's still enough interest to warrant a new film or a proper series, and to advertise MGM's streaming portal Stargate Command. I think I read somewhere that you can even watch the first episodes of Stargate Origins, which were already released, for free if you register on that website. But I haven't tried it yet. Additionally, the original Stargate movie is free to watch on the Stargate Command YouTube Channel now.

Since my TV/internet cable was trashed by city workers digging up a busted water main and won't be fixed until the law suits are finished...welcome to the USA...I'm binge watching.

I found and ordered the entire Babylon 5 series with movies and the failed Crusade series. Gave me ideas for a few starship models.

Also found complete series of Gene Roddenberry's Earth the Final Conflict. Dogged in the final season.

Watching series I had a part in the Art Department of. Won't say what I never liked watching it then and you've probably panned it, but I watch for what I/we could have done to keep it afloat. It usually sums up to shooting the producers/writers.

Doctor Who new and old. Have friend in Wales working on production. Say new female Doctor might be too trendy. I say, "About damn time!"

Game of Thrones. Looking for production errors, tips, 3D post techniques. Always find something I missed. Buy DVD so I can screen shot.

Thinking about the last month I've been without TV except local I can pickup on antenna? I've been more more entertained thanks to Amazon and dvd and blue ray buys than cable TV.

The original Stargate movie is currently free to watch on Stargate Commands youtube channel. I don't think there's any region restrictions on it. Some episodes of the new Stargate Origins might be free if you register with the Stargate Command site but I don't really know if that's true or not.

Been watching Tientsin Mystic on Netflix and I highly recommend it, downside, it's Chinese so they are speaking Mandarin, meaning it's subtitled but it is really good and worth watching. Was going to link the trailer for it but it's full of spoilers, your better just watching it.

It looks like Ash vs Evil Dead season 3 is airing weekly on some countries netflix. Hong Kong is one of the countries.

-it looks like Belgium and Netherlands have season 3 also.

Friend came back from winter olymipics with S Korean movies subtitled in English. Most forgetable, but they nailed the whole undead thing with "Train to Busan."

Train to Busan is (has been for a while) available to Amazon Prime members to watch for free. Highly recommend "The Man from Nowhere" as a great action flick from Korea - and "The Suspect" is very watchable too.

Didn't know until you told me. 4g w/ datacap is the best I have right now. Streaming movies not on agenda until my cable gets fixed. Thanks for the heads up though.

If you have a roku or some device that has the Fawesome.tv movies channel you can watch 3rd Rock from the Sun free. There's also Lexx but I can't get it to work. Switching to US region didn't help me.

I think it's the channel below for reference.
