Pretty much. I got a month of Crave so we could finish Silicon Valley, Homeland and Game of Thrones. Tried giving WestWorld another crack after having seen seaon 1 years ago. Stopped watching after two episodes of season 2.

Just do what the vast majority of people do. Sign up, binge the entire series in a few days and then cancel.


It's only one season right now with 9 episodes. There is a 7 day free. I think I can.

At least you gave it a shot so I can't criticize your decision at all. In fact, the viewership declined significantly during season 2 so you're not the only one who lost interest by a long shot!

I'm halfway through the third, and final, season of Penny Dreadful. If you like stories about demons, vampires, wolfmen.....etc, this is a good one. It must have cost a small fortune to produce. The acting is top notch, and Eva Green, who plays the main character named Vanessa Ives, should have reieved an Emmy for a terrific sceance sequence.

Penny Dreadful. Why am I not aware of this show? It has excellent review but they cancelled too and replaced with American version with plenty of negative reviews https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10361016/?ref_=tt_sims_tt

The original show was not cancelled by the network. The show's creator ended it after 3 seasons because he said he was simply done telling the story he wanted to tell. It was strictly creative reasons, not financial.

Westworld wasn't just bad padding, but after season 1, was horrible writing.

You could literally watch only the first and last episode of season 2 and not miss anything important.

Season 3 was a mixed bag. I have one episode left, but everyone was raving over episode 7, but frankly I don't see what all the hype was about? I'm not a fan of forced action, or actors shooting guns without even trying to act like there is recoil, all all. Underwhelmed. And I have put off watching the last episode because it is 1.5 hours long and I'm afraid I might fall asleep, same as I did last weekend watching Mission Impossible 4. What a boring, pointless movie.

Jojo Rabbit, what a wild ride. Very funny, but man does it take some sad, dark turns. I'd recommend it.

The two post ending credit sequences really make watching the finale worth it IMHO.

I liked Westworld Season 1. Season 2 just kept dragging. Season 3 was a letdown. I will not be watching Season 4 if there is one if one of the characters will not be returning.

Season 4 was already green-lit by HBO so it is happening. It just won't be coming out any time soon.


As for the character you speak of, that character WILL be back. It's just that one certain version of that character is permanently gone.

Not a bad sci-fi horror starring Nicholas Cage and Tommy Chong.


Borrows ideas from 'Annihilation' (2018) with a smattering of John Carpenter's 'The Thing' mixed in for good measure

This must have been a straight to streaming movie. It fell totally under my radar so I'll check it out soon.

I think it might have been Panzer.

I've been following this guy on YT who does a lot of movie recommendations that are available on various streaming services. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCT09qC2vwlbJvofZRIdLalg

I've got a load queued up to watch and to be honest I've not heard of most of them.

Can you provide some parameters? Which genres do you like? Scifi? Action? Crime?
