Our consultants just arrived.

My cow orker came to my office and said "did you see the two bobs?" I was the only one who knew what he was talking about!

Greenfingers. netflix.

Started watching Wilfred last night.

It's an American retooling of an Australian series that seems to be based on loosely the same concept, but is ultimately very different, like the UK vs. US versions of Being Human. The same Australian actor plays Wilfred in the American series.

Elijah Wood is a suicidal (possibly manic depressive) guy, who sees his neighbor's dog Wilfred as a man in a dog costume. It sounds ridiculous, I know, but there were no wacky hijinks, just a twisted psychological comedy about a guy trying to figure out how (and whether) to put his life back together. Really enjoying it so far.

The Walking Dead, on Netflix.

I'm already beginning to wonder (two episodes in) if this isn't going to be a long, drawn out 'every-gimmick-you've-ever-seen-in-a-zombie-flick-stretched-out-over-multiple-seasons-type thing.

And don't even get me started on Netflix's video quality, which is The Suck.

Clodfobble · 08-27-2012, 05:23 PM

The video quality adjusts based on your internet speed. As soon as you can buffer more, it will stream a sharper image.

BrianR · 08-28-2012, 08:04 AM

agreed. I have DSL and my picture is good to excellent.

Gravdigr · 08-28-2012, 04:15 PM

I got poor people's DSL.

Also, Hulu's quality doesn't seem to suffer nearly as much.

BrianR · 08-29-2012, 09:35 AM

But the commercials!

Now revisiting Torchwood for the benefit of my beloved (who turned 40 yesterday) who hasn't seen it yet, but loves Warehouse 13.

Eden of the East - Short (11 episode) anime about this guy who shows up naked with a cell phone and a gun at the White House. Doesn't look a thing like slang.

John Sellers · 08-29-2012, 01:05 PM

I don't stream movies, I either watch them on TV or download them to watch on my PC.

Same here Max. speed: 1.5 Mbps

On a good day tho, I get relatively bufferless viewing at YouTube.

Netflix is a goldmine of outdated TV series. Since Mrs. Z and I missed the last twenty years or so, we have been having fun catching up. Lately, it's been Lie to Me and White Collar.

Mrs. Z wasn't interested, but I watched the whole Firefly series a couple of weeks ago. I don't understand why that didn't go over better.

Stormieweather · 09-08-2012, 11:31 AM

Currently watching Prison Break.

Just finished Deadwood (loved it!)

Also on my to-do list (some to just get current): Six Feet Under, Pretty Little Liars, Mad Men, Sopranos, Entourage and Fringe.

Already watched:

24
Oz
The Wire
La Femme Nikita
True Blood
Sons of Anarchy

and others.

Pico and ME · 09-08-2012, 02:55 PM

Stormie, didn't you just love Timothy Olyphant in Deadwood? I love him in Justified too. And I just found out that he is in season 2 of Damages.
