Watching "Logan's Run" right now. I had always heard of it and understood it's place in cinema/sci-fi lore.
I like the premise and theme, but man it doesn't hold up well. The special effects and overall production are damn cheesy.
I'm actually kind of shocked this hasn't been remade yet. It's ripe for a CGI update.
Finished binging The Expanse Season 3.
I liked it when I was a stupid teenager, but you're right about it needing a remake. They remake everything now, and the whole concept of it is exactly the kind of stuff hollywood loves...
I binge watched Umbrella Academy on Netflix. I really liked it. I thought the kid that played number 5 did a great job. I look forward to season 2.
I'm currently on Season 2 of the Expanse (Honestly I only started watching it because it has Thomas Jane who I was a huge fan of as The Punisher but it's actually a really good show). After I'm finished with that I'm debating starting The Man in the High Castle which sounds interesting. Anyone have any input on that?
I went back a few days in the thread and didnt see anyone mention that "The Punisher" cancellation was officially announced by Netflix. :-(
They have now killed off all Marvel original series' they had. Likely since Disney has their own streaming service they want subscribers for and rehoming the shows there would bring in those that were die hard fans.
Netflix original shows and movies are hit or miss (in my opinion).
DC Comics has a streaming service with "Titans", which I thought was really good, and a recently added show "Doom Patrol". In an effort to offer fans some new content outside of their animated movies (which I think are awesome).
I am in the middle of "Umbrella Academy" and am on the fence if I like where it's going.
