Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25011 | Season 3 all of Goliath on Prime. The first season was great, the second season sucked so bad it was hard to believe. The third season sucked on an even greater scale. No production budget, a convoluted slow as molasses story, and crappy acting. I just kept wanting it to be over. Please, somebody watch this. tell me I'm wrong. If you care how about a single character by the end of season 3 you're a better person than me. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

petroglyph Member since: Aug 3, 2014 Threads: 25 Posts: 6227 | Watched Goliath season 3. The end seemed like it was written quickly to end the show. Almost unrelated somehow? Like, here you go, this is the ending. Tania Raymonde is a stunning beauty. I watch her and can't help but be aware that some people are just born with the gift rare good looks. And a great body to go with such a pretty face. Those quality's are like being born with a gold mine. I can guess that she made a lot of enemy's from jealous females and guys that couldn't get near her during her younger days. Whew. I always like Graham Greene and William Hurt. Several good actors, but I never cared for BB Thornton. The writing was lacking. Agreed, season one was best. The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |

The ending was stupider than the whole series, if possible. It was like a bad 70's made for TV movie. BBT phoned in his performance. Most of this crappy show took place on an obvious Hwood set of a middle of nowhere casino. The rest of the time had BBT driving his silly Mustang rag top on endless dirt roads, or having LSD slipped into his drinks at the casino. Beau Bridges totally disappeared halfway thru. At the end everybody dies. Brother, sister, Indian, and almost BBT. One of the worst series I've ever seen. The case Billy was working one was resolved out of nowhere in the last 12 min of the show, like they thought it up on the spot. Ridiculous. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

An amazing show, 3rd season next month. Watching the 2nd season again. What if all TV was this good. The part where they go to the Catskills and spend 2 months every summer is priceless. Rich Jews only. The silly innocent fun they have there is how this country used to be. Before we became divided politicos, and bitter partisans. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25011 | The Boys on Prime. Not bad. About superheros who are hero's to the public and selfish jerks in their private lives, and criminals. It's tongue in cheek and violent at the same time. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25011 | Never heard of Pluto TV before. It's a streaming TV service that offers a ton of programs for free. I was pretty impressed. https://pluto.tv/live-tv/today-1 If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Pluto TV got a stamp of legitimacy when they were purchased by Viacom for $340 million in March. Before that the channels would come and go. Most of the stuff is old, but that could mean last year's shows. Pluto is "advertising supported" like broadcast TV, or Roku channel. Crackle and Tubi TV offer a similar service to Pluto Hulu in May 2018 announced it has surpassed 20 million subscribers in the United States. As of November 2019, Pluto has 20 million monthly active users. Hulu has you paying $5.99 per month to watch video on demand with commercials, while Pluto has no monthly charge. LIVE TV PlayStation Vue service will end on January 30, 2020. Hulu + Live TV plan (with ads on the on-demand content) will increase from $44.99 to $54.99 as of 4 weeks from now. Youtube + Live TV is $49.99 per month. SlingTV is still $40 per month for full service, but I assume their price will go up as well AT&T TV Now has six tiers, but starts at $50/mo (formerly Direct TV Now) PLUS $50/mo. 47+ channels MAX $70/mo. 80+ channels ENTERTAINMENT $93/mo. 100+ channels CHOICE $110/mo. 120+ channels XTRA $124/mo. 130+ channels ULTIMATE $135/mo. 141+ channels Disney might still decide to stop leasing their channels to the other three companies (YouTube, Sling and AT&T TV NOW) |

For streaming TV, it's impressive. Tons of channels and best of all, they have On Demand. Time to cut the cord on cable. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
