Stranger Things

Starting to watch season 2. Love it, kids and scary stuff, makes me feel young again. Nice diversion from all the real world junk.  :smileyhappy:   No computers or cell phones either.......oh wait ...

Binge watched the whole series yesterday.  Great stuff, though not as good (imo) as S1. Love all the 80s references. And Paul Reiser. And Sean Astin.

    Netflix + Hughesnet -- fantastic.  No problems with the VDS speed -- Stranger Things looked great on a large TV.  Netflix always delivers good quality images, even with VDS turned on.

     

    NBC streaming app + Hughesnet -- forking bad.  Watching The Good Place is very frustrating because, I suppose, NBC doesn't like latency. I've tried casting from their website as opposed to the app, but there's no difference.  I have tried disabling VDS and it's the same story, so I'm blaming NBC. Boo on you, NBC.

        There's something about paying for CBS that rubs me the wrong way. Kinda like the way NBCSN decided to get people to pay for 3 games a week when they provided Extra Time for the past coupla three years.

         

        That said, Ep. 1 of Discovery almost did it's job to hook me in.
