The sheer amount of new programming by Netflix and Amazon is staggering and it’s leaving all the conventional studios in the dust. They seem to be playing a quantity game, hoping there are some winners in there. They also don’t get distracted having to spend hundreds of millions on special effects “blockbusters” that are, by and large, real stinkers.

So far, I’ve liked Man in the High Castle (Season 1) and House of Cards (first 4 seasons).

“The Crown” is good even if it is historically inaccurate in many ways. Still a watchable story.

The Crown is good, IMO. Claire Foy plays a very believable Queen Elizabeth II, and there's a surprisingly positive portrayal of a young Billy Graham visiting England.

Two seasons in, and as time marches on Elizabeth and Philip will be portrayed be different, older actors.

One worries about Margaret though, she's angry with Elizabeth and she always has a cigarette in her hand.

Oh yeah, back to the subject... Sundance... I'm so sorry for Mr. Redford that his film festival is beginning to wane... /s

High Castle is great stuff.

What will OGF (?) Smith do next?

“Breaking Bad” was amazing.
