Nice! No need to manually watch
How to make the stats for the show good while telling the streaming services to improve their shit?
Amazon prime for example. The subtitle looks really bad and not oled friendly (if I set it to 75%, it's too hard to read), the video timeline is super slow, the video streams often drops to something like 480p, etc.
Currently the best is Netflix, thus it's the one where I prefer to use to stream from it directly instead thru pirated files from plex.
Edit:
I got an idea! I'll play the series overnight with the screen and speakers off.
I'm not sure that would work as HDCP would not be active?

This always gets me. People get disappointed that TV shows are cancelled and you ask how they're watching it and it's invariable downloaded. D'oh!
A lot of people who love TV shows are the same people killing the the chances of another series of those TV shows. I get @orangpelupa reason though, Amazon Prime's client on every device I've tried is garbage.
The screen is off but did not get reported as off. It's a feature on lg oled webos TV. Dunno lcd webos TV also have the same feature or not.
NF just raised prices again. Probably won't lose subscribers, may slow down growth.
But they're spending almost $20 billion to finance production of content.
Spreading money all over, heard that they just released a show made in Portugal which is the most expensive TV show ever made in that country.

Glória - it cost six million euros for ten episodes.

I agree with the man himself. I think Mandalorian felt much more like Boba Fett than this character.

This definitely how I felt and, I said in an earlier post, I felt that the characterisation of Din in The Mandalorian was way better despite him almost never taking his helmet off which makes selling that character a vastly tougher deal.
When creating The Mandalorian, it feel like they took the cool aspects of Fett's character and tweaked them, then unfettered by canon or non-canon stored came up with an amazing storyline. So when they roll on the real deal, weighted down by canon and non-canon stories, it just underwhelming. Din is canonically the cheap knock-off of Fett, but it feels the other way around.
cant NF fund "the raid" team to make an awesome action series?
the demographic is too small?

First half of the 4th season of Ozark is out on Netflix, 7 episodes.
My wife watched it so I sort of did, good stuff. Not what I expected at all, fantastic acting.

Omg it’s out.
Not that easy, you see.
Lift, fold, tuck and zip. Simple.

I rage-watched For All Mankind season 2 in one night to be able to cancel AppleTV before I would have had to pay for it. Perhaps the circumstances slightly affect my opinion but was pretty bitterly disappointed, having seen the finale rated incredibly high in IMDB.
I cringed deep at the "space version of AIM54 Phoenix". What the hell does 100nm range mean when you are in vacuum in orbit? The writers suddenly forgot everything about newtonian mechanics. Plus, steering the the missile with control surfaces in vacuum...?
Well ok, smuggling a nuclear reactor to manned base, and running it without anybody knowing it exists is somewhat implausible also.
All in all, it feels like writers with any physics education were kicked out at some point during the production.
As for the script and plot development... Incredibly childish. The astronaut and cosmonaut photo-op a handshake and the whole world immediately realizes that we should be friends after all.

Former aerospace engineering here. Nautical miles are the standard unit of measurement for navigation. It's logical that ordnance developed for space use would be quicker to develop to using all the base calculates we use on Earth, then adjusting those related to atmosphere, pressure and gravity.
The range could be anything because there are many different effective ranges that active ordnance has. There is usually a minimum-arm range as in the damn thing isn't going to explode too close to you, and there are often effective maximum-arm range as in the damn thing hasn't hit it's intended target needs to be permanently disabled so when it hits/lands it won't explode. This would be absolutely critical in space because.. as you say, newtonian physics, and the damn thing could hit any unintended target in 5 weeks time. There is also an effective communications range, which would be much lower in space because cosmic radiation would be a real issue on something that size where you can't have a massive multidirectional raydome for two-way coms, then there is the range after which the propellant is effectively exhausted and it cannot re-orient and re-direct itself, which may be more or less than effective communications range.¯\_(ツ)_/¯
But I don't know the context how it was used. But sure, it's a TV show so they need to simply things. Most people aren't engineers and most people don't know how missiles work.
