A place for shows presented as streaming only — for example Netflix Originals, Amazon Prime Streaming, Hulu Plus, Yahoo, and other sites. (Note: Shows that are part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe shall be discussed in that thread.)

If Justified has both of them, that's good enough for me.
Also, despite the overwhelming sadness, there's something incredibly nourishing about seeing so many gifted actors with great character faces and normally proportioned human bodies and crow's feet and neck wrinkles and none of the women looking any more polished or made up than any regular not-on-television woman.
Martindale is only in the second season. Deaver is mostly in the second season but appears occasionally after that. But it's like Fargo in the quality of its guest stars and recurring stars. Payton Oswalt, of all people, kicks ass on it. Mary Steenburgen. Jere Burns. Jeremy Davies. Jim Beaver. Garret Dillahunt. Stephen Root. Dale Dickey. Alicia Witt. One lone episode of Carla Gugino.
I tried out Disney+ before work this morning; I watched The Three Little Pigs. It's glitchy, though, as you might expect.
I can't get Disney+ to work at all on my roku. Very annoyed.
It's got more of the Marvel movies than they originally said they would launch with. It doesn't have The Incredible Hulk, which is still controlled by Universal, or the solo Spider-Man films, which are with Sony, and Black Panther and Infinity War are still on Netflix. But every other Marvel film is there, which is nice.
OK has anyone seen The Mandalorian yet? Because OMG that baby critter. (Which isn't Yoda, and we don't know what species Yoda is, but he's hella cute. Did they get Henson to do the work?)
Adorbs.
Still waiting for Gina Carano to show up, though: this show has a lamentable shortage of female characters so far, which is weird given Dave Filoni's involvement.
Gina Carano and Ming Na Wen are both supposed to be a part of it, though I don't know how much.
Speaking of Filoni, I want my Asokha and Sabine road trip show, damn it.
Word, Kalshane. Really want to see more of their stories.
And really, shouldn't someone have found Ezra by the time of TLJ?
I don't want to discuss Star Wars on the public internet, but I am having a very hard time accepting Baby Yoda as 50 years old. Longer lifespans in animals do not imply extended periods of infancy. Fucking sea turtles are independent within minutes of hatching and fully mature by age 10.
THIS IS THE MANDALORIAN HILL I WILL DIE ON
LOL, Jessica. You are not wrong! Extended infancy is a pretty bad evolutionary strategy.
