Disney Plus - Gems?
Discussion

I was nagged by the more spendy elements of the FWIW fam to get D+. What a waste. We already have Netflix and Prime...
I know, I’m the same. I work with sky so at least that’s free and get good deals on netflix and prime but it is just another paid service. And to top it off it is introducing paid layers within itself much like Netflix are for some content. Modern day pyramid schemes I guess but people love their telly!There are of course other ways but it would be immoral to promote those..
As someone who loves everything about WDW resort I really enjoyed the short documentaries "One Day at Disney" and also the longer documentary "Imagineering".
One Day at Disney follows employess during their day at various Disney owned places, from ESPN, to the parks, cruise liners and the studios.
Imagineering follows the story of the Disney Parks from Walt Disney's initial idea through to the development of parks around the world and the design and development of the rides in those parks.

Our kids love it.
The OH and I are starting to catch up on some old shows we didn't watch last time round - Malcolm in the Middle as an example.
Couple of films were available "early" (Onward; Soul; etc) though as noted above, it seems they are due to start charging for immediate access (e.g. Black Widow) - I guess that was inevitable to try and plug some of the gap on cinema revenues.
Mandalorian I thought was a bit b-movie, but my eldest likes it.
I thought WandaVision was great - persevere past the first two episodes but don't skip them.
Falcon and The Winter Soldier was OK.
(The above depends on whether you like Marvel stuff...Loki is out next).
I'm enjoying Next.
No doubt there'll be other bits and pieces (have half started watching "Mars").
OH gets Disney+ free with her phone.
Get used to subscription TV, and lots of different flavours. Everyone wants subscriptions these days...sustainable revenue (they think).
Our kids are 6 and 9. Neighbours have kids 9 thru 16 and they all love the channel too.

Nomad land... It's a tour de force... A cinematic masterpiece... In which literally nothing happens, which would be fine if it was an interesting study of the characters portrayed... But it's not. You end up neither understanding what created the character you're supposed to care about, nor giving a f
k about what happens to them.
Emperor's new clothes at its finest IMO.

We watched this. I like the main actress as I seen her in Three Billboards for the first time.but it was just soulless. But I think that was the point, to try and portray what it's like living in a system that is just aimless. Poingnant, but nothing happened.k about what happens to them.

Will need to check these out. We are also hardcore Disney fans and I am a bit obsessed about Walt and his dreams.
Definitely give the Imagineering documentary a go then, I think from what you've said you'd enjoy it.Another one that my and wife and I are enjoying is Criminal Minds, don't know if it ever aired in the UK, but we like it, it started in 2005 and is still going on now I think, a crime drama about the Behavioural Analysis Unit of the FBI.

Problem was I just didn't warm to the main character either. She's a good actress, but the film needed her to make you care about the character... And I just didn't.It committed the ultimate sin for a bleak film... It left you not caring or emotionally invested. My wife felt the same and it seems so do a lot of reviewers. Definitely polarises opinions.

Big Sky rather good.
Annoyingly currently in mid-season break and then episodes weekly, not all at once so can't binge.......
That's interesting, I thought it had ended. I thought it was an odd (but weirdly satisfying in a bad guy wins kind of way) place to end the season, just after the Tesla autopilot advert. Annoyingly currently in mid-season break and then episodes weekly, not all at once so can't binge.......
When does it restart?

Actually, that's a general flaw with Disney+, it doesn't say when next episode will land....
