Netflix Price Increase

I guess this shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone. It has been the same price since I first got Netflix Streaming (I have had it off and on for 4 years) and with a lot of the positive feedback they are receiving for their own shows and the negative feedback they receive from their crappy collection, a price increase was inevitable.

What surprises me is that for the next two years, I get to stay at the lower rate. It also raises other questions in regards to the plan specifics and if they will be changing how many users, devices and discs you can have.

I am not sure when this will go I to affect but if you want to make sure you get the streaming at the lower rate, get it now.

I love Michael Ealy and I love Karl Urban. They are very different actors and I like them for different reasons but when I heard that they were going to be staring in a T.V. show together, I knew I had to watch. The show premiered on Sunday November 17th, 2013 or at least the first night of the two night première did on the Fox Network. The second part of the première took place the next night on Monday November 18th, 2013.

We start in 2048 with a robotic type voice giving us an introduction about the state of today’s society that basically says the police now partner with robots. We immediately switch to gunfire and we see Karl Urban’s character (not yet introduced by name) getting a call that someone is down. Oh, his name is Detective John Kennex. It turns out the guy who is wounded is his partner and the robot tells John to leave his partner because there are people who have more chance of living/surviving. The robot was able to run this diagnostic test which I think is cool. Then there is an explosion and John drifts off to la la land where he is in bed with a pretty woman.

Luther, tv

I love Luther!

I don’t know what it is but this show is absolutely amazing. True there are many clichés but there are also some moments that really shine through. John Luther is your typical genius detective whose compulsive and destructive habits destroy his personal live and interfere with his work. The first two seasons take us through serial killers, a jewel heist, and a crooked cop. Along for the ride are his ex-wife Zoe & her boyfriend Mark, young partner Justin, and murderer-turned friend Alice. While the program runs as a mini-series there is complete potential to make it a full season procedural/crime drama. A third season is slated for late 2012 or early 2013 but the future is still up in the air. I really hope that more people jump on the Luther train and save this program before it gets cancelled!
