Rebels is an easily bingeable series, in that it is relatively short and also very decent in terms of quality. I actually like it a lot and would recommend it without hesitation. In short, chances are it won't feel like a drag.

I've heard nothing but good things about this movie. Is it anything like Stallone's "Judge Dredd"?
I love this movie. It's on netflix. There should've been six of these by now but Hollywood is stupid.
Barely. This one has a simple, contained story about cops vs bad guys in one place. The character is great. The action is great. The special effects are...good. Some bits of humor.
Stallone Dredd tried to go big with lots of world building and an origin story for the character and the politics of the society. It had much more comedy, or attempts at comedy.
2012 Dredd is definitely worth watching if it's on Netflix where you live. I think it's about 90 minutes.
Good? It captured the essence of early 80s pop culture, it’s pretty much an immaculate time capsule. Then he did it again in ‘92 with Singles.
Also on Fast Times - if you watch it again, keep an eye on the bit parts. Lots of actors who had 15 seconds in that movie had huge careers later. For example - Spicoli’s stoner buddies were Nic Cage, Anthony Edwards, and Eric Stoltz. There are others.
Actually Stoltz was in Singles too, in a small but memorable role.
couple weeks have passed since you posted this, but season two has gotten quite a bit better. I like it. The one I don’t like on the same app is Invasion. I gave it as many chances as I could, but it’s just silly and insipid.
She was probably 15 when she was in that, but…oof. I was probably 12, so think of that comment as coming from 12 year old me.
There’s a whole backstory there. The TL/DR is that she was blacklisted in Hollywood for a very long time because she refused to have sex with Harvey Weinstein. Apparently.
The drooling over 15 year old Jennifer Connelly one.So which comment's that?
But funny story - about 20 years ago my wife and I were at a movie. I think it was “A Beautiful Mind.” I’d been picking the movies that summer and she noticed it was the third one we’d seen with Jennifer Connelly in it. I swear I didn’t do that on purpose.
We watched that recently. It was more or less what I expected so no complaints.
I'm on season 7 of Archer and man it's kind of a trip...
I think they went a bit overboard in the cop chase scene; I guess it's just how Hollyweird movies are made these days.
Hijack on Apple TV. Idris Elba plays a guy who is trapped on a hijacked plane and hopes to use his skills as a negotiator to defeat the bad guys. 2 episodes in so far and it's well done and fast paced. I'll keep watching.
