Netflix Binge Thread

Wayne..........."from the guy that wrote Deadpool"
 
Definitely NFSV but it makes me laugh, and more importantly it makes me think....

Project Blue Book 

[magentus]

Russian Doll - 9/10 - brilliant idea brilliantly executed. Watching it for a second time to check out stuff I missed first time round.

[AlephZero]

Bodyguard, I sure hope there will be season 2! 

[AlephZero]

Tho I do love all the British crime/police/thriller series... 

Currently doing Aussie series though, on Amazon Prime Video... Rush

[Gerhard Gerber]

Watched the first episode of Weird City last night..............weird series! 

I'm a bit torn, the first "love scene" had me  , but the behavior, dialogue etc etc is so far from normal....as per the alternative universe where the story is set.....that it leaves me a bit cold.

[Blackbeard]

damn too much stuff to check out...I started watching Umbrella Academy but fell asleep halfway through first episode, will post review later this weekend. Looks pretty good, based off a dark horse comic

[Gerhard Gerber]

Watched the pilot of Doom Patrol last night, looking forward to the rest.

Doom Patrol was one of my favourites growing up, that said I only had a few comics that I found at a 2nd hand book store, the art was some of my favourite of all comic books but I never got the whole story.

Do You need a separate service to watch that? I was looking at it on IMDB the other day but couldn't figure out where to view it.

Just started watching Sisters - an Australian drama/comedy - gripping!

.I started watching Umbrella Academy but fell asleep halfway through first episode

And who can blame you 

Liked the first episode, but lots of nap-time potential.

Yeah I fell asleep a few times during a few episodes(but I cant say if it was just my late night viewing habits or the writing)and had to rewind a bunch but i did enjoy it. It starts off kinda slow and has a watchmen feel with present day characters and past day backstory unlike most origin first superhero stuff. Thought it was better then some of the snoozefest netflix Marvel shows, most of them have been canceled anyways.

Decent special effects and interesting soundtrack....7/10

Really liked that scene with them all dancing at the end.....that probably hooked me

Been having a hard time finding shows to watch in between rewatching "Supernatural" seasons out of order, so I tried Ken Jeong's comedy special, "lets see if this is funny" I said to myself...2 brutal days later of watching in 20 minute increments my answer is no, no it is not. There's basically one joke about his wife's name, and then him name dropping endlessly and making "The Hangover" references and bragging about his bank account and medical degree. I don't think I laughed once.
1/10 yes thats not a typo, it's that bad, I give him one point for being articulate

Such a shame! I didn't get any further than the trailer. Pity because I love him in Community and his bit part in The Office - beautifully deranged.

[Blackbeard]

Yeah Mags, I forgot about community, that was a good show, if you are looking for a comedy special I think I posted a few in this thread that were really funny, but if someone else wants to check this one out, would be interesting to see their opinion...I looked on IMDB page of this just now and many are saying the same tho, I think if if Netflix hadn't promoted it as stand up comedy and maybe like a storyteller thing it might have had more traction to some.

Watched a podcast this week where they mentioned how unfunny some very popular shows are without the "laughter track" 

Knowing this might just spoil at least two shows completely.......and make me feel like an idiot. 

[Gerhard Gerber]

Don't think I've mentioned Deadly Class before.....

Interesting (and violent) series, up to episode 7 and now I feel like things need to start happening......character introductions are over....

If your talking about big bang theory, I've heard that b4, I don't agree, it's funny either way.

Are we watching the same podcasts?

IIRC they mentioned Chuck Lorre shows in general, not sure, but obv iously thought of TBBT immediately. It is funny for sure, but I still would like to experience it without the laughter track....

[Gerhard Gerber]

Knightfall season 2 is running, okay so far.

There was a musical section in Doom Patrol S01E08 that is rather excellent IMO 

Barry the assassin is also back for a second season, some lighthearted dark humor 

 

[Gerhard Gerber]

 
Just thought of the list of shows that I've basically stopped watching mid-sentence 

The Blacklist
Supergirl
The Flash
Legends of Tomorrow
Gotham

Yeah it's a sad time when you find Supernatural more believable than the blacklist, stopped watching a few years ago.

"You Vs. Wild"

A choose your own type adventure with Bear Grylls,  use your streaming remote and make choices throughout the episode and see where it ends up(Like Bandersnatch)Caught the first episode, enjoyed making him opt for the most treacherous paths or eating a disgusting fat and squishy grub, had me  .Whatever your stand on Bear...Love/hate, it's fun to play god in a limited fashion

[Blackbeard]

Anybody check out the new BBC/David Attenborough "Our Planet"? Great cinematography, what HD shows are supposed to look like. I think I said "oh snap" for the first time in my life while watching a group of Walruses falling down a cliff onto a rocky shore.

[Blackbeard]

Watching the OA right now.. pretty interesting so far

Watched S1 and the new S2 last week, good Sci-fi, some parts a little slow, but worth checking out

Not sure I want to see that.....or emaciated polar bears 

[Gerhard Gerber]

Anybody watching Barry?

Assassins can be very funny, show seems to have found it's stride in S2 

[Blackbeard]

the bears were pretty normal looking, the shows theme is about changing climates and environments and mankinds impact on nature. there's nothing too shocking in the first 3 episodes besides the walrus. It's really a beautifully filmed program, but similar to "Planet Earth"
