Online Series: NETFLIX (The General All Things Netflix Thread)

Think you meant understatement.

Really? So this show is farther from a comedy than shows like

Six Feet Under
Breaking Bad
Dexter
Planet Earth
True Detective
The Wire

I could go on and on but I think the point is made

None of them are comedies, just like 13 reasons why. I question if you ever watched it if you think it even resembles a comedy in the slightest.

No its not a comedy in the strictest sense but it's far from being the most serious show ever made.

Anyway looked for something new to watch when I finished Sex Education.

And man, I started Russian Doll and didn't stop until it was over. Highly recommended. The Groundhog's Day shtick has been done before but it's really terrifically done here. Definitely one of Netflix's better original titles.

started watching the Punisher series yesterday. I expected it to be a cookie cutter Marvel offering. I am three episodes in and its not to bad at all, really fleshed out.

Russian Dolls seems promising!

Watched the Ted Bundy doc. I didn't think the tapes of Bundy himself talking were all that insightful, but I did still enjoy the doc. I didn't really know that much about the story so I found it all really interesting. I wonder if people who were familiar with the facts found it underwhelming.

I lived through it (was a teenager in Colorado when he made his escapes), so I was familiar with the story.
I found the show dull.

mike was the perfect character. such a dick but knew it

 

[Bubba Thudd]

I started watching Sex Ed, since some here suggested it. About half done. I'll keep watching.
Also watched an episode of Russian Doll. Will probably watch a few more, before making a determination on it.

I saw an article about JPMorgan suggesting that Apple needs to buy Netflix if they want to break into the streaming service game.

Please no.

I have 2 eps left in the season, it's been very good!

All I knew about Ted Bundy was that he killed attractive women and was as shocking as he was cause no one thought he looked or acted like a killer.

I thought the tapes were sort of insightful cause they sort of tied into...well just how baffling it was that all the evidence against him was so obvious. Seems to me he learned about circumstantial evidence and thought it was a blanket protection to engage in his atrocities so long as he was mostly careful. He really was delusional.

I watched the whole thing in 2 days. It's really good. Hopefully there will be another season.

 

[Bubba Thudd]

I've watched 4 eps of Russian Doll so far.
It's OK, IMO. Not great, but watchable.

 

[montreal]

I watched 2 episodes of russian doll, seems ok so far. also watching Dark, I first tried watching it with the dubbing but couldn't stand it so I went back and watched it with subtitles and it's pretty good. I'm about half way through, it's different.

also watching cheers, grew up on it and haven't seen it in many years, show is still great and funny.

Your Netflix has Cheers?? There is no classic comedy on mine. I’m only asking because of your username but are you in Montreal or the States?

Amazon Prime seems to have more classics...like Baywatch (remastered)!!!!!!!!!

 

[Pilky01]

Watched the doc on the alt right. Was really well put together. The main antifa dude they were following seemed like a really good guy. I hope he overcomes his health problems.

It kinda made me wish I could find groups of Nazis to throw shit at. But at the same time made me glad I don't live somewhere that nazi rallies are a normal occurence.

Lol bay watch remastered sucks.

 

[montreal]

Finished Russian Dolls the other day, pretty good as I like the groundhog day theme.

Also finished Dark, wow that was a bit of a mindf***. Really enjoyed it and if you are interested in time travel and the paradoxes it creates, I'd highly recommend, I watched it in German as I can't stand dubbing.

Started watching Kingdom, not sure if I will continue with it or not.

 

[Tuggy]

I really liked Dark. Definitely a mind f***

Season 2 is suppose to be out this year some time.

 

[BGDDYKWL]

Russian Dolls, I'm only two episodes in so no spoilers please, but let's just say the first episode. What on Earth was good about it? Not interesting, not funny, they somehow manage to turn a great premise into nothing more than a look into the lives of a bunch of unlikable degenerates.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

So I just started watching Sex Education....HIGHLY RECOMMEND. This show is comedy gold, each ep is about 50 minutes so it's not just a quick 30 min show.
