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

That was a fantastic doc. I watched it right after I watched Cecil Hotel (whatever it was called) and the difference was night and day.

I watched 3/4 of the Cecil Hotel, I suppose it helps a lot that there was actual crime with the Night Stalker case and a proper conclusion. Cecil Hotel was intriguing through the first two episodes then at the start of the 3rd episode a very obvious crime-free conclusion becomes apparent so they bait and switch to focusing on crazy youtuber conspiracies. Didn't bother watching the finale.

Seriously. Actually Cecil Hotel could have been really good if they’d just focused on the hotel. Crazy shit be happening there. But no they decided to focus on the whackerdoodle “web sleuths.” Those folks just pissed me off to no end.

One of our friends is actually in the doc, he's obsessed with the Cecil Hotel - thinks it's really haunted.

The doc was way too long! It was obvious from the 1st episode when they mentioned she had to be moved to a different room. They also kept referring to the water tank lid being closed when the cops found her even though they mentioned early on the maintenance guy found her in the 1st place with an open lid. The Cecil is just located in a really bad neighborhood with cheap rates, lots of drug users and mentally ill people stay there, so you get a lot of death.

I found the fact they rebranded a portion of the hotel more interesting as people traveling have no idea what they are getting themselves into. Most people in the U.S. know you don't want to stay in downtown LA.

just finished Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel, that was nuts, watching Ripper now.

I didn't know anything about the Cecil Hotel case so I was really disappointed that they build up all these crazy possibilities, especially the thing about how everything mirrored that one movie (similar to the guy out of Don't f*ck with Cats) only for the conclusion to just be "oh she was mentally ill and just fell in"

Throughout the 2nd half of the series I just wanted to scream at them THE LID WAS OPEN WHEN THE JANITOR FOUND HER every time they were like "hurrdy durr it wuz clozed wen are officers went up there hurr durr" and all the mystery could have been prevented if they'd just acknowledged that one obvious detail

They kind of glossed over the fact everyone staying there was drinking and showering in dead person goop

Yeah, I would've liked to know if they got sued for that

 

[Jumptheshark]

Just watched country comfort. LA actors trying to fake southern accents. Man is it bad

Water tanks should probably be locked down because somebody could easily poison the entire building. They should have bene.

Holy crap the third season of Paradise PD went totally bonkers lol I don't think I'd ever seen so many cartoon boobs and shlongs. Christian groups are up in arms because of the episode Jesus had guns lol.

Crazy show.

i've been watching this season, it's been terrible though, I'd be surprised if they get another season.

If you enjoy crime documentaries, the Night Stalker is a really good one.

 

[Epictetus]

Finished Unbelievable.
That poor girl. She needed Benson and Stabler on the case, not those fools.

 

[cupcrazyman]

I'll Be Gone In The Dark on HBO is a very good documentary about the Golden Gate Murders.(Joeseph DeAngelo)

I thought it was on Netflix because it is HBO but in Canada it is on Crave.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

If you enjoy crime documentaries, the Night Stalker is a really good one.

I was in junior high in California during this and never before or since had I seen people so terrified. This is before the internet of course....it was 3 channels of television and you had to wait until the morning paper to see if anything happened in the other end of the state. He killed up and down the state, he killed men, women and children. Everyone was a potential victim

that sounds surreal. The evening news must have been huge

 

[chicagoskycam]

Watched the 1st episode of The Serpent last night. Very compelling - feels like it might be a good one

 

[montreal]

watched Murder Mountain, that was kind of nuts, being on the east coast my whole life I never heard anything about that then other I knew what the area was known for growing.

Started the Serpent, that seems like it could be pretty good. Plan on starting the Night stalker soon

 

[Siamese Dream]

Recently finished a couple of German series which I enjoyed

Charité and then its supposed sequel Charité At War (I watched the latter first because it can be viewed as a standalone series)

Both are set in the famous Berlin hospital. The first one takes place in the late 19th century and focuses on the development of vaccines for tuberculosis and diptheria. The second one takes place in the latter half and up to the final days of the Second World War, as the title suggests, and deals with issues such as eugenics.

 

[chicagoskycam]

I would say the Serpent is a really good show, based on a true store and almost unbelievable at times. I would like to watch an actual doc on this guy. Some of the reviews were not great like they were waiting for a big payoff, real life doesn't work that way.

 

[Primary Assist]

The Crown is the best show currently on any platform, fight me

 

[montreal]

just finished the Serpent, that was f***ing nuts.
