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

[The Crypto Guy]

Surprised there isn't more buzz about Kingdom. For what it was, pretty damn great.

Likely because it's not in English. Me like a lot of others don't enjoy reading my shows, or having some terrible lip syncing acting.

Where can I get a list of new daily releases for Netflix?

Same but it's got English audio available. Dubbed like an old Kung Fu movie...

Hence the "terrible lip syncing acting" haha. I could never get into something dubbed either.

It's honestly not that noticeable but to each their own.

UK Netflix has Brooklyn 99, so I've been binge watching from the start. Up to season 4 now.

So this Fyre documentary thing with Netflix and Hulu...

Do I really need to watch both?

Google search told me to do Hulu's first, then Netflix's version... but just seems a lot considering they're both about the same damn thing?

The Hulu one includes interviews with Billy post Fyre. Otherwise for more detailed information the Netflix doc wins hands down. It includes live footage from the time of and it is also more critical

So I could get away with just watching the Netflix version it sounds like?

Probably. It's a pretty intriguing story so I wanted to watch both.

 

[HanSolo]

I haven't watched either but I like hearing that Ja Rule said "it's not fraud, it's more like false advertising."

Like...should someone tell him?

There is an app called upflix.

To each their own. Shame, cause this show torches its mortally challenged American brethren.

Trust me, I wish I could get into dubbed shows...I tried SO hard to watch "Dark", the story was so amazing (got through about 7 eps) but with the mouths not lining up it just ruined it for me

Please watch Dark with subtitles if you haven't already. It's amazing. I consider it to be among Netflix's best shows, alongside GLOW, BoJack Horseman, Mindhunter.

I finished Carmen SanDiego and started Sex Education tonight. Anyone else watch this show (the latter). It’s interesting and Dana Scully is in it.

I just started it off someone's recommendation. There's a few parts here and there that are a bit dumb, but I can't help but think throughout every episode that this is so much more believable than 13 Reasons Why. Sure all these "kids" are adults but at least they're actually talking like real human beings rather than robots programmed for edgy witticism. None of the "sexual topics" feel shoehorned in awkwardly. There are some raw emotional moments that feel really well done. 13 reasons why had them too but the show overall was mired in over the top melodrama. Though I will say one immersion breaking aspect is that it seems like every single person in that school is engaging in PDA all the time and that feels a touch realistic. I mean don't get me wrong, when I was in high school plenty of the kids were hooking up but they weren't THAT obnoxious about it.

Other than that, it's quite a good show. One of the better Netflix shows I've watched lately.

Anyone else swinging by this thread should know that there are some graphic images at least through the first 5 episodes I've watched.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

I only watched the first two episodes (and I haven’t seen 13 reasons why) but so far whet I like is that it does feel believable to how high schoolers should be. It’s somewhat a comedy but nothing feels forced yet. Looking forward to seeing how this season plays out.

it was.... okay. goes in a different direction than I would like, and that I think would have been more interesting, but its fine

I stayed up late to finish with episode 5 so that puts me at 3 more hours of the first season to go. Again, just a consistently solid show. The ending of that episode is pretty cheesy but not something that could literally never happen in real life. The dramatic stuff is startingt o pick up at this point, and again, doesn't feel fake at all.

Definitely has become a show I'd recommend to others.

There are some humorous parts but it's definitely about as far as a comedy you'll find.

Bit of an overstatement

Think you meant understatement.
