LOL.

At this point: it's all the same shit. Really; there's no one doing anything that is spectacular or groundbreaking or even all that interesting. All these "originals" are reboots, remakes, or versions of meta-biting revolving around ideas stolen from the NetflixAmazonHuluFuckship. "Black Mirror" is the only show I've seen in the past couple of years that's peeled my wig back. That's one show out of, what? I think I read that there are 487 scripted TV shows in 2018. That's fucking insane and redundant.

Netflix, for all of its cultural cache, is just an lower-cost alternative to HBO for millennials who think that not having cable is lit, brah.

black mirror aka leftie british twilight zone with high production values. the show is pure biterade. call it "the meg" cause it bites everything, including itself.

Deep, yo.

My favorite thing about it, aside from an incalculable number of plot holes and such, is that the family is hugely dysfunctional to the extent where the animosity between the parents actively puts their children in literal mortal danger and this is played as a cutesy plot point punctuated with an 'OH JAN!' type one liner at the end of ep2.

yeah it's funny. even when they are about to die, the kids always seem to have funny quips, especially the red-haired girl.

And every time they barely escape death the mom smiles like it was just a really scary rollercoaster ride, not an iceberg collapsing on them.

still pretty fun.

I can't decide whether the fake dr lady is really great or a terrible overactor.

It's just Parker Posey Parker Poseying, I'm into it. It's funny to see her in a show like this but her weirdness fits with the way the character is written. And it's not like anything else in this show is in any way subtle or sensibly calibrated.

Watched another ep and I'm still with it, Penny is really growing on me.

Started Wild Wild Country and holy shit it's so crazy

^^ if you're enjoying Wild Wild Country, check out the doc "Gringo: The Dangerous Life of John McAfee" afterwards. Insanity ensues there as well.

oh I'll watch or read anything about that dude, his story is amazing

weird, the preview didn't look like a comedy. i'll give it a shot

Wild Wild Country had me up all night and working from home. Amazing stuff.

Just watched The Titan, legitimately one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

Godless is pretty dope, I think, idk anymore

The new Sandler/Rock movie “the week of” is up there. Funny moments but really really bad.

I will definitely be watching this Friday night. quoting it to remind me

lost in space is dumb. thought they had balls for a sec when
and then all of a sudden
just floating around.

@alpha to answer your question, this is a good actor deliberately playing as an annoying cooch.

Bushmaster looks pretty cool, would watch for him. Hopefully this time they won't tank the show by killing off the best part of it half way through.

yeah, it became clear by the end.

I thought it was pretty fun overall. Of course none of the main people were going to die.

I'll watch the second season, why not.

they seriously tricked me with the
really thought dude got wasted. so props to them for that.

next season could be cool since now we're in
looks sweet

bong junho's straight to netflix movie "okja" is quite good. it's like "the host" meets "my neighbour totoro". ridiculous performances by jake gyllenhal, tilda swinton, & paul dano caricature amerikkkan excess in stark contrast to the simple goodness of the farm girl.

The actor playing Penny is good but the wisecracks rly dragging it down

excited about a potentially good horror anthology series by Guillermo del toro

anybody try Evil Genius yet?

Very curious about it. Its my next watch as soon as i finish Better Call Saul S3

good call that looks solid, going to start it tonight

10 hour Michael Jordan doc coming later this year focusing on the 97-98 season. Has the potential to be amazing.

Evil genius was amazing, finished it in one sitting

Anyone watch safe ?

Evil genius was dope. that story is pretty nuts.
No one is watch
ing the new season of "arrested development"?

Really happy to hear that about Evil Genius. Going to start it tonight.

Safe was solid. The payoff was odd, but worked. Would recommend.
