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.

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
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.
