Streaming The Netflix Thread

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

I thought Kaos had some good moments. The way they crafted ancient Greek gods and their stories into a modern context was clever and, at times, amusing. Making Hades black and white was clever. However, having watched all eight episodes now, I can't help but feel (Despite its cleverness. tricks, and interesting cameos) that it just lacked any real substance. 5/10 Average.

Archer is back and it’s still pretty funny.

 

[GreyCrow]

Finished and enjoyed Kaos

Spoiler

Cant wait for season 2

cannot understand why people actually pay money for this. Nowhere near enough good content to justify the price. Don't even offer a free trial anymore.

There's plenty of quality on there. For some people $20 a month is chump change. It's literally a large takeaway meal these days.

I just renewed my subscription.

Costs **** all and there's plenty of content to justify the price.

TV series on Netflix that all range from good-great as a start;

Mindhunter
Stranger Things
Arcane
Supacell
Ozark
Beef
Blue Eyed Samurai
Top Boy
The Sandman
Suits
Narcos
Squid Game

These are just the ones I've seen. There's SO much content. And this is just TV series.

Yet, somehow, it's used every day in my household. Someone is always watching a show on it. I can't say that for any other of the streaming services we pay for. Maybe Disney+. I just got rid of Paramount+ for very that reason—no one was using it.

Not even that large.

only has to be the minimum of quality content, enough to tolerate the monthly charge.
would give it up if my wife didn't watch it. once you're paying, you're locked in to trying to find something worthwhile. often you can if you look hard enough, or expand your horizons.
i feel a lot lately that tv is a waste of my time, regardless of being charged for it. how much am i attempting to watch just to try and justify paying for it?

Untold: Sign Stealer

Documentary about a dude who steals signs and plays from other college football teams and relays the information to the Michigan coach. Smart but also extremely sketchy.

Usually love these. This one was just okay. College footy is ****ing insane over in USA. It's really a different world. Couldn't imagine our country going nuts over VFL footy.

The whole concept of sign stealing was bizarre to me. Fancy a sport having a rule that you're not allowed to scout a team at other games to work out how to beat them. You can only watch videos. Deciphering another team's hand gestures (signs) seemed like a proper competitive action to me. I saw this as just an example of how weird Americans are sometimes.

Yeah absolutely stupid. You can't video the other coaches, but you can use the 'official' footage. I hear the NCAA is ran by absolute ****wits and this is no different.

To me the guy did nothing wrong. Just had an insane appetite to win.

 

[GhostofJimJess]

Haven't seen it mentioned in here yet, unless I missed it, but 4 eps into The Diplomat and really enjoying it so far.

Very pacey dialogue and intricate political intrigue, ala The West Wing.

Highly recommend thus far, and a nice antidote to all of the MAGA bollocks going on atm.

 

[JackOutback]

The new comedy special by Ahir Shah has a woeful preview pane but is actually a very funny hour with a genuinely interesting story to tell.

I hate that i'm probably going to watch this and enjoy it.

WTH did I just watch

Surely its scripted and parody of Springer et al?

Hard to see how you could do a show like this that isn't somewhat scripted.

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

Me too. LOL

Jerry Springer claimed his show wasn't scripted too, but long after it was over it came out that most of the guests were actors and the situations scripted and fake,

I liked it better when it was "Night Stand with Dick Dietrick".

Twilight of the Gods

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

I really enjoyed Zack Snyder's Twilight of the Gods. The animation was beautiful, and the adult aspects were surprising, as you don't often expect to see that in an animation series.

 

[revo333]

Anyone start watching the Menendez brothers and made it all the way from start to finish?

 

[Jatz]

It's on the list but haven't started as yet.

We are on ep 4. It's very good.
