The clear cream of the crop.
Sad thing is if you binge it's a very short season. I guess that BBC influence. These creators need more $$$ and more eps and this may become THE show Netflix can hang it's hat on. It's that good. Black Mirror does it right. There are nods to themes but nothing smashes you over the head with anything. It makes you think. It honors the original Twilight Zone... |

I did. I thought it was a very good story that was well cast and filmed for a crime fiction series. The way the story unraveled and left off made for a nice appetizer for a 2nd season. Mostly though, I liked the French Pyrenees setting. Cool to see that part of the world, plus it felt warm here while watching it.

Recommendation is usually to start with a different episode (take your pick) then watch S1E1 later. |

I have only watched the first season. I had no idea what the show was about or how it was set up and that first episode is definitely a big shocker. I haven’t started season 2 yet but glancing at the episode descriptions they seemed quite odd. I’m guessing it’s pretty pointless to determine watching them based on those though. |

Anyone watched or is watching Godless on Netflix? I’m about halfway through it and it’s really good if you like westerns.

Here is one so cool looking, that I'm thinking of finding a way to cheat to watch it since I know next to nothing about Amazon
Jean Claude Van Damme plays a washed up action hero, who comes back to showbiz... but the comeback is only cover for his new career as a James Bond-type spy hero Looks genuinely cool and hilarious IMO |

Anyone catch High Maintenance?
It's not 'must see' but it's pretty decent. It follows around a weed dealer in Manhattan, to serve as a surrogate/gatekeeper for the stories of his clients. Season 2 premiered last night, and it's safe to say it made the best, most subtle [it doesn't even name the 'calamity' or the date or anything. It's treated as a 'generic' tragedy], use of the 2016 election by putting him as a fly on the wall as people were scarfing his product up with abandon the day after. This is a short overview of the premise And here's a teaser for the season to come It used to be a web series before HBO bought it up, and the 2 seasons it was on youtube are archived here https://mega.nz/#F!1VQm1DKA!rADF_L1buF77V8juTlnKAQ Last edited by Baby Lee; 01-20-2018 at 07:23 AM.. |
