Just finished the season. I LOVED it. There is a making of feature at the end too - they are hoping to make 2 more seasons, if Netflix bites. I hope they do. IMPORTANT POINT: Make sure you change the language setting to original English! Do NOT watch it on the default setting, which is dubbed English. It will ruin it completely, and not just because the dubbing on the foreign language parts sucks (it really does). It won't make sense because the fact that people are speaking different languages to each other and not necessarily understanding each other is a part of the storyline/script. If it's all in English because of dubbing it just doesn't work.

Just finished the third and final season of Dead to Me. It was real good. Christina Applegate definitely deserves at least a nomination for best lead actress in a role.

"Pepsi, where's my Jet"

This was an interesting doc. I remember hearing about it years ago, I remember the commercials changing the numbers too. Never knew the outcome.

The Avonotti lawyer who just got sentenced is in this, lol. Imagine that and he's been a scumbag all these years, lol.

well of course it was *meant* to be shocking. that's the current entertainment sickness we find ourselves in. without gory visuals, it wouldn't make as much money.

I would have been just as entertained with an Unsolved Mysteries type of production. I don't mind gore when it's fictional; I despise dramatic depictions and they can use the "based on true events" tag to try to make everyone believe every thing in the show actually happened (and many do). Even the manner of his first kill wasn't truth. I looked it up. So you can't tell me that other stuff he did when he was alone wasn't highly ficiontalized.

I have to agree with you there somewhat. I've often thought that the sickest minds among us should be somewhat pittied. I don't know if they can control those impulses. Of course, they need to be locked away to protect society, but I can't imagine being stricken with such a brain.

Haven't checked this thread in a while. I rarely say it out lout, but I agree a little. I often think of some of the horrible things people do and can't imagine how bad that impulse must are knowing what the consequences will likely be. I don't potty them in a sense in that I feel bad for them and that they are locked up, but makes me thankful that I'm, more or less, normal.

I potty them.
I potty them all.

Added to my list - I am sure to watch in the next 10 years.

You know how sometimes you stream episode 1 of a new show and it's not your thing and you're like "whatever it was just an hour".

Then you spend two hours watching a movie you didn't like and feel betrayed that you wasted two hours of your life.

That's how I felt about Barbarian

Netflix business model just doesn’t work. The typical show gets one short season. If it’s very popular, maybe two or three seasons. If it’s huge like stranger things, five short seasons.

The reason Netflix constantly cancels shows? As seasons progress tv shows typically get more expensive to produce. But network tv shows have a big advantage, they can raise advertising rates. Netflix can not do that with most of its content. Canceling shows is a super cheap option.

This forces customers to constantly scroll endlessly to find new shows to watch. And when we find one, guess what, it’s at most 2 seasons/ 16 episodes. And with so many shows having so few episodes per title, it requires finding more shows to watch. Unlike say finding five shows on network tv, that’s over a hundred episodes per year which is plenty of tv to enjoy. On Netflix, five titles are about 40 episodes total

Not sure why we are paying a premium fee for what is essentially a scrolling and show canceling service.

Maybe there is a hope..

Jearlpam0925 · January 2023

Imo Dark was better, though 1899 was decent, too. But what I learned from Dark was the idea outkicks the coverage of the actual show - the ending of that show kinda sucked on the whole. And I had a feeling 1899 would've ended up the same.

The money that Netflix used to roll around in just isn't there like it used to be, and won't be again. I still think Netflix does better than a lot of the streaming platforms that are out there, but the only way these services are going to keep up is by going to advertisements (for all of them, even Netflix).

I read an opinion that it wasn't the model, it was the timing of their releases. putting out too many big originals around the same time, instead of staggering them. when I saw the dates and the names of the releases, it made sense.

I mostly watch movies and limited series on Netflix, but the multi-season shows that I have watched or do watch have been absolutely amazing. House of Cards. The Crown. You. Ozark. Orange is the New Black. Black Mirror (granted the seasons are WAY too short, and now the creator/writer is on hiatus). Cobra Kai. Master of None... I could go on... I think Netflix is 100% worth every penny, even if a show I did want to keep watching got cancelled. If someone is struggling to find something good to watch on Netflix, I would suggest they get a second and maybe third and fourth streaming platform so they can get the crazy variety they are seeking, or that they are watching entirely too much TV. But that's just my opinion! (and I do subscribe to multiple streaming platforms, lol).

I kind of lost interest in Orange is the New Black. I've thought about going back to it but it just seemed like it jumped the shark at some point.
