I was wondering about future seasons, but the way it ended, it didn’t seem like there were any loose ends or anything to be expanded upon. I loved how seeming aloof Frank Griffin was at the end during the gun fight. Was he completely nuts, or did he really think he had a premonition about the specifics of his death? Or a little bit of both. Guess he was wrong. Again, excellent job by Jeff Daniels in that role. What a villain! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweats Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Alright, so i have to give an update on a Netflix series that i recently praised on here. The series is Rectify.........this dude is falsely accused of killing someone and finally get released from death row after 19 yrs. and tries to readjust to society..........you see? That's a damn good premise for a show. My wife and i have been binge watching it lately. There's like 4 season and the first 2 season are slowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww as they do character development. Well, we started in on seasons 3 and 4 and holy shiza, they are just as slow. The series was rated as a mystery/thriller and i'll tell you thats a downright lie cause its a friggin drama........and did i mention how slowwwwwwwwwwwwwww it was? I'm not saying its all bad cause its a pretty good series, but imagine watching nothing............okay, just nothing and a whole lot of nothing. Nothing happens............ever. You get to the point where you actually loathe the characters and hope they get picked off one by one by a disgruntled postal employee. Christ, is it slow.

Highly fictionalized...but the Edmund Kemper scenes throughout were pretty spooky. Binge-watching Daredevil now (side note: this flu going around gives you lots of time to binge-watch. But don't get it.) There's actually quite a bit about it that I don't care for, but it has some truly excellent visual and sound production work. absolutely loved mindhunter. loved it. i'm only a couple of episodes in, but the german show Dark seem to be pretty fantastic. On 12/27/2017 at 9:26 AM, LeGOATski said: Dark was good. If you're really into time-travel stories, it's excellent. It's German, though, with English voice-overs. I usually hate that. I want to hear their real voices and I'll gladly read the subtitles. I got over it pretty fast for this show, however. It's good. Jim and Andy is great. It's a documentary on about Carrey playing the role of Andy Kaufman. They're both crazy. same here with dark. i'd much rather read the subtitles. i wasn't sure if there was an option to do that, but i just ended up getting used to it.

Steptide Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 If you can handle sub titles, El chapo is awesome. The thing I can't figure out about this show is if it's American made or not. 99% of the show is sub titles because it takes place in Mexico and other Spanish speaking countries , but then occasionally an American character is in it and just speaks his part in English. It's kind of strange. Either way, the story is awesome 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shark has been jumped Also watched Wormwood. Almost gave up during the first episode and was ready by the end of the second. But I stuck with it and enjoyed it overall. You just have to deal with the random flips between re-enactments and interviews and wait for the story to play out.

Kelly the Dog Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 For me, Peaky Blinders. Ozark. Rake is awesome. Jack Taylor was kind of a cool one. Great character. Longmire wasn't bad.

Royale with Cheese Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Narcos is the best show on Netflix. The first 3 seasons so far have been awesome. I would put it up just below Breaking Bad when it came to the first 3 seasons. Still not at the BB level (my favorite of all time) but it's not too far off. Just started Ozark and loved the first 2 episodes. Wasn't expecting this from a Jason Bateman show. Atypical was actually pretty good too. I have always liked Michael Rappaport. It's basically about an autistic teen boy who is ready to start picking up women but he's so socially awkward that it's funny. Drama in the household with every member of the family.

Kelly the Dog Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 While I do understand that not everyone cares whatsoever or bothers to know the difference, but I think there should be some difference made in the thread about what is a "Netflix Show" and what is a show shown on Netflix. Rectify isn't a Netflix show as many if not most know. I suppose the viewing of these shows is no different whether or not it is a Netflix show, but it still matters. Plus, there is a difference between shows that have included their runs on their networks and reruns on those networks are still being seen, as opposed to shows like the ones I mentioned I liked, "Rake" and "Jack Taylor," that were shown in other countries and we wouldn't really know of or likely see them without Netflix. There are even some disputes about whether a show like Peaky Blinders is a Netflix show or not, but at least they had something to do with it, rather than just purchasing the licensing for a few months or years like most of the stuff on the service. Ozark, Flaked, Punisher, Daredevil, Peaky Blinders, are all Netflix shows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freaks & Geeks (Netflix) Ozark (Netflix) Mindhunter (Netflix) Red Oaks (Amazon) Sneaky Pete (Amazon) Manhunt: The Unabomber Story (Netflix) The Office (Netflix) Peaky Blinders (Netflix) Also...I highly recommend the "Yahoo Video Guide" app. Basically you tell the app what services you have (HBO, Cinemax, Netflix, etc) and then when you are looking for a movie or show you type it in and then it tells you on what services it is available, if at all. So you don't have to keep scrolling scrolling and searching. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
