Uncle Joe Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I am going to have to keep this on this on the radar for Netflix March 16th. Wild Wild Country six part series: Produced by Mark and Jay Duplass ("Togetherness"), "Wild Wild Country" is directed by Chapman Way and Maclain Way, who made "The Battered Bastards of Baseball," the entertaining documentary about the late, great Portland Mavericks baseball team. "Wild Wild Country" goes back to the early 1980s, when a philosophy professor-turned guru from India called Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh and his followers bought land in Oregon's Wasco County. Rajneesh's chief of staff, Ma Anand Sheela, was the organizer, and thousands of crimson-clad followers showed up to live and work on the commune.

The Poojer Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Just watched "A Futile & Stupid Gesture", the movie about National Lampoon in the 70's( and briefly 80's). Great cast, Will Hader and Martin Mull are great as old and young Doug Kenney. The movie was done very well. Loved Lampoon in my days of ute. Never knew the back story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a similar vein, I also really enjoyed the documentary about the Dana Carvey show. I think its on Hulu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never knew the back story I saw half of this Sunday until I got called away. It’s the first thing I’m going to watch tonight. Loved the first half. Im sure it’s been mentioned already, but I really enjoyed the first season of The Mist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heitz Posted March 23, 2018 Author Share Posted March 23, 2018 If I knew how to change thread titles, I'd add Amazon Prime and premium networks to the thread title. Regardless, it ain't Netflix, but has anyone been watching Counterpart on Starz? Holy crap, best show on TV - my mind is seriously blown... JK Simmons is my new hero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst Marvel product yet, IMO. The 1st season was slow, but Killgrave was a good character. This season started slow and never got going.

Max Fischer Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I highly recommend Netflix’s Tabula Rasa. Belgian 9-part mini series. Good writing and acting. Wouldn’t be right to say anything about the plot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fetou Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 1. Bojack Horseman 2. Trailer Park Boys (the original pre-netflix exclusive seasons only, they beat that horse to death) 3. Narcos 4. Alias Grace 5. Godless 6. Stranger Things 7. Mindhunter 8. The Punisher 9. The End of the !@#$ing World (not great, a bit irritating to begin, but decent one and done short series) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent stories and acting. I,Claudius good. - Ozark (Netflix) This one surprised me. Breaking Bad is my all-time drama favorite but Ozark has a chance to rival it. All characters are good, great writing and plot twists. - Stranger (Netflix) Korean crime drama. It's a commitment but well worth the time. Very intricate and plot driven. Yes, subtitles, but a cool look into Korea. - Goliath (Amazon) Well done Billy Bob Thornton law/crime miniseries. They use the potentially boring cliche of drunk lawyer to great affect. Thornton is excellent. - Marvelous Mrs. Maziel (Amazon) My overall best show of 2017. Everything is great, especially the star. The eight one-hour episodes fly by. - Broadchurch (Netflix). Superior English small-town mysteries. Three seasons, very well done. Tennett and Oliva Coleman deliver. - Hotel Beau Séjour (Netflix). Belgian miniseries. Stay with me, murdered teenager tries to solve her own murder. Dark, suspenseful and well written. - The Break (Netflix). Another Belgian miniseries. Damaged detective goes home. Good mystery. - The Bridge (not sure where). Danish/Swedish mystery. Great characters/mystery. Fun to see the two countries interact. Copied many times, always poorly. - Trapped. Iceland. Remote (aren't they all?) harbor town cut off by blizzard. Police look to solve murders. Good look into Iceland. - Happy Valley (Netflix). Can't praise this show enough. Excellent characters and mystery. English mid-lands. Great writing and absorbing mystery. Two seasons. - The Good Place (NBC/Netflix/Hulu). Truly great comedy, completely original, smart and unpredictable. Everything and everyone is excellent. I used this list for two series to watch. Not successful on The Bridge, at least not the Danish version. I found it I think on Netflix and at the start of the show they showed an exit for Paisano Drive. I thought what would the exit that leads to the softball fields in El Paso have to do with this bridge story. Well, I guess the original The Bridge was good enough to be copied in different countries I think 3 or 4 times. The US version is between El Paso and Jaurez. I really wanted to watch the Danish version, so I passed on that. Looks like they are also doing a version at the Chunnel. I ended up watching The Stranger. Your description was right on. Very good, may be the most intricate plot I have ever seen.. A bit drawn out. I would like to see a US version of this made although I am not sure how the cultural differences would affect the story. I'll continue to use your list as I had already enjoyed Happy Valley, Broadchurch and Mrs. Maziel. So I think your tastes align with mine.

eball Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 We just blew through "The End of the F***ing World" on Netflix last night. One season, eight episodes, but the episodes are less than 30 min. so it's basically like watching a long movie. Dark comedy, I thought it was excellent.

Wayne Cubed Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I watched all 8 episodes of Flint Town. Really good documentary on the Flint police department from end of 2015 to 2017. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
