Netflix is constantly telling me to rate things and I hate it. I don't know if any of you remember, but Netflix used to have a star system. I rated everything I watched, starting when I got disc Netflix back in 2007. One day they just chucked the whole thing in the trash. No warning. Years of ratings, gone. I will never forget that, Netflix. I will never rate anything on your platform again.

Inspector Hound posted:I was a call center agent when this happened, and it did, uh, not get a positive response from customers at large when it was implemented, fwiw I'm sorry you had to go through that. Hopefully 2022 is the year Netflix finally goes down, it's really not doing great right now.

Everyone, including me, wants what we very much can't have: the Netflix of the early 2010's. It was awesome!

I'd been rating things for a decade when they got rid of the star system and I was starting to get spooky good recommendations. Now it's just waving trash in front of my face and insisting I take it like I'm a fat tourist who's just gotten off a cruise ship in a Caribbean port.

I watched Mother/Android today. Woof. Bad dialogue, bad story, lots of choices made that are incomprehensible. Stay away! 2/5 stars.

Weekly releasing has won. Splitting seasons into two parts has won. 2-3 year delays between seasons have won. I hate it all so much but fine, whatever, I can accept it. I'll just stick to bingeing when seasons are over. I just wish it was easier to find out when a season finale of a show is without getting spoiled.

david_a posted:I watched two episodes and enjoyed it, but I got horrible family medical news after that and I’ve been afraid to pick it up again. Does it end up being a terribly depressing show? I don’t need that right now. It's absolutely not a depressing show.

Timby posted:Don't forget that Netflix's CFO recently said "never say never" when asked about putting ads on the service. Netflix is the worst and I can't wait for it to finally fail. I'm looking forward to the One consolidated streaming service, which will presumably have a plus tier that you pay for by giving them your bone marrow and an ad-supported tier which you pay for by giving them your blood plasma.

The depiction of Brida, a character who is given chance after chance at redemption, who simply and stubbornly cannot help repeating self-destructive patterns of behavior and ways of thinking formed by trauma, who just constantly ruins everything, hits a little too close to home for me and some other people.

The Voices actively plays on your existing Ryan Reynolds assumptions. It toys with its audience like a cat with a mouse.

I have a very low level Vizio TV from 4 years ago, and some janky-rear end internet service, and it's incredible the difference between the various apps: Hulu, Apple TV+ - They absolutely hate my TV. They'll play maybe one episode of a show, maybe, then completely poo poo the bed for no reason I can see. HBO MAX, Disney+, Paramount+ - These mostly seem to be friends with my TV, though occasional arguments arise. Netflix, Prime Video - They just play stuff with no backtalk and it's great. No errors, no buffering, no poo poo.

I'll just be watching Hulu on the Vizio for a while and then all of a sudden it'll go "that's all the television there is" and just stop working for an indeterminate amount of time. Completely and totally stop working. I've either got to give up on that movie or show or pull out my tablet/phone and use that. Somewhere around a half hour to 2 hours later Hulu will decide to work again. It's the darndest thing.

nate fisher posted:Servant pretty much answered zero this season. Thankfully next season is the last, but I am starting to wonder if they even truly know the answers. I'm glad I quit watching in mid season 2. I get more grouchy about this crap the older I get. I don't want mysteries, I don't want cliffhangers, I don't want dangling threads, I just want everything wrapped up nice and neat. Real life has enough mysteries and intangibles already, I don't need that in my fiction.

Does Severance have a dangling twist? Is everything wrapped up by the last episode? It sounds really good but if there's some endless mysteries or cliffhangers then fuuuuuuuck that

Ramrod Hotshot posted:"Five Easy Pieces" is on now HBO Max. I've never been particularly intrigued by the description of this movie but it is highly rated and I think jack even got an oscar? Basically should I watch it The best Jack Nicholson movie. He peaked right at the beginning of his career. It drags a little in the middle. But it's definitely worthwhile. Thank you for letting me know it's on HBO!

precision posted:while Severence did indeed end on a banger of a cliffhanger, it also did WAY more with a certain thing than everyone was expecting, so it was very satisfying. basically everyone was expecting something to last like 5 seconds and instead it was the entire finale Someone has to take a stand against cliffhangers, no matter how stupid and pointless their stance is, and that person is me.

Big Mean Jerk posted:There’s no way this happens. What’s far more likely is that Jimmy/Saul finally pushes his gimmick too far, they break up, and she puts distance between them. That opens it up for her to defend him in court in the modern day finale when he inevitably gets caught and shipped back to ABQ for his trial. I like this better

Blockbuster was a cautionary tale about pissing off customers and not adapting to trends and looks like Netflix is going to go out exactly the same way. It's like poetry, it rhymes.
