Yes, those are shows that Netflix owns the domestic distribution rights to.

They do use the term "original" very loosely.

Have any of yous guys used the various VR apps that are available by Hulu, Netflix, etc? I’m intrigued by streaming things in virtual reality, but I have no idea if those settings are fun to use or if they are more of a flash-in-the-pan kind of deal where it is neat to try but is otherwise not practical.

I think if netflix funds something's creation it makes perfect sense, but taking something that aired elsewhere and buying exclusive rights in another region is really pushing the term "Netflix Original".

I have, and imho they are total crap. VR is really cool if something is created in a 3D engine but I have been thoroughly underwhelmed by VR Video. It's basically just a flat usually stretched out, out of scale blurry 360 image that looks like terrible. veni veni veni fucked around with this message at 03:06 on Dec 5, 2017 |

Phone based like the GearVR is awesome for watching Netflix while laying down in bed or something, but in pretty much any other situation the resolution trade off isn't worth it.

A decade ago, I remember people constantly aaking "Why do they call this movie a Scifi Original if Scifi didn't produce it?" Same answer, they owned the domestic distribution rights.

I finally decided to start watching Patriot, and it does indeed rule. I'm on episode 6 now. I like Dennis a lot, and Leslie is also great. I like the main guy too, but something about the way he talks kind of irritates me. I'm only doing the free trial of Prime because I'm kind of broke right now, but I'll see what else I can fit in before it ends. It looks like I can also do a week-long trial of Showtime, so hopefully I'll be able to get through all of the new Twin Peaks too.

I hope y'all have watched Netflix's new film noir short, Meridian. it's 12 minutes long. And it makes very little sense. But that's for a particular reason - it was designed to include sequences that specifically screw around with streaming video compression codecs, things like smoke, sharp contrasts of light and color that move fast, water, areas of different resolution in the frame at the same time, etc. The purpose is to give codec designers a reference movie to test their new algorithms against so that streaming can get better. There's actually no real reason to watch it. Netflix says they might do a season 2!

The series based on The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, a darker and more Satan-filled remake of Sabrina The Teenage Witch, is now exclusively on Netflix instead of The CW. Two seasons have been ordered. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/riverdale-shoot-sabrina-moves-netflix-2-season-order-1060852

The new GUI for Prime on the PS4 is much better than before, but they omitted the feature where you can remove films from your to-watch list, which is reprehensible

It could stand on its own, but leaves enough loose strings that could be revisited. At least that was how I viewed it, leaving the door open for another season. Sorry for being cryptic, trying not to spoil things.

Understand that one. Unfortunately (and I'm guilty of this) one can reach the sunk cost fallacy. Three seasons in and "I'm not giving up on it now" type of thing. For me it was 'Sons of Anarchy'. I had to see it to the bitter end. Along with 'True Detective' season 2. Both of those were brutal, but I had to do it.

I did that with Heroes, and I never even really liked it when people said it was good. I said I would never do that again. Then I did it with Sons of Anarchy, which was somehow worse than Heroes.

SoA was so loving bad. It was made by a guy who worked on The Shield, but he learned all the wrong lessons from his time there. The finale was so loving bad. The moment everyone was waiting for and it looked like a loving Wile E. Coyote cartoon.

When watching SoA it helps to view it as a comedy. That's the only way to make it through. It was probably the most ludicrous shitpile of a show ever. Sutter sure is full of himself. And to think he dragged his wife Peggy Bundy into that other series where she was a witch and no one could understand what the gently caress anyone was saying. Last I read he was trying to resurrect SoA focusing on the Mayans. Good god. e: Yeah, ramming yourself into a semi driven by a former cast member/friend was indeed a Wile E Coyote moment.

Sagal's death was so poorly done too, it was laughably bad. Sutter actually did manage to build up a lot of different compelling plot lines over the course of the show and it's amazing just how few of them went anywhere or had satisfying conclusions. The last successful arc that had a solid beginning middle and end happened like 4 whole seasons before the show actually ended.

With the FBI agent? My favorite of Sutter's masterful writing was the cliffhanger when the bar blew up due to some explosives strapped to a beer keg. When going through the finances the next season they realize their auto repair place is somewhat keeping things afloat. I'm all for suspension of disbelief, but this small town is more dangerous than Somalia.

I think most people would agree that the Agent Stahl arc was probably the last really solid one they did. When I think about it, Sutter's tendency to have the Sons repeatedly in these dire situations only for the twist to be that they had planned it in advance as an ambush all along could probably be traced back to that arc. He kept going back to that well over and over again, maybe because that season was so well received. Basebf555 fucked around with this message at 20:36 on Dec 6, 2017 |

I did the like the story line in the second to last season where Jax comes face to face with some of the damage his father's reckless suicide caused, the girl who lost her mother in the resulting pile up. Which made all the better when Jax decided to kill himself in the same reckless way, even going so far as to turn the suicide of a mass murderer into a blunt Jesus allegory.

Basically everything that related to Jax's personal growth over the course of the series was ruined or contradicted within a few episodes. Which, if it weren't Sutter and the rest of the show didn't stand as evidence to the contrary, would almost make me think that was the point. But no, we can be sure that Sutter thought he was crafting this multi-faceted, conflicted scoundrel with a heart of gold but he just couldn't help undercutting that constantly for the sake of whatever seemed most badass in the moment.
