I don't remember if I or anyone else has brought up The Good Place starting Kristen Bell and Ted Danson, but I'm re-watching it and it's a good one for sure. Netflix has the first season, I don't have cable so I'm not sure about the status of future seasons.

Wind River is a murder thriller that takes place in Wyoming native land and features the bow guy from Avengers. Honestly not a bad movie at all. Very basic premise with a good cast, including some great Native American actors that helped set it apart from so many other murder movies.

There have been times where I wanted to catch up on something only to find they're hosting only the final 3 episodes of last season, a month later the full series is up, then a couple weeks later it's only the last half of the recent season.

Season 2 of A Series of Unfortunate Events is up on Netflix. Season 1 was very good. Excellent score, amazing set design, and Neil Patrick Harrison is amazing as Count Olaf. If you've read the books, this show does an admirable job of translating its tone to television. I didn't appreciate the 2004 Jim Carrey movie, but this show I am in love with. If you are alarmed by perilous occurrences, perturbed by menacing authority figures, or dismayed by unhappy fates, look away, dear viewer.

My wife and I recently binged Tabula Rasa. It's a Flemish thriller series, takes a bit to get going but it has a few very nice and very unexpected twists. The story is about a woman with short-term memory loss who wakes up in a psych ward being a main suspect in a missing person case for a person she doesn't even recognize. It's told in a mix of flashbacks and present-time events, and nothing's certain until the final episode.

In contrast, I think the problem with Hulu is that they started with the goal of simply being a replacement for watching live TV in real-time, so they don't care if they only have random episodes even if that's worse than not having the show at all because it's confusing to users

I just watched Quebecois zombie horror movie Ravenous and it did a lot with a little, with some sincerely freaky zombies, and also with an increasing and unsettling level of general weirdness. It's pretty sparse and I'm still not sure what everything was about (But I'm the kind of dipshit who actually needs everything spelled out most of the time) but if you're a zombie lover like me and have seen most of the other stuff already it's probably worth a look.

I think I posted about them before but the Bad Ben trilogy on Amazon is a relatively okay series. It's incredibly low budget and it's about Great Value Frank Reynolds buying a haunted house. Well he made a webseries continuation where he's a paranormal investigator and it's baaaaaaaaaad. I've seen flash animations on Newgrounds that look better. Edit: yeah just finished it I do not advise watching this because it's just horrible on many many levels. Len has a new favorite as of 04:52 on Apr 10, 2018 |

I hadn’t heard of Midnight in Paris prior to it coming onto Netflix, but I liked it. Cool twilight zone sort of story by Woody Allen about a guy who goes back in time to 1920’s Paris to meet the great artists of the time. It’s silly but fun.

I like cheesy dance movies and I've seen pretty much everything Netflix has to offer. Step Sisters has the framework for every movie about a ragtag group of underdogs preparing for a competition. However it has some interesting things to say about race relations and cultural appropriation. It's freshman-level philosophy but much more than one can expect from these types of movies. Plus it's actually pretty funny at times.

I missed some of the beginning, and was baffled for a while. It was really kind of neat. This is the same way I discovered Flight of the Conchords, by the way, so now I only watch shows if I've accidentally seen them on HBO in a hotel, first.

Just finished Killing of a Sacred Deer which just got added. It's real hosed up. I liked it a lot but it's going to be devisive. Closest thing I can compare to is mother!, so I'd say it depends on how that one landed for you.

If you've watched the several recent British crime serials on Netflix, Amazon now has Black Spot (Zone Blanche), a French serial about crimes in an isolated forest town in France, pursued by the Gendarmerie. Overall pretty enjoyable, with a heavy rural flavor that reminds me of the Welsh crime serial Y Gwyll (Hinterland) on Netflix.

You know what, I don't want to feel lovely and unfulfilled after watching this movie. There's real character development! Am I going to get addicted to it or something? It's eminently rewatchable! Okay well I don't want to watch something that goes on and on forever. It's a tight 96 minutes. It's not going to make me want to get high is it? It's even better when you're stoned! Sounds kinda expensive. It's available on Netflix right now. Hmm. You don't want it! I think I kinda want it. Okay, but just this once. Hit play.

Man I got through the first episode of American Gods today because I just finished the book and liked it enough. One episode of the show almost ruined it for me entirely. How did this get a 92 on RT? It’s terrible.

I kind of remember a scene in a cemetery about blowjobs that went on way to long that I zoned out of entirely. I thought the first few episodes were good, and I was impressed at how reading the book didn't affect my enjoyment of the show. But I did just stop watching it, so I guess it didn't leave a big impression. Happy People is a Werner Herzog documentary that was off of Netflix for a long time, but it's back. It's about fur trappers in the middle of no where, Siberia.

Jesus Christ stop describing what a blowjob is. Also I think the main kicker was just that I didn’t like the acting of the guy who plays Shadow. I really liked his character in the book and I feel like they whiffed it.

I agree with that, Shadow in the book felt pretty defeated and rudderless in the beginning rather than... 'irritable' and self-absorbed? I'm trying to remember what I liked, now. I think I liked a lot of the other casting - Ian McShane as a stand-out, and how they pivoted the Tech Kid to be something more with the times than an acne-riddled hacker nerd from 1999.
