Timby posted:Essentially, yes. Netflix is primarily a distribution company and still has a pretty small production apparatus (all the Marvel shows, for example, were fully produced by Marvel Television) From a few pages ago but does this mean that Daredevil, Punisher etc will be off Netflix when Disney Netflix starts?

I’m trying to watch Who Is America and SBC is still funny as hell, but I almost cannot handle watching poo poo that is this awkward anymore.

I liked Who is America, but there were way too many segments that petered out into nothing or SBC didn’t string them along long enough and they got wise. There’s enough great material for a two hour movie there, but everything else feels like a deleted scene.

Only watched 3 eps, but The Dick Cheney segment and the one where he got some republican politician to pull his pants down and try to touch him with his butt are probably the 2 best things he's ever done. I always get uncomfortable when he's just loving with bumpkins, but my god he found some really racist ones this time. It's pretty hard to feel bad for them. Also the NPR guy is ace.

A Thousand Junkies on Hulu is not like, life changing or anything, but it scratches that "90s indie slacker movie" itch really well. Great soundtrack too

How's You? I've seen some positive buzz about it but there was also a lot of talk surrounding Maniac and I dropped that after three eps.Lycus posted:Derry Girls: What was the attack at the end? The trailer was funny enough to add to my list, but is it any good overall?

Lycus posted:Derry Girls: What was the attack at the end? Not a specific event. My view, which according to that interview is what the creator intended, is that it's a moment where the actual nature of living in NI during that time sometimes boils over into their lives -- the grandfather who has been antagonizing the dad the entire series puts his hand on his shoulder, etc. Definitely a book-end to the opening scene where the news announcer talks about a bomb on a bridge and the mother seems to be emotionally reacting to it, but is actually just annoyed that the kids who have been cooped up with her all summer might not go back to school that day. A poignant end scene to cap off a series that seems to be going in a more dramatic direction, though I'm sure series 2 is quite funny as well. If you're sitting on watching this show; don't, it's very good and short.

My Irish in-laws were also trying to figure out which bombing it was when we watched it, so don't feel like too much of an outsider.

First season and a half, great. But it kinda shits the bed on executing the concept as it goes on. I watched it more for the scenario/situation, less for the characters

I was describing the show to my girlfriend the other day and realized that I couldn't even remember watching season 2. Season 1 is memorable just for the shock factor and there's a lot going on in season 3. I would have to look up a synopsis to remember what the hell happened in season 2.

Without looking it up, all I can recall is Juliana tooling around with the Resistance a bit, the stuff with Smith’s son, and the finale where they reveal Juliana’s alt-sister. It’s a very forgettable season. It doesn’t even dig into the world-building all that much like S1 and S3 did. ed: Oh and Tagomi going over to his alt-family for a few episodes. That was S2, right?

It’s much closer to a Coen brothers style farce like Burn after Reading and Big Lebowski.

Still cheaper than cable and has more stuff I want to watch too. I'm sure if they keep raising the price every year I will eventually reach a point where it's not worth it but for now I'm personally cool with anything below $25 a month.
