For anybody that was wondering that MTG doc is called Enter the Battlefield - Life on the Magic: The Gathering Pro Tour. I fully intend to watch this tonight once I've drank a bunch of beer to get properly varnished first. I'm hoping it'll be hilariously peak nerd.

I'm getting a douche chill just thinking about it. And I'm going to watch it.

there were literally two scenes i remember from bojack that were good and one of those scenes was only good because of how it paralleled a scene in a previous season

the rest was cringey and annoying as poo poo

Yeah I'm pretty much in the same place. I think it'll be funny. Worst case it'll be terrible and I'll just switch over to the new season of Peaky Blinders.

I like how in magic the gathering competitions you get disqualified if you don't have genuine cards, so you have to pay the stupid loving amount of money to get the card even though it makes no difference to the game at all

Yeah but in the case of Bojack it's just poorly written so the drama comes off as forced and artificial, whereas the comic bits were actually clever and funny.

I tried watching this show, but the acting was just too stiff and the timing is off. It's like watching a really expensive table-read.

I, too, expect high brow humor from Ashton Kutcher. The show is funny and you read too far into what it is.

Grace & Frankie is just amazing. The cast is just magical.

Also, not PRODUCED by Netflix, but an exclusive: Occupied. What a story writer they have there!

Although the "Russians are the bad guys" is a bit overplayed, the way they crafted it (right next door, lots of experience with petroleum products) is totally believable.

Besides, it's not like Trevor has to go things alone here. He has @Midnight to help guide the way.

I've been watching that Will Arnet show, Flaked. It received mediocre reviews and I didn't give it much of a chance initially but it starts getting insanely good starting with episode 4. I just watched episode 6 and holy poo poo this drama is insane.

I think Bojack Horseman is at its worst when it's satirical as it all feels hamfisted and at least slightly off the mark. The later episodes where it's more black comedy (Sappy melodrama? What?) are much better.

Lady Dynamite is just shrill and obnoxious, and not nearly as funny and clever as it thinks it is. It's like a Seth MacFarlane show that doesn't hate women.

I should probably watch that M:tG documentary but I feel bad enough about myself already.

Netflix provides so much accessibility that quality doesn't matter.

Gonna watch every episode of this bad show just because they're there. All of them. Wow, that was awful. Oh, hey, new season is out, let's watch that too.

I love the show.

If you ignore the obvious Twitter tie-in, the content is actually impressive (writers are top-notch).

And the "three comic competition against each other for fake points" really needed a rebirth after the fifty-billionth time they've revived Who's Line. There's only so many Wayne Brady musical numbers one can stomach in their lifetime!

I think Chris Hardwick is funny as gently caress, enough to go see his geeky rear end live show.

verb the adjective noun

Netflix is the only venue with the ballllls to facilitate Rob Schneider's long-overdue, triumphant return in Real Rob


I used to defend Arrested Development 4 like, "Well, you can't bring back an old show the same way because it will never live up to the memory - I'm impressed they were able to do what they did"

But then Trailer Park Boys comes back doing absolutely nothing differently from before and is still unbelievably funny.

So I don't know about you Arrested Development... When they introduced that new character "Perfecto?" I was like, "Oh man, I can't wait to find out what bullshit wordplay joke is comin outta that."
