imo, American Vandal is the best original series made by Netflix so far

WHat! How? The trailer makes it look so good. I haven't had the time to get past the first 10 minutes I watched yesterday.
― Yerac, Tuesday, 18 September 2018 03:10 (five years ago) link
it’s boring, stilted, the dialogue is unnatural...it doesnt feel like people, fictional or otherwise.
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 18 September 2018 04:17 (five years ago) link
so i watched season 2 of atypical
i liked how the last few episodes turned into something more than autism
casey exploring her curiosity for women, listening to cure records, sam being just an awkward guy who turns into a philosopher with so much insight, which admittedly is a pretty common archetype in movies about weird high school loners turned thinkers
it definitely feels like something beyond autism, which is probably for the better

also no idea what cyrano means but i saw the sierra burgess trailer and it looks like they make all her problems revolve around her being overweight
not sure how much of a (good, series long) show you can make out of that premise alone tbh
― F# A# (∞), Tuesday, 18 September 2018 04:42 (five years ago) link
it’s a movie fyi :)cyrano = cyrano de bergerac ie ugly person uses attractive person to woo similarly attractive personor the movie Roxanne if the literary reference still doesnt track

oh my bad
― F# A# (∞), Tuesday, 18 September 2018 04:58 (five years ago) link
i thought the trailer looked terrible tbh, but was curious cause... Noah Centineo.
apart from the fat=unattractive message, it's also about catfishing?
― Roz, Tuesday, 18 September 2018 05:24 (five years ago) link
well, cyrano is basically about that too.

i watched a teen romcom, called alex strangelove, about a high school kid that was in the closet. i wouldn't recommend it highly but it has good things about it, notably one actress (the girlfriend) who i thought was great, she reminded me of alison brie. her name is madeleine weinstein and her imdb bio ends:
She would also like everyone to know she is not related to Harvey Weinstein.

The 100 is hardcore for a CW show. Five episodes in and there's a 20 minute torture scene.
― louise ck (milo z), Wednesday, 19 September 2018 04:47 (five years ago) link
I simply love the 100. Skot isn’t here right now to back me up. I love how it gets right to the point in a very unscreenwriterly way, I love how casually gay and matriarchal it is, I forgive it readily for its many idiocies.

speaking of terrible trailers... I really want to check out Maniac cause I love Emma Stone and Cary Fukunaga is involved but god, it looks like some horribly pretentious crap.

Hill House, btw, is being handled by Mike Flanagan, who knows what he is doing. And Gugino is awesome.
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 20 September 2018 13:43 (five years ago) link
Maniac is apparently pretty good. will watch when high.
― akm, Thursday, 20 September 2018 13:53 (five years ago) link
i'll watch hill house. The source material has already been desecrated by what's his name so it's not like there's anywhere to go but up
― cheese is the teacher, ham is the preacher (Jon not Jon), Thursday, 20 September 2018 14:09 (five years ago) link
Just started Maniac. Who else is in on this?

tapped out after three episodes. Felt like warmed over Charlie Kaufmann and I don't like looking at Jonah Hill's face
― Number None, Wednesday, 26 September 2018 07:02 (five years ago) link
i’m going to give it ago
― Squeaky Fromage (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 26 September 2018 14:12 (five years ago) link
a go
i hope you enjoy it alot

I loved the recent season of Atypical. Very heartwarming and witty. The kids (all of them) stole the show. Not sure how representative it was of life with ASD but thoroughly enjoyed it nonetheless.
― badg, Wednesday, 26 September 2018 15:43 (five years ago) link
damn Jonah Hill looks 34 like Alex Jones looks 40

I watched six episodes of GLOW and found it quite bad. Not completely terrible, just not good and not believable and not very interesting in its badness and I think it's probably best to just not continue. I like Alison Brie a lot and she does the absolute best with what she's given.
― FRE SHA VAC ADO (jed_), Thursday, 27 September 2018 01:36 (five years ago) link
it's probably worth noting that I've never watched a netflix original that i thought was good.
― FRE SHA VAC ADO (jed_), Thursday, 27 September 2018 01:38 (five years ago) link
Oh, I thought Bloodline was fairly good for 3/4 of a season.

My standard apology for posting about Amazon Prime on here, but I just saw they have Theory of Obscurity, a doc about The Residents, and Arise, the classic Sub-Genius video.

Wind River is good but realllly fuckin' grim, as you'd expect given the premise. Like grim enough to deserve a warning imo
― Nhex, Thursday, 27 September 2018 03:52 (five years ago) link
yeah agreei had lowish expectations but it was really affecting & well done

So Sierra Burgess. It started out well but totally fell apart in the last half hour.
― Yerac, Thursday, 27 September 2018 11:32 (five years ago) link
i feel like netflix is pumping out entirely too much original content these days. their ratio of hits to misses seems awfully fucking low now.
― akm, Thursday, 27 September 2018 13:33 (five years ago) link
Their original content has always been largely poor. There's just more of it now
― Number None, Thursday, 27 September 2018 13:44 (five years ago) link
I made it part way through episode 2 of Maniac before punching out. Godspeed to anyone who continues...
― Elvis Telecom, Thursday, 27 September 2018 15:18 (five years ago) link
think i mentioned it before but a friend of mine who worked with Netflix says they want to premiere a new original series or film every single day of the year. not sure if that includes international distribution of series from foreign territories or strictly Netflix originals but either way it's a ton of new content. i can't even keep up w/it. i usually check out of streaming originals pretty swiftly if they're not really good to great (cf. Mindhunter, GLOW, Bosch, etc), i don't have patience for "kinda okay" or "sorta decent"shows anymore and that's 95% of them.
― omar little, Thursday, 27 September 2018 15:58 (five years ago) link
Anyone else watching the Innocents? It's not very good, but now I've watched 5 (of 8) and feel I should stick with it to the grim death.
