Brooker did a series of year end specials for BBC. This sounds like similar.

If you had two weeks left of Disney+ what would you watch besides The Mandalorian?

Any Star Wars **** you haven't seen. Solo and Rogue One are amazing. If you can work through the janky first season, The Clone Wars series is actually really good. Anything Marvel you haven't seen, while phase one stuff is kinda lame-- the whole thing really gets going in Winter Soldier. Even if you don't like Marvel movies, you should enjoy Guardians of the Galaxy or Thor Ragnarok.

Simpsons, Princess Bride, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Willow, Tron Legacy, Coco, Muppets Treasure Island, WALL-E, John Carter, The Rocketeer, The Incredibles, Treasure Planet, Brain Games is fun to watch with the family, and there are a lot of good nature documentaries.

Clone Wars and Rebels are both excellent if you are into the greater SW universe. If you plan to watch the future SW series, I recommend you watch both as background. Mandalorian makes better sense having watched them recently.

CW can feel a bit repetitive with the battle scenes when binged. The 20 minute episodes fly by, often in 3 episode story arcs.
If it looks like too many episodes, read the wiki episode summaries up to Season 5, and start watching there.

So, if you are good at poker you shouldn't watch Rounders. If you are a pilot you shouldn't watch Top Gun. If you are a lawyer you shouldn't watch A Few Good Men.

Got it.

Watched Utopia(British version) on Prime and it was great. I really liked how the hardcore ruthless stuff the bad guys would do was so easy because the end game was so important to them.

At this point it's well known that lawyers can't handle the truth. It's been stipulated.

i think netflix is trying to put out too many movies too fast so most all of them stink. they are just something to watch. a few are good but hard to find an accurate rating of them that isnt biased.
and i dont want to have to research a movie to death before i watch it,
and miss when they used to have each movie rated with stars. wasnt the best but gave a decent idea what you were getting into.

my default assumption is that a neflix original movie will suck, and a netflix original TV show will be good.

The star ratings were bullshit anyway. They pulled them when people called them out on it.

If you're a coke dealer you shouldn't watch Blow.

the star ratings were better than nothing which is what we have now. you have to google it and go through worthless ratings.
and what a pain if you are trying to find something good.

But they were totally arbitrary. Every Netflix original had 5 stars and all the others were based on an algorithm that made no sense. You could have two identical Netflix accounts that both watched exactly the same things— one would show 2 stars and the other would show 4 stars for the same unwatched program.

It wasn’t “better than nothing.” It was just nonsense.
