Didn't like Altered Carbon after one episode, kept watching but good god it just got unbearable by episode 7. Not gonna finish.

i'm on e7 and i love it

to anyone who liked dirty money series needs to seriously watch the enron documentary on netflix(old) and also co out to your library and pick up INSIDE JOB the documentary.

why? why that muhc money for him? what the ****, who the **** else was bidding for him? sure as **** wasnt HBO

You can't have what ever body you want tho. The good bodies cost the big bucks, this is one of the main themes of the show.

My main gripe is that they have many of the tropes of the future world explained by someone with a really heavy Spanish accent. So if you are explaining future world you often have to use future world terminology for world building, a lot of the time I could not understand what Spanish cop was saying and it did not help when she was using language unique to the show.

I read a wiki on the plot and it helped me appreciate the show a lot more.

looool just chalk that take up to another "WHY DO WE HAVE TO HAVE SO MANY WOMEN IN TV?" /gamergate

i found it interesting that several hundred years in the future peoples clothes havent changed at all

Just finished AC. When i was half way through I thought it was about 7-10 I'd say its actually a 9/10 looking back on it. Really enjoyed it.

are you really asking? because that article actually explains that

thought he was awesome in it. also liked the female lead. i dont know what i think of the end. i cant decide if i kinda like it or absolutely hate it.

which probably means its decent??

How did you continue after E1?

I’ve never been nearly as disinterested or unimpressed with any other Netflix original. Absolute trash.

mortified nation was amazing. no idea if its a netflix original but its a must watch

Altered Carbon was very good though the very end was weak/dumb.

And while that guy's weird nitpick about too many hot chicks being in the show was, uh, weird, it has merit.

This is a deep, deep spoiler and do not click it unless you have finished the show:

Seven Seconds seems fine after 1st 2 episodes, will probably binge it.

haha, good point

Is Babylon Berlin really worth reading subtitles? My concern is that 1929 is an exact date that seems only interesting to a German history buff....

Babylon Berlin had me won over after ep 1 but I ended up quitting on it midway thru ep 4. It's got some good stuff, good production values and I liked the snapshot of important historical events unfolding, but it was going too slow for me. I think it's a little long-winded at 16 eps.

This is probably more likely to occur than shows which suggest that people will be wearing weird, funky, "futuristic" outfits.

I would also imagine that advances in clothing in the next 200 years will relate more to durability, stain resistance, etc., versus reliving some 1950's, Sci-Fi vision of what the "future" will look like.

2 episodes in and I like it but I didn't realize it was 16 episodes.

Nor did I. I’m a binge watcher, so it would have to be solid gold, even for a historical drama buff like myself.

A few weeks ago I started to watch season 1 of surviving Escobar alias JJ. Watched around 5 episodes then realized the season was 60 episodes. Snap quit

Mute is getting terrible, terrible reviews, and I don't know why. It's good! Not great, but acceptable, certainly better than Bright or Cloverfield Paradox.

It has sort of a bizarre mismatch of premise where it being the future doesn't matter at all, and the guy being the titular "Mute" also doesn't matter at all, and the bizarre shoe-in to make it part of a cinematic universe comes out of nowhere for no reason...

but the core plot is solid and Theroux and Rudd absolutely chew the scenery to bits every scene.

It has a better Metacritic score (35) than Bright (25), but wow Cloverfield Paradox having a 37 (???) is just baffling.

new TERRACE HOUSE season out march 13

great opportunity for everyone to watch the previous season ("in the city", ignore "aloha state")

give it a couple episodes and you'll be hooked, this is what reality tv should be

I haven't looked it up, but here's my guess:

Bright had a real movie star in it and had a super high budget, so it was reviewed like it was a theatrical release, and it was reviewed by nearly everyone.

Mute is a smaller film that mixed genres so it only gets reviewed by the more dedicated review sites and idk reading the bad reviews a lot of people seemed to feel betrayed that some of the characters in this grimy story of the underworld were bad people. Enormous missing the point. Like it's not a great movie, I have some complaints*, but it's absolutely the best of those three.

But CP? That wasn't a real movie, it was a marketing stunt, but it was also a proper sci-fi movie. So some of those reviews are coming from nerd sites, not film review sites, and those people have straight up no standards, they fanboy.

*The biggest issue, and it's legitimately a problem, is that it's a mystery with very little foreshadowing or clues. There's just an investigation that doesn't seem to be getting any closer until in the last 10 minutes of the movie bad guys start giving Bond villain monologues explaining the plot for no real reason. It makes sense and all, but it doesn't really flow in a satisfying way, it seems like the movie couldn't figure out how to have the guy solve the mystery organically so they just tell you what happened.
