Netflix....TV series offerings.

So many times I've said something like "how can his pistol hold 23 rounds?" Whilst Mrs. B says "That 50's era kitchen is perfect!"

Ha! That's us too!


I forgot to mention, we also watched The Hateful Eight. Typical gruesome ultra-violent Tarantino, and great fun!

One movie I wished I never watched but would be mad at myself if I hadn't seen it. That's the hallmark of Tarantino I guess.

3 part series really digging into the life of Jeffrey Epstein. Really engaging but now I feel like I have more questions than answers. The guy is a college dropout but is entrusted with great wealth of the uber rich and becomes a Billionaire just from making them money, all in a 30 year career. The greatest swindlers in Wall Street history never approached that amount of wealth, yet this guy who is constantly busy with underage girls does it legally? Hmmm...I'm thinking he was more of a sex trafficker than anything because no "investors" are coming for his fortune, $577 million at his death.

My wife was disagreeing with the "conspiracy theorists" saying his death wasn't a suicide, um LOL. You don't die by your own hand when you got enough dirt on high profile people to buy your way out of the slammer.

Watching Marvel's The Iron Fist on Netflix right now. It's alright. Good enough to keep me watching more episodes.

Just started watching the 1st season of Warrior Nun, so far it's ok after 1 episode but it had better kick it up in the next 1-2 or i'm deleting it.

[Corbi]

Finished watching the 1st season which was 10 episodes of Warrior Nun and I liked it, there were a few parts where it slogged down a bit which happens to most shows but overall it's well done and the ending left you wanting for more as it had a hell of a twist.

New season of "The Dark" started, now on top of 3 time lines there are 2 separate universes. Requires some paying attention.
I have been bingeing on "Penny Dreadful", I'm on the 2nd season now. Basically take all the Victorian era characters and novels and mash them together: Dracula and Dr Frankenstein, Dorian Gray and Dr. Jackyll. The result is a bit all over the place but it keeps me watching. Season 2 is a bit too "woke" for my taste (why oh why do they have to stick woke bullchit everywhere these days?) but I'll manage.

We finished it last Thursday night. It gets even more complicated before it's done.

I won't ruin it for you, but some things to look for to help you know what world things are happening in if you haven't already figured it out: Jonas's world he wears the yellow raincoat. Martha's world she wears it. In Martha's world everything is reversed; a mirror image of Joans's world. Look at the house, the scar on her face, the entrance to the cave, etc. Probably more clues I missed. Also Martha's world seems to be foggy a lot. I'll stop there but think of these differences when you get to the last couple episodes. They did a good job of helping the viewer with visual cues.

Good stuff!

Currently watching "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" on Netflix. This series never gets old. It always cracks me up. Will Smith is the best.

I'm on the 2nd season of Hell on Wheels.

It's a gritty series about building a cross country railroad after the Civil War. Got freed slaves, North and South soldiers, Irish, Scotts all trying to work together whilst being attacked by various Indian tribes. It's not a happy, politically correct history lesson, it's pretty gory and shocking. Staging, sets, acting all 10/10. Gonna binge this until it jumps the shark.

New season of "Lucifer" started on Netflix. Gawd I love that chit.

[LisaSkinnoble]

I have really been enjoying Ratched. Very different from the film. The clothes, accessories, sets, are fabulous! Strong mostly female cast including Judy Davis and Amanda Plummer who are terrific.

Some scenes are pretty creepy and gruesome, and I tend to watch those through splayed fingers.

Mrs. B is enjoying this, I couldn't get into it.

I'm rewatching The Tudors, talk about amazing clothes, outfits and sets, that budget must have been a small fortune just for the jewels.

Almost done with season 1 of Bloodline. Omg, it's so good. It was a little slow in the beginning, but the plot takes off after that. Brilliant script and acting. Highly recommend.

I really liked the series,Gloria absolutely loves the clothes the women were wearing and would not shut up about them. Kept having to rewind to watch the scenes lol.

I'm finishing up watching "The Haunting of Bly Manor" and enjoying it quite a bit. This is supposed to be the not-sequel to "The Haunting of Hill House" in the sense it's a completely unrelated story (hauntings aside) but several actors from the 1st season are coming back. Much like each season of "American Horror Story" is done. I loved the 1st season and I am loving the 2nd. Not gory scary horror, more like a tense ghost story.
It's set in an English country estate, the couple that owned it died and left behind 2 adorable/creepy children and their uncle is looking for a live in nanny. It doesn't help that the 1st nanny hired for the job killed herself in the estate pond. Like the 1st season it's well done, with high production value.

Finished the second season of The Umbrella Academy and it was even more wacked & fukked up then the 1st season and I absolutely loved it and cannot wait for the 3rd season which doesn't even start filming until february.

The manhunt series on the olympic park bombing was really good

[sy2502]

+1 for "The Queen's Gambit", very good show.

Probably my favorite Netflix original of all time. I really really felt for Richard Jewell. Will watch again.

If you get a chance watch the movie also, pretty sure directed by eastwood. Mind blown what that guy went through...

It really was and surprised me how much i liked it

Watching Marvel's The Iron Fist on Netflix right now. It's alright. Good enough to keep me watching more episodes.

We liked that one too but it didn't get funded for too many seasons....maybe (2) only.

Has anyone watched "Jean Claude Van Johnson"?.
It was OK but not one I'd revisit anytime soon.
I like JCVD kick-azz movies but he's getting old.
A mini-series and a bit quirky from my POV.
If you're a fan it would be OK one time.

Hope all are doing well.....thanks for chiming in.

Since I typed my reply I started watching it again, already on episode 4 lol, it's THAT good.

[ChazWood]

Do you all ever just wanna kick yourself for not getting in on Netflix at $15/ share?

Or is it just me. Typically once or twice a decade.

[sy2502]

Definitely on my list. I loved the movie too.

Luther on prime is good. It's a British crime drama that gets into some pretty gruesome murders.

Started watching "1983", so far so good. It's a Polish series but you can watch it dubbed in English.
The premise is "we all know 1984 but what came before that?" So it's an alternate modern Poland, and something happened that plunged the country into a dystopian dictatorship. With the excuse of investigating an old crime, the story of what happened is slowly revealed.
Given Poland had both the Nazis and the Soviets, I was curious to see their take on what a modern dictatorship would look like. It's not immediately clear if it's a Nazi or Commie dictatorship, which may in fact be the point, since the 2 boil down to pretty much the same.
For now it seems like an interesting series.

This is on Amazon Prime.

The Americans.

Russian spies planted in America during the Reagan Administration. Acting is great, story is great, what's best is the old-timey spy stuff with tiny reel to reel tape recorders and poison and antidote stuff.

There's a bit of drama as the spies fall in love but have to screw other people in the line of duty.

I'm enjoying it, watched the first season in like a week.
