Movies/TV shows that don't suck on Netflix

[Mean salto]

^its a show I've always watched when it came out but don't think I've ever watched an episode twice. Did it always have two timelines going right from the start? It's only the start still they could do a time jump still. I guess they've also done enough seasons now that it could also be good to just do something different.

Had a little laugh at the start like is the show actually trolling with all the cops being that goofy. Like they know what dipshits are going to be saying so let's really annoy them

From what I recall it’s always been two timelines about the same case.   S2 I don’t necessarily recall that strongly, but def in the first and the 3rd.   The connection to the native woman murder and the guy who got the tattoo is this season’s version (and whatever beef the two leads had investigating it).   Maybe rather than splitting eps in half they’ll devote a few eps

Hey I am completly out of touch with the new tv shows coming out. Too many things everywhere Last thing I started was Succession and it was 2 years ago. What is a complete banger that came out in the past 3 years ? Drama or Comedy

Thankyou !

Severance, Black Bird, Telemarketers, Life of Crime 1984-2020, Class Action Park

The last 3 are documentaries in and around my home state. While I don’t think you have to be from NJ to enjoy these docs, I think it helps.

New shows just dropped (haven’t seen yet):

Sexy Beast - Paramount+ : prequel series before Spain.   

In the Know - Peacock : new Mike Judge show about an NPR show

Masters of the Air - Apple+ : kinda considered part 3 of Band of Brothers, The Pacific.  Cary Jo Fukunaga heavily involved

Get On Your Knees - Netflix : heard amazing things about this stand up/one woman show from people who saw it live


Criminal Record - Apple + :   Good ol fashioned British police drama

Most recent season of Fargo seemed to be universally enjoyed

Yellowstone entertained me to an extent but wouldn't actually recommend it. However, 1883 is awesome so far after a few episodes in. It's literally like Red Dead Redemption Era settlers trying to cross the country and right now at the beginning they're in Rhodes

Having seen these:


In the Know is legit one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a bit.   Some good Space Ghost Coast to Coast vibes in it


Sexy Beast seems interesting enough.    The Gal casting is pretty solid and I think Don Logan works well enough though it’s kind of a character you don’t necessarily want to know more about to preserve his menace.    Vampire Bill from True Blood is Teddy Bass and it works on a different creepy level

[Steely Daniel]

I'm enjoying the new True Detective. I like the setting and all the indigenous characters in it.

However, I did enjoy season 2 as well so my opinion might be garbage.

[EdLawndale]

You are not alone, Steely Daniel, I think S4 is pretty good so far as well.

Season 2 took me a while, but it grew on me… i definitely had to google details here and there though…

They really set the bar insanely high with 1. Wish i could rewatch for the first time again. Too damn good.

[matt_2993]

Season 4 stepped up a notch after I started watching the episode breakdowns. I definitely miss a lot of details first watch through

[Atiba Applebum]

But is the the spiral thing the same from S1

Wondering the same thing. 

Digging this season a lot.

The Detective who isn’t Jodie Foster was in a solid indie a few years back called Catch the Fair One

[radcunt]

Pretty X Filesy, which is fine with me

It is. And the dead guy on the ice that leads to the bodies in episode 1 is Rust Cohle's dad.

Random but I recently noted an increase in references to penis size in TV shows and films. The Curse used the protagonists small penis as a major theme and metaphor and even showed it. Salt Burn got a kick out of its hero's sizable schlong. I wonder if there are more? Is this a more general trend? Can't remember this being made a central theme outside of maybe the odd Sex and the City episode.

Yeah I liked how brave The Curse was for really taking small penised men to task.   I can’t think of any better thing to shine a light on in society than a physical attribute that no one can do anything about.   


But I haven’t really noticed a broader thing.   I think there’s been a subtle shift in trying to make nudity more than just a think actresses have to endure, but anytime a male actor gets naked, it’s become a bigger hullabaloo.   All the Saltburn jokes are slightly recycled from Fassbender in Shame

Just finished Fargo season 4…. Doozy. Might be my favorite one so far edging season 2.

Getting a vibe Curb is going to end just like Seinfeld as a fun little FU to everyone for bitching about the Seinfeld Fjnale

[Mean salto]

Speaking of bitching about finales...
I hated how that true detective season ended. (SPOILERS) I always hate when thrillers kinda just at the end go oh yeah it was this person you had no reason to suspect and only was in the show for about two mins total.

Yeah, this is definitely headed towards another trial.

Also, it's fucking eery to see Richard Lewis on Curb now. RIP.

Took me a couple weeks to watch the finale after hearing how bad it was and yeah it was even worse than I anticipated. And then I went and saw Issa Lopez just got a 5th season approved with HBO. What the fuck

It did a lot better ratings than the first season did.   A new season shouldn’t be surprising in that context.   No one liked S1 finale either

[Abyss1]

Im having a hard time with the latest true detective…some aspects i like (the x-filey stuff) but a lot of it just doesnt grab me and i get confused with certain characters roles for the overall story. 

I actually am enjoying Tokyo Vice season 2 a lot more, anyone else watching this in Max?

Hulu also dropped shogun and that shit hits too.  I love all these japan based shows coming out

[Glue Reed]

Shogun is A+ so far. 

Only two episodes in but considering the source material are both legendary (the book and the tv movie) I can't imagine it's going to drop in quality.

[Atiba Applebum]

The Regime on HBO is pretty great.  Didn’t expect it to be in the same genre as Succession.   Calling someone a “mewling vulva” was great

Episode 2 was so damn good.

[brycickle]

And episode 3.
