Streaming The Netflix Thread

[Beerfish]

The puppet master - a doco about a conman named Robert Freegard.

Its uses cringy doco staples such as ominous music during close up of his eyes and for some reason its split into 3 parts when its not even that long put together but its still a interesting and bewildering story, as you cant even believe some of the that happened. Also for some reason they do not discuss his background/childhood/parents or other family at all, which is also a bit weird.

Was a bit like a community service announcement given he's still out there being a lying piece of shit. Can't imagine life's going to get any easier for him.

Was odd how parts 1 and 3 were an hour and 2 was 30 minutes.

We made it through "Deadly Class" and found that while it starts OK, it really turns into a hot mess by the end. It ended on a cliffhanger, so I assume that means there'll be a second season. But overall, I thought the show was absurd. Just violence for the sake of violence.

Yeah it felt like it had so much to work with and went nowhere.

I don't think there is going to be a 2nd season of it, I was reading online that none of the streaming services touched it apparently when they looked for someone to do the second season.

They were trying to make clever commentary on society through the violence and double standards but it just didn't work IMO. The whole thing descended into craziness. The only performance I enjoyed was Brian Posehn's as the drug dealer/gimp guy.

Yeah completely agree with you there, although I didn't mind the character of Chico as well.

Think it's for the best nobody was willing to pick it up to do a second season.

Ozark oh boy

Finished S3 of After Life. It was ok. Everything wrapped up ok in the end I guess.

I thought it was boring as batshit. Literally laughed maybe twice during the whole season.

I’ve got two eps left and I’ve felt the same. It’s extremely overhyped and I love Ricky.

I wanted to throw him and his ****ing laptop off a cliff by that stage.

The Detectorists is a real gem, highly recommend.

I couldn't help but picture Lance with a wry smile as he read this story in the paper today. The coin would have looked good on the finds table:

I was thinking more of Molly’s demise and that last few minutes.

Sad fact of the matter is that every place in Australia had an Esme or Mrs Jessop or Mrs Mangel.

Today they would be called Karen

I maintain that was an absolute once-off in Australian TV, I was in school at the time and it was literally pretty much the only thing anyone was talking about the next day, standing around in groups, muted voices, cool kids, nerds, teachers, everyone. Mind you, back then in Tassie we only had the one commercial TV station so we were pretty light on for choice. But again, with the fragmentation and overwhelming number of options for entertainment today, you'll never get a moment like that ever again.

The first two seasons were really great, but I feel like the 3rd just kept trying to manipulate me to cry with over sentimentalism crap, which ruined any comedy bits. Some people liked it, but I found it below average.

 

[JackOutback]

Finished Lost in Space. It was an enjoyable sci-fi adventure, satisfying finish, quite wholesome but without ever tipping over the edge. It bridges the gap between those family friendly episodic shows of the '80s and the serialised, darker shows that are more common now. Apparently season 3 was very widely watched, hopefully it generates some new stories/spin-offs.

i got ph

I wanted to throw him and his ******* laptop off a cliff by that stage.

The last season made my physically angry. It went totally nowhere and was just a repeat of the first 2 seasons only he tried to go all soppy on us. **** that shit, i hope the last scene meant

Spoiler

that he is ****ing dead with his ****ing wife so i don't get forced to watch another season of that crap!

I thought the first was solid but season 2 was a big decline in quality and this is even worse. Will watch the final two eps today for a final review but I don’t think a good ending will save it.

Ozark oh boy

ill have to try and find a recap to remember how the last season ended....

Man of Recaps on YT is my favourite at doing them.

I didn't think the ending was much. I'll be interested to see what you think.

It shows it at the beginning of this season.

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Finally watched the end of the 100.

Season 5 was horrible so took me a while to get around watching season 6.

The first 3/4 were awesome...but ruined it with a stupid ending that just lazy and wtf.

I enjoy the series but for me Season 3 was the least favourite, really found it hard to get into the City of Light story line

Worth watching or nah?

 

[hotchilli]

If you can’t find anything else to watch.

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

Worth watching or nah?

Nah. Unless you're desperate. The problem is the first few eps are good, and that sucks you in, then toward the end, you realize it's turned into crap. However, Brian Posehn's performance as a drug dealer then gimp is gold.
