Streaming The Netflix Thread

Enjoyed the original film trilogy with Joel Kinnamon. This looks good too

Finished The Serpent today and quite enjoyed it. I'd never heard of the story before

Finished it last night - was ok but could have easily trimmed the 8 part series into 6 and not lost a helluva lot. The leads were good but did at times go a bit over the top.

Halfway through episode 2 of The Serpent. Very good so far, plus Jenna Coleman is a hunny. I am enjoying it.

 

[Cruyff14]

Just finished that tonight. Probably didn't need to be eight eps, but the acting from all the cast is top class.

The Serpent is very good, but a very disturbing story as well.

A very interesting article about the real life Serpent

Yeh Richard was a regular on the Midday Show during the 1980’s. As a teenager he used to strike me as a passionate bloke ahead of his contemporaries.

I remember him from those days as well, he used to do movie reviews if I recall correctly. Very expansive movie reviews with big expansive hand and arm gestures. Would have been late 80s/early 90s.

Geoffrey Robertson did The Trials of Oz on the ABC around the same time.

I found The Serpent dragged a bit for me. Didn't like it as much as some here, but the story behind the series was interesting.

About half way through it. It's quite engaging but the flash forward/back after every scene gets a bit tedious

Should have been a 5 episode show at best

Is Netflix not as good as it used to be in producing guaranteed hits?

I'd say that would have to be the case by default as the number of productions they do goes up.

Anyone watched snabba cash?

 

[GreyCrow]

Shadow and Bone

Couple of episodes in and it's ok. Fantasy based and I assume the books were more aimed at a teen audience but can be watched by anyone

 

[BuddysBiggestFan]

The Serpent is brilliant all 8 episodes. Great acting all around. Would recommend to everyone.

Just watched Sherpa. Pretty good doco. Thought the tour operator Russell was a selfish campaigner and so were most of his clients. 16 Sherpa died and they still wanted to continue their climb.....Disgusting.

I doubt Netflix is interested in churning out hit after hit. They need niche shows, and to accommodate a range of tastes. If it can be made to a budget, and fills a niche market, it's still of value to Netflix. In fact, the expense of trying to manufacture a hit out of it may not be worth it.

We binged that new show over the weekend 'Shadows & Bones' Not normally my thing but this one was actually pretty good.

I have seen that one during the 40-minute "Scroll Through Netflix Catalogue" show I watch a few times a week.

New Circle series is good so far.

Finished the 1st season last night

Some interesting themes . Acting was ok and most of the film was good - seemed some stretchy film was used at times - I will watch the 2nd season

I made it 10 minutes in and found this show unbearable. Is it actually good?

 

[Richard Cranium]

Not sure about this. Mainly because Lena Waithe can't act.

Depends if you like reality TV.
Having said that I don't watch much these days but this has me hooked.
Very addictive.

The Thanksgiving episode is one of the best the show has had to date. Hopefully this keeps up that quality.
