Just finished up Black Mirror. Different but cool.
My mother recommended Patriot Act, watched 33 seconds of the first episode. Not really sure if there was a second one. It matters not.
I like unique humor. Hardy Bucks and Trailer Park Boys are always fun to watch. Seen em all but, I will remember something that made me laugh and check out that episode again.
Ozark was okay. The wife got me watching that one. She got me watching The Ranch as well. I could live without it. It’s time spent with her so I can suck it up for a few episodes.
I watch a lot of documentaries. Behind The Curve was interesting. I found out flat earther’s are really just “hey look at me” type people and their flawed logic completely bites em in the rear at the end. They can never go back to who they were. They have to own this flat earth thing forever. Hey, the feeble minded need love too.
If you like stand up, check out Jo Koy, he has two specials on Netflix. I find him funny, others may not.
A couple of years ago I started a similar thread on multitool.org forum, there’s a lot of good suggestions there, I’ll just post the link, too much to go through and type:
The Staircase. A true crime documentary, super interesting. A mans wife dies by falling down some stairs. Or did she? You decide if he did it or not, and if so, is there enough evidence to convict him?
Breaking Bad.
Hemlock Grove.
There’s a documentary on Ted Bundy that was pretty good. Pretty much all the serial killer documentaries are interesting.
Making a Murderer. Excellent documentary about a man who was wrongly convicted of a crime and spent nearly two decades in prison for a crime he didn’t commit. Eventually it is proven he was not the perpetrator of the crime and he was released from prison. He then sues the County and the Sheriff’s office. While suing, he is arrested for murder. If you haven’t seen this series, it should be on the top of your watch list. It is incredible.
Nope, they are puppets, and most of the sets are actual genuinely built things. There’s still lots of CGI, but it is less animated 3d model stuff and more removing wires and puppeteers type of stuff. They are doing a tour showcasing the puppets right now, which would be very cool to see.
The Chamberlain is evil Grover.
I’ll second Mindhunter as being very well done. I’m not as happy with season 2 as season 1, but it’s still very good.
A good chunk of their stuff co-produced with the BBC or Cahnnel4 are all pretty solid.
Got into “The Spy”. Short mini-series of 6 episodes. It stars Sacha Baron Cohen. But… absolutely nothing to do with his comical characters of the past. Cohen stars as Cohen. Eli Cohen. The famed Israeli spy from the 60’s who infiltrated Syria. His fate is known, as their is nothing to spoil… and the 1st episode telegraphs it. But wow, what a performance by Sacha Baron Cohen. I had no idea he had this level of acting within him.
Seems you are right about that. LINK. I still think they must have done some CGI overlays on the puppets then, because of the lighting and some graphics that are portrayed look just like it.
My wife keeps forcing me to watch Korean series on netflix and I'm starting to like them now. The last few days we have been watching K2. In the beginning the music was overkill but then it calmed down and overall K2 is a lot of fun to watch. After watching a couple of Korean shows now, I'd have to say that they have way more imagination than anything Hollywood is producing lately. Another thing we noticed is that they can really act.
Nothing ATM. Moved into a new house in July, put the TV in the basement, and have only watched about 6 hours since. Still adding things to my list, however!
