Essential Official Netflix Thread

Watching Treason and I’m ready to give up on it after the 2nd ep. My man 1st full day on the job and his daughter decides to shake her security detail and of course gets kidnapped. His wife somehow has a CIA best friend who supplies her with tech to start spying on her husband. Then you can’t really blame her because Charlie Cox’s character acts so suspicious with damn near everything he does. It’s only 5 eps so I’m sure I’ll finish but I wouldn’t put this on Slow Horses level yet, which I think is really good.

This dude has got to be the worst spy ever. Dude getting easily followed by his wife and busted by his kids.

Bad Sport is a pretty nice documentary series about corruption stories in sports. Very well made

God’s Crooked Lines (Spanish mystery/psych thriller) was pretty damn solid

I did.

The disaster stuff is only half the movie. The rest is ultra liberal ultra educated angst as familiar as country roads. Oh, they talk a lot about Hitler, mostly in a bad way. Mostly.

If you can ignore the Hitler stuff, it's a good movie, but you got to wade thru angsty yt folks stuff. The mother and the daughter are alot alike, they on the case like encyclopedia brown but getting them to admit to anything, you playing 20 questions.

I can't say anything else without spoliers 7/10. Besides Don Cheadle, whose a beta male but nothing happens to him, it's got Andre 3000 being Andre 3000 and Jodie Turner Smith in a really bad wig. The wife is married to the director in real life.

Thanks for the detailed answer

I actually started it yesterday, really liked the opening scene with Cheadle but then the scene in the kitchen where everyone is talking at the same time got on my nerves. I guess I had a feeling it would go that angsty way. I'll keep it for some other time then.

There's the hippies in the 60s and the hipsters in the mid 90s. They are a lot closer to hipsters than they should be in 1982. One wonders if that particular type of yt folk existed yet.

Watched Yellow and Green episodes of Kaleidoscope while at work and currently on Blue, this is descending order on my Netflix. I'm intrigued, I wonder if everyone else has the same listing order, I remember Netflix mixing up episode order for the first volume of Love Death+Robots. After ep.Blue I'm going to choose a random ep.

Tried watching kaleidoscopic…didn’t know it would be so campy …wish it was darker …i lost interest trying to get into it ….but I’ll give it another shot later…it is feels like a great value oceans 11

My parents love this show- I only watch it when I’m visiting them because it makes them laugh hysterically, then I start laughing bc it’s funny to watch them laugh - the silliness of it all my mother was like “are they really falling into hot lava or red hot water ??!!! “I’m like “No ma- that would be an entirely different type of show”

That's my guilty pleasure....the narrator can be hilariously savage sometimes.

Did anyone else find Kaleidoscope to be middling?

I have this on my list, guess I need to give it a bump now that y’all have an interest in it.

Very much so- it has the Netflix American movie action formula of having an amazingly interesting first one or two initial episodes then takes a hard dive and plummets like FTT’s valuation . I’m on the BLUE episode and right now it’s giving cartoonish . If it wasn’t fit Giancarlo Esposito’s acting basically carrying this series on his back, I would have dipped out and not bothered to watch.
