I thoroughly enjoyed Dirty John. It's a Lifetime Network-style production, but very high quality with good actors so it made it pretty fun. Julia Garner's whiny posh voice had me laughing and cringing at the same time. Bana was awesome. The story is crazy. I listened to the podcast, so I probably enjoyed it more than maybe I would have had I not listened.
I started watching House of Cards and the first season was excellent. Starting somewhere in season 2 the plot lines began to get ridiculous and I made it to about season 4 episode 10 and decided I was not going to watch any more of this garbage. Completely unrealistic.
The best they have done IMO are Dark and Altered Carbon...outside of that most of the original stuff in crap.Tried Raising Dion but that kid actor made me want to kill everything. Tried Mars-trash. The A List was crap. Another Life might actually be worse than I-Land so much stupid. Netflix makes some good shows but jesus they make a lot of sh*t.
They are a bit like Cannon Films was, throw out a whole bunch of stuff and hope a couple things stick.
They're just trying to make something for everybody. ****** stuff makes money on TV and Netflix is replacing TV, so it does everything from AMC/HBO style award-winning shows, to **** only lonely adult nerds will watch, to terrible teen movies, and programming for babies. I'm more surprised when they don't try to capture an audience type, like for example, competition style reality shows. Less than 1% of what's on TV appeals to me and the same goes for netflix
I watch more movies on amazon selections than netflix. It’s so cluttered with Netflix originals that I don’t care about that it’s hard to just see movies. I’m going to give it the winter and then cancel. Fire it back up next December.I agree about TV I record 4 shows and right now it's just Shameless and The Unicorn. They tried Ultimate Beastmaster or whatever it was but that was just a really generic version of ANW. I'm surprised they haven't tried more reality TV in general. At this point I'm really close to cancelling it and maybe renew it every 6 months and binge the handful of shows I do like, then drop it again. Cause the movie selection is pretty lacking as well and not just their original stuff.
