After being disapointed in the last couple of stand up specials I watched (the Louis CK one and the awful Kevin Hart one), I really dug this Lucas Brothers one. I never saw their stand up, in fact I only knew them from Lady Dynamite.

Queen of Katwe is on Netflix today. Go watch it!!
Getflix works for me, but only through my Netflix TV app. It doesn't work on PS4 or iOS.

Bill nye saves the world was pretty good. The last 2 episodes I found pretty boring though the rest was good.

The TV series or A Series of Unfortunate Events is pretty good for how strange it is in content and style. I never read the books or watched the movie, and this isn't what I expected at all. The pacing is great as it changes significantly every two episodes, which I understand corresponds to one book covered over each two episode pair.

Yeah. I really appreciated the speed of it as well as the scenery changes, along with the narration and the characters themselves. The main 'carekeeper' characters were there long enough that you're able to grow fond of the character, and short enough that the character didn't become repetitive.

I liked the first 2 episodes of unfortuneate events but after that it felt a little repetitive.
Yeah, it kind of blows. At least we have visual "trailers" for everything now though.

Is GK perma-banned or will he be back?
Cringed out of the Bill Nye show halfway through the first episode. Would be a million times better without the ridiculous guffaws and oohs and aahs from the audience. Good grief.
The first episode of Dear White People was good, looking forward to more.
Watched that Casting Jonbenet thing too and it was... weird? Gross? I can see why it would get good reviews but I didn't dig it.

It's about Phiona Mutesi, Ugandan female chess player who rose from the slums to become a great chess player. Inspiring story, highly recommend it.
One more ep left of Kimmy Schmidt s2. An improvement from the first season, there are so many jokes packed into even one minute of an episode. There are weaker eps here and there, but some new additions (like Andrea) were worth it. The ep with Jeff Goldblum was my favorite of the season.

The phone app isn't showing the name of a movie or show in the Continue Watching section. Almost all of the thumbnails aren't very recognisable.

I tried watching this new original documentary Casting Jonbenet. Its a true crime documentary involving but not really about the murder of Jonbenet Ramsey. The basic format is that the director is doing a local casting call in the town where the girl was murdered and have people come in and read lines for the roles of the people in this true story and discuss and speculate on what happened.
The format is really grating.
In the 30 minutes I watched, they had already spoken to like 20 people.
Its clear the intent of the documentary is to highlight how we project ourselves into stories such as local tragedies and how our experience affects the way we view those tragic events.The format itself isn't a bad idea if they focused on like 5 people doing the speculation.

Is it really that different?
My biggest gripe is that new additions/releases aren't pinned to the top of the list. If it was me, it would be....

The actual recommendations always seemed really dumb to me.
I think she is bearable if you can relate to it. I know more than dozen of girsl who have the similar attitude so I am kind of tolerant to her character.
No redeeming qualities at all. They want to pretend she is sassy and independent, but what she really is is just a huge cunt to everyone and everything. She is a complete shit to even people she just met and exchanged jothing but single sentences with. This is not charming, this is not endearing "omg she so quirky and misunderstood"
I also like that she has friends, despite all this, for no good reason. Nobody would be friends with anyone like this, who needs that in their life?
...oh.
Just finished it as well. First season was better paced, but the second finished super strong. Cant wait for S3. Wouldnt mind if that was the last season, with the way the plot is structured.

I'm excited that new seasons of flash, arrow, and supergirl are coming soon.
But what to watch until then...
I also assume supernatural season is coming by the end of the month. Hyped.
Gotta find something til then though.

Was A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night removed from US Netflix? I keep seeing it on recommendation lists from as late as last week but it's not coming up for me.

Apparently netflix acct was hacked and someone deleted my profile to make their own profile ... out of 5 to choose from... fml.
The dumb thing is the moron probably would not have been noticed if he didn't try to make his own personal profile. What a dumbass.

Whoa, finally! Welcome back!
Then you post a bunch of Netflix original garbage...
Anne isn't a Netflix original though...
What's the policy on those anyway? Why are Anne and Degrassi labeled "Netflix Original" when they aired on TV in different regions before going to Netflix?

Because Canada doesn't count.
And on that note, loving Anne so far after three episodes.
Netflix call anything that's airing in that territory for the first time exclusively on Netflix a "Netflix Original"now.
Better Call Saul, Designated Survivor and Scream are "Netflix Originals" in the UK.

interesting that mindhorn is a netflix original in the us it just hit uk cinemas
=/ poor Canada. Still need to find some time to start Anne.
That's really deceptive.
