Best stuff on Netflix

I've watched just the first episode and a half so far. The plot reminds me a lot of Fargo. The movie, not the tv show.

Also, while I like the lead character, I find her scenes sort of boring and am more intrigued by the William H. Macy character, his boss and the guys who committed the crime.

It is totally a Coen Brothers script. The lead character is kind of meh, but she does a good job. There is only 1 average episode imo, the 5th one I believe, other than that it is balls to the wall the entire series.

OneLove, I don't know what to say but boy oh boy.

Anyway, I finished Broadchurch. It was very good. I'm not sure I liked it more or less than The Killing. The ending was sort of meh but I liked it nonetheless. Just started Happy Valley. 100%/95% on RottenTomatoes.

Wow, that was quick.


Hard to compare the ending - Broadchurch had like what 8 episodes? The Killing had the benefit of 26 episodes. So obviously The Killing's got a more in-depth story (so far). Broadchurch season 2's shaping up to be another gripping series.


But what did you think of the direction, acting, writing, character development, etc, etc,. compared to The Killing?

I think The Killing was superior in every way with an asterisk coming for the awful red herrings at the end of each episode in season one. Some subtlety please.

Broadchurch was very good. Nothing amazing though. It gets an 8.4 on imdb. The Killing gets an 8.2 and imo, if it didn't piss off about half of its' viewers for its' season one ending, it would be around an 8.6. I guarantee a ton of people gave it a low rating simply for the season one wrap-up.
 
Bill Burr is the funniest thing out there. I think he has a new tv show coming out. He does swear a lot, but you will laugh the whole time.

1- Bill Burr
2-99: no one
100 - Louis CK
The rest.

You will cry the whole time. Absolutely hilarious stuff
 
Loved Angels in America. 6 episodes. Al Pacino, Meryl Streep an good acting all around. 82 on RT as well. Still don't know if it is on Netflix.
 
Watched Secrets and Lies straight through last night--it's only six 45 minute episodes. I liked it a lot. It doesn't feel as strong as shows like The Missing or Broadchurch or The Killing but it's about as equally as intriguing and for me, it has the best finale of all of them. A stellar last episode that revealed the killer and gave compelling closure.
 
I just started watching The Sapranos. About three episodes in so far. I'm liking it
 
I watched a season of the Sopranos and just couldn't get into it. Not my cup of tea, as it were.
 
Sort of off topic, but not really. Bob's Burgers has 3 seasons on netflix. I always assumed it was some sort of family guy spinoff so I never watched it. But I caught the end of an episode the other day and it was hilarious. The first 3 seasons do not disappoint either.

The Wire and Mad Men are two others imo.

I need to check those out, always looking for a new series to binge watch.

Speaking of which, watched the entirety of the first season of True Detective when we went to Germany (mostly on the plane, but also because German TV sucks) and I really liked it. It did hit a point where it was just kind of dragging and seemed like they were making it dark just for the sake of being dark, but I liked the way they wrapped it up at the end and I thought it was a very solid performance from both Harrelson and especially McCohnahghey. But I found ugly-*** Woody Harrelson's ability to score the hottest asses on the planet just on a whim more than a bit implausible, but it did make for some nice scenes to watch.

I think Harrelson's a good-looking guy for the most part.

And True Detective was freakin' epic.
