two episodes in and I'mma give Darknet an enthusiastic two thumbs up. Canadian horror series (only 6 eps thus far on NF streaming) produced by Vincenzo Natali (Cube/Splice). It's mildly in the vein of V/H/S, albeit sans found footage, so it's kinda more akin to Outer Limits crossed with the non-linear storytelling of QT. Hella dark and twistedly violent.

Been on Z Nation, just closing in on the final episode.
It strikes me as another story in the same z world as Walking Dead.
Maybe they'll all meet sometime in a special episode.
Enjoying "Sirens"
Denis Leary produced. You can sorta see his comedy. Pretty funny.
Took the advice on an previous page and started in on Marco Polo. I'm about 7-8 episodes deep and still have interest. Most series on tv/Netflix don't interest me longer than a few episodes. This one is entertaining.
"The Interview" is on Netflix now. I had very low expectations, but thought it was fairly funny. Great cameo from Eminem too.
I know it's not Netflix (yet or maybe ever?) but Showtime series The Affair is well worth getting hold off if you've not seen it yet.
Watched ep1 last night, pretty funny.Quote:

Yet its sheer irreverence and amatuerishnish won me over. There's some great low-brow humor coursing through the episodes (the LIberty Bell sequence was amazing as well as the "fart" scene in one of the later episodes) and there are some serioulsy hidden horror geek references--Abominable Dr. Phibes, World War Z (the book, not the movie), and others. Plus, the storyline is actually kind of cool and fresh in spots.
Actually stoked to learn that it was renewed for a second season, which should be interesting...
Amazon Prime not Netflix. Under the Skin. One of the better movies I've seen in a long while. Probably not for everyone though. The scenes where Scarlet Johansen is driving around with hidden cameras in a creepy van picking up men are amazing.
Watched the pilot episode of their Man in the High Castle [Philip K. Dick].Quote:

same here, doesn't quite compare to other PKD based movies even if you take low-budget nature into account. felt aimless and actors seemed un-invested in their characters.Quote:

Book is solid. Had no idea this was being produced. I am stoked to check it out. Seems kind of an unfilmable story in my mind, so my expectations are low. Hopefully that sets me up to be pleasantly surprised.Quote:

The suspense is killing me!Quote:

Probably pretty far behind, but I just binged on Peaky Blinders on Netflix.
Fucking A+++, good show
DEAD SNOIW: RED vs DEAD
Just popped up last night...
Not as streamlined as the original, plus it’s in English so it loses a bit of its Norwegian charm, but the splatter factor has been fuel-injected to over-the-top proportions. Lots of homage nods to Re-Animator, Evil Dead, Army of Darkness, Body Parts, Severed Ties, Dawn of the Dead, Fido, and more. In the end, plenty of creative gore (lots of intestinal fortitude) and some genuine laugh-out-loud moments make this a fun zombie romp.
I watched it when it first came on Netflix and wasn't clicking, the music annoyed me. A friend urged me to watch again and now I've watched all of Season 1 and some of Season 2, the music still is bugging me but I tune it out more or less. It does feel a little like Sons of Anarchy transplanted, though. And it's doing the usual good job of blaming the Irish and the poor for troubles created in London (or Birmingham, in this case)... but hey, it's just a TV show. And a pretty good one.Quote:

Got about 2/3 into "The Man Nobody Knew" documentary about William Colby. Not bad. A little jingoistic but what can you expect, it's about Colby and Wild Bill and the OSS turning into the CIA.
