The Netflix thread

What was different for you in Season 2?

It slowed down in the last couple of episodes. Almost to a crawl. There were some really exceptional parts to season 2 but I felt like when Pablo went farming and got separated from his family...I don't know. It was slow.

It was good but there was so much potential there and I dont feel like it ever really felt super compelling. Maybe I'm weird but seeing Pablo and his family there with a sympathy/love plot line wasn't the direction I would have gone. I wouldn't liked more focus on the various agents on team Merica and team Colombia and politics involved with that.

TL;dr Too much Point of View from Pablo.

Yeah, fair enough. The show DID take a 'turn' there, but given what comes after it, it sorta' had to, imo. At that point, after the sidewalk bomb, there wasn't really a lot of politics involved. He'd burned all his bridges, everyone hates him. Just waiting for the 'break' for them to .... I'll leave that hanging for spoiler purposes.

I still liked it and I'd watch more of it. The Goodfellas style of storytelling works very well. I just feel like its about an hour too long in season 2 and they just padded things. Its just also possible that there is so much great TV out there that if anything is less then perfect then its easy to pick apart.

Absolutely, sometimes shows are the victims of their own success.

Narcos Season 1 was solid. Season 2 was kinda meh.

What was different for you in Season 2?

Not enough pantalones?


/imo , nothing i enjoyed watching more in 2016 than narcos season 2

 

[Simmion]

Just finished OA in one day. Those spoilers I won't try and quote as i have failed in the past. But I feel Spar had a good point. But still feel it as very open.

 

[LongtimeRamsFan42]

Narcos and Midnight Diner:Tokyo Stories have been my recent faves of theirs...

 

[TJL]

Stranger Things and Westworld were the only two shows I've bothered watching in a while, both awesome.

I got HBO GO just for Westworld

I started watching Narcos last night. I am already into the 4th episode. Son of a bitch is it good.

BoJack on here got me to watch BoJack and it is one of the strangest comedies that I just really like.

I like House of Cards. I like how each season is just a different animal. I could see how people want to jump ship on it as it seemed to get kinda of blah when he was having that guy write his book. I look at those scenes to figure out what is being foreshadowed and it kept me entertained.

After Narcos I am going to watch Marco Polo.

Someone on here mentioned Lillyhammer and not really liking it. CHF I think recommended it to me awhile back and I thought it was down right entertaining as hell.

I blasted through Hell on Wheels recently. Great series.

I Loved Daredevil. Then Jessica Jones.........sweet villain in this one and now I have Luke Cage under my belt. They are really good. Don't expect Marlo Brando type acting in these and just take them for entertainment and you will be satisfied.

I was recommended Trailer park boys and watched an episode or two. I could not get into it. I love comedies but for some reason just couldn't

You gotta power thru the first season. It gets better as it goes.

One of the funniest shows of all time.

I will give it another go.

 

[Comeds]

I'm halfway through Luke Cage. Surprised how good I think it is. Wish Frankie Faison was in it more.

 

[beardown07]

I will give it another go.

My wife hates it, so it might not be for everyone, but I did find it funnier after season 1.

I tried TPB, but it always felt like work to watch it. There was nothing that drew me in.

I think I stopped after the pr0n episode.

That's the 3rd episode.


If you have no experience with white trash, booze and drugs, it may not be for you. lulz

Bubbles is my hero.

 

[TemptressToo]

Peaky Blinders is the best original series on Netflix.

1920's Brit Gangster series with Cillian Murphy, Tom Hardy (sparingly), and that one dude from Jurrasic Park.

Super excellent show, and there's 3 seasons. Watch it.

Not a Netflix Original. It was produced by the BBC. I agree on enjoying it though. I binge watched the latest season online.

I don't think I lasted that long. Wasn't there a pr0n ep early? They filmed it in one if neighbors trailers, but it got interrupted just before Bubbles was gunna git sum...

TPB is not for everybody. I've got a soft spot for it because it's Canadian as fuck, and sooooo low budget it almost re-defines low budget, so for it to be so successful is pretty effing cool. But it's definitely not on my 'must watch' list or anything.
