What's new

Netflix recs?

I'm nearing the end of Limitless, and have really enjoyed it. A shame it wasn't picked up for a second season.

I watched the first couple of episodes but didn't really get into it so I stopped. Glad you enjoyed it. That's always the trouble with the sci-fi/fantasy-type shows - they always cancel them too soon.
 
Ali Wong - Cobra

I've watched half. That woman is funny. My wife and I were laughing out asses off.
 
Shameless is bad ***. The characters are all great, and they introduce some of them slowly to add interest later on.

Fresh Meat was funny in the Brit comedy style of The Inbetweeners. If you haven't taken my advice to watch the latter yet you are probably a eunuch. It's better than Seinfeld.
 
I watched the first episode of Black Mirror and the show seems intriguing.

I think each episode is a stand alone story. I'd say it's looking like a modern day Twilight Zone.

The first episode starts with the kidnapping of a social media star Royal British Princess being kidnapped and the ransom is that the Prime Minister has to **** a pig on live TV.

Watched three episodes. First was meh. A little cheesy. Second was no good, and it employed the worst, most predictable, kind of twist.

Now the third was really good. It was one major plot hole away from great. It also shows how good an ending twist can be.

Edit: I'm talking about the latest season that was just released. The previous two seasons were excellent. With only one or two stinkers.

Ah, I'm starting fresh. I've only watched S1E1.
 
That s3e3 of BM has really had an impact on me. Been a bit shaken since I saw it. If you haven't seen it, you really should do yourself a favor and skip reading the spoiler.

So there is a huge plot hole that kind of takes the episode a couple notches down for me; so the hackers filmed him jacking off, and since they had access to the computer, I can accept that they knew what he was jacking off to. But how did they "expose" him? There is no way for them to prove what he was looking at. What are they gonna do? Show another video of what he was supposedly looking at next to the video of him jerking it? It doesn't really make sense.

If we disregard that plot hole, the episode becomes my favorite of the whole show. A pedophile as the protagonist of an episode! As a human being! I did not see that one coming at all. It also justifies an otherwise ridiculous plot. Watching the episode, I was laughing about how far-fetched and farcical the whole thing is. Going through all of that to avoid the shame of people seeing him jerking off? Come on! But then the twist ending comes, and BAM! It all makes sense.

Really bold and creative idea.
 
Joe Rogan : Triggered

Just started watching, but so far I am LMAO.

I watched this last night as well and LMAO. I thought his political/how life really is stuff was a stroke of philosophical genius in the way he framed his overall no holds barred stance.
 
Just started watching Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. 2 episodes in and so far I think it's brilliant. Good mix of humour and mystery. Anyone else seen it? It's new to netflix, but was on tv first I think.
