What's good on Netflix?

Watching episode one now. Semi-interesting so far. More annoying for reminding me of how liberal some U.S state laws are allowing people to keep almost any type of animal and the problems that creates.

Tiger King was the weirdest thing I’ve ever seen, there’s a new episode out tomorrow.

Not sure if it’s been mentioned in here but I recently watched top boy. Massively underrated TV show, it’s about West Indian gangs in London.
If you watch it on Netflix series 1 is actually series 3, the first 2 seasons were on UK FTA about 10 years ago, they’re on Netflix but under the name top boy summerhouse for unknown reasons. Apparently Drake had a hand in bringing it back and was a producer on the new series.
I started at season 3 not knowing and found it was brilliant without knowing anything previous. Season 3 was clearly better than the first 2.

I watched it when if first came out and agree with all you said. Absolutely brilliant. Apart from Nearly needing sub titles for the first couple of episodes I can’t fault it. Same as you I didn’t realize this was a 3rd season, so watched the first 2 after and treated them like prequels. They don’t live up to the 3rd season but were still good. Apparently they’re doing a 4th season.

Its one of the best shows on Netflix yet I’ve hardly heard anyone talk about it, maybe it’s bigger in the UK?

Season 4 has been confirmed for the end of this year. I seen a few people post about it on Facebook but I don’t know that it’s been big anywhere, it certainly deserves to be. Maybe in America they’re riding on the drake connection?

It was pretty lame and consisted of Joel McHale having short interviews with a number of different people from the show.

What came out of it is that Joe is a much bigger asshole than the show portrays him.

Yeah it wasn’t amazing but it’s not like I’ve had heaps to do this weekend.
If you’ve got Stan there’s a Lewis Theroux documentary on there called America’s wildest pets or something, interesting watch as well. A little less crazy.

Yep as above I’m plowing through Ozark. Great series, 2 eps Into season 3.

But I’ve made a schoolboy error, watching it with the missus and she’s doing shift work the next few nights. I’ll be stuck here til Friday.

Another Ozarker here. Think I’m up to episode 5 in the series 3.

I think someone here said it wasn’t as good as previous seasons, but so far I reckon it’s one of the better ones. Loving the story progression, particularly Wendy’s, and then how Marty’s role changes.

Some good new characters too, especially one of the more important figures.

Ruth’s wearing on me though with her voice and potty mouth. It’s just tiresome but that’s the character I suppose. Also Darlene’s romantic situation is weird, but not unexpected with this show.

I watched the whole Don’t F**k With Cats: Hunting an Internet Killer 3 part series the other day. It was quite compelling. It’s about some whack-job amateur internet sleuths who attempt to identify the person in a kitten cruelty video, and gets more serious and crazy thereafter.

If you’re into true crime, serial killer, investigation type stuff, check it out.

Episodes 1 & 2 of The Last Dance dropped today, just finished both... Loved it. Pippen was my favourite NBA player during that era. By MJ's own admission the Bulls don't win championships without Scottie.

And now I have to wait 7 days for the next 2 episode's to drop... :(

I watched #BlackAF

I think it is supposed to be funny, not sure, not sure what it is at all.

Good advert for Fiji in the last eps..

Anyone watching Money Heist?

I saw the first 3 episodes last night and didn’t want to stop. It’s definitely binge-material..

Premise is a Heist plan executed by a bunch of folks not known to each other (a-la Reservoir Dogs). It’s a good story line that moves quickly and doesn’t take ages to evolve or get you hooked, does it straight away. It’s a Spanish series which is dubbed, so if you can look past that (I could pretty easily, it’s well dubbed and not really distracting) it’s worth a watch.

If you like suspense series’ and you had a day to kill, I highly recommend a binge on this.

Its a great show. I'm about halfway through season 4. I found the dubbing a bit sketchy for the first few eps until I got used to it. If I dont think about it I dont notice it.

I'd also love to do rude & disgusting things with Tokyo.

I watched the first season dubbed and the second sub titles, didn’t switch back, it’s much better with sub titles
