Just watched S2E1 of Dark - what a way to end an opening episode. Despite watching a youtube season 1 recap i couldn't remember who half the characters were, but by the end i was extremely desirous that this shit be directly injected into my veins.


thanks for this rec btw ledge. S2E2 Suspicious Minds from the nuclear power plant is a great moment.

Don't ignore the dedicated thread!

Dark: the German Netflix series that's like an amalgamation of Twin Peaks, Back to the Future, and X-Files (SPOILERS!)

I'm now trying El Ministerio del Tiempo (Spanish time travel silliness) but due to life it's taken me two days to watch half an hour so nothing to report yet. I'm removing Another Life from my list!

I actually had forgotten about that thread, because I'd been avoiding it till we finished watching the show.

"Another Life" - what if we made Alien but boring

Greta Van Show Feets BB (milo z), Friday, 2 August 2019 05:18 (five years ago)

Is there not a When They See Us thread? It might be a bit too late to start one.

"Another Life" - what if we made Alien but boring

They already did this, but it was just called "Life" then.

And according to some websites, there were “sexcapades.” (James Morrison), Monday, 5 August 2019 08:29 (five years ago)

Ugh I need something to watch.

I am enjoying Trinkets. I am into this PNW/K records/shoplifters unite vibe.

erika: Good Morning Glass Blowers! - Blown Away: The Netflix Art Reality Show

New season of She-Ra, which is pretty good if that’s your thing.

new Derry Girls season is out, first one was funny in our estimation

sleeve, Tuesday, 6 August 2019 14:04 (five years ago)

The third season of Dear White People got a little meta but is pretty good still.

Yerac, Wednesday, 7 August 2019 18:10 (five years ago)

I finally started watching Ozark. Then I looked at the Ozark thread and everyone hates it there. Is that a commonly held opinion? I'm finding it diverting and amusing enough.

akm, Wednesday, 7 August 2019 20:37 (five years ago)

The second season is way worse. I am not bothering with the 3rd.

Yerac, Wednesday, 7 August 2019 20:39 (five years ago)

And I feel bad about Jason Bateman's buttshot.

Yerac, Wednesday, 7 August 2019 20:39 (five years ago)

I couldnt get through 2 episodes of it. cant remember why i hated it now.

big city slam (Spottie), Wednesday, 7 August 2019 20:45 (five years ago)

I thought it was ok, but can't remember much about season two

The Netflix corporate motto.

Greta Van Show Feets BB (milo z), Wednesday, 7 August 2019 21:28 (five years ago)

there are a whole series of jokes on Dear White People about the 'third season of a Netflix show'.

Yerac, Wednesday, 7 August 2019 21:38 (five years ago)

lol milo otm

Li'l Brexit (Tracer Hand), Thursday, 8 August 2019 10:26 (five years ago)

Frankly I watch almost every Netflix show in binges while high on the couch with my dog and therefore only see and retain one out of every four episodes

akm, Thursday, 8 August 2019 16:58 (five years ago)

Lol that was exactly what I did until I moved somewhere where I have no idea how to get weed. Anyway I will watch the recent suggestions!

Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Thursday, 8 August 2019 22:14 (five years ago)

The Great Hackl -- about Cambridge Analytica and psychographic marketing re: 2016 US election and Brexit -- is up there with CitizenFour and Get Me Roger Stone as essential. And like CitizenFour it has the immediacy of following investigative reporters in the moment of doing their work.

hell of a cast here

Greta cast, but that still looks pretty bad. And not bad meaning good.

Josh in Chicago, Monday, 12 August 2019 21:06 (five years ago)

I'm surprised there doesn't seem to be a thread for or any talk about Jeff Sharlett's series The Family?

Or did I just miss it?

There's more Italy than necessary. (in orbit), Monday, 12 August 2019 21:12 (five years ago)

decent stuff. been following his work for so long there aren't really any new uh revelations but it's new to my gf and she is very much like wtf!

Larry Elleison (rogermexico.), Sunday, 18 August 2019 03:09 (five years ago)

I keep wavering on watching it (The Family). Did you enjoy it?

Yerac, Sunday, 18 August 2019 14:37 (five years ago)

more odd new FRIENDS things:

3 episodes in. I’m not sure “enjoy” is the word exactly but so far so good.

Larry Elleison (rogermexico.), Monday, 19 August 2019 14:08 (five years ago)

there's a related shirt on maura's etsy link that I cannot believe exists

rob, Monday, 19 August 2019 14:44 (five years ago)

omg

The Pingularity (ledge), Monday, 19 August 2019 14:46 (five years ago)

i've been watching The Family and am also on episode 3
thoroughly disgusted! still watching...
the real kicker was seeing Mark Sanford on Meet the Press in the morning claiming that he was going to challenge _rump in the primary and then watching ep 2 where he visits the Appalachian Booty Trail and gets counseled about sinning in his gross xtian dorm for adult men.

weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Monday, 19 August 2019 15:05 (five years ago)

i am having a very difficult time believing that any of them care about Jesus at all in spite of their loudly proclaimed Jesus myopia

weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Monday, 19 August 2019 15:07 (five years ago)

watched two episodes of the family so far and think it's well-done — i'd forgotten about that terrible Sanford thing. Seems almost quaint now! What a bunch of assholes.

tylerw, Monday, 19 August 2019 15:15 (five years ago)

they are disgusting! i have a hard time believing anyone actually believes they were chosen by god. i realize this is probably a shortcoming of my own imagination but the degree of removal from reality required to believe that all of these men are chosen by god leaves me speechless. they are repulsive. still watching!

weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Monday, 19 August 2019 15:31 (five years ago)

addendum: i have a hard time believing anyone actually believes they were chosen by god to hoard power and influence in the political sphere

weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Monday, 19 August 2019 15:32 (five years ago)

I’m on ep 4 now and I’m here to say this is not “news” exactly but it’s horrifying to see the throughline of “Jesus and family and friends” spread like a virus all over the planet. The white supremacy machine never sleeps 😢

this planet is tragic and doomed as long as these people are working their “Jesus magic”

the part where the guy said “all you have to do is say his name — Jesus — and the doors open” 🤮

weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Monday, 19 August 2019 21:48 (five years ago)

I am pretty much atheist, is this going to be as bewildering as the Abducted in Plain Sight documentary?

Yerac, Monday, 19 August 2019 22:06 (five years ago)

Way way worse imo — affects vastly larger swath of humanity than a tiny cult 👎

weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Monday, 19 August 2019 22:11 (five years ago)

Or a single abduction

weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Monday, 19 August 2019 22:11 (five years ago)

If the words “nonconsensual diplomacy” in the name of Jesus make you recoil, I think it’s important viewing

weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Monday, 19 August 2019 22:15 (five years ago)

Also? The next time you hear 45 refer to Norway you’ll know why 🤮🤮🤮

weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Monday, 19 August 2019 22:17 (five years ago)

basically there is a large group of people in american public life for whom "jesus" is a code word for "power at all costs and by any means" is how i break it down to an extent

Larry Elleison (rogermexico.), Tuesday, 20 August 2019 05:11 (five years ago)

Jane The Virgin S5 is out and the first episode has an unbelievably great 7-minute (!) continuously shot monologue from Gina Rodriguez, A++

sleeve, Tuesday, 20 August 2019 14:43 (five years ago)

I can't believe we don't have a thread for that show, but I guess the last season is a little late to start one

sleeve, Tuesday, 20 August 2019 14:44 (five years ago)

I am halfway through the second epi of The Family. These people are all lunatics. It's a faux spiritual MLM scheme.

Yerac, Tuesday, 20 August 2019 17:35 (five years ago)

it's a diabolical fraternity with enormous tentacles :(

weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Tuesday, 20 August 2019 17:38 (five years ago)

nothing good comes out of a room full of white men that need to keep a secret.
