From what I recall of season 1, they went ham on the slow mo artistic stuff, slightly over the top even but a lot of the show is the awesome visuals.
Once you get further into the series it tones down and the plot/visuals/characters are enjoyable. But I can see it not being for everyone.
Hotel Cecil docuseries on Netflix is pretty meh, could/should have just been 2 episodes.
Started watching season 2 of The Sinner, forgot we watched season 1 long ago, been enjoying it so far.
Finished 2 more series, both Apple Originals I believe - they have been getting some great stuff.
Ted Lasso - A 'feel good' show with a unique plot, good to watch with the wife/family. Pretty hard not to like. Ten 30 min episodes and renewed for 2 more seasons.
Defending Jacob - A fairly unique 'who done it' type show. I was able to predict almost everything, but we still really enjoyed it. Eight 60min episodes and is based on a book so it comes to a conclusion after season 1.
Some others:
The Flight Attendant - Starring Kaley Cuoco. Her acting is actually quite good, basically she wakes up beside a dead guy after a one night stand, and has to try exonerate herself. It's also a comedy. It was about a 6-7/10 for me but a decent watch. It's a mini series so not a huge time commitment.
I tried to get into "The Wire" as it always pops up as one of the best TV shows but the burn is just too slow for me, at least in the first few episodes I felt like nothing happened so I pulled the plug. I'm sure it gets better but I don't know if it's worth the commitment (for me).
We also watched the Cecil Hotel documentary on Netflix and it was garbage IMO. After one episode it was painfully obvious what happened. I can't recommend that one.
The Wire for sure starts out slow and I almost dropped it too. Thank god I didn’t because it’s one of my all time favs.
Been watching Tehran (Apple TV) and it’s pretty decent so far. Will have to give Yellowstone a shot based on everyone’s recommendations here.
Anyone here watching Money Heist on Netflix? Reviews?
One of my favorite shows over the last couple years. I loved it. It has a HUGE following in other parts of the world, much bigger deal than it is here in NA. It's dubbed (originally Spanish), but they do a good job so it isn't distracting at least IMO. The first episode or two gives you a pretty good idea of what it's like so it's not a big commitment to see if you like it or not IMO. It has a hilariously bad name that sounds like an old B-movie though haha.Quote:

Money Heist captured my interest for the first heist, but I'd suggest bailing out after that. I can't watch any dubbing; it's too weird for me. I'll listen to the original Spanish performance and read the subtitles.
Just started the Snow Piercer Netflix series yesterday. So far it seems pretty good.
I don't know how you guys can watch anything dubbed. The words not matching the lips would drive me nuts.
I used to think so until I took the time to watch Dark. Show was too amazing to ditch it because of the dubbing. But yeah, generally it suck, and not so much because the lips don't match. It's because the voice actor tones are totally fucked. It's like they aren't allowed to watch the show while they dub, so they don't understand the context their lines fall into.Quote:

Why do you even use dub though? Just watch it with subtitles, it's not that bad. +1 for Dark, really great show.
I just started Your Honor with Bryan Cranston, seems pretty good so far.
Halt and catch fire on netflix.
I'm liking it. Cameron's pretty hot :)
I have enjoyed watching The Story Of documentaries on youtube

Space Sweepers. Korean hit!
Dem Koreans making some good movies.
Going to watch Train to Busan next. Alive was good imo.
I watched Train to Busan for the first time last summer and really enjoyed it, havent seen the 2nd one yet though as I heard it wasn't that great.Quote:
