The Netflix/Hulu/Prime Thread

[coldbrightsunlight]

does anybody like Mr. Robot? i know nothing about it, except it's supposed to be good. but this, the fourth season, will be it's last apparently. by design the creator/writer only wanted a contained arc, not a Keep Going Till We Get Canceled thing.

which USUALLY is way better. i'm'a check it out once it's over.

Netflix - Extras was hellza good. made me think mebbe i don't hate Ricky Gervais, i just hate the Office Style Ricky Gervais character i thought he always did. W1A was awesome, took a minute to get comfy with the pace, but goooood.

and fuck me. Derek is KILLING me. my wifey was all, "are you crying AGAIN? WE DON'T HAVE TO WATCH THIS."

"but i love it! it's GOOD! SOB SOB SNUFFLE."

Extras is the only Ricky Gervais thing I've ever really liked. It's very good.

Mr. Robot is pretty awesome, but be prepared to get the rug pulled out from under you an average of about three times a season.

+1, show's great.

so. like. i mean. i am SUPER sappy. i get choked up just telling cute stories of humanity being good to each other. so. grain of salt in your eye or whatever.

but Derek is just suuuuper touching and sweet. first time i've seen the Grimy Reality Of People That Think They Are Rockstars mock-umentry that the Office made huge in Brit Tele' where i don't feel like you're supposed to laugh at the people.

i like it a lot.

Never seen Derek, not sure I can be bothered because Gervais....

[behndy]

i mean, i thought i hated him too. but he was relatable and endearing in Extras. and just awesome in Derek.

Atypical S2 is great so far.

Watched Terrifier on Netflix this morning cause fuck you September is when Halloween starts.

Its stupid as fuck and I loved every minute of it. Its awesome.

I finally fracking started watching Battlestar Gallactica, intro mini series and all. Not bad thus far.

[jrfox92]

Did you watch it chronologically (Caprica > Blood and Chrome > Battlestar Galactica)?

[behndy]

Battsy Galctsy is hecksa good. until the last season. then.... dunno. you'll see.

Terrifier is next on my list, just watched The Loved Ones (been meaning to foreverrrrr. so GOOD.), watching Beyond Skyline now. the first was..... not great. had one really cool part. this is a stupid dumb action alien movie that knows what it is and is better for it.

Iron Fist season 2 is defo an improvement on the first one (not saying much) and it really seems like they've leant into the fact that Colleen is the coolest character in the Marvel/Netflix universe

[BetterOffShred]

I kind of enjoyed Ironfist. I thought it was way better than Nick Cage or whatever.

Battsy Galctsy is hecksa good. until the last season. then.... dunno. you'll see.

I still like that season, but I'm aware it's maybe a bit of a minority opinion from people I've talked to about it.

I caught most of Caprica when it first aired on SyFy with no prior knowledge of the contemporary BSG universe and enjoyed it. The other prequel wasn't previously on my radar. I also half-watched reruns of the OG series during childhood and constantly confuse it with Buck Rogers.
