What is worth binge watching on Netflix?

American Vandal.

 

Kevin Slater

This is a great show that I can't convince any of my friends to watch.

Kevin - when the movie Columbus is available make sure to see it.

Elucidate please.

This address referenced the first ever televised address that HRH made, which was a big plot point in either the 3rd or 4th episode of the current series.

A bit of a stretch!

I haven't tried it yet because I'm not a big fan of satire. It becomes tedious to me very quickly. If satire is just a jumping off point of a comedy drama, that would be something I'm interested in.

Oh I don't know...is it a coincidence that they referred to that on the same month that the second series was released? Quite possibly starting chatter that may eclipse the Blackamoor incident...

 

Sorry, even as I was writing it, I, myself, can feel the stretch;)

American Crime (especially season 2)

Narcos

Breaking Bad ( of course)

Thematically it's about how authority figures, peers and social media can imprint who you are onto you before you discover yourself. I've never seen what is essentially a gross out faux documentary with an underlying serious theme before.

But before we get all artsy phartzy it's funny as hell as we try to learn whether Dylan painted the dicks on the teachers cars. And if not Dylan who? And did Alex get the hand job or not? And, and, and...

I was aghast how the media, especially all the LGBT Websites and magazines, ignored American Crime S2.

Sexuality was a huge theme. Several other critical themes were woven into it. IMO the acting was impeccable.

 

I started it but it was just too gut-wrenchingly painful to keep watching. It left me feeling terrible and I began to dread a new episode instead of look forward to it.

 

Did it have any kind of happy or reaffirming ending?

No, not really a happy ending genre series. The series actually gave no answers, only posing questions about what high school kids face, as well as their parents, in an unjust world. People were angry that there was no justice served at the end, but I think they just didn't get what John Ridley was trying to say.

 

I watched with an on-line group and we debated each week the whodunit, who was guilty, and who did wrong, kind of thing.

The two guys never did meet on screen (the basketball player that invited the poor boy to the team party) so we only heard their stories independently.

There was one scene that left me in a puddle, after the shooting, because how I was pulling so hard for the mom and son, how he was victimized and how she tried her best to deal with something so huge.

Aside from the usual Netflix top lists, if you’re game for a riotous British comedy (only 8 eps per season), check out Chewing Gum on Netflix.

 

Another fantastic comedy is Insecure created by and starring Issa Rae on HBO.

Did anyone mention “Dark” on Netflix? I just started it, no spoilers please

I just finished watching season three. It stars Van Hansis. He played Luke Snyder a gay character on the soap "As The World Turns".

On TBS originally (and actually in its 3rd or 4th season) I liked People of Earth. No big deal but it is just funny for a lot of different reasons.
