Honestly, Altered Carbon kinda sucked once the sister shit kicked in

Yeah, I was distracted by all the nudity and violence, but its last couple episodes do not give me the thrill that the first 6-8 eps did.

It was pretty good nudity and violence though.

It's over the top with everything. Nudity, violence, terrible acting, all of it over the top.

Babylon Berlin- has anyone watched this? what a fantastic show. i ran through 5 episodes of the first season already.

I thought the nudity was pretty tame TBH. Was expecting some crazy sex orgies like Sense8 or something but no, just normal hetero missionary-adjacent shit. Yawn.

Travel protip: Netflix allows download of some content to your mobile devices. Your netflix account is usable worldwide, but content varies depending on where you are physically located.

Additionally, what can be downloaded varies from region to region.

Depending on where you go in the world, that content may not be viewable in that region.

Download whole seasons before departure
If the content is not viewable in your current traveling location, turn on Airplane Mode, preventing Netflix app from checking your physical location
Find new shows you didn't have in your home location; download what you can!

Not sure about that last tip. I downloaded part of The Expanse s2 before leaving, but couldn't watch it or download more in the USA. I wanted to watch The Magicians, and it's on on Japan's Netflix listings, so I thought that I'd downloaded 10 eps in the USA, but none of them are on my iPad now. Crap.

Watched a mess of Documentary Now and Portlandia while I was in California. Super good.

you guys seen best comedy ever Corporate yet?

I randomly threw on the preview eps before it aired and was pleasantly surprised. It's pretty solid, though it needs more Lance Reddick. I think I find the show more amusing than laugh-out-loud funny, but I really enjoy the surreal, hypercynical atmosphere/world the show inhabits.

shosta · « **Reply #14843 on:** March 08, 2018, 04:14:15 PM »

I think the casting is perfect, including Lance's deadpan tyranny, and they've got the respective screentimes right. I also think the two main characters are excellent foils. Really solid writing.

Enjoyed it. One of the most even marvel netflix shows. Not as good as the first one but hard to beat that without killgrave.
I liked that everyone had conflicting motives which all felt true to their characters.

I think so. Its a Victorian crime drama first with the supernatural stuff at the fringe. It feels very planted in reality due to this.

Agreed about the two leads, they compliment each other really well, as do the pair of bosses, who are just perfectly nauseating. Speaking of the writing, after watching the preview eps I found out it was written partly by Jake Fogelnest, who also worked on the similarly dark and also excellent Difficult People, which I never miss a chance to shill

I finished s2 on the flight back to Japan. I still like the books better, but this is seriously some of the best SF on TV ever.

Mupepe · « **Reply #14856 on:** March 10, 2018, 10:17:13 AM »

I’ve just finished book 3 of Game of Thrones and so decided to rewatch the series. There is such a huge drop in quality from season 3 to 4. They also really start to butcher the characters for unnecessary reasons and change the strangest things. It was fine before I got into the books, but they really do a terrible job of adapting. I assume many of the changes were done when they realized GRRM was taking his sweet fucking time and they needed to stall.

Here in Germany, a pay TV network has retained the rights for the show for a year. So unless I cough up the money for a subscription (which I won't) I got to wait until fall at least until I'm gonna see it anywhere else

Who's the insufferable now, the blonde chick or the guy with the nose? I watched parts of season 1 and they were both obnoxious losers. Which was the point of the show I guess and I can appreciate that. I give them props for painting the attractive female lead in such an unflattering light. But it was just too much cringe for me to really enjoy the show.

Its still the dude now but they've toned down the selfish antics considerably. Hes actually a bit more relatable now instead of full on narcissist.

OMG, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is super great. It has a similar vibe to 30 Rock's this-is-close-to-reality, and maybe one step further removed. It's sharp, funny, and detailed. I can't watch it while doing something else, as there are too many clever details.

That is all.

I dont want to spoil, but yeah there's teenage drama, however the show reinvents itself every two seasons so don't get used to a consistent theme. There's some genre swapping going on, it's very dark for a CW show and completely worth watching.

There's exactly ONE annoying char I wish I could project into the sun, but otherwise most chars feel about right.
