I was totally grossed out by the trailer for the Sant Clarita Diet and didn't even make it to the end of the trailer. They should warn you about that stuff. I was as grossed by the cynicism, shit humour and corny acting as by the flesh eating. Kinda depressing that this stuff gets funded.

Yeah, the trailer makes it look woodenly unfunny

a wonderful illustration of the rise of Trumpism in American history.
The actor who plays Bohannon grew up in Tennessee -- I looked it up after one of the episodes where he did a fair amount of talking and his accent reminded me of my friend Josh's, who grew up in Tennessee, and I felt like I won something. Anyway, I finally watched the last half of the last season. The romantic subplot was annoying. I really liked the show overall, but whenever they were together in those last 5-6 episodes, David Bowie's version of "China Girl" kept going through my head, (probably because it was the same time as all the Year End Best ofs and Bowie came up a lot) and I just wished that she could have been an awesome character and not a love interest. That was probably the weakest part. I wanted more history stuff: building challenges, robber barons and corruption, the experiences of different cultural groups, not cheesy romantic stuff.
When Trump pitched his wall idea, Hell on Wheels and the Trans. Railroad was the first thing I thought of, in terms of how much graft and cronyism would go into the thing.

santa clarita diet is.... sort of 'off' in some way?? i think we're about 4 episodes in. the body-eating is too much for me, i have to cover my eyes. but everything about the show is just... off. drew's acting is bizarrely wooden, it's weird seeing timothy olyphant playing a goofy role (tbh he's the only reason i'm sticking with the show - he's definitely in my top 5 hall-of-fame would-smash), and a lot of the dialogue is really odd and stiff.

drew's acting is bizarrely wooden
because they catapulted her character into the big premise (and therefore never showed viewers who she was), it's unclear whether the wooden acting is a result of that change or just barrymore's lack of interest.

didn't watch the trailer but I assume it's a Girls/Lost crossover?

it's about girls who turn into boys. looks weird.

The Bureau sounds interesting but unfortunately its not on Irish netflix yet. The first suggestion was a Norwegian show about Russia and climate change, has anyone seen it?

they're all about their own library now. the third party offerings seem to be about bedding down a value proposition rather than being netflix in 2014.

Netflix sucks for old westerns though. there are five and they are all from the 60's. that's pretty sad.

Santa Clarita's first ten minutes are more amusing than expected and the actress playing Drew Barrymore's daughter is impressively similar to her.

I love the premise of Occupied but it felt to me like they were stretching a novel into an entire series. I lasted maybe 5 eps?

I hear santa clarita is better by episode four, may just skip to there.
forks otm. there's a sudden shift in quality at episode four, and from that point it's legitimately well-acted and engrossing and funny.
