i just want to know is fortitude series 2 in the same secret genre as series 1, or is it just a crime series this time round?

Hunt for the Wilderpeople so good, Top 5 last year for me

Marvelous Mrs Maisel on Amazon Prime is SO GOOD.
It's basically a fictional Joan Rivers & it's excellent. Takes a little bit of setup, but once it hits the top of the rollercoaster it's A+
Amy Sherman Palladino's dad was a standup, she grew up in this world...it *feels* like her wheelhouse
WATCH IT!!!

it's just the pilot though, right?

Yep it's just the pilot

i couldn't stand this, it was so insufferably twee and indie i had to turn it off after about 10 minutes.

I have no idea if it is a good show or not, but Ingobernable is horrific name.

― jason waterfalls (gbx), Monday, 27 March 2017 16:55 (seven years ago) link
I guess not so bad seeing as it's a common Spanish word. I was reading it as some kind of mangled English neologism when I saw it pop up on my Netflix home screen.

it is as outlandish/bizarre as the wu tang killer not bees series one. crimes happen but not really in a typical crime series let's solve this logically way.

A friend of mine ordered me to vote for it to be picked up, I guess I'll check it out
I started watching legion knowing nothing about it (nobody spoil it pls) and I'm trying to keep an open mind but I admit my heart sank when someone said "he might be the most powerful mutant we've ever encountered" because I didn't realise it was one of those things. I did really like Fargo and stranger things and I'm enjoying the direction so far, slomo music video shit and all, and of course it's haha wow so trippy

Don't worry, Legion is amazing
― groovypanda, Sunday, 2 April 2017 19:59 (seven years ago) link
I got a few more eps in and I'm hot & cold. I know I shouldn't be so put off by genre trappings but I do die a little every time someone says "powers"
And then the 2nd episode had an irl "what if I told you" and an irl "we've never seen anything like this before" and again I know I shouldn't care but man what can I say I don't read comics
There is def a lot of good stuff (it looks great) and I don't think it will be as much of a waste of time as westworld or any of those other shows where "mystery" means "exposition that hasn't happened yet"
― a Brazilian professional footballer (wins), Sunday, 2 April 2017 20:15 (seven years ago) link
I'm quite averse to all that superheros rinse as well, but damnit, the penultimate episode of Legion was fucking excellent and definitely a notable high amongst recent tv series stuff.

S2 of Love isn't bad, but it's taken me a while to settle back into all that awkward dysfunction.
Is anyone else watching 13 Reasons Why? I'm a couple of episodes in and I am enjoying it so far.

Samurai Gournet is an adorable addition to the Japanese food related comedy-drama, not a patch on Midnight Diner so far but good nonetheless.
going through some ah "heavy turbulence" at the moment and this has been about the only thing i can watch. it's charming as you say, and the slight 20 minute episodes are appropriate to the content. not for binge watching tho as his expressions of culinary contemplation, satisfaction and reverie all put together are a bit much, but yes this is good. (oh also the episode with his niece felt a bit off - his relationship with his past is one thing, but this was stuffy and patriarchal on to someone else in a way he usually avoids in other episodes)
will give midnight diner a go.

Watched Tickling Giants last night. The story of Bassem Youssef's satirical news show in Egypt a few years back. Thought it was pretty good. Also enjoyed his own web series a couple of weeks back.
Watched about half of the BBC War & Peace which I'd missed last year. Need to finish it.

Kind of wanted to start watching X-Files again (haven't seen it in probably ten years), but their contract with Netflix must've expired. I had that show in my queue for like 8 years.

getting v annoyed @ how they keep putting movies up and then taking them down like 2 months later, all w/o announcing them anywhere. Unless you follow some third-party blog's "Here's a list of what's arriving and leaving", you'd never know. You'd think by now they'd have something in-app w/r/t all of this shit???

VG - 13 Reasons hooked me at some point and I need to point out the excellent use of "Vienna" in Hannah's final scene. I can't really talk about it yet though - it was really heavy and hard to watch at points.

also yeah emotionally intense like little i've seen before

Anyone else see/know that the Netflix star system was not an average of user reviews but an algorithm driven suggestion based on how much their system thought you'd like a specific film or show? Same with the new thumbs up/down system, apparently.
― Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 29 April 2017 02:27 (seven years ago) link
yeah, i thought that was common knowledge. for a few years netflix offered a $1 million dollar prize to any researcher who could improve on their recommendation algorithm by 10%: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netflix_Prize (the winning algorithm, from 2009, was apparently never actually implemented). here's a nyt magazine article i remember reading at the time: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/23/magazine/23Netflix-t.html
― 1staethyr, Saturday, 29 April 2017 02:37 (seven years ago) link
I knew they recommended things, but I had no idea that, say, a movie with five stars didn't mean most voters gave it five stars but that you had a five star chance of liking it or something like that. Just weird to have had a star system that wasn't an average, or even a traditional rating.
― Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 29 April 2017 02:55 (seven years ago) link
