Streaming Giants - General Discussion

Introducing my nephews to Fuller house and they're absolutely in love with it. It's so cute to see a new generation of people fall in love with a series I loved in its original form

What's bloodlines about? I need to find some good shows to watch.

This is the gist, with as little spoilers as possible lol

It's a family drama. Estranged sibling Danny, reunites after many years with his two brothers and sister at their parent's 45th anniversary of their Flordia keys seaside hotel. Danny wants to move back home, but his siblings are against the idea thinking he's just going to leave and break their mother's heart yet again... he goes against their wishes and stays anyway. Tragedy strikes and the dark past of the family slowly starts to come to light, which inadvertently leads way into a possible drug trafficking scandal in their peaceful little town.

Patiently waiting for A series of unfortunate events

yaaaass I'm so excited. my favourite series as a kid

I like fuller house but I don't think it is as great as everyone thinks it is. I can't stand the corny Mary Kate and Ashley jokes. Will I watch it yes but it is one of those shows I will only watch one time and be good with it

I love how Netflix can just announce a series, release a trailer, and premiere it within 4 days and it's got EVERYBODY HYPED!!!!! This looks amazingggg... and there goes my next weekend haha

That was the intent. You took me way back to 2000/2003 with that avatar

Did you like it Mitch?

I was reading the reviews and not many people liked it. When the reviews were favorable, they loved it. Hardly an inbetween.

I was reading that the series broke the mold from the conventional set run-time a netflix series or broadcast series has, which is a cool feature.

It's definitely different and would definitely split viewers. You really have to believe in the mythology of the show to fully invest yourself and that is hard for a lot of people once they hit episode 4 or 5. I really enjoyed it! binged the whole thing in one sitting... the episode lengths do vary all over the place (most are 40-60 minutes) but there is one episode thats only 30 minutes and the premiere is about an hour and a half (and another interesting unconvential thing about the premiere is that the opening credits don't happen until like 55 minutes in haha). It's an interesting story. If you let the show take you on the journey, then the ending of the finale is really powerful... if you don't then you will just see it as incredibly stupid. For me, I just tell people to watch it and form your own opinion.

Just wanted to say I loved The Crown. I keep watching all the marvel stuff (Jessica Jones being the best so far). Thought Travelers with a great scifi show with some Stargtate/Continuum roots and looking forward to binging OA.  Netflix has really been producing some great television!

Okie, cause I skipped to the ending and found it incredibly stupid, but I was lacking understanding and suspence of disbelief. lol, I'll give it a try.

PSA that from now on every Disney movie in theaters will be available on Netflix a couple months after its release date.

I LOVED the Crown. One of my favourite Netflix series of 2016!! It was so well produced and directed.. the acting was also top notch.

Finna start Twin Peaks. ✌️

did you end up finishing it?? I still have to get around to it. I'm like 7 or 8 episodes into season 2 and I still don't freaking know who killed Laura Palmer jfc haha and at that point in the show the storylines are all so crazy and ****** up I don't know whos who and whats what anymore. But i'm willing to hop back on the crazy train since season 3 is coming out soon and I want to be ready for it!

So lame they deleted a lot of shit to "make room" for more trash. FD3 was deleted but not 1,2 or 4 same with LA and order seasons. Rip off. Unless the ran out of bandwidth... I hope Foolish House was worth it

Someone give me something to watch on Netflix and/or Hulu.

I ******* wish I could say a series of unfortunate events but I'm patiently waiting for the release

But hellevator is a somewhat funny scare show that's underrated.

their new sitcom that premiered last friday is AMAZING!!!!

One Day at a Time... it's up there with Black-ish. Funny but also hits a lot of important topics and does it with such ease and grace. Highly recommended for everyone!!! I binged the whole show yesterday and today. It'll make you laugh one minute, cry the next, and then laugh right after that. EVERYONE WATCH THIS!!!

Blackish is HYSTERICAL!! 

I'm currently watching The Killing and it's pretty good so far.

It was pretty good.

Season 1-2 are good (didn't like how long they stretched out the story but i was pleased with the payoff)

season 3 and 4 are blah...

So we already got One Day At A Time & A Series of Unfortunate Events in 2017... now Netflix's newest original series Santa Clarita Diet looks to also be KILLING the game (pun very much intended)... can't wait for this!

just started watching this Channel 4 show from the UK that Netflix bought distribution rights to called Crazyhead. It is amazing!!!!! I went in completely blind other than the very basic premise of it being about two girls who can see "evil" where others can not and that it's a horror/comedy from the creator of Misfists. The Misfists alone had me SOLD.

Highly recommended!! I'd say go in blind, but if you are curious to see more here is a trailer

MISFITS was soooo good for about the first 2 years but once Rudy came, Nathan left and Kelly's actress chav *** made those racist comments I was through with it. It was such a flop the rest of the run. But yeah I love me some british television. We need more Doctor Who fans here.

Alicia ******* to the water bottle will forever be epic.
