Starting that new Grisham docuseries now.

Trailer looks great and these true crime docuseries are my jam.

I’m glad “Making A Murderer” was such a success - it’s lead to a bunch of great content.

Watched 4 episodes last night and like it. A little too much reenactment, but that's hard to get around sometimes.

Roma is fantastic.  Watch it by yourself, when you're well rested. 

It's comfortably paced. 

Seconded. About half an hour in I was getting Linklater vibes with all the meandering but somewhere along the way the story catches you and it's also not hard to notice this guy is a fuckin pro with the camera work. Beautiful movie for being black & white.

Wow, has any "netflix" movie ever been as praised as Roma?  (Dropping today.) 

Christmas Chronicles seems to be getting a lot of rave reviews from family and friends with kids.   Will have to watch it and compare it to the Chilling Adventures of Sabrina’s Christmas special.

The overly dramatic reenactments are really bad, but the rest of the content is very interesting.

Docs in general should stay away from reenactments, the thin blue line is the only one I can think of that did it well and those were pretty minimal.

Don't want to go back through the thread, so I am just going to ask....

Has anyone watched Bad Blood?  Is it worth it?  Saw it was only 6 episodes so may check it out regardless, but just wondering what yall thought of it.

Didn’t watch but it was not well received here. Nothing but mafia cliches was the consensus.

Christmas Chronicles is the best Christmas movie I've seen since Elf.
Whole family loved it.

Wow.  We watched it last night, and felt like it was pretty much crap.  But in the spirit of Christmas, bless you and may the spirit of the season be upon you.

I'd need to see a list, but I think the field of modern Christmas movies is pretty weak that you might still be able to crown Christmas Chronicles as best and it still kind of suck.  I agree it's fine for the kids, but it's just more schlock through adult eyes.  Not enough Jack Burtonesque humor.

I'll second that Christmas Chronicles is a fun movie worthy of family night.  Cheesy af, but since everyone should expect that going in, it's thoroughly enjoyable.

Agreed. The family and I really enjoyed it.

Little Dieter Needs to Fly

An older documentary about Dieter Dengler and his amazing journey. As a small child in Germany during WW2 he learned one thing. He needed to fly. The price he paid to do so was astounding. Great film about an amazing human being.

A Futile and Stupid Gesture, about the life of Doug Kenney and the launch of the National Lampoon.  

Watched the first 40 minutes this morning.  As the guy who jumped  off the Brooklyn Bridge said on his way to the East River, "So far, so good."  Nicely captures the early 70s and Lampoon look and feel.

It's a Christmas movie so cheesy as fuck should be implied.

No I don't believe so.  The Last Kingdom is one of the few examples where the show version has done a really nice job of streamlining a story that got repetitive from time to time in the books.

Just started Last Kingdom because of this thread. On episode two and am highly intrigued. 

Nice.  The good thing is it actually gets better.  I thought the first couple of episodes were a bit sluggish, but it picks ups.  The Pacing and just how much happens from episode to episode is pretty fast.

Nice to hear...thought about trying to find it.

I’m enjoying the hell out of Happy, although I’m not sure how they’ll be able to keep up with the drunken debauchery for eight episodes.

watch The Last OG... 

I binge the fuck out of this 

As in Morgan? Nope, I don't.  In fact I find him vomit inducing.

Just watched the first episode of Hip Hop evolution. "The southern way"
Brings back memories. I was one of the white kids listening to 2 live Crew that got my hard core christian parents riled up. Sorry about that uncle Luke.

Good segment on Houston also with Geto Boys and UGK.

It can not be over stated how awful Bad Blood is. Easily the worst show on netflix or anything that exists right now. I'd rather watch This is Us.

That sucks.  I got excited when I saw the Netflix ad.  Guess I'll pass.

Agreed. This show is horrible.

On an unrelated topic, could the eventual ability of Facebook to provide premium content as HBO & Showtime cause any changes for Netflix..? I doubt it...

Been watching first and last, sorta like the first 48 but follows people on their first or last day of jail. 6 episodes about 40 mins long. 

Like avon says, you only do two days anyhow - that's the day you go in and the day you get out

Been watching 1983. The dubbing is atrocious, so you gotta switch it to the original Polish and turn the subtitles one. Two episodes in and really enjoying it.

That’s funny, I couldn’t stand the overdubs either so I quit watching. It’s like the people they got to do the voiceovers aren’t actors but simply translators. Their inflection is horrible and makes even the best dialogue comical
