    I’ve been very disappointed with a lot of Netflix’s sci-fi releases, especially when it comes to movies, and so came in to this with low expectations, even if I was quite interested in watching it. By the director of Gattaca, it feels stylish in that same way, and has an interesting premise — our eyes…

    ,

    I didn’t think this would really be for me — I remember finding the premise of the character (an office lady who loves death metal) pretty funny, but didn’t think much of it beyond that — but I got curious when the animated series popped up on Netflix the other day, and I gotta say…

  • The Chalet

    —

    I really enjoyed this series, that popped up on Netflix recently. It’s a 6-episode mystery set in a small village in France, with a group of people “stranded” and deaths starting. That’s always the best of setups when it comes to mysteries, and my wife and I both had a good time watching it. I…

  • Santa Clarita Diet (Season 2)

    —

    I loved the first season, and I think the second season is just as good if not better. The cast is just so fantastic and perfect, and they keep finding fun ways to extend the premise. I really hope we get another season.

  • Lost in Space

    —

    I watched the first episode of Netflix’s new Lost in Space series, and gotta say I was really impressed. That first episode feels like a movie more than a TV series (in terms of production values), and it sets things up quite nicely for what’s to follow (i.e. I really want to know where this…

  • Everything Sucks

    —

    This has been described as Freaks & Geeks but set in the 90s, and that’s actually not a bad description. I’m 5-6 episodes in, and having a really good time watching it. The kids are great, the story is fun, and the soundtrack is, well, it’s pretty much all the stuff that I was listening…

  • Fred Armisen: Standup for Drummers

    —

    I quite enjoyed this standup special on Netflix. The gimmick is that the audience is entirely composed of drummers, and a lot of the material is drumming-related. I generally like Fred Armisen, always enjoyed him on SNL, and I really like him here. All of the jokes aren’t gold, but he just has a fun…

  • The Cloverfield Paradox

    —

    So this popped up suddenly on Netflix, and everyone freaked out, and then the next day everyone one was saying it was shit. I liked the first Cloverfield movie fine, and really liked the second one, 10 Cloverfield Lane (would have liked Dan Trachtenberg to direct another one), and so I still wanted to check…
