  • Samurai Gourmet

    —

    ,

    This past Sunday I binged the entire season of Samurai Gourmet, a new series that was just added to Netflix. It’s a Japanese series that tells the story of a 60-year-old man who just entered retirement, and starts enjoying his post-work life through the lens of simple joys that he rediscovers, which pretty much all…

  • Iron Fist

    —

    Let me start by stating how I feel about the Marvel Netflix series so far: I thought the first season of Daredevil was fantastic, and I was especially wowed by Fisk and the great fight choreography; season 2 of Daredevil was a disappointment, and although I liked the portrayal of The Punisher, I felt that sticking him…

  • Santa Clarita Diet

    —

    The latest series I’ve been watching during lunch time at work with colleagues (I started a “Watch Club,” and so far we’ve watched Crazy Head and Medici) is Santa Clarita Diet, and I’m absolutely loving it so far (from the first two episodes). Funny as hell, and yet it gets pretty dark — and gory…

  • Katherine Ryan: In Trouble

    —

    I’d never heard of Katherine Ryan, but I saw her Netflix comedy special, In Trouble, pop up while I was browsing for something to watch and was in the mood for some laughs. I ended up really enjoying her routine — I definitely do tend to enjoy crass comedy from female comics (think Sarah Silverman, Ali…

  • Cyborg 009: The Call of Justice

    —

    ,

    Although I’ve heard of the franchise, I’ve never actually read or watched any Cyborg 009. I saw that a new series just debuted on Netflix, and so decided to watch the first episode. So far so good — the episode does a good job of setting up the whole thing, so I don’t feel like…

  • Abstract: The Art of Design

    —

    I was quite looking forward to watching this documentary series that just debuted on Netflix this weekend, following the tease from Scott Dadich in the latest issue of Wired (Dadich is Executive Producer on the series). I watched the first episode, covering one of my favorite illustrators, Christoph Niemann. It’s really well done, with slick…

  • Riverdale

    —

    I didn’t think I’d watch this series — although I was kinda interested when I heard it had a Twin Peaks influence, I didn’t think I wanted to watch an Archie show. But it popped up on Netflix (here in Canada), and so I thought it might be fun to watch with my wife (who…

  • Medici: Masters of Florence

    —

    For our lunch time “Watch Club” at work, after we got done watching Crazyhead, we moved on to this, and so far it’s been pretty good (we’ve watched the first 4 episodes of 8). It’s a pretty decent story, with a good cast, and hey, who doesn’t like watching Robb Stark. The only thing that…
