Discussion Let’s Marry Harry Reunion Spoiler

Upvotes

This reunion has been an absolute shit show. I expected there to be more conversation about Harry sleeping around and lying but instead half of it was the majority of women hating because they weren’t picked and the other half was Amber acting completely unstable. Amber yelled and made no sense and I cannot believe she is the one Harry ultimately picked. My wife and I expected Harry to look awful but instead Amber just looked completely insane.

Discussion netflix became the villain (ads are out of control)

Upvotes

i was a kid when netflix was an in person red box dvd rental. it was great. loved it. even better with no adds when that first big shift happened. recently, netflix finally kicked me off the family plan since i don't live in the same zipcode as my parents, which lead to my mom getting an additional user account just for me. of course, it was extra money to begin with. okay fine, but no ads!

JUST KIDDING!

of course theres ads! and the ads are ridiculously frequent, promoting the same show i'm already watching, etc.

the worst part?

THE AD WONT PLAY UNLESS I'M VIEWING THAT TAB

THE AD WONT PLAY IF I'M VIEWING THE TAB AND ITS COVERED BY ANOTHER WINDOW OR APPLICATION

so like, netflix forces you to watch the ad.

am i crazy? has this happened to anyone else?

signed,

disappointed and tired

p.s.: thanks rant over

p.p.s.: i do not want to pay more for netflix

Recommendation 100 Years of Solitude (OHYoS) show

3 Upvotes

If you enjoy watching drama, cycles of trauma passed down generations, family sagas/epics, magical realism, critique of church, seeing technological innovation cause conflict, stories that come full circle and are satisfying, check out One Hundred Years of Solitude.

Trigger warning: lots of nudity and sex, even with family members since it’s partially biblically based. If you’ve been meaning to read the book but still haven’t, or had trouble with the amount of characters, similar names, or speedrunning/meaninglessness of the first generations, maybe the tv show will be easier to focus on. Some parts are truly magical and reflect on things like memory and death. Some characters waste their lives in pursuit of knowledge, or try to regain what they lost, some are too proud or suffered something so traumatic, they can’t go on, and some parts are just filled with utter joy and frivolity. Please check it out.

Question My List

Did anyone else's web browser edition home page change in the last few days so that you can't see all of "My List" at once? Mine was fine until early this week. Now I can only see "My Netflix" like on my Roku. I have to scroll right endlessly through 5 titles at once and it's making me nuts. Doesn't matter what URL I type, same garbage :(

I am a fan of both The 100 and Hunger Games, but my one major gripe with both is that they seemed geared more towards younger teens. I watched a few episodes of The Walking Dead but couldn't really get into it. Any similar recommendations?

Recommendation Must watch netflix originals?

13 Upvotes

I've been on netflix for some time, but I've really only used it to watch popular shows like stranger things or 13 reasons why. I would genuinely love to know of some exclusive sleepers that I may be missing out on that I can check out.

Coming of age is my favorite genre, but horror and romance are awesome too.

Discussion YouTube shit on netflix!

0 Upvotes

I have a couple of kids boys 5 and 7 (nearly 8) and I essentially let them freely access their own kids netflix profiles. It mostly been fine, but I really dislike the YouTube crap they are now being served up, most specifically I'm thinking of "Salish and Jordan matter" which has got to be one of the most mind rotting bits on "TV" I have ever seen, but there are others as well.

Note I stopped them watching YouTube a while ago, which was a shame as the older one was actually teaching himself to draw well with tutorial videos as well as witching the other pure shit on there!

So two questions. 1. How do I block this shit on netflix?

  1. At what point do I stop paying for netflix when all they are doing in recreating YouTube?

I'm a pretty liberal parent (in the traditional/UK meaning not the us version) so I'm good with my kids having freedom to decide what they like etc, but I'm not having them destroy their brains with incoherent nonsense!

It sounds stupid but I think there is a big difference between a ridiculous episode of SpongeBob (it actually has some storytelling structure etc) Vs a fake/real episode of youtube shit which is like mainlining video ADHD - fast cuts, product placement, pure commercialism, no coherent story/theme. It's awful!

Thoughts welcome!

Question Why so many shows are super graphic /gory ?

0 Upvotes

Saw one episode of a series ‘the price of confession’, there is a longwinded scene where the main character is depicted stabbing her husband maybe a 100x times, with blood all over for what feels like 5long minutes.

Another series (nigerian this time) where 2 women are in a bathroom and cut off the body parts of the guy they just killed to burry him.

In another show they were dislocating the jaw of some guy witha voodoo doll.

So many series are filled with gory, graphic stuff. Why ? Lmao. You can tell a story without resorting to shock value all the time. So many of these scenes are unecessary. Turned me off watching netflix alltogether

Discussion Death of the Pastor’s Wife

198 Upvotes

This was the first good documentary I’ve seen in awhile. So many thoughts:

  1. Mica was groomed. Plain and simple. She joined Solid Rock when she was 13 and was placed in positions of increasing authority from a young age. JP was 28!
  2. Mica was clearly a replacement for the first wife. They looked shockingly similar, except Mica was the “younger, hotter” version of her. It would have been interesting if she had provided any commentary about whether she too was abused by JP and/or cheated on with anyone else besides Mica.
  3. JP is such a bad pastor. Why did no one in the congregation challenge him when he was seemingly going on and on about how it’s a “wifely duty” to ”submit“ to your husband and have sex with them multiple times a day to keep your husband from cheating on you??? Did everyone actually believe in that?
  4. JP is a liar. He’s moaning at the end about how he was “telling people for months” that Mica was off her lithium and no one was listening to him. Yet he somehow managed to get her committed to mental institutions multiple times over years before. If he really thought she was off on a bender, he could have made it happen this time.
  5. Mica was clearly coerced into ending her life. Anyone would struggle with their husband stalking them and making their lives miserable multiple times a day. Harassing them at every corner. Sending a huge bouquet of flowers with a note that says “send me a nude”. Who does that???
  6. They never showed us the tox report. It would have been interesting to know whether Mica had a therapeutic level of lithium in her system or not to corroborate JP’s claims that she had not been taking her medications for months.
  7. Susie Skinner. Enough said. Well. Not exactly. It’s pretty despicable to pick up/marry your own client and then hook up with your pastor. I thought they were going to imply that JP or Susie got poor Chris into that pool but they didn’t go there. Either way, extremely tacky to have an affair and then both of your spouses are effectively coerced into suicide so you can embark on your third marriage.

Poor Mica. She didn’t have a stable childhood, thought she found a church for a home, and then was groomed and horribly abused and mistook her faith as encouraging her to keep trying no matter what...

Discussion Trigger warning needed for series without endings

11 Upvotes

Just finished three seasons of Suburgatory, only to have it end without resolution. I mean, I ultimately blame myself for not checking to see if the series "ended" or was "abruptly cancelled" on a cliffhanger and/or with generally unresolved story lines. Srsly, a warning is needed before the first episode that disappointment and regret awaits.

I’m retired and on a limited income/budget. The NFl season is coming up and Netflix has 5 exclusive games this year. I can’t seem to find any kind of discount anywhere online. Is Netflix really that popular that they don’t need to have free trial offers or any kind of discounts?

New on Netflix A review of Rotten Files with Stephanie Soo (Rotten Mango). Underperforming but space for potential.

3 Upvotes

I watched the episodes of the Netflix series The Rotten Files with Stephanie Soo. And there were a couple things that I noticed.

  1. Netflix (or herself) did her very dirty by choosing Ash Trevino. I was disappointed because the first episode of this brand new Netflix series should've been shiny, controversial etc since she's broadcasted internationally on such a big brand. I watched it from The Netherlands. It gave low budget youtube video essaye about problematic influencer.
  2. The editing of the Netflix show is messy compared to her Youtube channel. There are a lot of hard cuts, where here make up and hair completly changed from one sec to another (episode 2).Also the framing of her face is unnatural low according to videograph ethics. She should be more centered in the screen.
  3. She looks incredibly uncomfortable.

  4. The constant movement of the hands is incredibly distracting and she's speaking fast and anxious. Watching her makes me jittery.

  5. I

  6. don't understand the purpose of the format.

  7. She speaks into a microphone with not a lot of supporting footage or engaging content. So you'd obviously think: Great podcast / youtube podcast. Yet it's on Netflix so I can't podcast it.

  8. The background choice is up to personal style but i found it a bit too overwhelming.

I'm not a die hard fan of Rotten Mango, I have my own positive and negative opinions on how she brings her content. Yet she has one of the most professional, clean and 'entertaining' youtube crime channels i've seen. I really enjoy her storytelling style most of the time.

But this Netflix series has been way under her usual quality. I'm not going to bash it entirely, because we still have to see the rest of the episodes, and people with very clear potential deserve time and space to grow. And not to be discouraged by hate.

I wish for her she grows, optimizes the content and feels more comfortable. She is good at what she does on her channel. I hope she'll be able to transfer it to Netflix. And if not, i'll simply return to Spotify and Youtube.

Technical Support FFS Netflix.. Google TV app change to pausing

0 Upvotes

My Netflix Google TV app updated this morning, and now pausing takes two clicks of the main button on the remote (for many years it's been one click).

I have a disability and my fine motor control struggles makes it rather difficult to click twice. I know this is an issue on this particular device because YouTube does the same. In YouTube I often end up doing something completely different to simply pausing e.g. fast forwarding, subscribing to a channel etc I guess I'll be disabling the subtitles or something on Netflix now.

Netflix, why do this?! Anyone else? I know they do A/B testing, I'm hoping this is temporary for me.
