What did you watch on Netflix/Hulu/other streaming sites?

candy_coated_bitch · 06-09-2019, 03:15 AM

Handmaid's Tale, America's Got Talent, The Bachelorette (I know,I know), re-watching Criminal Minds. I need something new so I'm happy for GeorgiaMa'am's suggestion!

Lyte · 06-11-2019, 02:01 PM

I still can't do Handmaid's Tale. I hear it's not gotten anymore "positive" … so it'll likely just piss me off again! lol

I watched the first half of the 1st episode (the Pilot), this TV series will cause many to react to triggers: drugs, sex, mental illnesses...

There is quite a lot of controversy regarding this show.

Actually, I got bored half-way thru the first episode, and stopped watching.

Spoiler alert:

The kid is numbering window panes in her mind and keeps getting interrupted by the control-freak mother, and so starts crying; so, the mom takes her to a shrink, and the shrink labels her with a zillion mental illnesses, and she is prescribed all sorts of meds!! It goes downhill from there.

Ya know, I didn't think she had that bad of a childhood apart from that one incident, so I had problems believing the story line (apparently, her sister was "normal" - whatever that means! - and the fact that there was no sexual abuse in childhood, no beating, no abandonment, so it was difficult to believe how her illness develops). A lot of passionless, mindless, mediocre teenagers with nothing better to do than think about sex, and drugs, and ... you get it! I wonder what teenagers watching this will or might identify with the characters...

I watched 3 episodes and i have not felt driven to pick it back up again, but i did not have a believability issue with her illness. Childnood mental illness is not caused by trauma.

I did wonder why we don't see any OCD behaviors after the windowpane-counting scene, though. They are not showing any pathology except substance use in the non-flashback scenes, and that is not realistic.

I love Zendaya's acting in this though, and i love the Jules character-- she reminds me of sweet trans girls i have known who did not get to live with their parents or go to high school, and makes me sad for them

Since yesterday, I've been catching up on NBC's series - This Is Us, via Netflix.

Today, I discovered the Netflix series called, The Office.

I like both of them, This Is Us & The Office, a lot.

How excellent to know This is Us is on Netflix! I started watching it on the NBC streaming site on Sling but it was unpredictable at best (the streaming). I enjoyed what I did see and can’t wait to see how it unfolds.

For myself, I’ve been watching Bosch on Prime and also watched a documentary series called The Eleven about a suspected serial killing from the 70s. Kept me intrigued but made me feel slightly more disgusted with our legal system at the same time.

JDeere · 07-28-2019, 08:27 PM

Netflix called Bad Blood.

Yes - I love dark dramas but even the Handmaid’s Tale was a bit much for me. Just too much gloom and general weirdness.

Lyte · 06-22-2019, 10:48 PM

Indeed. Major bummer show for me.

Just seeing this now. No, it's not any more "positive" but I am feeling this season has slowed down a bit. But I am still loyal fan.

girl_dee · 06-29-2019, 10:47 PM

We’ve just finished watching One Day at a Time.

LOVE this show! Rita Moreno is a delight!

This brings all the unusual topics of comedy shows to light very tastefully. Moms dealing with teenage gay child, deadbeat ex husband, one kid trying pot, an aging mother, being a single mom, tight finances...

One of my favorite scenes is where the gay daughter is explaining why we have to ask what pronouns gay folks prefer!

JDeere · 06-30-2019, 03:21 AM

Golem on Netflix

Lyte · 06-30-2019, 10:02 PM

I liked it too! Sadly, I think I read that it's not being picked up for another season.

We saw that but a cable channel called POP is going to sign up for Season 4!!!

Lyte · 07-27-2019, 10:09 PM

This is one f'ed up "superhero" show! I'm all... WTF?! ... and intrigued... and a lil afraid of what f'ed up thing they're gonna do next! It's like being in a train wreck while watching train wreck! Not for kids... yikes!

That is terrific news! I love the new One Day at a Time. And they can't just leave Abuela trapped in Cuba forever!

JDeere · 06-23-2019, 10:52 PM

Netflix

The Immigrant from 2013

Lyte · 06-24-2019, 04:58 PM

Mohammed Ali: What's My Name on HBO. Super documentary! Informative, enlightening, dramatic… a must watch!

I confess I'm a bit conflicted about Mohammed Ali. He demonstrated so many of the best qualities any human being could possess and at the same time, he demonstrated some of the worst human traits. <-- which is true for most people but unlike most people, he was a huge presence in the world … I mean literally … in the whole wide world! I think … my conflicted feelings come from not knowing for certain whether or not he was an amazing human being and a jerk, or if he was an amazing human being with a jerk persona. Then again, can we really know anyone for certain?

In any case, we do know the amazing part is for damn certain! Check it out...

Lyte · 06-24-2019, 05:44 PM

Currently watching Sneaky Pete on Amazon. There are three seasons available for binging. It's from the same people that brought us Justified, Americans and Breaking Bad … Graham Yost, Bryan Cranston and Margo Martindale <-- love her!

It's an interesting drama with an interesting premise. Mostly, everyone's a grifter trying to grift everyone else!

lol

cinnamongrrl · 06-25-2019, 03:50 AM

I’m currently trying to savor The Spanish Princess on Starz via Prime. I have only one episode left. I certainly hope it returns.
