The "did you know this streams on Netflix?" thread

Really wanted to like Murderville with Will Arnett and a different guest star each episode. Improv comedy show based on a British show apparently. Some funny moments but a lot of cringe in between. If you feel like checking it out, the only two I liked were the Marshawn Lynch episode and the Conan OBrien episode. Marshawn improvs his name to Detective Bagabitch and that was probably the best moment of the entire series. Worst episode was Ken Jeong who I would've guessed would be the best just seeing the names.

I watched all six episodes and really liked them. I agree that Ken Jeong wasn't as funny as I would've thought. However, I thought Annie Murphy, Conan O'Brien, and especially Kumail Nanjiani were very funny. Marshawn Lynch was good and Sharon Stone was kind of boring and cringy.

Ken has his moments but I don't think he has any background in improv-- I could be wrong. I didn't see his episode-- just the first few. Conan of course was great since he has a lot of chemistry w Will Arnett and is a master comedy writer and improvisationist. Beastmode being awesome is just because he's an unfiltered, funny dude. I can only do one of these in one sitting bc it really requires you to be semi-engaged to pick up all the good stuff you might miss.

"The Adam Project". Meh. C+. Sort of interesting plot but very uneven. A couple of touching scenes, but then others meant to tug at heartstrings fall flat. Ryan Reynolds does his usual good looking snark, but just not very engaging. Watch 'Free Guy' again instead.

The Formula 1 show on Netflix is tremendous, highly recommended.

I've actually watched the first two F1 Grand Prixes this year, which started just a few weeks ago, and loved it.

Rush, a totally underrated movie that came out back in 2013 and hardly made any money in the theaters, is also on Netflix. Niki Lauda and James Hunt both came from wealthy families, and surprisingly many of the current drivers also come from wealthy backgrounds.

New season has dropped!

Also, this would be cool.

Netflix is pushing it with the new price hike combined with the threat of cracking down on password sharing (we let our adult kids use our password). Do I spend $20/month on dumber things? Sure. But Netflix is probably my 3rd or 4th streamer on the "go to" scale. Definitely a sub $20 service for me.

We typically only subscribe for one month per year - whenever the latest season of Stranger Things drops.

I don't think I'll risk the familial mutiny, unless it's more than 20/month.

Yeah they are overplaying their value a bit as far as I'm concerned. They've been heavily displaced by Disney+ and HBOMax over the last few years. Netflix has some good stuff every once in a while but they aren't the *premier* streaming service they once were.

I'm cutting it. Haven't told my youngest, however, who is currently streaming Barbie, Life in the Dream House while she's sick.

Definitely. Disney+ is what- $7? Same w Hulu? I think people are just paying Netflix because they are used to paying for Netflix. This won't go well.

We just finished Inventing Anna. Fascinating story but way to sympathetic of her at the end. She is an evil sociopath.

Yeah, exactly this. I rarely watch Netflix but keep it out of inertia. That may change now (although I think my son's ex-boyfriend, who has the password, is still an active watcher)

I have my finger on a hair trigger rn to cancel it. The exact minute I get a notification I've been charged bc somebody out there w my password watched something is the minute I cancel it.

An unbelievable F1 season writes itself for the new season. I wanted Verstappen to break the Mercedes stranglehold, but the end of the last race was pretty sketch.

They're bringing a third race to the US next year to be held in Vegas. It's street circuit, half of which is on the strip running from the Venetian to, I believe, just south of the Bellagio.
