Watched first ep.  Will keep going because i like most of the people involved, but it certainly wasn't amazing.

I really didn't like it all for about 4-5 episodes. Couldn't stand Gus.

It's growing on me though. Nothing earth shattering, but solid.

Where did you see this?  The list I typically use doesn't have it listed as dropping off in February.

Blue Ruin expires on 2/24 - worth checking out if you haven't seen it and worth watching again if your have. 

-----

I saw it on the "My List" page that lists the movies vertically instead of the main page that shows the movies horizontally.  From the main screen after you log in, find a menu at the top right to get to this My List page.

 
Thumbs up for Apatow's new show Love. If you are married or just enjoy a good roll in the hay with someone you will enjoy this show. It's like a walk down memory lane with all the places they show around hipster sections of Los Angeles/Silverlake/Los Feliz/West Side.

This is a good show. I'm a few episodes in and I think it's funny, just go in low expectations. They finally found Geddy Lee's lovechild in Paul Rust.

seconding Numb's rec of The Returned... two seasons, very well done, consistent, creepy and beautifully shot and located.

Visually speaking....this show has to probably be the best I have ever seen.
From the landscapes to the town it is being shot at to the direction incorporating those attributes into the show. Just stunningly amazing.
The show is worth it alone if you are into picturesque type shows.

I am doing this show an injustice. I'm at 2.6 and I find myself watching it when laying down for bed and having to shut it off as I am passing out.
Enjoying it but finding myself not knowing what is going on and getting thrown off with the time line.
May have to go back and rewatch when I am done

 
OK.....I'll do it.

Fuller House.

Just watched 1st ep.

Very well done. Lots of fun humor and for young and old. Good Ole nostalgic show bringing everyone back. Will probably watch the rest today with the kids.

Stephanie's boobs look amazing. Hope there is more.

DJ looks good. I thought she was a  :porked:  after  the show.  Maybe that was like 20 years ago?

Danny looked reallllly awkward, like he forgot to remove  the clothes hanger from his shirt.  His voice was cracking as well several times. Really weird. 

Becky is still hot.

Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen were hiding in Stephanie's shirt I assume.

Netflix is really knocking things out the park. They have tapped into something good here. The possibilities are really endless and could make for some fun TV for today's kids and older folks who can binge watch 6 episodes for old times.

 
The ol' lady is excited for Fuller House, so we'll give it a whirl. No Olsen twins is a bummer, but I guess Stephanie's boobs will get me through.

I'm 8 episodes in. I like it. It's targeting the same audience as Master of None. So if you liked that, certainly check it out.

The leading guy is good in the role as a nerdy dude, but he gets way more attention from the ladies than is believable.

 
Crossing Lines Season 3 is out now.  I like this one even better than the first 2.  Most of the team has changed but they have been good, for the most part. 

 
I loved Fuller House. 

I mean, it was completely awful, cheesy and unfunny but I grew up with the show and they did a good job capturing the same sort of tropes and ideas from the original. 
Also, Stephanie and DJ are hot.
and Kimmy is the star IMO. She's perfect on the show and really funny.

Cool, this is exactly why I checked in.  My wife and I were on the fence about checking this one out, so thanks for the good review

 
not really sure how much its been mentioned as I am trying to avoid spoilers, but 10 episodes in on Bloodline and it is addicting. not a superfast show by any means but I think a must watch.

That sums it up perfectly. It is, objectively, a bad show. There's no doubt about that. If it came out today, not as a remake of a childhood show, it wouldn't have been worth watching.

But it was (is, renewed for S2) a nice stroll down memory lane to see what became of those Tanner girls (that they became smoking hot is quite a plus). The 2016 show knows what it it is and fulfilled that purpose.

I really can't decide how much I liked it. For 80% of the show, the main guy was really annoying (he's supposed to be). 

It's a bad girl want's a "good guy" for a change type of show for a change, but at the end of the day, there still needs to be some compelling reasons that these two might pick each other. I'm not sure I ever got to the point of ever thinking these two would really pick each other. I guess maybe it's interesting that she's down to go the "good guy" route, but gets fooled as it turns out that the geek is really just another #######. I don't think that's what the show was going for, but that's how it played to me. 

It's got it's moments, and Gillian Jacobs is great, but the show didn't quite do it for me. Worth watching, but I'd guess there are at least a dozen or 30 better shows on Netflix/Amazon/Hulu for everyone that they haven't seen yet, but that are much better ("Casual" comes to mind, the Hulu show that nobody's seen but is awesome).

 
Four episodes in and House of Cards is like watching an old dog you know you're going to have to put down soon.  Sure, every now and then there's a sparkle in the eye that reminds you of when it was young and vibrant, but otherwise it just lays there.

Just wanted to add that something is proposed at the end of episode 3 that is so ludicrous, so beyond the pale of reality that it would make the writers on The Young and the Restless blush.

 
Watched about 5 minutes of Flaked and turned it off. I like Will Arnett so I will probably give it another try later.

So what I'm hearing is just go ahead and cancel the Netflix subscription.

I feel the same way, except now reading about the little girls all grown up with the boobs and so forth, I gotta admit, I'm curious. I may have to check it out.

 
Anyone watch the Barkley Marathons yet?  I found it very entertaining.  What a crazy race.  All you runners will certainly enjoy it.

Happy Valley Season 2 is out. Far more excited about this than House of Cards (stuck in mid season 3 and I doubt I'll ever catch up).

For those that liked Broadchurch and The Fall, Happy Valley is even a little better, imo.
