Netflix & streaming video stuff worth watching

It also broke the record for most views of any movie on Netflix.

Sandler's next 7 movies will be Netflix exclusives.

The long take in the "Charlie Work" episode of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (S10 E4) is fantastic. It wasn't all one continuous shot, but only one of the cuts seemed kinda obvious. Still, about a third of the episode was filmed in one shot. One of the more entertaining pieces of television I've seen in recent years.

Watched the first episode of Jessica Jones. It's everything you'd expect from a series based on a comic strip. Actually, it's not too bad though. Definitely NSFW content. lol

Ex Machina (2015) - Amazon Prime:

This is a low-budget indie film that's been very well-reviewed (92% on Rotten Tomatoes). I finally checked it out because I noticed it stars Domnhall Gleeson (General Hux from Star Wars), and realized while watching that it also stars Oscar Isaac (Poe Dameron)! Both play very different characters here. I enjoyed it.

Sons of Anarchy

All done; entire episodes

. Pretty damn good however S5 thru S7 was so-so, even kinda awful. Except final episode .... "Papa's Goods", touching IMO.

Anyway, SOA soundtrack was excellent with the exception of opening credit song (every episodes - ugh!).

My tic-tac pet peeve critic .... Charming, only 14,000 population yet whole bunch of violent killings within 3 years in Charming town or outskirts. I know, only make believe movie.

Repetitive phrase (overused and annoying IMO): "I Promise" ..... "I'll Handle It" ....... "I'm Sorry". Repetitive means 1000 times !!!

Can't go wrong with Breaking Bad. I've been through it 3 times and thinking about having another go at it.
Currently been binging on House of Cards on Netflix since Christmas time. It's really good. Didn't think I would like it but got hooked. It's one of those shows where you end up hating almost all of the characters and keep watching in the hopes they will have to pay for all the bad sh#t they do.

I have to modify my recommendation for House of Cards. The first 2 seasons were really good but the 3rd season sucks big time. Not sure I'll even be able to finish. Don't know if they had changes in the writing/direction or if it's just a result of the storyline running out of anywhere to go. Can't imagine it could continue any further.

I didn't like House of Cards, either. Gave up watching about 3/4 of the way through the first season. Huge fan of Kevin Spacey, and of course Robin Wright, but it just never caught my attention. Too much of it seemed forced.

I've watched a few episodes of Jessica Jones, too. The sex scenes are unnecessarily over the top. I don't understand the point of that. It takes me out of the show and seems added in just to make it edgy. It's OK otherwise. I guess.

 
Making my 4th pass through It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. I think it gets funnier every time.

I've concluded season 3 is the best season. Starts to get a little hit-and-miss towards the end of season 4, but there's still plenty of great episodes in every one of the later seasons.

I don't think it was ever the same after season 5. very hit and miss for me since season 6.

loved season 1 even though frank isn't in it. more grounded, relatable versions of the characters.

i think season 3 is the best season too. loved every episode, although, i'd say the gang solves the gas crisis from season 4 is my all-time favorite.
