Netflix & streaming video stuff worth watching

[The Dude]

Been re-watching GoT from the beginning. Can't believe all the little things I missed the first, and in some cases the second, time through. You guys that refuse to watch really should reconsider.

They killed off my favorite characters in season 1. No reason to continue.

They do have a tendency to kill off the good guys. But it makes it that much sweeter when the bad guys get theirs. What I like is anything can happen at anytime and nobody seems to be untouchable. They don't always save the big stuff for the last show of the season.

Just finished season 3 of Breaking Bad. That show gets better each season.

Started up Iron Fist. The 4th Marvel hero in The Defenders group. It's received a lot of bad publicity. Maybe it gets worse as the season progresses but I thought the first episode was very good.

Santa Clarita Diet on Netflix. Pretty funny comedy with Drew Barrymore, Timothy Olyphant and the boy from Vacation. It's a little twisted and different, almost has the feel of Dexter but a lot lighter. I'd recommend.

Edit- Binged all 10 episodes of season 1. It's definitely worth a look. But I retract the Dexter comparison. There is only one small aspect that reminds of that. This is very light comedy all the way, mostly poking fun at affluent suburban life with a funny twist on the zombie genre. Netflix Orignals is doing a much better job than the big networks imo. Looking forward to season 2.

I watched it as well. Good stuff!

Next up is "The Fall."

Seems pretty comparable to the Killing.

It took me 3 tries to get through the first episode, then I think we watched the rest in like 2-3 days.

It's really sad and makes you think about all the little things. Kids are so mean to each other, and they always have been. But now, with cell phones and social media, it stays with a kid forever. There is no such thing as ignoring and walking away anymore. I worked at a school with a startling suicide rate, and it's really scary.

Yeah, that first episode was rough to get through.

Mike Birbiglia's new standup is phenomenal. It has him neck and neck with Louis C.K. as my favorite living comedian.

My wife watched that over the past week. She's been buzzing about it. I'll have to check it out myself.

I just finished a documentary series on the Irish Mob and now started one on Prohibition that can be found on Netflix. The Irish Mob one was very well done except for the last episode and I'm only through episode 1 of the Prohibition one but it was very interesting. There was a lot in there that I never knew before.

Is it named "Irish Mob"? When I googled it, I came up with "Paddy Whacked" but I can't see where Ken Burns did it.

This stuff interests me.

Ken Burns did the prohibition one. It's a PBS documentary.

The Irish Mob one is literally called The Irish Mob. I know there was another called Paddywhacked, but didn't watch that one.

OK...watched The Irish Mob. That was pretty interesting.

Tried watching Prohibition and got about 30 minutes into the first episode. Man it starts off slow and dry.

"Seve" the movie. Excellent! One of the best things I've seen on Netflix recently.
