Only paying for a month
Dark
Do this one first and then come back.
- Travelers
- The OA
- Money Heist
- Squid Game
- MindHunter
- Altered Carbon
- Black Mirror
Those are the ones I can think of right now. There’s also a bunch of anime that’s worth watching if you’re into that.
Of course black mirror! Thanks mate
FYI some of these were cancelled early like The OA and Altered Carbon. From memory, Altered Carbon had a pretty open ending to both seasons so you could watch the first or both and feel satisfied, but The OA was very much unfinished and the cancellation was painful for fans.
The second season was not great. Anthony Mackie is not a good actor.
The first season was a 10/10 for me, and it is a complete story
I still think The OA is worth watching even though it was cancelled. I really enjoyed it.
It’s extremely unique, so I agree. I certainly don’t regret watching it, but it is perhaps the most painful cancellation for me. Shows like that deserve to be funded to completion.
The bad news is you’ll never see another episode of The OA.
The good news is there is a support group. We meet every Thursday in r/FireFly
I wish someone would reboot “Travelers”.
It has Canadian Hotch
Vs
he kinda looks like will from will and grace but a little fuller face.
First season of Altered Carbon. Black Mirror. I Think You Should Leave. BoJack Horseman. Fall Of The House Of Usher.
Binge 1 season cancelled shows and decide whether you agree with their cancellations.
Mate that’s a form of self harm
So is paying for a Netflix sub. I thought it fits…
Haha fair point
I miss the second season of the dark crystal. I wanted to see the genocide…
Midnight mass
The best show they have
Ooooh I’d not heard of that thanks
If you like it and have time, check out Mike Flanagan’s other stuff. He has done all his series through Netflix AFAIK.
I would recommend them in order. Start with Haunting of House Hill but they’re all fantastic
Haunting of hill house gave me nightmares fucking terrifying
Midnight Mass, Midnight Club, Haunting of Hill House, Haunting of Bly Manor, Fall of the House of Usher
It’s Mike Flanigan all the way down
Arcane season 1 is one of the best shows, live action or animated, that I’ve seen. It is 10/10 storytelling, world building, visuals, pacing, character development, voice acting, soundtrack…it has no right to be as good as it is. If you watch it, know that the 9 episodes were intentionally released 3 episodes at a time because they’re like acts of a play.
Do you like strong women? Character choices that make sense? Commentary on social structures? Creative portrayals of trauma? Stories where the consequences are terrible because everyone really believes they’re doing the right thing, and you can see everyone’s point? Welcome to Arcane, where the H stands for Happiness.
Season 2 is…meh in my opinion. It has cool moments but they shifted from a character driven story to a plot driven one and it throws off the pacing and suspension of disbelief. Still gorgeous to look at.
But season 1 is worth it on its own. Others may disagree, but I think if they had ended it where they did with season 1 it would be a perfectly self contained story.
I’d say the problem with season 2 is that they just had too much plot. I assume they learned that they wouldn’t get a third season and tried to cram two seasons worth of plot into one. It’s still phenomenal and I recommend to watch it but it suffers from its fast pacing that leaves little room for the characters to breathe and some side plots underdeveloped.
If you like animated shows, Scavenger’s Reign is on there, and fantastic too.
Seconding this recommendation. SO GOOD
Hellbound.
Korean political/horror.
Angels appear to various people and tell them that in three days they are going to Hell. Three days later, demons appear and kill those people. Then the religious leaders, organized mobs, and politicians get involved.
How to Get to Heaven from Belfast
It’s a horror comedy series about a set of 4 friends that were besties - inseparable - then became estranged for 20 years after A Mysterious Event
And now 3 of them are meeting up cause one of them died
Great show! I was not expecting it to be as good as it was.
I kinda knew it was gonna be great cause Derry Girls writer (excellent comedy series about a school in Derry, focused on the titular group of friends) and Ardal O’hanlan is in it (national treasure that is very picky about his scripts and only picks shows he likes the writing of)
You had me at “Derry girls writer” it’s on the list thanks
Russia doll is real good.
I liked the first season but couldn’t get into the 2nd…
TV Shows
- Mindhunter
- The Crown S1 and S2
- When they See Us
- The Queen’s Gambit
- Ozark (though it gets messy and bad at times it has incredible moments)
- Sense8
- Godless
- Maid
Though Spacey is a total piece of shit and the US has basically elected Frank twice:
- House of Cards S1 and S2 were incredible TV, prior to 2016.
Movies
- The Ballad of Buster Scruggs
- The Trial of the Chicago 7
- Beasts of No Nations
- The Good Nurse
I’m still not over mindhunter being cancelled
Oh I know!
I want to know what happens to that poor little boy
first season of Norsemen is really fun. the other seasons? meh I don’t know they had a good theme going with the first and then for whatever reason decided to take the show seriously.
I think 1670 is the funniest shit ive ever seen.
Bugonia was just added, that film tripped me out, I thought it very good
Bugonia was very good. A bit rough around the edges in some spots but it was a genuinely great new IP
One piece live action is great.
Soil
The title does it a severe injustice
