General Netflix Discussion-TV Shows

Currently watching the series Found on Netflix. Very good show, unfortunately it only ran for two seasons.

That one sounds interesting. It hadn't crossed any of my lists on Netflix.

A friend recommended it to me, and I am really enjoying it.

We binged BLACK RABBIT over the past few nights, which was excellent. Jude Law plays a successful restaurateur whose shady brother (Jason Bateman) comes back into his life, bringing ruin to everyone he encounters. Academy Award winner Troy Kotsur is amazing as the bad guy. Really good show, highly recommended.

Tonight we watched the first three (of four) episodes of the much-ballyhooed DINOSAURS documentary mini-series, which was meh. My son got up and left midway through episode two, and his reason for doing so was exactly what I was thinking at the time: Really disjointed, too much time-skipping, too little of interest. As soon as they set up an interesting scenario, they leap millions of years ahead, and never give you a climax to the conflict you just saw being set up. My wife and I will watch the last episode tomorrow, but I can't recommend this.

I'm glad you liked Black Rabbit. I thought it was one of the better shows I've watched recently and was pretty darn surprised when I saw its score on Rotten Tomatoes was only around 66%. I'm not a huge Jason Bateman fan--no underlying issues here, just most of his projects don't hit for me--but I thought he was great in the show. And we're in agreement about Troy Kotsur. What a nuanced portrayal he gives in the show.

Kotsur was also great as the dad in the recent chimp-goes-rabid film, PRIMATE. He has a lot of charisma, and I hope to see him get more juicy roles like the one in BLACK RABBIT.

I haven't had a chance to see Primate yet, but I think it might wind up on my Halloween viewing if I don't get to sooner than that. I'm pretty much going to agree with you again--I also hope to see him get some other great roles in the future. I guess this means I need to finally knock CODA from its perennial spot on the need-to-watch list.

Yeah, I really feel like I need to finally watch CODA at this point.
