What to Watch Instantly on Netflix? (and now all streaming services)

[Ghost Econ]

I've noticed that Max is now showing unskippable ads for their own shows during ad breaks, but not marking them as ads. So they'll show a couple of regular ads that count down to zero, then show an ad for their own show that I guess doesn't count as an ad.

These things just keep giving less value for the price.

I get so angry when a streaming service runs an ad for their own stuff. Like just feature it on your menu or something.

Interesting YT channel that follows up on what happened after the "karen" videos

First season the The Bear was awesome. Now it seems like they are trying to win emmys.

The Rotten Tomatoes score is like a downward spiral. Happens with some prestige type shows. They start thinking too much of themselves.

Watched the Paul Reubens/Pee-wee Herman documentary, "Pee-wee as Himself". Absolutely excellent. I think it's on HBO Max in the States. I didn't realize how many of the people that were on Pee-wee's Playhouse went on to do much bigger things.

I haven't watched yet, but I know he was connected to so many talented people. Like his college roommate was David Hasselhof.

Doing our annual rewatch of "John Adams" over the holiday weekend. It really is hard to think of a better cast show than this one.

Yeah that's the saddest episode of any show I've ever watched holy shit.

Oof. Just watched it. Heartbreaking…

I’ve just discovered a show called parking wars and it’s literally people yelling at parking enforcement officers for giving them tickets. More often than not the people are standing next to there cars with a no parking sign in clear view.

Hulu's Paradise is pretty entertaining so far (through ep3). Already renewed for s2 so that's someone to look forward to.

It starts off with secret service agents guarding an ex-president but then there's a reveal and then the fun begins.


EDIT: just finished s1.

If you like apocalyptic shows, you'd like ep 7 "The Day". I've seen variations of it but IMO this episode portrays it the best.

After months, we finally finished Ripper Street. I'm not sure what the opposite of binge-watching is, but that's me. Anyway, I can't deny it was marvelously acted and the scenery, costumes, etc., we're well done. I just wish the show had stayed true to its start and been a bit more formulaic and not gotten subsumed by the myriad of plots that turned it into a "tail wags the dog" show. I prefer overly complicated and ornate in my music, but not my TV.

Where are they filming next? We still haven't watched the Canada season, but I read it wasn't very good.
