Same here! Really a fun series.

I also liked the Korean series ‘ Prison Playbook ‘. Took a couple episodes for me to appreciate the format and style but I really enjoyed it.

We were fortunate to be able to see one movie either way. In this respect, we knew what the story would be and able to understand the English subtitles. The second viewing we actually saw the actions take place w/o having to look two places at once. This to our benefit.

Agree that when a movie is seen in the USA the dialogue should be in a language most understand. For that matter, those who actually LIVE in the USA should all understand English and learn the language. That they do not is their own poor choice. Schools, phone operating centers, etc. would be much more effective if they were NOT required to be versed in 150 different languages.

My German grandparents were able to learn. Why not everyone?

I dumped netflix because of their pro faggot agenda. Putting it on the screen just like fags were ordinary people.

Also, I watched Mel Gibson in "Get The Gringo" and the next thing I knew I had a ton of recommendations for messycan movies.

It's a waste of money at $1 month.

Not that Netflix doesn’t offer regional content, or anything like that. Load a VPN select Canada or another country and see what is offered there vs USA.

I have a low rate bandwidth so I can't get the full effect. I do appreciate that Netflix lowers the resolution rather than keeps the resolution high and has the movie start/stop a lot of times.

I like how stupid corporations are though. They haven't figured out that some people still have slower connections and they never lower the resolution. So the ads that Netflix shows at the top of the screen are all hurky jerky and useless to me. I often have to restart Netflix and get it in a mode so the ads don't show so I can actually search for movies ... which I seldom find.

OK. As an aside, at least some content providers have smartened up on VPN use. The BBC iPlayer, for example, won’t work. They see a whole bunch of people with the same IP address and just blacklist that.

I cancelled that pile of old magazines some time back because it just seemed to embrace anything evil that comes down the pike.

Movies as a whole are losers these days, so Netflix is selling cayenne sauce as sunburn lotion.

netfix was recommending all sorts of things for me out of left field
It didn't matter what my viewing habits were-they started pushing things at me

I cancelled them after deer white folks

But would've dropped them over bambi and his beard getting the big bucks deal

They've taken enough from Americans already.

I do too. Get access to British series never heard of before. And some of the Nordic series are also pretty good - although it is funny you don’t see a single Muslim face in any of those Nordic series. Like they are living in some fantasy land of white people only.

You stuck with it? I gave up after episode one. Seemed so far fetched.

I don’t understand the reason subscription services are traded at such large multiples over traditional companies.

My sentiments are exactly like yours but the wife and I can no longer discuss homosexuality. She hates it when I use terms like “donut bumpers” ect. She thinks that sodomy is equivalent to promiscuity in general to which I say bullshit.

I am no expert, but I would be converting as many shares to cash if I ran Netflix as I can. Can’t see this as anything but a new tech bubble.

The ads I’m talking about are the movie promos that appear at the top of the browser.
