Your Current Netflix Obsession is... — Page 3

Liza, I adored the first two seasons of The Killing. I'm sure you've heard about the reaction that many had to the S1 finale. I won't say more than that about that episode, but I was shocked at how outraged so many of the shows viewers appeared to be. I think it received way too much unfair criticism for the unexpected nature of that episode. But if you end up being in the majority and end up feeling duped by the s1 finale, I'd encourage you to stick with it as the s2 finale is a total knock out. One of the best hours of TV I've ever seen.

Please do! You might end up caught up on the first three seasons by the time the fourth and final season debuts on Netflix later this year.

The Guild is a great webseries that has been added to Netflix Instant. Each season is only about an hour to an hour and a half. So you could get through the whole series in a day.

Netflix Instant is the streaming part.

The Kathleen Hanna documentary, The Punk Singer, is now on Instant. Very good. It's 20 Feet From Stardom but focuses on the key figure in Riot Grrrl.

Also, you could do an Altman double-feature with 3 Women and The Long Goodbye. Just sayin'.

I just finished binge watching UGLY BETTY a few days ago. I had seen the show up till the 5th episode of season 2, but decided to get back into it during my winter break- only to find out that it was leaving Jan. 4, So i spent most of my break watching it and was able to finish the series. (I have to say that the whole Justin coming out story line was stupid and way overdue.)

I just now finished watching POLITICAL ANIMALS and really enjoyed the Mini-Series. Having just recently got Netflix, i am still discovering what all it has to offer. I plan on watching DAMAGES and QUEER AS FOLK next. I got my mother hooked on AMERICAN HORROR STORY so she has been watching that every free moment she has. She is ready to see the 4th season, but i have warned her that it is a lot more boring then the first three.

Also Parks and Recreation

Death Note is Anime, so it's pretty ridiculous at times (I'll take a potato chip... AND EAT IT!!), but it's actually pretty good. It's the only non-Studio Ghibli anime I actually enjoy.

Currently PERSON OF INTEREST, last month FRINGE.

I too just finished The Black Mirror series. Some wonderfully cynical writing! I agree with the first one being riveting. I laughed at first at the premise but as the story went on it became harrowing!

The Christmas episode isn't up on Netflix yet. That's the only one I haven't seen.
Also..I read they are making "The Entire History of You" episode into a full length feature.

I watched 2 seasons of INK MASTER these past two days. I love that show so much.

14 DIARIES OF THE GREAT WAR...

BoJack Horseman is brilliant. Takes a turn in the second-half that mixes The Comeback and Enlightened in pitch black darkness and emotional understanding of its character. Finding out the creator is a huge fan of those shows was not at all shocking. Great voice work by Will Arnett, Aaron Paul, Amy Sedaris, Alison Brie, and Paul F. Tompkins.

Missed the original responses to Polanski's adaptation of Venus in Fur, but to me it reached career peaks for him this 21st century, and I very much liked The Pianist and The Ghost Writer. In a fair world, Emmanuelle Seigner would be having Oscar buzz.

Double-feature recommendation: Jem Cohen's Museum Hours and Aleksandr Sokurov's one of a kind single take spectacle at The Hermitage, The Russian Ark.
