Your Current Netflix Obsession is... — Page 4

^ I'll have to stick it out with "Bojack." I'm on episode... I don't know... 5? And it's fine. Sometimes I laugh. It's enjoyable enough that I'll put it on while I'm cooking or something, but I never make a point of sitting down and watching it.

I tried MFMM, but I couldn't stick with it. The actors really are perfection, but the stories and writing leave a lot to be desired. It's not bad; I'd just felt I'd seen it all before, like Poirot/Marple-lite.

I loved Bojack Horseman, but I wonder how much of its appeal depends on having watched the Hollywood hangers-on shows it riffs on, particularly "Californication."

I loved Californication even though it was uneven; it was a great combination of ludicrously beautiful women and some of the funniest character actors in Hollywood. Plus, I enjoyed the bildungsroman aspect, figuring out who was an exaggerated caricature of who: was Atticus Fetch Noel Gallagher? was Hank Moody Bret Easton Ellis but straight? was Eddie Nero Brad Pitt?

But Bojack has the feel of these shows, yet more honest examination of the bleakness of these character's lives. Plus it's mixed with some of the extreme absurdist satire that post-MacFarlane animated comedies are obligated to indulge in at least a little... but it doesn't clash somehow. The world of the show is just strange enough that you can get away with things like the extended Andrew Garfield or "kids in a trenchcoat" gags.

Auction Hunters!

I just stumbled upon the show one day on Spike and just really enjoyed it... glad it's on Netflix... I love the chemistry between Allen and Ton and I like how the guys love finding stuff and plus learning about history... so much better to me than Storage Wars (where I think all those guys are annoying)

additionally... I REALLY wish Parking Wars could be on Netflix... I am obsessed with that show!

Hmm. That's quite the cast for BLOODLINE. I'll definitely check it out. Given that it's by the guys behind DAMAGES, I hope that it doesn't start strong and quick devolve into utter nonsense.

Watched the entire Torchwood series over the 3-day weekend. The first two seasons are fantastic, the third (Children of Earth) was excessively grim (and a certain character's death made me extremely sad), and the 4th (Miracle Day) was just not very good. John Barrowman, Eve Myles, and Gareth David-Lloyd were all really good. Definitely worth watching the first two seasons. Definitely good to watch Doctor Who (the first 2 seasons) before watching it, it's not for everyone, and it's a little tawdry, but I loved it just the same.

Bump it like a strumpet

I always come back to Buffy. I just love it to much.

Never was huge on anime, but Sword Art Online (season 1 ONLY) was a great watch.

---

I've been re-watching Futurama. What a fantastic comedy series.

---

Season 2 of The Fall is even better than the first.

I know you don't think much of my opinion, but for what it's worth I absolutely loved The Paradise. It's so soapy and ridiculous and I love it. The production is also gorgeous.

I'm rewatching every X-FILES episode, so I can be ready for the Fall.

Well, that's it then. I'm not watching it!
