I find if I'm not finishing a movie I really don't care to read a synopsis of the plot.

Yes.

It took significant courage just to drink at the Cecil. I cant even fathom spending a night in one of their rooms.

Binge watching Big Mouth now. So wrong, but so right. My nine year old is very confused that I am watching a cartoon that he can't see.

Season 1 of Snowpiercer took some time to find its groove, but Season 2 came out of the gates swinging!

Ya, it's much better. I did notice they've gone with the GoT method, and shortened the train from 10 miles to whatever is convenient for the plot. Some episodes they are front to back on that thing 5 times. Sure, they've got the convenient lower deck shuttle, but a lot of the time it shows them walknig briskly through the 8 cars they always show. "whoops, forgot my pen in the engine, be back in a jiffy!"

I found the Snowpiercer movie kind of boring, I can't imagine stretching it out into a TV show.

I was really looking forward to this Elisa Lam Cecil Hotel doc, but the amount of the show featuring YouTubers trying to make content and grasping at theories and conclusions is kind of ruining it.

There is an unbelievable amount of padding in this series so far (I’m only on episode 2). I would have preferred it to be a more straightforward narrative instead of focusing on all these unnecessary side interviews. What did the couple from Scotland really add to it? I’m pretty sure this story could be told in 2 episodes.

Ya, one of the rare Netflix crime docs to get mixed to poor reviews.

I am on Season 6 and running out of steam. Seasons 2-5 seems to be the sweet spot. Although I am early in Season 6 so that could change.

It's the total idiotic characters that I can't stand. Jean-Ralphio and his sister, Jamm, Joan (talk show host) etc. I immediately go to my phone when they are on screen.

This was an opportunity to make an excellent combination economic hardship/mental health documentary wrapped in this event and they bungled it because they went for cheap sensationalism. A shame.

I watched season 3 of The Sinner. I enjoyed the first two well enough but this one was just dumb.

Just watching CBC News and noticed on the crawler that Netflix is looking to set up a Canadian office. Location to be determined hopefully Calgary gets consideration.

Just because of proximity to production space I would say 65% Vancouver. 30% Toronto, 5% anywhere else.
There are lots of film studios in Vancouver.


edit:

yep

But they’re thinking of Toronto and Vancouver, since the company has so much production happening in both markets.
