I think it was just a tribute to Carlin

I thought it was his strongest special in about 5 years, but it's still not saying a whole lot since everything since the "Live at the Beacon Theater" in 2011 was pretty much garbage.

Some guy with my name has a Netflix account. I know this because he used my Gmail account to sign up. So I get all the account notifications (i.e. credit card expired, payment accepted, etc).

I can't think of a way to tell this guy to change his account email (do people not know their own email addresses?!?!). I can do a password reset, but then he'll lose access to his account.

I guess call Netflix so they can get a hold of him somehow?

I could just log into his account and screw with it, but with my luck Netflix will find out and cancel my account or something.

EDIT: I guess this is a common thing, I did an online chat with Netflix and they have a process for this, it'll put up a banner next time they use Netflix and I won't get any more emails. Not the most entertaining solution though. I could have had free Netflix!

Yah I had some guy sign up for an Apprenticeship with the Australia government or something using my email. I emailed them to let them know it was the wrong person.. Never heard back and continued to get the emails. Never found out if it was an accident or some sort of scam. Then I got an email in March saying the apprenticeship was cancelled.

My wife and I started watching this last night and I thought it was terrible.

Does it get better? Would you recommend it for anyone who doesn't typically watch teenage TV?

I don't watch much for teenage TV, but I really enjoyed it.

I've got a bunch of stuff like auto insurance quotes, vacation booking confirmations, receipts from contractors. I don't think it's a scam because they are all associated with the same location, seems to be a guy who doesn't know his email address and keeps using mine.

Just started watching Prison Break on Netflix, so far I am really liking this show. I kept hearing things about it before but never watched it.

The first season is amazing. After that, well, you can be the judge.

I've never been into teenage TV either, but I loved 13 Reasons Why. It had a very raw and honest feel to it mainly because the acting was good and thought the two leads were excellent. It does shed light on harmless bullying and how suicide affects a lot more people than just the person committing it.

I liked it, but each season was worse than the last. Season 1 was terrific, season 2 was pretty good, season 3 was meh and season 4 was pure garbage

Or Battlestar Gallactica. Or the Walking Dead. Or...

It's pretty rare for any TV show to sustain high quality over even three seasons.

Hannibal.

That it was canceled was a shame and the only redeeming quality is that its allowing Bryan Fuller to bring us American Gods.

Battlestar Galactica was consistently great.

IMO
