Really liked it, Netflix is the perfect place for it. The non-traditional format is great, feels similar in style to many episodes of Louie.

The first episode feels like a neat little Bicycle Thieves homage.
I just finished S2Ep6: 'New York, I Love you'. Wow. This show is truly great.

That's my favorite so far. Still have a few episodes to watch.

Question for those who have finished the season:

Now that the traditional tv season is over, Netflix has been dropping a lot of new content. I believe that shows have to be released before June 1 in order to be eligible for this year's Emmys, so that also probably plays a role.

Both the second season of F is for Family (Bill Burr's semi-autobiographical animated series) and the fifth season of House of Cards are being released today (May 30).

Orange is the New Black's new season is out next Friday. It's always been released after June 1, so any nominations it receives will be for last year's episodes.

Spending several hours in airports and on planes tomorrow and I'm loving this Netflix download thing.

Maria Bamford's latest special is on Netflix as well.

I'm ashamed to admit it took me way too long to realize it was into the actual special because of the way she filmed it.

Another A+ for Hasan Minhaj. One of the best stand up specials I've seen in a long time.

I felt the same way. Half way through and I'm wondering when the intro is going to start. I like Maria's material but this special was nothing special.

F is for Family is absolutely horrible. Only thing of Burr's I remotely dislike.

As for Maria Bamford, I am actually quite enjoying the WTF nature of Lady Dynamite. There are some times where I just absolutely love the humor in this show. I would recommend it to anyone who has enjoyed her stuff in the past.

I think Maria Bamford is hilarious. I agree that she'd probably be better off without the gimmicks she's used for her specials, but I guess that's part of her personality.

I second the Lady Dynamite recommendation. She mentioned in a recent interview that she doesn't write for the show, which is surprising because it fits her so well.

Interesting to see "Adaptation" show up on Netflix. Not sure how long it has been available, but I am liking the selection we are now getting.

Also last season of Sherlock!

The only thing i hate about the movie is running zombies, but that goes for any zombie movie with running zombies. Otherwise it was a great movie

Not crazy about some of these comedy specials that are in. Seems like Sarah Silverman and Hasan Minhaj are mailing it in a bit.

I thought Hasan was great. Silverman was awful. Her special was right down there with Schumer.

Ya I'm going to have to go ahead and disagree there as well... I thought Hasan Minhaj was awesome. It was a ballsy mix of funny and very not funny which I felt worked real well. I guess it came off as very sincere, which is a nice change up from typical standup.

I though Hasan was decent. Much funnier than his media dinner speech. Silverman I will agree is right down there with Schumer. Their material is old and played out.
