Just finished season 2 of Dirk Gently. I enjoyed season 1 a lot better simply because it was darker and more mysterious.

I'm really enjoying Manhunt Unabomber, but holy crap is Stan a terrible "character". I'm quite intrigued to read a book or two on the actual Unabomber investigation to see if he's as terrible an FBI agent as this show is portraying him to be.
And I also really don't like Sam Worthington as an actor in this show. Not that he is mis-cast or something, but I don't like his acting at all.
Good show all around however.

You have to wonder if the person watches the show and is just seething at his portrayal, because they really raked him over the coals on that one.

I also preferred season 1. Still, I liked that season two was different and not a total rehash. It's a shame the show got cancelled because I thought it was very fresh and had a lot of possibility.

Wynonna Earp popped up not too long ago so I added it to my list. I'm 4 episodes in now, and I'm not entirely sure what I think of it. Let's just say it's growing on me with each episode.
The camp factor is 8 out of 10, and there are some truly awful acting performances (Dominique Provost-Chalkley/Waverly Earp), but so far the monster-of-the-week and overarching storyline have been entertaining enough. It's refreshing that the show is a little tongue in cheek considering how it comes off.
As a bonus it is set in the Canadian Rockies and shot around Calgary/Springbank. Didsbury is the stand-in for the main setting of the fictional town Purgatory. Tons of recognizable scenery.

I just watched a little bit of making a murderer, already saw it of course, but just wanted to watch a couple episodes of it. I still can't believe that this miscarriage of Justice has been allowed to stand. I know, super hot take right?
By the way, is there ever a better representation on screen ever of the old adage "never talk to the police"? Never talk to the police

Norm MacDonald did an AMA on Reddit and said that he's in talks with Netflix to do a talk show. I'm praying this happens.
It's a great AMA, as you would expect. There's at least one joke you need to see that I can't repeat here.

Most of our Netflix content has the audio and the video out of sync. Sometimes it's horrible, sometimes not too bad. Anyone else?

Nope. Are you using a device through a receiver (like Apple TV) or is it straight through your TV?

I'm not a heavy viewer, but I haven't noticed any issues like that. Like Erick asks - what sort of device(s) are you using it on, and do you have any special audio steps in between?

I think I have had it happen once a long time ago, but it was not a Hollywood release or anything special so I figured it was just the specific content.
Do you have any specific examples of this happening? Are you watching the content with dubbed audio or anything? Does the amount of lag between the audio and video change over the course of watching it?

No dubbed audio and it happens to varying degrees on most content. Mine runs through Apple TV and the wife's runs through a device, too, but I don't know which and I can't ask her now. The amount of lag seems constant. Is this because it's running through a device and we have to tolerate it?

You don't have to tolerate it. I run Netflix through AppleTV, PS4, Samsung Smart TV, iOS apps and browsers and don't experience any lag.
If you're connecting the devices to the internet via wifi, you might want to check it out for lag.

How is your audio set up? I was having a similar problem with my cable box when I ran it through my receiver first and then to the TV; when I ran it directly to the TV and had the TV audio go to the receiver the problem went away.

I've run it through several Apple TV's as well as smart TV's and I've never had issues with lag with regular or 4K content. Is the audio going through HDMI from the Apple TV directly into your TV or switching receiver?
