Full Swing has been awesome so far. Although I hate how it has made me like Ian Poulter now

Posters in this thread got me to start physical:100. I’m more than halfway through. It’s pretty engaging actually.

Even with the voiceovers, I still feel like they have captured the players well.

And as was pointed out in thread, the contestants are respectful and polite to a fault.

Once this gets to North America, it will be all smack talk and weapons being pulled out.

The Madoff documentary is pretty good. I would like to see a dramatized version a la Uber, Theranos, WeWork.

IIRC there was a movie with Robert DeNiro but I'd like to see multiple episodes.

So. I just went in to designate my home as my location. Looked at the $7.99 deal to allow a second member. Is it saying it will only allow 1 'member' to sign in and watch for this charge?

Anyone know if this means only one device can be watching Netflix on this member's account at a time?

I missed the earlier discussions, but I decided to watch it based on your post. The wife and I love it and are hooked.

The respect is part of what makes it a good watch. You're right that the Americans will ruin the show if they do a version.

We kind of knew we weren't getting a Mindhunter Season 3. but he's confirmed it.

In a recent interview with French magazine Le Journal du Dimanche, Fincher again spoke on the decision to cancel Mindhunter, confirming that a third season will never happen, as well as insinuating that Netflix made the final decision to end the series.

That’s too bad. Mindhunter, in my opinion, is the best thing Netflix has ever done.

If you enjoyed Mindhunter (and honestly, who didnt?) I'd also highly suggest Black Bird, its a show with a sort of similar feel albeit somewhat different.

It was awesome though!

My brother didn’t. He’s not smart enough to appreciate good television without fights, explosions and nudity.

Black Bird looks interesting; thank you for the recommendation.

That’s on Apple TV, which I don’t have, but thanks for the recommendation.

No way I should have enjoyed that as much as I did. Not exactly high art but it definitely hooks you in.

I t was a great show. I can't believe at time the challenges almost had me on the edge of my seat.

It was so well done. Kept the focus on the challenges and the athletes without all the drama we see put into most North American reality shows.
It was also nice not to have to deal with huge backstories about how they overcame personal tragedy to get there.

It was awesome how much respect Choo Sung-Hoon had amongst the group.
(older MMA guy, or "Sexyama" , if you will)

he was awesome, and one of the favs of the wife and I.

So maybe I'm misunderstanding how this works but the 21st was the deadline for account sharing correct? I've been using my parents' account and my dad added me to the account per the new rules but so far I haven't had to setup my separate account and everything seems the same. Makes me wonder what would have happened if he didn't do the account add; would we have avoided the extra 8 bucks? For reference I am the only one that uses it outside of their home.

You should have received an invite to set up your profile via email if he did it right.

If you haven’t set it up, then it’s possible Netflix isn’t enforcing it universally or right away. The deadline was supposed to be yesterday.

Oh yeah I've got the email to set it up but been lazy and so far I haven't been locked out. As you suggested maybe they aren't enforcing it hard yet but found it odd either way.

Cancelled my subscription today. For the amount I watch, I was just throwing away $22 a month if family can't use it.

It made us do the opposite of what they intended, we weren't sharing accounts before, but now we are between three houses. Now instead of them making $63 a month on three accounts they're making $37. Good move Netflix.

It reminded me of how little I use it too, once I'm done re-watching Narco's I'll probably just cancel
