I'm surprised Fincher didn't agree to let someone else showrun Mindhunter. It would have helped the crew and actors and pleased the fans. New directors would have been able to jump in and use the previous seasons as templates to keep it feeling the same. Just a shame.

I think Mindhunter is the best thing Netflix has ever done. I’ve watched the series twice; I almost never rematch series.

The Netflix Christian Bale movie was meh. Nonsensical dialogue, stretches in problem solving ability with little information, and a twist at the end which was obvious there would be one. Very meh. Almost seemed like a made for tv film in how it plays out. I do like how it was shot in the dark mostly, but again, story wise, meh.

I really do love Jenna Ortega's work and am a sucker for anyone that stars in A24 films and felt she did a solid job in X.

But I don't know if i'm going to continue this show 2 episodes in.. I definitely do understand why it's breaking records and an absolute hit with other age groups however.
My wife and I are way older than 31 and we're loving the show. (nobody spoil it as we've only finished episode 6. We're finishing it off on the weekend)

Maybe we'd love it more if we were teens, but it's a solid show that's great for all ages. We're very happy that it's picked up for a second season.

Watched Treason, a 5 episode limited series with Charlie Cox as the lead.

It had some cool scenery around London but all in all, it was very bland. He was not very convincing as deputy chief of MI6 either. On the plus side, episodes were rather short and only 5 of them, but I wouldn't recommend.

Kaleidoscope is an interesting premise. A heist story but everyone sees the episodes in random order except for the last one.

I’m curious to know how many people would put in any effort to ask someone they know watching it to go turn on their TV and compare episode ordering?

I’ll bite though. Mine are Black, Green, Yellow, Blue, Violet, Orange, Red, Pink, White.

I haven't watched it yet, but when I look at it on the preview screen, it shows: Black, Yellow, Green, Blue, Orange, Violet, Red, Pink, White.

We'd just finished watching some Netflix when I read this. So I flipped over. The premise is interesting, and this is the preview screen episode order: black, yellow, green, violet, blue, orange, red, pink, white

Junji Ito's Uzumaki will be airing on Adult Swim later this year, but Netflix is also dropping an Anthology series in 3 days. Looks pretty harrowing!

Are there any Anime's where women are not shown to be screaming bumbling morons?

Its so annoying. I like the stories and animations but I end up just turning them off after awhile because of the annoying voices/actions.

Kill La Kill, though you probably won't like Mako.

My recommendation would be not to watch violet first as I did. I didn’t realize at the time but there are some big questions answered in it that would have been more satisfying if I had some other episodes in prior.


It’s a fun series, lots of holes but a cool premise that was enjoyable overall.

The whole point is to not choose the episodes, just watch them in the order they appear for you.

Meh, I'm using others' experiences to get the best order.

The Order I Wish I’d Watched In

I'll even spoiler it. Sorry, not falling for a marketing gimmick.

The Phantom of the Open was a really subtly funny movie. The ending was kinda made for TV but there was something about it that was really endearing. Old person coming of age movie. 4/5 stars from me. Hidden gem.

I have Netflix with commercials now.
not as bad as one would fear.

Usually a commercial to start, and two commercials about halfway through.
Worth it to save $12 a month.
