r/Netflixwatch

As an avid Survivor / reality TV fan, somehow this show had slipped past me. A friend recommended S3 outlast the jungle so I thought I would watch an episode then binged the whole season and was blown away! This is what I have been missing from Survivor in the new era..

Since watching Survivor from S2 (I don’t think Borneo was shown in Australia, or I missed it) I have been hate watching for the last five years due to the constant production interference and just killing the game for a multitude of reasons (26 days, no real opportunity for people to bond over a long period of time, losing votes, a million and one bullshit advantages, etc, etc) but Outlast has really scratched my itch.

Actually letting the players play… having the trust they will organically make good TV, which they did.. then I went back and watched the two Alaska seasons and they were even better. I actually wished they stayed with this style format rather than making season three more ‘gamey’ I could have watched 10 seasons of that and see how it played out.

I think Joseph from S2 is my new all time fav character, up there with Shane Powers, Tasha Fox and Jeremy on my Mount Rushmore.

Can’t wait for season 4!

Earlier, I could bypass the household check and continue watching without much trouble. But now it keeps asking me to update the netflix household and even after bypassing it once, the message comes back again and I can't watch, is netflix enforcing the household feature more strictly now or is anyone else experiencing the same issue?

Does anyone know if there’s any update on the show that was filmed here last summer.

I thought it was supposed to be released this summer.

I live with my daughter (14-years-old) and my orphan niece (12-years-old). We all watch tv together for an hour a day, but we’re running out of shows to watch. 

Preferably no horror, as my niece is pathetically easily frightened, and I don’t want to deal with that. My daughters preferences are the most important, and my nieces preferences are the least important, but I'd prefer a show that we'd all like.

Show’s We’ve All Watched Together...

The Good Place (my daughters favorite)

A Series of Unfortunate Events (one of my daughters favorites, although my niece hated it and said it made her feel yucky

Greenhouse Academy (one of my daughters favorites, although my niece didn’t seem to care for it)

Lost in Space

Mystic (my nieces favorite that she saw with us)

The Way Home (one of my daughters favorites)

My Life with the Walter Boys 

The Babysitter’s Club

XO, Kitty (one of my daughters favorites)

Never Have I Ever 

Derry Girls (one of my and my daughters favorites, although my niece hated it and said it made her feel yucky) 

The Queen’s Gambit 

Anne with an E (one of my nieces favorites)

Victoria (one of my and my daughters favorites) 

The Other Bennet Sister (one of my nieces favorites)

Lark Rise to Candleford

Our Zoo (one of my nieces favorites)

Keeping Up Appearances (one of my favorites, but my niece hated it and said it made her feet yucky) 

Fawlty Towers (one of my favorites, but my niece hated it and said it made her feet yucky) 

Cold Feet (one of my and my daughters favorites)

95% of men on this show were absolutely useless (excluding Pahroh, Sean and Dave).

The sexist attitudes of most men on this show - Charlie camp' aggressiveness over women and their overall inflated ego's and attitude. Then they are the first team out.

An all woman team who won the game, who were exceptional throughout this show.

Ben trying to be lord of the women on Alpha camp, only for Alpha camp to thrive without him.

Can we now say the patriarch was a lie, or at least a mistake?

Im trying to find a movie name. I watched this movie on netflix in australia around 2022. I can remember once scene of the movie where the main character, is walking along a beach, he sees two girls he has never met and starts talking to them, he ends up staying at their house for a while. I believe this is in one of the first scenes of the movie. The guy is charasmatic, and meets a lot of different girls while he travels around different countries. He is a young fre spirite guy in his 20s.

The second scene I remember is about half way through the movie. He gets a boat and travels across the ocean with one other man accompanying him. They hit a massive storm and the boat is thrown around, the main character is holding onto the boats wooden steering wheel, the main actor is loving the adventure, the other guy is scared of the storm and hiding.

Please help I have been trying to find the title for ages!

I can’t even watch it on my fucking phone anymore. If you have Netflix get rid of it now because they are the worst of the worst people on this planet

The audacity of these men to think so lowly of women’s intelligence, when they literally have the IQ of a baboon was one of the biggest reasons they lost. They complain to each other everyday about how useless Leiya is, directly in front of her, and just expect her to sit around until it’s convenient for them to vote her out of the team? Then they fall for the entire kayak heist that team Alpha pulled because they genuinely believed Maddy would willingly join them. And when they discovered Leiya left with the kayak they still couldn’t piece together what happened?

Can we talk about Leiya? It’s been a while since a reality show contestant frustrated/ confused me so much. Thoughts?

I want to watch something about a heist or a con, but I’m looking for something where things actually go wrong. I find it way more entertaining when the plan falls apart and the characters have to scramble to fix it. Any recommendations for shows on Netflix that have that kind of chaos?

Bullying, intimidation, misogyny, gaslighting, rewarding toxic behaviour.

Conflict makes for compelling television, but humiliation and sustained bullying should not be entertainment. The producers had the ability to draw ethical boundaries. Choosing not to is a creative decision.

Looks like this is what the man approves and stands for.

You know, I was about to comment on a post I saw after finishing up the season but then saw that the last 5-6 post also address the issues the season, I feel glad I am not the only one who feels like the season was very drama filled. I honestly don't like Wes's whole ego and I did have respect for Brett and Braxton until they decided to gang up on Leiya. Additionally, I kind of agree with Leiya when Braxton decided to downplay how she was feeling. I also didn't feel sorry for Team Charlie when both former Team Charlie members(Leiya and Sara) had took their supplies. Like, it's as if you treat people shitty that you get treated like shit right back.

With the whole Team Delta thing, I do very much understand that whoever would have stayed could have had 2 teams against them, I do feel it could have worked out for team Charlie if Brett and Braxton became Team Charlie and Sara and Liela could have voted Wes out and neither Alpha nor Bravo taking him in. And then in that case Charlie and Delta would be able to work together. Though both teams having 2 people I could also see the issue of a small team but at the same time, Alpha and Bravo had a somewhat alliance to work against Charlie.

As for the rest of the cast, I think they were mostly fine except for probably the Ben situation because I did feel that him giving up on the challenge with the elimination challenge and having Halie bust her ass off on trying to get the supplies rubbed me the wrong way because why participate in the challenge if you were just going to soak the sun.

Anyways, that's my thoughts on some of the stuff.

I haven't watch the third film yet, but seeing many people and read many reviews stating how different it was from the first two- which were great- and how bad this entry was. Do you think because of this a fourth film might not be considered at all? Terrifies me cause i love this film series loll.

This clip from the show “positively uncensored” features Marshall talking about how Buddy from Team Charlie killed an endangered croc (and Halle in the comments reaffirming that) and I feel like this should be bigger news.

I don’t necessarily think this is Buddy’s fuck-up (and there’s so much more to be pissed at him for) because he got an incorrect green-light from Netflix, but what are the ramifications of what happened? What is Netflix going to have to do? It’s nuts that this happened and it isn’t bigger news

My rant.

I know everyone pretty well agrees but every time Wes, Braxton, or Brett spoke, I had to skip it. This was the most cringiest thing I’ve ever watched, is them speaking literally anything. The worst one for me was Brett. Calling everyone trash, giving himself a pat on the back and belittling Leiya after her binocular idea to start the fire… Like you didn’t do it and you never tried the entire time, how does that make you better??? Get over yourself you weirdo lil boy and that poor kid he’s having. It wouldn’t be so bad if he wasn’t so condescending, rude, and arrogant. Same with Wes. Braxton just follows them like a little puppy dog.

But I’m shocked at how they treated Leiya and Sarah. I, with others, can’t believe some of that footage even made it to Netflix, especially Wes standing over Sarah. How threatening. They all kept saying how Leiya doesn’t know how to be part of a team and she’s a loner, yet they keep putting her down and making fun of her, taking credit for all her ideas, they act and talk like literal children, and they keep saying they’re gonna vote her off, so yeah she was dead right the whole time. I was sooo happy when she switched.

I did some research and it doesn’t seem like Brett learned anything from the show, mocking the responses, which is insane considering the feedback. I don’t want to call them names, but I am actually disgusted in their behaviour and how they talks. Full body cringe. Calling Leiya an air head, degrading women the whole time…

I genuinely hope the producers from these shows really looked at these boys behaviour and won’t allow them on any other shows going forward because I bet they’re gonna try. You’re literally putting other people at risk with these personalities. Being on a survival team show, means being a team, which these guys were evidently not. They literally banded together and brought out the worst misogynistic parts of each one of them. Again, full cringe.

Wes, Brett, and Braxton, were not made for TV. I got secondhand embarrassment watching this for them.

I am soooooo glad about the ending.

There wasn't really any survival beyond some guy falling into a fire. Like 80% of the "eliminations" were just forced by challenges. The teams couldn't even make a fire, but the producers just gave them free stuff usually at the cost of players. Like that's not what I watched "Outlast" to see. Also it was only like a month. I personally could survive that long in the jungle. You definitely need to stretch that longer. Also the "you can't join other teams now because...well we just said so" halfway into the show is cheap and made it abundantly clear they aren't actually committed to their own established rules.

Also the final race in each season is so garbage. Especially when it punishes you for having more teammates. Like wasn't the whole point that you WANT to have more people? Guess not.

I seriously coped over season 1 thinking "oh well I see what they were going for. There were some mistakes and the rules weren't clear so whatever. Fine. They will probably polish it up later"...but no they showed that they are more interested in manufacturing drama and eliminations and staying in the 39 day timeframe than they are of making a low rules show about actual survival. Meanwhile at least in season 1 as tragic and toxic as it was, really did require actual surviving.

Anyways the drama is fine or whatever. Kinda funny. Kinda sad. The right amount for a reality show. But nah I think I'm good over this series. Netflix just hurry up and give me my Mole Season 3 because this little project is kinda too forced for what you advertised
