I always find great shows on Netflix, only to also find that they were canceled EVERY FUCKING TIME

HOW ARE SHOWS SUPPOSED TO DO WELL IF NO ONE KNOWS ABOUT THEM UNTIL AFTER THEY ARE CANCELED

It was one of the best documentaries on a person I've seen. The struggles with his father, how it formed his pursuits and validation, how he found inner peace in his paintings. And then you step back and see what society is today, and you realize, you NEED more Martin Mulls in America to offset the absolute sociopath-led catastrophe that it is today.

Haunted Hotel just came out with season 2 and it's a great show!! It's only gotten better with season 2 and the characters and story is perfect!! Please check it out

Lee's subplot of dreaming to open a bookstore in SF Chinatown was one of my favorite subplots in the series. The reality of the hardships and racism Chinese people faced in the late 1900s, and how he was not allowed to run a place outside of Chinatown. Chinatown became this autonomous sanctuary where Chinese people can still run businesses and thrive and be fed, but also completely separated from the rest of SF.

As an Asian American (ABC) in the Bay Area, this subplot really spoke to me and my culture. I have read about some of the history of SF Chinatown, but did not know it only flourished because it was a way of survival and being outcasted from other parts of SF, and seeing it come to life on screen was really moving.

I read that originally there was going to be a separate episode dedicated to Lee's story, but due to budget constraints they had to cut a lot of scenes out. I wish we got to see the full story being flushed out! I guess that means I should now read the book.

The Black Swindler is SO good.

Just finished watching the Japanese drama The Black Swindler (Kurosagi) and damn, I really enjoyed it. 😂

I love how every scam has its own little story, and watching Kurosaki outsmart other scammers is honestly so satisfying. The main character is also pretty interesting—not exactly your typical hero, which makes the whole thing more fun to watch.

If you like crime, revenge, scams, and smart characters playing mind games, definitely give this one a shot.

Kinda surprised I didn't watch this sooner. 😭

I am currently looking out for an amazing thriller series, in any language, underrated.

I just watched Chinese drama called Light to the night and my mind was blown.

I picked another Asian thriller, Delusion was not at par as Light to the night but still good.

I also finished Baztan trilogy but need less predictable.

I don't mind slow series with good build-up up

As long as after every episode I say What???!!!

I thought the show overall was an easy watch but had too many irrelevant storylines intertwined.

It felt like the female rage/power message was overdone and kind of saturated what could’ve been a great story just focused on the Lizzy story/timeline

I l feel like I could clip edits of this and make it 4 episodes and it would play really great

The acting and cinematography was great.

I didn’t struggle getting through it, but the Aileen story line really threw me off and felt like a completely different vibe when it showed up.

I even paused it to make sure it was the right show.

But overall I enjoyed it.

I’m two episodes into Murder in a Small Town and I’m done. It’s bad. The murders are boring, the main romantic leads are a snorefest and the town is filled with annoying and uninteresting people. Your mileage may vary … but I doubt it.

Netflix does this annoying thing where the lighting is basically non existent in some series. East of Eden , episode 1 is nearly pitch black in multiple shots.

No its not my TV. Because turning up the brightness just give its that blue contrast. This is such an annoying thing and I hate that constantly film things this way

When I heard Tom was guilty, I honestly felt so happy. But then the last 10 minutes of the documentary absolutely stunned me. Dude went from facing the death penalty TWICE and spending 15 years in prison - I thought the ending was going to be “not guilty.” But man, what a rollercoaster of a story. He was actually found guilty again. Thank the lord.
What a toolbox

Was watching Pearl Harbor with my family, and during the Japanese speaking parts, there were ZERO subtitles for anything. The subtitles during the Japanese speaking parts provide integral plot details which Netflix didn’t even bother to provide us with. I literally stopped watching it because it’s impossible to determine the plot of the movie without the original subtitles which the producers intended for us to read. It’s baffling to me that no one else has thought to complain about this and that i’m the first one to make a complaint about this blatant mishandling of the film. Seriously do better Netflix.

I know the movie isnt highly regarded by any means, but I think it put things into perspective for me nicely.

I'm a male in a management position in one of the most wealthiest companies in the globe (military). We only have one female coworker so she's kinda the token character. Over the past 10 years of my military career, I have very rarely worked with females. It was kinda good to see a different perspective on things I was brushing off because its the status quo/"not that deep".

I’m trying to block this brain-rot garbage through the parental controls on my kids’ profiles, but it doesn’t even appear in the selection box. I tried contacting customer support via online chat and phone, and they both told me they can’t block it either, which is really strange.

I’ve also seen other people online having the same trouble blocking it. Is there some sort of conspiracy at Netflix to stop us from blocking this crap?

I've watched a few versions. Just finished episode 1 of the Netherlands version and DAAAANG. The last 5 minutes were heartbreaking.

Is anyone else watching LIB Netherlands? Which version should I watch next?

I honestly don't know how many shows I've watched that were recommended by Netflix that were cancelled after a season or two. They need a graveyard category to show aallll the shows they've scrapped. They also just need to be scrapped themselves, horrible business model.

Anyone know of a site that has a list of all the shows they've scrapped prematurely?
