    Watching Dark on Netflix and I just love every second of it. I would say it is similar to Lost in that there is a lot of mystery and suspense about what is happening, but unlike Lost, they actually slowly explain everything that is happening. I can't say enough good things about this show. I've only got 6 episodes left. I want to just take leave and watch it all.

    Station 11 is very good. It's a bit odd, meta. If you like Shakespeare and like hbo drama shows give it a try. Let me know what you think

    Finally got over the silliness of the the dubbing and watched this. I thought it was great and agreed with JB that the ending was weak.

    The last 45 minutes were unnecessary. I’m fine with the old man being behind it, it actually made sense, but he didn’t really have a reason behind it. He’s also a mass murderer in essence. They should’ve painted him as such at the end, not in the sympathetic way they did.

    Man I wanted to like this so bad but I found myself on my phone constantly during it and I had no idea what was going on half the time.

    I'm not sure if this has been mentioned but should I waste my time on 'The Witcher' or is it total garbage?

    Dubbing sucks--no subtitle opportunity? Of just hate subtitles?

    It's fun when the guy is fighting monsters. Otherwise it's just low rent game of thrones.

    I did the subtitles thing with Zero Zero Zero and I just found myself uninterested in wanting to read the whole time.

    I got past the goofiness of the dubbing pretty quickly and liked the show a lot.

    It's on my list. I read a few if the books and I liked the movies, even though Tom Cruise is physically nothing like the Reacher in the books. This looks like that least got a guy that looks the part.

    The guy playing Reacher could generate his own gravity field. He's that big.. Would take 3 Tom Cruises to make one of him. Reminds me a bit of the part Affleck played in "The Accountant".

    Thanks. I know I'm in the minority but I was not a 'Game of Thrones' fan. I watched maybe 10 episode tops split over all the seasons. Other than some good turns by Peter Dinklage it just never really snagged my interest. I can't really say why. Will probably skip 'The Witcher' unless I truly have nothing else to watch.

    I heard 'Fleabag' was pretty good. I haven't checked it out yet.

    He's definitely a big guy. Show has been good so far.

    Peakey Blinders anyone? Not sure what to make of it because I can get about half of the dialogue without subtitles, but I like gangster flicks so I’m giving it a thumbs up.

    Finished "Reacher". Excellent series. I hope they get a second season.

    I like it so far. We’re about three episodes in. Entertaining and I like the fact that it’s a bit goofy in the sense that he’s so brilliant it’s unrealistic.
