I'm here for whatever Phoebe Waller-Bridge does.
Very interesting, thanks!
Also,
b-but the first episode prompted a record number of signups to Showtime's OTT service!!
The advertising is accurately portraying their superhero shows. The acting is crap and the story lines are all cliched and overwrought. The effects are surprisingly decent though.
The over the top dialog is par for the course with Heathers though - the film's dialog is cringe city.
As I said in the other thread, I didn't hate it. It actually reminded me quite a bit of Scream Queens.
True art doesn't need commercial success, it still deserves to be lauded.
Damn that hurt to type even as a joke, fuck Twin Peaks: The Return.
By the way almost everything you'll be watching in March will be on Netflix.
(seriously, I think Netflix has as much original content coming in March as all the linear networks combined)

Today's your lucky day.
Oh I know.
And Janelle Monáe dropped two songs today, one of which is like the anthem for fluid sexuality. Today has been gooooooooooood.

Oh god I thought this was hyperbole.
By my count that is 53 original shows, stand up specials, and films. I don't even like know what 1/10th of these even are. And I didn't even count the Letterman and Joel McHale shows since they've already started airing!
... I'm never getting a boyfriend.
While that seems like a lot, in terms of original live action scripted series isn't it just:
Marvel's Jessica Jones: Season 2 -- NETFLIX ORIGINAL - 3/8/18
Love: Season 3 -- NETFLIX ORIGINAL - 3/9/18
Santa Clarita Diet: Season 2 -- NETFLIX ORIGINAL - 3/23/18
A Series of Unfortunate Events: Season 2 -- NETFLIX ORIGINAL - 3/30/18
Marvel's Jessica Jones: Season 2 -- NETFLIX ORIGINAL - 3/8/18
Love: Season 3 -- NETFLIX ORIGINAL - 3/9/18

A Series of Unfortunate Events: Season 2 -- NETFLIX ORIGINAL - 3/30/18
Wait is that saying the agent that got Will and Grace on gets paid 2 million an episode for doing nothing? lol
Also I remember learning about this due to the fact that Voyager's Tom Paris was originally supposed to be a character from TNG, but they didn't want to pay that writer for every episode of Voyager.
(Which makes me wonder what happened with Miles and Keiko O'Brien and DS9...)

There is a bunch of originals in form of live action shows that they have first run rights to. Like Collateral which is probably the best thing they'll release in March.
And I don't think that Collateral is any less a Netflix Original then the third season of Bland, with a casual reminder that the very first show (Lilyhammer) that carried the "Netflix Original" branding was commissioned and produced by NRK alone (Netflix joined as a producer for season 2).
Also watch Collateral.
That's a fair point. I'm actually really looking forward to Collateral!
That's an awful lot of content... and yet the only thing I have any real personal interest in is Collateral.
No, I think that's the licensing fee NBC is paying for the show.
Right, he's getting some piece of that or the broader set of global licensing fees. Something like that, depending on the particulars of the deal.
What's frustrating is that there's actually very little information on a lot of those shows. Like, what the fuck is 'Borderliner'??
That list is terrifying, why would you scare everyone like that?!
Netflix will own us all by 2019.
That's a damn lot of shows, but I'm only planning to watch three streaming things in March: Jessica Jones, Love and Sneaky Pete. Well, Love is more of a hate-watch.
In for Love and Sneaky Pete
Will be nice to see what Graham Yost can do for Sneaky Pete without being shackled to the weird production stuff of the first season

I'm honestly not surprised. They said they were spending over $8B on original content this year and that they will have over half of Netflix's entire library to be original content by early 2019. This is the way to do it.
They promised at least 2 new original shows per week (in addition to renewals) and a new original movie "every 5 days" in 2018. Along with 30 new anime series (in addition to renewals) in 2018.
We can expect at least 100 more new series, 60-ish movies, 20 standup specials and like 50 renewals to come out by end of December at the pace they want to go (having over half of all content on Netflix be original). Wouldn't be surprised if we got a price hike by another dollar months from now.

Netflix's 'Ugly Delcious' (out today!) is getting great reviews (food documentary from the Momofuku guy). Cosmic Bus
Dave was on Kimmel the other night talking about it! Definitely going to check out a couple episodes this weekend. His season of Mind of a Chef was awesome.
General consensus seems to be that it's good, but way too long.
so basically like most Netflix shows ;_;
13 eps I assume? Damn it Netflix, change to 10 or 8!
10. Seems like a mix of people saying it's both dense and kinda draggy.
Damn this is too funny, right after I read this post I went on Netflix and the Seven Seconds show was right there dead center of the front page. Did this show just come out today?
Hears people repeatedly say "Seven Seconds" is too slow and takes too much time. Finds out it is from Veena Sud. Remembers "The Killing". Yep, sounds about right...
(The mystery in the original series, Forbrydelsen, was 20 episodes too.)

Awww yisss, The Expanse returns on SyFy April 11th for season 3. I'm expecting it sadly to be the last season given that the ratings have never taken off, but maybe the Netflix money can keep the lights on

im surprised The Expanse isnt one of the weekly shows on Netflix in EU. Well at least season 2 wasnt.
Yeah Tom Paris character was suppose to be the same dude from the episode where Wesley Crusher fucks up at the Academy, they pretty much changed only the name and used the same dude. Fun fact Tom Paris was going to get a bionic borg arm, but they thought showing a character losing a limb was too extreme
I'm liking Seven Seconds so far (five eps in). It's naturally gonna get compared to The Killing, but unlike that you know who did what in the first ten minutes of the show. The rest is basically watching the characters work/react to the case. It's slow and dense, but a different enough kind of slow and dense to me similar to some British crime dramas.
Saw an ad for Timeless today. I'd forgotten that even existed. Even though I watched the first three or four episodes.
Wait I thought Timeless was cancelled, I loved Timeless.
I think I had heard the same. Apparently it was uncancelled and will now debut its second season next month.
