Anyone else watching this? It's a Netflix original. I love the 80s movie feeling. It's weird though. I don't know what to think about the actual plot. It's also so weird to see Winona Ryder playing a mom.

Does anyone else LOVE Schitt’s Creek? The name of the show prevented me learning anything about it or watching it, but once I gave it a chance, I was absolutely hooked. I’ve never been much of a fan of Eugene Levy and Catherine O’Hara, but their roles here totally showcase their immense talent. All of the characters are hilarious and Seasons 3 and 4 has the best romance storyline that I’ve ever watched. If you like shows like Arrested Development, The Office, Parks & Rec, etc., please give Schitt’s a shot. It brings me so much joy!

This TV show (limited, so no second season, TG) was SO good. It's the story of a girl, orphaned, who learns chess, but also battles addiction. The chess parts could be any sport or game, really, it's not necessary to understand the game at all to watch the show. And I'm so glad it's limited, so there won't be more to ruin it. Just a nice, long, self-contained story. Very bingable.

Has anyone seen this film on Netflix? It's written and directed by Aaron Sorkin (and I guess Steven Spielberg?), so if he's not your thing then you likely won't like it, but it's a fictional (with some fairly obvious liberties) retelling of the time when anti-war protesters were arrested and tried in Chicago during the sixties. Sacha Baron Cohen (I wish he would do more drama, he's good at it) plays Abbie Hoffman, a well known 60s Activist. And it took me forever to realize that the Federal Prosecutor was Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

I know this originally aired in 2018 but when I searched "Waco" I couldn't find another thread. Is anyone else watching this/has watched it? I watched the first half in a short period of time but I'm afraid of what comes next. I only had a surface level idea of what all happened and this has been eye opening. Dammit for ruining my Taylor Kitsch crush though. I'll need a lot of Friday Night Lights/Tim Riggins to make up for him as David Koresh.

Has anyone else watched comedian Mae Martin's new show on Netflix, Feel Good? It's a semi-autobiographical show about sexuality, addiction, substance abuse, and mental health.

Has anyone seen Netflix's Ted Bundy documentary. I've always been a bit of a true crime nerd, so I thought I already knew about Bundy. But the doc made me see for the first time how charming he was, and how "normal" he sounded. I've heard it before, but this was the first time actually seeing it. It's unnerving. Like I thought I'd be above that (which is I know is kind of arrogant), but now I realize that maybe I wouldn't have been. It made me feel even more empathy and sympathy for his victims. Anyone else have a similar reaction? Anyway, now I've completely gone down the rabbit hole, and got Ann Rule's book The Stranger Beside Me. It's one of the craziest stories I've ever read. So Ann Rule is this aspiring crime writer going through a divorce, volunteering at a suicide hotline on the same shift as young Ted Bundy. They become work friends, and catch up with each other every once in a blue moon after she quits. When the murders were happening, she gets a contract to write a book about them. She gets signed to write about a series of murders, and then it turns out her old friend was the one commiting them. So she's researching the crime, while also writing letters and having phones calls with Ted in prison, hoping he's innocent but not compeletly sure. That's fucking nuts. The whole story is just so weird and compelling.

Has anyone else seen this? I'd love your impressions. It wasn't as scary as I thought (hoped) it would be. I liked the fleshing out of the characters. I was frustrated by the dad's keeping secrets (but I guess that was the thing that kept the plot going). And the ending. I'll put my FJ-related thought under spoiler. I'm hoping to see the old black and white version in a theater this weekend. I also want to read the book again.

Hey all, I didn't see a thread about this one so I took the liberty. Mods if I just missed an existing thread, I apologise. Anyone else catch this documentary yet? What did you all think of it? Truthfully I only vaguely remember the crime when it happened and didn't really know specifics about the crime. I knew supposedly Amanda was "weird" and the Italian police were criticized as being incompetent. When I looked up details after release I thought some of the things they did in the investigation were really odd and it seemed like they were just trying to make things fit because they wanted Amanda and Raffelle to be guilty. The documentary was interesting, really well made, IMO. Watching Amanda Knox and hearing her talk, seeing her expressions, I actually feel more sympathetic towards her. She's "off" but not murderer "off" IMO. She strikes me as someone like me, uncomfortable socially, awkward, easily stressed out, naive and at times easily "led" with questions. But that's just my opinion and there's always a chance I'm projecting. If you haven't checked this out yet, definitely give it a look. Just be warned, there is footage of the crime scene and considerable discussion of it, so if violence and gore upset you, you might want to skip or proceed with caution.

I just started watching this documentary series on Netflix. It's about the unsolved murder of a nun, and it reveals a cover up and sexual abuse within the Catholic church. Anyone else watching?
