Bing watched the entire first season of Altered Carbon today. Just finished it.

Absolutely amazing.

Also on my Netflix list. And since you seem to be ahead of me on my Netflix/Hulu streaming lists, have you watched Wild Wild Country? It's a documentary about the true story of an attempted theocracy coming into being in Oregon, and because the religion in question is a strange form of Hinduism, the people actually fight back.

For the record, I prefer to alternate between Hulu and Netflix for series binges, although due to my watching Arrested Development: Fateful Consequences and Dark in succession, I'll probably be watching two Hulu series (Invader Zim and My Mad Fat Diary) before watching Altered Carbon. And in case you wonder how I gauge my order? Usually in ascending order of total runtime for available episodes, unless a series I love has just dropped new episodes.

Wild Wild Country is something I know I won't watch. That sort of programming does not interest me.

Think I might give television a break for a little bit, get back to gaming on my PS4.

Okay, when I get to it, the next thing I will watch is The Cloverfield Paradox.

Which is a movie, not a television show. lol

Not certain what I will watch next. Nothing on Netflix is capturing my interest, and the newest seasons for some of my favorite shows are not yet available even though the seasons have ended airing on television.

Well, here seems to be the reason:

Quote:Often the company that produces the series won't license seasons to Netflix until they're "back catalogue". That's why Netflix is a season behind on things like The Walking Dead and Mad Men. AMC wants people to have to come to their service to get the current season. Netflix can only license things the producers are willing to sell them.

This is a major motivation for Netflix starting to make its own exclusive series.

Well, it looks like Arrested Development Season 5 will be airing on Netflix later this month.





Hopefully, it'll keep the classic feel of the Fateful Consequences remix that was released earlier this month. Ideally, this will be well worth the five year wait. (Well, technically three year wait on my end, since that's when I got into the series)

Oh, I love me some Michael C. Hall, aka Dexter.

I'm going to watch Safe next.

One of the aspects I like better about British crime dramas is that they seem to be capable of tapping into the viewers emotions much better than American shows.

Safe was freaking amazing. I give it a 10/10. You'll never guess who killed Chris, I guarantee. Even I was freaking shocked.

I think I'll watch the second season of Mindhunter next.
