Does anyone here watch "Between"? Just sat down and watched the entire first season in one sitting (about five and a half to six hours) completely on a whim, absolutely loved it.

dnl Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Anybody else watch Santa Clarita Diet? I put it on just to have something playing in the background while working and ended up not getting anything done. Binged the entire season in one sitting. So much funnier than I expected. I don't think I've ever liked Drew Barrymore more than this. throughbeingcruel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a quick watch and just when you think the joke is about to become stale, they throw in something fresh. The final episode had me cracking up. dantheriver 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear it gets better but I didn't think the first episode was very good at all. In general, I'm not a fan of when non-comedic actors think that you have to "act silly" when you are in a comedy. The scenarios and lines are already so silly and campy; just play it straight and the comedy will be there. I saw 'Split' the same day I watched the first episode and I thought the way James McAvoy performed the sillier moments was perfect. Commit and play it real and behave as that character would if they were a real person. End weird rant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved the over the top silly reactions that Joel and Sheila had to their ridiculous circumstances. On the other hand, with Split, I agree that McAvoy was top notch, but I didn't think he was particilarly meant to be "silly" ever. People in the audience certainly giggled though.

Once you realize that this is just trying to be network tv sitcom (albeit, not on a network) and hit some of the network tv sitcom clichés, then I guess you can find an appreciation for it. The show isn't trying to be some "peak era tv" comedy. It builds off its ridiculousness. I honestly didn't have any sort of expectations whatsoever for the show so I was pleasantly surprised.

Another Netflix show that I think aimed to hit the network sitcom marks and succeeds (IMO) is One Day at a Time. It's cheesy and snappy and saccharine but, as you said, once you remember that those are parts of the format, it ends up becoming a solid version of those kinds of shows. dnl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throughbeingcruel Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I was impartial to Santa Clarita Diet, the lady loved it thought. I just started Daredevil and I'm enjoying it so far. I've been buying tons of D.C. graphic novels lately so I've been on a superhero kick anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shitty Rambo Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Anyone here watch Shut Eye on Hulu? That show is awesome. It's like Sopranos but with gypsies and palm readers. As for Amazon, Tig Notaro's One Mississippi is really good. I need to start Peaky Blinders and Red Oaks season 2 soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twistedshabazz Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 My wife has been digging that drew barrymore show. I caught one episode while she was watching it and didnt find it overly funny personally. Have one episode left of Glitch which a few people suggested here. Its a cool concept, some of the acting is kind of campy. I don't particularly like the lead actor as he has no range of emotion. Hopefully they do a second series as I am curious to where they will go. Next up I think will be Happy Valley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, its an Australian show, and its the first time i've ever seen anything from Australian networks.. so while the acting may be kind of meh, its still a pretty cool show. The ending of the last episode is a big ol' WTF HAPPY VALLEY IS FUCKING AWESOME. seriously. I think I love UK/British cop/detective shows more than anything else right now. I'd order them as: Broadchurch The Fall Happy Valley Hinterland River Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But River is one of the best shows I've ever seen. Stellen Skarsgard is absolutely unreal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Finished Santa Clarita Diet the other day and my wife and I both loved it. Laughed quite a bit. And oh yeah... SEASON 2 OF "LOVE" COMES OUT TOMORROW! Been waiting for this for what feels like forever. THE_James_Champ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
