It is better but I don't think the difference is as vast as you are implying.

Season 3

Its a modern day Prison Break. Lots of suspense and cheap cliffhangers. Too many episodes' plot relies on characters making dumb decisions. I really needed to turn my brain off to enjoy it. It is good, but for me Stranger Things is better. Will get to watching season 3 later.

I read a similar opinion somewhere on the world wide web earlier..... I think somebody mentioned a very common device in film-making nowadays where the plot 'relies' on one character keeping crucial information to themselves, then going to solve the issue on their own where it is painfully obvious they should not. I think this is very true in that this device is widely overused.

It was initially intended as a limited series and premiered on 2 May 2017 on Spanish network Antena 3. Antena 3 distributed the series in Spain before Netflix acquired it in late 2017; Netflix edited the series and re-released it worldwide.

I wonder how you find the Spanish in it BC (if you watch it) considering your familiarity with Latin American Spanish ? One of my Latina friend always finds some of the words funny since it's in European Spanish.

No such thing as latin american spanish (regardless of what office has to say on the subject). Things may be dubbed to a generic 'latino' but people speak distinctly in each country, or even within. I sometimes struggle understanding Chileans, Mexicans or Panamanians, not so much with the Spanish version (although even within Spain there is a lot of diversity too).

Useful chart for English speakers (from the perspective of someone that learned English in the US):

I canceled my Netflix subscription. It will end right on time for me to finish binging Season 2 of Mindhunters. They will most likely cancel this also after season 3.

After cancelling Santa Clarita Diet and now this, I'm done with Netflix. Can't wait for end of 2020 when The Office officially leaves this dying wasteland and they lose all of their remaining subscribers.

by BarrileteCosmico Wed Aug 14, 2019 12:20 am

Still think they have plenty of good shows but yeah this was really disappointing, I liked The OA and my wife absolutely loved it and is devastated. Might include netflix in the list of subscriptions I rotate though.

by Lucifer Wed Aug 14, 2019 6:58 pm

Sacred Games S2 anyone

I hyped it like years ago.

Not sure whether to watch Dark first, The naked director first or that.

Mindhunter season 2 was great. Wish it were longer though ffs. The casting in the show is always phenomenal.

by Freeza Sun Aug 18, 2019 11:20 pm

Three episodes in. Love this fucking show.

Really the best looking show on TV right now.

by McLewis Sun Aug 18, 2019 11:32 pm

Yup, this show is fantastic.

So many excellent scenes. The interviews are amazing.

by Myesyats Mon Aug 19, 2019 9:18 am

I only watched S01E01 and for some reason it didnt captivate me enough to watch the second episode.

I have 1 ep of Casa de papel left, then 13 Reasons Why comes out and then maybe it'll be time for Mindhunter

Currently watching. Getting to halfway point. Not as dope as first season so far for me.

Also watched Orange is the New Black final season. Was reasonably good. Satisfying.

by Glory Thu Aug 22, 2019 8:28 am

So Sacred games 2 is good. Had its flaws. But overall very satisfying final few episodes. And the acting again in this is just excellent throughout. Highly recommending.

by BarrileteCosmico Mon Aug 26, 2019 3:49 am

Just watched The Dragon Prince S1 & S2. Enjoyed it a lot. S3 is supposed to be sometime this year so looking forward to that.

by McLewis Mon Aug 26, 2019 12:59 pm

If there was ever a spiritual successor to Avatar: The Last Airbender and Legend of Korra, that show is it. Loved it.
