Netflix keeps recommending it, but it also recommended The i-Land, so I haven't been too keen to dive inE.H. Ruddock wrote:Anyone check out that new show, V Wars?

I enjoy The End of the Fucking World, despite it being a depressing comedy about unlikable people.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Just finished season 2 of The Rain. I like some of these European shows that are on Netflix.

Re: So I finally got Netflix...
i watched the two popes last night. it was pretty gripping, although there are some slow spots smack in the middle. jonathan pryce was really, really good. overall, it was definitely worth the 2-hour investment.
