Just finished season three of ozark. It’s a wild one for sure
Netflix Finds

Agreed. Just finished that series. It was entertaining but sad overall. They were some seriously messed up people.
That's on my list. They sure aren't afraid to off regular characters on that show.
Let’s buy another casino. We’ll back it with Mexico drug cartel money but we’ll keep it legit. Oh and we’ll cut the local mob in as well. What could possibly go wrong?
I just finished watching The Hunters on prime. It was ok, some parts better than others. It sorta didn't seem to know where it was going or what is was trying to be (if that makes any sense).
Obviously some serious subject matter, dealing with holocaust flashbacks. But there were also Tarantino- like comic book type scenes (in the protagonist's mind) that were pretty humorous and witty. However, they were sporadic. And some of the twists at the end seemed a bit much. It sets itself up for a 2nd season, but I'm on the fence if they should or not, TBH.
At times, I'd want to give this series an 8, but other times a 5. I'll split the difference and say 6.5/10.

Yea I’m the same way although I’ve currently lost interest 5 episodes in. I quit it to watch ozark WHICH WAS AMAZING. But now I’m through with that so I might pick up hunters again if I can’t find anything else.
I was watching Get Shorty before all the quarintining started, but got sidetracked with other shows. I thought it was pretty good.
ozark is freakin incredible...wife had never seen an episode before last week, so i started over and now we’re on episode 5 of season 3.
i sometimes have to watch episodes twice anyway because something i didn’t catch earlier...the writing on this show is amazing.
as far as tiger king-esque shows, i’m researching that.

I think so. I never watched the movie, but the main plot is a dude that worked for a mobster ends up with a movie script while in Hollywood (on a "job") and wants to get the movie produced. Ray Romano is pretty good in it, as a director of crappy movies.
Innocence Files was pretty interesting docu-series. It's really messed up how innocent people spent 20 - 30 years in prison based on lazy and/or shady police work, and DA's.
If you liked that, have you seen "A Band Called Death"? Another cool rock & roll story.
no I will check it out. We may have talked about this before but have you seen “cbgb” about the club in New York where ramones, talking heads, blondie, iggy pop, etc got their start?
I saw the movie with Alan Rickman (RIP), thought it was pretty good. Is that the one?
And let me just say “outer banks” may be the worst show I’ve ever watched over two episodes of. Campy, corny, and geographically idiotic. They take a fuking ferry to chapel hill.
They get a lot wrong in that series but it is still pretty good. They romanticize him a lot and don't show how much of a psycho he really was
The Last Kingdom is like 100 times better than Game of Thrones. If you're into that type of show then I'd definitely recommend it.
'Message in a Bottle' is a romantic film with Kevin Costner about a coastal North Carolina boatbuilder. It was moderately interesting until they showed a NC beach scene. They got a lot right, but NC beaches don't have giant rocks. Not a big deal in the overall scheme of things, but it just pissed me off.
If you want a film that gets its NC location right, 'Bull Durham' is it. Always tickles me to see that wonderful old ball park, and the team bus rolling down those familiar streets and roads.
Since schools are no longer in school, I spend a lot of time home on my computer, assisting kids with any help they need. Not to my surprise but very few log on for assistance. So, that leaves me some time for Netflix.
Here are a few series/documentaries that I found outstanding.
I am a Killer - interviews with men and women who are on death row for murder. Very interesting how many of them describe a funked up life as a child.
Manhunt Unabomber- absolutely fantastic series. Gotta watch this. The man was phenomenally intelligent and a lunatic.
Seven Seconds- about the death of a young man and the cover up by local police. I loved it.
Hip Hop Evolution- If you love rap and love its history like I do, this is a series for you. Four seasons but only 5 episodes per season.
The Mind of Aaron Hernandez- goes deep in to the mind of this killer and what he may have been hiding with his violent nature.
The Staircase- As I watched this series, I changed my opinion several times as the series progressed. Very addictive.
Godless- a few years old but this is amazing series set in the old west. A town that is run by women have a wanted man among them and don't know it. They're about to find out.
Dirty Money- man, just watching this pissed me off. You have to see how the system is so friggin twisted and how money is made and lost. Mostly made.

Yeah, man. I watched 2 episodes and quit. Couldn't take it any more.
So, now here is the kicker. The producer and screenwriter of the series are from the same town as I am. Their dad is a retired judge. They are very smart and very spoiled. VERY spoiled.
*** Movie Hot Take ***
Bull Durham is terrible. Would gladly watch Grey's Anatomy instead, if given the option of the two.
Bull Durham is one of the very few sports movies that I can even bear to watch, and it is excellent. It has a realistic minor league baseball feel if you can disregard the cinematic excesses. I have no knowledge of GA.
Totally agree with this. I tried to watch and didn't even make it through episode two. There was an article in the local newspaper where the writer tried to explain away the ferry ride to Chapel Hill. He said that there was a segment where they got off the ferry and drove their car to CH but it got left out by the editors before he realized it and could make the correction.
thanks for the warning...wife is like, “ooh outer banks, our go-to”...me, “nope, not what you think”, so we’re out on that.
"Have Good Trip" was pretty funny. Celebrities share their acid trip experiences.
Several reminded me of my own. I was born high... never needed psychedelics. But, I'm through the looking glass now!
I never knew Carrie Fisher was so heavy into LSD!
