As with the other series on Netflix (more notably Jesse Jones), I felt this series was a little dragged out to the agreed 13 episodes.
The story is good with Luke playing the underdog well, and the different setting of Harlem worked well.
My favourite moment was in the flashback after Luke escaped from Seagate prison and ended up dressed like the 70s comic equivalent for a brief moment

A cool and sexy Vampire show
A cool Vampire show written by Kevin Williamson who also worked on Scream, @The Following - Season 1
 @Stalker - Season 1
This has the same look and vibe to it. I was worried this might be like @Twilight (2008) but it's much better than that. If you like Vampire tales you should like this. It's now on Netflix.

A Pretty Decent Netflix Original
This film is 'old hat' in terms of fighting a 'presence' that no one quite understands, but it does it in an interesting way and that's what kept me watching. There are no big names in this flick, however, the cast is still very good, making the characters both believable and interesting. Special effects were pretty good too. Would I watch again? Maybe.

Interesting Story
The storyline in this movie is very interesting which is what caused me to bother watching it at all. The acting let this one down though, it all felt very forced, which is generally what I've come to expect from TV movies. The locations they filmed at are very beautiful though. Probably wouldn't bother watching again but it's worth a look if you've run out of interesting things to watch on Netflix.

Funny, but filthy
I've never heard of Greg Davies before. I have been enjoying British comedians from Netflix specials so I thought I'd give it a go.

It is pretty funny if at times so filthy that it's hard to get really into it. To jokes about his mother's sexual experiences to a furry sight gag, the subject matter is pretty raunchy.

Granted he does have a couple decent attempts at positive motivational moments.

Generally speaking I lughed, but not a lot.

2019 | Mystery
Came across this on Netflix and thoroughly enjoying it, completely different to what I normally watch. Am about half way through series one and is compelling. It is a political drama based in Australia with twists and turns, the only problem is that I keep expecting the unusual to happen as Anna Torv plays the main role of a journalist but those into sci-fi may remember her from the series Fringe and to be honest I haven’t seen her in anything else.

Ok, so I saw a recommendation online for a movie on Netflix called "Teeth". I looked it up and watched it. It's a dark-comedy/horror film. This one was weird. Do NOT watch it with kids as it has a lot of sexual content and some pretty gross scenes. It was made well enough. The acting was a bit, meh, but not too bad. The story had some, well, sick twists... anyway, worth a watch if you're into horror films.

2018 | Action, Comedy
This Netflix original action comedy stars the comedic trio from "Workaholics". The cinematography was good. The acting and storyline was pretty much what you'd expect from this group. There is some sexual and drug use content and a few gross violence scenes so this one really isn't for kids. If you're into "weird and goofy" comedies you'll enjoy this one. There are quite a few familiar comedic faces, as well. I'd say it's worth a watch if you're REALLY bored.

2018 | Thriller
This turned out to be one heck of a thriller. Netflix did it again. Very dark and intense tale that takes place in Alaska. Reading the description barely touches the surface of the movies depth. The story played out great and the acting was very good. The imagery and cinematography were very well done. It's a fairly violent movie so may not be for kids. I'd watch it first and decide for yourselves though, parents. REALLY worth a watch though.

Funny from start to finish
This Netflix show files the life of a 16year old lady and his struggles to navigate teenage life. His mum is a sex therapist and he has issues with his ability to get a girl.
Eventhough it is about teenagers I found that I could still enjoy the show as it made me laugh the things that you know all teenagers go through.
Looking forward to another series.
