I watched this show last month, when it was finally put on Netflix (US). I keep bouncing between wanting to rate it a 7 or an 8. I feel like the show didn't quite live up to the hype. The weird, and frankly, unnecessary fling in it struck me as kind of off... I mean, I guess it was so the characters had more feelings towards each other? I watch a lot of films/shows, and I did kind of figure who was pulling all of the strings after the school was bombed. It had a very '24' vibe. I liked that it was a short season, and honestly, it doesn't need to be continued, it was good as a limited series.

Amazing!
I first started watching this on Netflix and I could not stop! You think it's just some stalker that is interested in this girl and it's a bit creepy, but then he takes it to another level and follows every aspect of her life.
Then they meet, and it all changes.

I did binge watch this and would recommend this. I didn't think it was going to count for much but it got to the end and I wanted more.

I really don't want to spoil at all so I will end this short on saying this is the best show I have watched in a long time... The way the show starts, the middle, the end..it's just fantastic.

Cool concept

I really enjoy monster movies. Not getting to actually SEE the monsters makes for an interesting story. Netflix did a good job with this one. Sandra Bullock delivers another great performance(I'm biased-lol). Anyway the acting was really well done and the cinematography was, too. People keep complaining about the ending but I thought it turned out really interesting. No closure to the monsters or any real explanation of what they were, but it showed that there was hope. Sometimes that's all we have to hold onto. Sure, I would've liked to have seen Tom survive with them, but that would have changed the dynamic of the story and Mallory's driving force. All in all I'd say this one is really worth a watch!

Bad taste humour at times
It is funny
The Muppets is definately isn't....
Only watched based on the trailer on Netflix and have to say I wasn't disappointed... Don't expect an academy award winning film and you won't be upset.

The puppets fit in with the live actors and the production works well. The humour is often in bad taste but not offensive unless you are one of those people who take offense just for the sake of it...

It was an enjoyable way to pass the time and I did find myself laughing out loud even though I was on my own while watching it and that doesn't happen often...
  
The Devil Next Door
The Devil Next Door
2019 | Documentary, History
When I saw this miniseries on Netflix, I was actually looking forward to it. I have read the Nazi Next Door, which featured this dude in the majority of the book. Since I had only read that book, from the perspective of the Nazi Hunters themselves, I was fairly sold that this dude was indeed Ivan the Terrible.
However, now, I'm not so sure. Maybe he was, maybe he wasn't. Obviously, there's a possibility, but now I'm not sure. I do believe that the dude was at least a guard at a Nazi camp.
While this was interesting, towards the end, it grew repetitive. Which is always a death knell for me, and always causes me to rate items lower.

Brilliant program with a but of something for everyone! Easily relatable.

From the mind of Mindy Kaling, the show takes us into the crazy yet completely relatable world of Asian-American teenager Devi Vishwakumar.

She’s had some major downs in the past year and is determined to turn it all around as she focuses on becoming cool, getting a boyfriend and just living her best life.

That’s all easier said than done, of course. And watching her attempts in the hilarious 10- episode series is an absolute hoot.

But if you need a bit more convincing then we’re more than happy to explain all the reasons why this is the best Netflix show you’re not watching right now
