    Although I’ve heard of the franchise, I’ve never actually read or watched any Cyborg 009. I saw that a new series just debuted on Netflix, and so decided to watch the first episode. So far so good — the episode does a good job of setting up the whole thing, so I don’t feel like…

    I was quite looking forward to watching this documentary series that just debuted on Netflix this weekend, following the tease from Scott Dadich in the latest issue of Wired (Dadich is Executive Producer on the series). I watched the first episode, covering one of my favorite illustrators, Christoph Niemann. It’s really well done, with slick…

    I didn’t think I’d watch this series — although I was kinda interested when I heard it had a Twin Peaks influence, I didn’t think I wanted to watch an Archie show. But it popped up on Netflix (here in Canada), and so I thought it might be fun to watch with my wife (who…

    For our lunch time “Watch Club” at work, after we got done watching Crazyhead, we moved on to this, and so far it’s been pretty good (we’ve watched the first 4 episodes of 8). It’s a pretty decent story, with a good cast, and hey, who doesn’t like watching Robb Stark. The only thing that…

    As I mentioned not too long ago, I finally got around to watching season 1 of Marco Polo, and now I’m halfway through season 2. Like I said then, I’ve really come to enjoy this show, and I’m a bit bummed that we won’t be getting any more seasons.

    I recently watched this with some friends at work during lunch time (we’d watch an episode every day), and it made for some really fun watching. Yes, it’s pretty much a British take on Buffy, but it still feels like its own thing, and was definitely even more darkly funny. I’d love to get another…

    I watched the first episode of this Netflix series quite a while ago, around the time it came out, and remember thinking it was alright, and I was planning on watching more, but never got around to it. Following my recent HK film viewing spree, I was reminded of this series, and so dived back…

    I just fell on this last night, a couple of hours before the end of Christmas, and I’m glad I watched it. It’s a really great parody of the type of Christmas episodes you’d see on sitcoms in the 80s (think Full House and Family Matters), and it reminds me that I really do need…

    I’m only a couple of episodes in, but so far I’m very pleasantly surprised by The OA. I hadn’t heard anything about this until a few days before it was released on Netflix last week, and found the trailer to be quite intriguing. What I’m seeing so far is still wrapped in mystery – which…

    I was interested by this series when I first heard about it – I like Douglas Adams (although I’ve only read his Hitchhiker’s stuff), and I generally enjoy the stuff that Elijah Wood is in – and so was happy to see it pop up on Netflix (as a Netflix Original here in Canada). I’ve…
