Legion
This show really caught me by surprise. I was curious to check it out — the cast is pretty decent — but from that first episode, I was wowed by how dark and crazy and weird this show is. The music used throughout is fantastic too — got chills when they used that Jane’s Addiction…

Medici: Masters of Florence
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…

Marco Polo (Season 2)
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.

Crazyhead
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…

Marco Polo (Season 1)
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…

Bojack Horseman Christmas Special: Sabrina’s Christmas Wish
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…

The OA
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…

Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency
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…

Reggie Watts: Spatial
At the extreme opposite end of that Michael Che comedy special is the new Reggie Watts special – called Spatial – also just released on Netflix. I’ve been a pretty big fan of Watts, and know what to expect from him – awkward laughs, weirdness, musical interludes, etc. This is what you get here, but…
