Netflix

In this tag, you’ll find all the productions which were available on Netflix’s platform when they originally premiered.

Ozark: Season 1/ Episode 2 “Blue Cat” – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)

Ozark makes a positive turn as Julia Garner shows up, we see these rural people ain’t stupid, and Marty shows he isn’t a complete ass.

Ozark: Season 1/ Episode 1 “Sugarwood” [Series Premiere] – Introduction/ Review (with Spoilers)

Ozark is not going to help the Netflix criticism of it focusing more on quantity over quality. However, there is this sliver of hope that when Julia Garner comes around [note]Hopefully in episode 2[/note], she can save this dull as cardboard show.

Castlevania: Season 1 – Summary/ Review (with Spoilers)

I can’t remember where, but recently I read something to the effect of Netflix being the new HBO. Something which Castlevania adds fuel to. If only because, while gloriously violent, like some HBO shows, it is rather thin in story.

Castlevania: Season 1/ Episode 4 “Monument” [Season Finale] – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)

So we learn, in the long run, Castlevania: Season 1 is simply an origin story. One made to build up to the reveal of Alucard and his rebirth.

Castlevania: Season 1/ Episode 3 “Labyrinth” – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)

Trevor ends up outmatched and outnumbered. However, being that he is a Belmont, all of that means nothing. Trigger Warning(s): Vomit Sounds

Castlevania: Season 1/ Episode 2 “Necropolis” – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)

More and more Castlevania seems like a movie that was excellently cut into 4 parts. For with us getting to know our assumed hero now, all that is missing is him being introduced to some baddies. Trigger Warning(s): Vomiting in episode, repeatedly (Not Within Attached Images)

Castlevania: Season 1/ Episode 1 “Witchbottle” [Series Premiere] – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)

Castlevania begins with a whimper but ends in a roar. One with scattered body parts and a being scorned looking for revenge.

GLOW: Season 1 – Summary/ Review (with Spoilers)

GLOW is very much like an action movie. When there is fighting you are engaged and kind of like “Wow, look at them.” However, when the leads start talking about their problems, you begin to understand why Netflix is probably the only company which would greenlight something like this.

Rita: Season 1/ Episode 1 “The Idealist” [Series Premiere] – Summary/ Review (with Spoilers)

Shows like this are why I’m a proud Netflix subscriber. For while Rita may not be an original property, Netflix uses its platform to expose you to some of the best non-English programming the world has to offer.

Free Rein: Season 1/ Episode 1 “Raven” [Series Premiere] – Introduction/ Review (with Spoilers)

Free Rein certainly won’t get Netflix new subscribers, but it may keep the kids, nieces/nephews, and little cousins of subscribers entertained. All the while, without the worry they may see something which requires an “adult” conversation.

Okja – Summary/ Review (with Spoilers)

Okja, at its heart, is more so about the food industry and animal rights than about a child and her dear pet.

GLOW: Season 1/ Episode 10 “Money In The Chase” [Season Finale] – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)

Season 1 of GLOW comes to an end with the queen of the Federation crowned. But, somethings regarding the characters go unresolved.

GLOW: Season 1/ Episode 9 “The Liberal Chokehold” – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)

With money low and seemingly it all over, the ladies of GLOW try to salvage this thing. Meanwhile, Sam gets some life changing news.

GLOW: Season 1/ Episode 8 “Maybe It’s All The Disco” – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)

It’s a bit of an emotional episode for everyone. Sheila gets to feel like one of the girls, Debbie has dinner with her husband, Sam goes through a breakup and someone has an abortion.

GLOW: Season 1/ Episode 7 “Live Studio Audience” – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)

The first matches of GLOW happen and while not without some problems, at least no one gets injured.

GLOW: Season 1/ Episode 6 “This Is One Of Those Moments” – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)

Debbie struggles to find a good rival, Ruth looks to be an authentic Russian character and Justine learns why it isn’t the best idea to meet your heroes.

GLOW: Season 1/ Episode 5 “Debbie Does Something” – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)

As GLOW seems less like a dream and more of a reality, Debbie finds herself needing to get serious if she is going to the star of this thing.

GLOW: Season 1/ Episode 4 “The Dusty Spur” – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)

GLOW refocuses on the yet to be developed characters and takes a keen interest in Sheila, Carmen, and a little bit into Tammé.

GLOW: Season 1/ Episode 3 “The Wrath of Kuntar” – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)

In case you were wondering who and why someone would finance Sam’s all women’s wrestling federation? Well, you get your answer.

You Get Me – Summary/ Review (with Spoilers)

You Get Me isn’t as bad as you may have assumed. However, it will likely end up just another random title on Netflix in time.

Nobody Speak: Trials of the Free Press – Summary/ Review (with Spoilers)

What hooks you as being a look into the Gawker v. Hulk Hogan case evolves into a warning message. A very familiar one not just about the elites bullying the press, but how Donald Trump is poison to the American democracy.

GLOW: Season 1/ Episode 2 “Slouch. Submit” – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)

Glow is still struggling but is getting better. Mostly thanks to Cherry becoming more prominent as well as Melrose.

GLOW: Season 1/ Episode 1 “Pilot” [Series Premiere] – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)

Glow doesn’t seem like a sure fire hit. If anything, like its wrestling theme, it’ll fit a niche. As for whether it is a big enough niche for Netflix to make another season? Well, let’s check out the rest of the season before saying that.

Crashing: Season 1/ Episode 6 [Season Finale] – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)

And so Crashing comes to an end which arguably can work as both a season and series finale. Even though one semi-major question is left unanswered.

Crashing: Season 1/ Episode 4 – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)

As Kate and Anthony reach a new openness in their relationship, the various other relationships of the show continue to grow stronger.

Crashing: Season 1/ Episode 3 – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)

During a dinner party, Lulu initiates a lot of conflicts, with some help from Sam. Making it so almost everyone shows their ass before the night is over.

Crashing: Season 1/ Episode 2 – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)

In episode two, you’ll still feel like you’re warming up to the characters. However, as they make you laugh, and not just Lulu, they begin to really grow on you.

Crashing: Season 1/ Episode 1 [Series Premiere] – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)

After Fleabag, there was the question of where Phoebe Waller-Bridge would take her talents to next. The answer? Crashing.

Sarah Silverman: A Speck of Dust – Summary/ Review (with Spoilers)

Sarah Silverman is the type of comedian who definitely isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. Yes, she is/was popular enough to have her own show. However, she isn’t the type of comedian who gets their own movies. Which is fine since she is at her best in supporting roles, see A Million Ways To Die In…

Joshua: Teenager vs. Superpower – Summary/ Review (with Spoilers)

When many think of protest and demonstrations in the modern age, Hong Kong isn’t perhaps what first comes to mind. In America, you’d think of the #BlackLivesMatter movement. In parts of the middle east, perhaps the Arab Spring. But when it comes to Asia, while they also have human rights issues, they don’t necessarily get…

War Machine – Summary/ Review (with Spoilers)

War Machine brings little to no nuance to the post-9/11 war sub-genre. It is a bloated film about one general’s ego and his belief the Afghan war wasn’t won yet because he wasn’t there.

Blame! – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Blame! Would lead you to believe that Netflix is testing out the possibility of expanding this to a series but wants to see their subscribers’ response is first.

Tracy Morgan: Staying Alive – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

In Tracy Morgan: Still Alive, Morgan proves he is much more than the Black guy from 30 Rock or SNL, or the dude who made millions off of Walmart.

Get Me Roger Stone – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

In Get Me Roger Stone, Roger Stone is presented beyond the level of the Koch Brothers or any non-politician political figure you may know. For truly, the way this documentary presents him, he should be in history books.

Ali Wong: Baby Cobra – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

In Ali Wong: Baby Cobra, we meet this 33-year-old, married, 7 and a half months pregnant woman who is still ready and able to perform standup. And while it seems her life may seem a little too put together for comedy, she erases that perception and brings the funny.

Anne (Anne with an E): Season 1/ Episode 7 “Wherever You Are is My Home” [Season Finale] – Overview/ Review (with Spoilers)

Anne: Season 1 comes to what feels like an abrupt end that could leave you slightly uneasy about one of the storylines for season 2.
