In this tag, you’ll find all the productions which were available on Netflix’s platform when they originally premiered.
Big Mouth seems like it will be the few Netflix series, this year, to deserve a long lifespan on the network.
Season 1 of Neo Yokio ends and well, the ending, like most of the show, may leave you feeling a bit divisive. Depending on if you ever allowed yourself to get used to its eccentricities.
As Kaz shows his distaste for those who don’t seek to fit in, he finds himself forced to deal with the Helenists.
Gaga: Five Foot Two reminds you that behind the pop icon Lady Gaga is Stefani Germanotta. A person, a woman, a world-renowned singer, but still a human being. One whose pain, both physical and mental, she lives with every day and has to fight off to live her dream.
If you are aware of Jaden Smith eccentricities and find it a bit too weird for your taste, steer clear of Neo Yokio.
While Jeff Dunham’s stereotypical puppets are losing their edge, Walter and Peanut help show Jeff still has it.
Let me preface this with noting the white washing of Netflix’s Death Note won’t be a pressing point. What will be is that it turned a cool, made for adults, anime into something that seems like a young adult novel adaptation. Trigger Warning(s): Use of gorey picture
While Lynne Koplitz: Hormonal Beasts won’t lead you to question why it took her 20 years to have a special like this, it will lead you to wonder why haven’t you heard of her before?
Atypical ends with all that made it great. Cringey moments paired with heartfelt ones alongside cute relationships and the question of: was Elsa’s affair necessary?
As the Winter Formal comes around, so comes a lot of drama. Of which Casey and Sam find themselves in the middle of.
Both Casey and Doug show their cruel side in this episode. Leading to Elsa and Paige having hurt feelings and Sam standing up for himself.
It’s a good episode for Doug and Elsa’s kids. Casey breaks a track record and gets recruited to a fancy school and Sam gets a girlfriend.
We officially learn what Doug did and also see how Elsa reacts to everyone not needing her as much.
While the groundhog day concept isn’t new, one has to wonder can another production use the narrative in a funny, insightful, or heartfelt way? Well, Naked sort of tries.
Sam get’s his first taste of heartbreak as Casey maybe getting her first taste of what love is. Meanwhile, as Doug makes headway with Sam, he might be losing Elsa.
Atypical can and should become a hit for Netflix. If only because it isn’t trying to be a hit and reminds you why Netflix used to be on such a pedestal. For this is a story you can’t imagine network, cable, or the premium stations offering. It is the type of program you can only…
Message From The King is a procedural revenge story where our lead finds one guy, to learn the name of another, and this process repeats until he is ready to exact his bloody revenge.
Ozark isn’t for everyone. It requires patience to get into and, outside of the character of Ruth, it is hard to guarantee you’ll grow to like it.
The Incredible Jessica Jones is the type of film which definitely won’t be for everyone. Like with Girlboss, we are given a character who arguably can be narcissistic, but you can grow to love. Though I can’t guarantee with time that will be true for every last Netflix subscriber.
I know I have been hemming and hawing about this or that all season, but Ozark’s season finale is probably the best I’ve seen in a long time.
Death is usually what surprises me the most when it comes to any show. But considering who got killed for who, by who, my jaw is hanging a little bit.
As Marty figures out a way, thanks to Wendy, to get the remaining money he needs, Ruth and Charlotte come to the edge of a breaking point.
Two girls leading two separate lives. Charlotte is just focused on a cute older boy while Ruth is trying to be just like her daddy. Just without ending up in jail.
Marty begins making power moves which upset the local order. All the while, the FBI tries to make friends with the Langmores and Wendy is making some moves of her own.
Ozark continues to get better as Ruth’s family plays a bigger role, a potential love interest seems possible for Marty, and the FBI land in Ozark.
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 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.
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.
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.
Trevor ends up outmatched and outnumbered. However, being that he is a Belmont, all of that means nothing. Trigger Warning(s): Vomit Sounds
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 begins with a whimper but ends in a roar. One with scattered body parts and a being scorned looking for revenge.
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.
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 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, at its heart, is more so about the food industry and animal rights than about a child and her dear pet.
Season 1 of GLOW comes to an end with the queen of the Federation crowned. But, somethings regarding the characters go unresolved.
With money low and seemingly it all over, the ladies of GLOW try to salvage this thing. Meanwhile, Sam gets some life changing news.
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.
