In this tag, you’ll find all the productions which were available on Netflix’s platform when they originally premiered.
More and more we see how often people avoid doing something when they could of and the show leads you to reflect on how many things you just watched, ignored, or avoided just because it would have required effort you weren’t willing to expend.
You know, it amazes me how you can separate yourself from a show for a few hours, and then be put right back in your feelings when you start it again.
Remember the need to look for that red flag in the last episode review, yeah, now it is time to grip it as Clay is getting thoughts of being a vigilante.
Was, or rather is, Alex really the ass that Hannah paints him as? Is Justin such a bad guy? It seems just like they didn’t know the effect they had on Hannah’s life, Hannah didn’t know how terrible their lives were either.
As it becomes established that the series’ goal is fleshing out other people perspectives and how they are dealing with Hannah’s death, much less the tapes, you learn to appreciate the changes.
Though there are a few minor changes, mostly which are understandable, Thirteen Reasons Why starts off with things being very close to the book. Well, with the exception of us getting to experience Hannah with our own eyes and perhaps Clay not being as much of a saint.
The 2nd special which premiered on Netflix doesn’t up the ante or maintain the quality of the first, but it’s good enough that the desire to complain is minimum.
I’m very conflicted on how this ends and not because of how great the ride has been, but because of who is waiting for us at the final stop. (The killer is revealed below in the footnotes)
Charlie lays out a full and compelling confession, but something is up. Something doesn’t make sense and Kato, Alexander, and Schneider are trying to piece together what.
After the “Meh” Trevor Noah special and Amy Schumer’s which was, like a cheap knockoff of a brand name comedian, Chappelle redeems Netflix’s comedy lineup with “The Age of Spin.”
As it is learned that Sophie and Leon’s body were handled the same way as Kato, the amusing thought of a serial killer that was brought up before becomes something credible.
Everything was fine and dandy, and quite normal, but then the last 5 minutes really shake things up in a way where the reveal of who shot who gets completely forgotten about.
This show is truly the epitome of what it means when I label the pilot as “Stick Around.” For not all shows can hit a home run their first time up at bat. Some bunt, some just get to first base, and they need some time. The more shows I watch, of which I’m pretty…
The deeper down the rabbit hole we go the more interesting the story. Especially as it seems Alexander maybe very familiar with partaking in corruption of justice.
As a similar crime to Kato’s is found, and Melanie reveals an interesting tidbit, Schneider finally learns about the biker who Alexander was trying to protect.
Things begin to get interesting as Kato’s past and blood test arrive and Inspector Schneider finds herself at the Hotel Beau Séjour.
As we get to learn more about the characters, so begins the questioning of who may have killed Kato and why.
Hotel Beau Séjour certainly isn’t something which will hook you on the first episode, but it is weird enough for you to want to see how things play out.
Burning Sands is everything GOAT was hyped up to be and more. To the point that putting them in the same sentence is damn near an insult.
Documentaries, usually, are not about happy topics. They are about exposing someone’s suffering, sometimes their triumphs, but rarely is the most empowering tales without the shock someone survived all they were put through. So is the case of Audrie and Daisy in which one didn’t survive all they went through.
I’d like to think I enjoy vulgar comedy. After all, the majority of comedians I like can’t do a complete stand-up performance without some mention of bodily fluids, sex, or cursing. Much less, I’m a fan of the people Judd Apatow made famous. Yet, while I loved Trainwreck, I felt reminded why I have never…
While Trevor Noah, like many comedians today, dabbles in observations on politics, traveling and life, there isn’t a lot of yelling, screaming, cursing and what have you. It’s about the storytelling, the use of accents, and the type of comedy you hear from friends every day. Just laced up well into an hour long special.
While ABC has become the leader in having diverse and modern comedies, drama, and sitcoms, Netflix is steadily challenging them for the throne and perhaps the best example to date is One Day At a Time. A show which, just in 12 episodes, fully establishes the characters, their personalities, their goals, and by the final episode it leaves you in tears.
Overview/ Review (with Spoilers) After Take the Ten, I had a real fear that as Netflix tries to beef up the amount of original content it had, it would focus solely on quantity over quality. However, to my surprise, despite a corny title, and Maisie Williams, arguably, not having the best filmography, they have put…
Overview/ Review (with Spoilers) After Revolori’s past performances in Dope as well as The Grand Budapest Hotel, combined Josh Peck’s work, of which I honestly only know him for The Wackness and appearing in David Dobrik videos (I wasn’t a Drake and Josh fan), there was some hope here. I figured, like XOXO, it would…
Overview/ Review (with Spoilers) If you look at the season as something made to appeal universally, you’ll be disappointed. However, if you look at this as a children’s series, one more so aimed at tweens or children, you learn to accept the show’s quality and style.
Overview Sense8 makes a quick visit to remind us of its existence, recap the state of all the characters, and move the story just enough forward so that it can get you excited for when Season 2 really begins. Trigger Warning(s): Gun Violence | Needle Injections Review (with Spoilers)
Overview Like the majority of comic book adaptations in the modern age, Jessica Jones is dark, brooding, and somber. Making it so perhaps the one unique trait the show may have is the fact it has a female lead.
Overview In a world in which comedic movies are often fueled by drug references and sexual innuendo, Pee-Wee’s Big Holiday may seem tame, outdated, and strictly made to appease those who need their nostalgia fix. But, if anything, it serves to show that those often neglected because their funny bone isn’t tickled by vulgarity can…
Overview And so the first season ends with one last, and final test, well at least for some. Review (with Spoilers)
Overview The tests may be over, but the process isn’t thanks to Michele. Review (with Spoilers)

Overview A young girl trying to escape the financial fate her mother has accepted gets involved with a local hoodlum in order to make money.
Introduction Like many, between Def Comedy Jam, Friday, and many other movies, I found myself laughing my behind off watching Chris Tucker in the 90s. However, after spending an hour and a half watching his comedy special, I have come to the conclusion that maybe the reason why he hasn’t released a comedy special of…
Recap The first half of the season comes to an end and it time to learn if there are happy endings all around, some clouds amongst a sunny day, or if the Bronx’s curse ruins all the hopes and dreams of the youth. Trigger Warning(s): Gun Violence | Cockroach Major Characters Zeke | Mylene…
Recap Jackie actually comes through, Zeke perhaps embraces the corporate world, and Shaolin learns the fate of his DJ career. Major Characters Zeke | Mylene | Jackie | Shaolin Fantastic | Boo-Boo
