The Netflix Thread

Just a few days ago I was wondering if it was worth firing up the old Netflix account for a month just to see if I am missing out on anything.

I am not.

Seriously. I was just about to sub back up for a week to watch Arcane s2. that legit makes me give pause, and reconsider the high seas.

I wonder how their tracking works. would subbing up, watching arcane only and unsubbing send a message?

Nope.

You are not the main character. You are a decimal point that gets rounded but they will happily take your money for a month for minimal server costs.

Is there anything good on any streaming? Movie or series?

There's lots of good stuff on streaming. There's just so much stuff on there. If you're only looking for brand new then it's a bit harder to find really quality stuff but Arcane S2 and Silo S2 are both current top shelf shows.
If you just want entertainment then there's a million things to watch.
In the last week I've watched Dredd and Bullet Train, both on Netflix.

Jentry Chau vs the Underworld is an odd Texas-Korean teenager version of Jackie Chan Adventures. I applaud them trying for stuff that isn't shaming Tomb Raider and other existing franchises but they still need to step up the quality on these by a point or two.

When you want to answer the question: How many Woke-related Oscars can a movie win?

De Niro stars as George Mullen, a respected former U.S. President, who's brought back into the federal government for one more job - investigating a catastrophic cyber attack that killed thousands and wrought chaos across the country. As head of the so-called Zero Day Commission, Mullen is tasked with finding the perpetrators before they carry out a second attack, all while contending with a constant stream of disinformation, dark personal secrets, and competing interests in tech, finance, and politics.
De Niro and Bassett lead a stacked cast for Zero Day, which also includes Jesse Plemmons as Mullen's former aide-turned-fixer, Roger Carlson, and Lizzy Caplan as Alexandra Mullen - daughter of the former president, now a congressional representative trying to chart her own political future. Joan Allen will play Mullen's wife, Sheila, who's been nominated to be a federal judge; Connie Britton will play Valerie Whitesell, Mullen's former chief of staff; and Matthew Modine will play Richard Dreyer, the current speaker of the house.
Other key cast members for Zero Day are Bill Camp, Dan Stevens, McKinley Belcher III, Gaby Hoffman, Clark Gregg, and Mark Ivanir. The show was created by Eric Newman and Noah Oppenheim, while De Niro was also closely involved as a producer.




so de niro is going to be former republican president turned special investigator that does all the bad stuff? surely he couldn't be a dem.
