Having rewatched the series recently and being from Melbourne I'm impressed how accurate they got the inner suburban 20 something Melbourne sharehouse going on.
 
I watched something I think it was called 'small is beautiful' about tiny houses cus I well like ikea showrooms


it was the most depressing think I have seen in a while, one woman with grey hair said that since building her tiny house she doesnt think rough sleepers are doing anything wrong, without it she'd have been reporting em, like it took her til she got grey hair and a tiny house to figure that out

there was a couple that hated each other too.

no wonder it only got 2 stars. it was depressing, especially that couple - they had 'passionate discussions' which would make their dog go and hide apparently.

waste.
 
I just started watching something good called 'Maron' about this divorced middle aged dude who lives with cats and does a podcast from his garage with all these different comedians and the first episode was called 'internet troll' which was what made me press play :cool:

That's excellent. Watched it all.
 
Just watched Keep On Keepin On

Keep on Keepin' On (2014) - IMDb

It's a documentary following the relationship between ailing jazz trumpet legend Clark Terry and his young protégé, Justin Kauflin, a blind pianist. CT wasn't just one of the top flight of musicians, he was also a teacher and inspiration for countless musicians over the years, among their number big names; some of the biggest. His warmth and humanity and tireless dedication to passing on his knowledge, even in the face of personal hardship, is moving. And the young pianist he champions is exceptionally talented. But it's their friendship that's the star of the film.
 
Just discovered there's a hidden list of sub-genres which may make finding films you want to watch easier...

First, make sure you're signed into your Netflix on your computer

Next, stick this root URL into your browser:

Code:
https://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/

Then find a sub-genre from the following code list, and then add its code number to the end of the URL above and press return:

NetFlix Streaming by Alternate Genres (Extended List)

So for example, if you want suggestions of ‘Korean crime thrillers’, the code number is 434, so go to...

Code:

Last night I watched the first three episodes of The Good Wife. I thought it was a bit crap. Cliche-fest with some rather wooden acting.

Not everything can be 3 hour-long films about subsistence farming. :( Can't really remember the first series but I just binge-watched season 7 over three days and I'm not ashamed. Well maybe a little bit. That's 20 hours of telly and I was at work one of the days.
 
I have made it all the way through The Killing, The Bridge, Wallander, Trapped, Battlestar Galactica and Bloodlines and none of them are about subsistence farming.

I gave up on bloodlines after about a series. Not sure why. It just started annoying me.

I think you should try Gilmore Girls.
 
I started watching Terrace House which is a Japanese TV show about strangers living together in some mega posh house. They're all yuppies and beautiful and it's basically Big Brother...actually, it's exactly like that MTV show The Real World, if you remember that?

Absolute shite TV, but interesting for me because I don't have much knowledge of Japanese life. The people involved are all privileged so it's a very narrow insight into that world, but it was still pretty curious. Especially some of the cultural differences. The way they talked about marriage and career goals and the 'natural' gender roles they all fell into was pretty out there. Only watched a few episodes, which is probably enough for me to get what I wanted out of it.

The most shocking aspect were the talking heads who observed, and commented on, and judged the people living in the house.
 
I really liked Bloodline. I'll give S2 a go when I've finished Occupied which is shaping up nicely. I really like the premise - I like the way the concept of occupation chimes so loudly with the experience of countries like Norway in WW2. That restaurant woman is clearly going to be in for it at some point as a collaborator for instance....
 
I'm now most of the way through A series of unfortunate events. Really, really enjoying it. I know it's a kids show but it's well put together and sometimes very funny. It's also a treat to look at, I love how visual it is, there is always something to look at. When I have finished I think I'm going to watch it all again with the kids.
 
I just watched a chris rock documentary called 'good hair'

was alright but coulda gone a bit deeper
