I wanted to look at Ballad of Buster Scruggs because it's an early example of the limited cinema run / 'straight to Netflix' / long haul flight market. Very careful with their subject matter. Watchable enough but you're basically binging shorts.
After her work on Sharp Objects I though to take a look at Amy Adams; 'Arrival' was fun but doesen't bare analysis beyond the cyber foyer, while 'Nocturnal Creatures' was far superior. Nuanced and depth, emotionally pretty brutal though (as well as visually).

So many particulars. So many questions.
I thought buster ballbags was self indulgent. Watch me repeat this shot, its cool. Beautiful colours though and I did enjoy overall, a few laughs.

The new Narcos: Mexico is fantastic. I wish I didn't have a life so I could binge the lot in a day.

Indeed. That show keeps getting better.
It took me a while to work out who was playing Ewan McGregor's brother
Hahaa you divvy

WATCH OUT, GEORGE, HE'S GOT A SCREWDRIVER!
I'm tempted to dig out Drug Wars: The Camarena Story for a bit of compare-and-contrast

The In Kraut
Six episodes in, this is a worthy successor to Buffy. I love how cheerfully "pro-Satan" and anti-Christianity the show is, that must be quite transgressive for the US these days. I also like how it deals with its LGBT characters. Despite being fun and occasionally quite camp, it really leans into the horror side of the premise and there is some genuinely creepy stuff in there. The episode with the sleep demon was especially Buffyesque.

Belatedly binging on both iZombie and The League.
iZombie is great, very much in the Veronica Mars/Buffy mould (unsurprising as it was created by VM head honcho Rob Thomas) but saddled with an awful name that can't have helped it when it first aired. The lead actress Rose McIver is brilliant tho, and the concept of taking on characteristics of the brains you eat makes for fun acting challenges and keeps it fairly fresh thus far.
The League is both one of the funniest things I've seen and really shit when it gets it wrong, perils of being mainly improvised I guess. Great cast and chemistry though. Plus Jason Mantzoukas

The first series is. It kind of falls to bits after that. It's not that it gets bad, it's just... A lot of these series aim a bit too high at first, which is an impossible level to carry on at and so everyone tunes out after because it can't keep it up. Whereas Grimm started out as "okay", never pretended to be more, and somehow landed 6 series.

finished godless.
Not as good as it promised in the early episodes - interesting characters were not fully developed -

mostly cos they got shot - and really could have done with losing the Jilly Copper esque "handsome ruffian tames beautiful widow's wild horses -smoulder smoulder" bollocks.
It was great when upending western chiches - but then reverted to "quickest on the draw" gunfights and the hero literally riding off into the sunset at the end.

The GF is away for the weekend visiting her mother, so I have a rare opportunity to watch all the good stuff she abhors. Looking for new/recent sci-fi / action-gore-fest / gratuitous-cgi-goodness. Anything like that. What do people recommend? Unnecessary nudity a definite plus.

I liked Colony (TV Series 2016–2018) - IMDb. Alien invasion hokum.
Not seen that. Thanks.

Yipchaa!
Netflix have cancelled Daredevil. Can only assume this is to do with Marvel/Disney's incoming streaming service, because I thought the buzz on Daredevil S3 was pretty strong (I certainly enjoyed it, and it's far and away the best of the street-level MCU/Netflix ventures).
