Discussion:

The debate 2016, thoughts? (keep it brief)
There are a lot of shows I’m watching.  Often a lot of shows that I fall behind on for whatever reason.  What causes you to fall behind on a show (aside from obvious lack of time.)  What causes you to choose one show over another?  What are your top 4 shows in your “I’ll get to that queue” what’s stopping you from watching them.

Bryce:  The Knick, The Americans, Tyrant and Mr. Robot
Anthony: Chef’s Table, Better Call Saul
Ryan:  Narcos Season 2, Turn,

Bullet Points:

FX renews Atlanta & Better Things

Donald Glovers new Dramedy is very good.  A lot of very serious good drama and acting mixed with quick wit and interesting characters.  Better Things stars Pamela Adlon, I have not seen it, but it’s basically like a female led “Louie”-esque show and she’s a Louie regular and crushes it, so I’m sure it’s good!

Netflix is aiming for 50% original content

This is a good news bad new situation.  Good in that most Netflix series are great and most Netflix movies are good/great.  This however is bad because they’ve even said “not every show needs to be a home run” which is basically saying, yeah, not all of it will work, but what are you going to do, watch Hulu?  To that I say…. Yeah fair point…  The other half of that 50% will of course continue to be licensed content which is getting more expensive as they understand how lucrative their content is to sites like Netflix, hence the change..

Shows I’m excited about, this fall season.

Westworld, Last man on Earth, Black Mirror, The Exorcist, Luke Cage, Son of Zorn???, Quarry, American Horror Story, Documentary Now

Coming to Netflix this month:

Ferris Bueller (coming of age comedy), Grizzly Man (documentary), Unforgiven (western), Black Mirror (horror?), Kung Fu Panda 3 (animated movie), The Fall
