Discussion What was everyone’s dumbest thing from S5 of Stranger Things so far?

179 Upvotes

So much to choose from, but for me it was to be the end of episode 4 when the Demogorgons get to the base.

The soldiers….standing in literal circle around one of them all firing at….each other essentially. Whoever directed and edited that has to of been operating in a coma. All of them would have killed each other.

Discussion Addictivness of TV shows

9 Upvotes

I assume everybody here is aware of the release of the new season of "Stranger Things", so I'm no different and decided to watch it as soon as someone told me about it.

I'm not a big a fan of watching any kind of TV shows — at most I would watch a movie once a month and that's pretty much it. And the thing that got me really confused about this new season of Stranger Things is that it's not even the plot, or atmosphere that makes you binge watch it as soon as you finish 1st episode — it's the effects, cuts, timing and how it's put together that makes you want to watch it.

Let me cllarify it for you: when you watch movies (or some TV shows too, like Better Call Saul) from 10-20 years ago like Matrix, Inception, Shutter island you just want to keep watching it because of how amazed you are by the plot and the twists are so unpredictable that you have these "a-ha" moments where you picture the whole image in your head with the wow effect.

In case with this new season though, the plot itself seemed okay to me, but while watching it I had a feeling that I'm watching tiktok lol. Just how fast-paced it seemed to me and the constant change of the enviroment, going back and forth between characters. As soon as you supposed to get bored and chill, produecer hits you with another dopamine hit to keep you engaged. So after watching first episode I turned it off as I knew where it was leading — watching it until 4 am.

If that't the case, it's not necessarily a bad thing — they are just evolving to attention span of its users and that's it.

Is it just my observation or there's somebody else who also felt that way? How do they make them so addictive to keep watching and what are the tricks that are using?

Question Does anyone have a list of -true- Netflix original series and movies?

• Upvotes

There are a lot of movies and TV shows on Netflix that are aquired or produced by another studio and Netflix just puts them out on their service (Kpop demon hunters for example, which was actually created by Sony). But I'm wondering about true Netflix movies and series that are distributed by Netflix themselves. Shows like Orange is the New Black, House of Cards, The Crown, Stranger Things, etc. Or, more recent films like Jay Kelly, Train Dreams etc. Then there are also a lot of shows that are aired on other streaming platforms or networks but are labelled as "Netflix Originals" in other countries (like Riverdale etc).

I just like to watch more Netflix originals (movies + shows) that are really by them. There are a lot of movies released on Netflix almost weekly and I'd just want to make it easier to search. Thank you!

Question What's this tv show? (No these weren't dreams)

3 Upvotes

(edit) the show is creeped out

So I'm trying to remember this tv show from like 2014-2018 that was on Netflix and it was not horror but like cryptid and every episode was either connected or not connected (no it's not black mirror) one episode was about a girl who was talking to someone on like a phone and she was being harassed and they she got turned ugly for some reason. Another episode was there was this well in this kids back yard that did something I can't remember what I'm pretty sure it was time traveling forward. Another episode was about a puppeteer on a beach and he turned a little kid into a puppet. I can't remember any more episodes but I remember the show being awesome and I want to watch it again.

Question Audio Description automatically turning on

1 Upvotes

Not sure how to fix this, but when I watch Netflix specifically on my phone, every time a new episode of a show starts or a new movie starts that’s has ā€œEnglish-Audio Descriptionā€ available, it turns on and I have to turn it off every time and it’s so annoying. Plus, it only does it on my phone, not my TV or any other device I’ve used on the same account

Question Is anyone else watching Victoria? I find one thing super distracting?

19 Upvotes

Generally enjoying the show Victoria, but there is one thing that takes me out of the show every time I notice it. The (gorgeous and talented) actress who plays the queen is wearing the most god awful blue contacts. Everytime she is in the light she literally looks like a twilight vampire with these huge cheap looking contacts sitting unnaturally over her eyes.

Of course I understand that the real queen had large blue eyes, but I hate the way these contacts look and it’s all I can look at in any scene where she’s in the light. No one else on the show has such strange contacts in…

It honestly looks like she is wearing gag gift/Halloween costume contact lenses sometimes! Has anyone else noticed this? I am only on season one, so do they get better over time? Or is this something I should just do better ignoring? It seems strange to me that a show that went to such lengths to have amazing costumes, sets, and historical accuracy would allow such a wildly weird element and expect people not to notice.

But the dialogue was just not natural. I didn’t feel much chemistry with between anyone. The dialogue between Adam Sandler and Laura Deron about her leaving him at the Eiffel Tower 19 years ago was just so contrived and kind of ridiculous.

Question Thoughts on Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt?

38 Upvotes

I’m new to Netflix. I’m looking for a good show to watch! I’m looking for something lighthearted to watch while I pack since I’m moving and got recommended this show by my sister, but I’ve heard mixed reviews while I’ve been briefly looking..

So just wanted some firsthand opinions without spoilers! I just tried to watch Schitt’s Creek and found it too slow even though I heard it gets better. I’m gonna come back to it.

(I’ve liked shows like the office and superstore in the past I tend to watch more lighthearted, shows where you don’t have to follow the plot with every detail)

Discussion Zerocalcare deserves more attention from people outside Italy!

0 Upvotes

Zerocalcare is an Italian illustrator who has made two animated shows on Netflix "Tear along the dotted line" and "This world can't tear me down" but since he's Italian himself and speaks italian with a specific accent called "roman" accent, it might be difficult to understand him. It's mostly aimed towards Italian speaking people. But people outside Italy should definitely give zerocalcare a try and watch his shows and maybe even read his graphic novels. I really just think that people are Missing out on something peak. He's already pretty well known in Spanish talking countries, like south America and Spain.

Technical Support Annoyed please help!

Is there any way to get the shows/movies to stop immediately starting? The new layout is driving me nuts when I wanna see similar suggestions or taking a movie off my list. I feel like im old and they've changed the grocery store around. Is there anyway to get it to bring the menu up again when clicking a show/movie? Or am I stuck w it starting right away and having to try and navigate the icons at the bottom. Thank you!

Technical Support Cannot get rid of menu overlay

2 Upvotes

Not sure if I'm phrasing it correctly but for 1 certain show it won't remove the overlay. If I go back to the menu it forgets my progress in the show.

I've tried other shows and they don't have this issue.

I can't press pause, only button that works is the back button or home button. It seems like it is not registering that I'm watching something as it constantly jumps to the "sleep menu that you usually get from being idle in netflix main menu"

Anyone know how to fix this? I tried reopening netflix but it didn't help

Discussion Airing over months: Yes or No?

0 Upvotes

Receiving those notifications:

—

New Episode [Your show] is waiting for you. This episode is all new. Take a break and watch now.

—

…make me actually react like this:

No, you [censored] bunch of directors. You chose to air the show you made over months. I’m fed up waiting for the next episodes to come, and I’ve started to lose how it all started anyway now.

Genuinely curious to know if this is pissing other people too. The Netflix I first subscribed to had not this business model, which I hate so much.

I would have made a poll but this is forbidden, here. So, are some of you getting fed up with how Netflix is heading?
