Fuller House...

said nobody!

Edit- O! people did say it! Must be the jokesters!

They take constant digs at the Olsen twins. Who doesn't find that entertaining? 😐

Good point, well made!



Around the Network

House of cards
Arrested development season 4- originalish
Black mirror
Sense 8
Stranger things - i think it is over rated but i am putting it just becausr i haven't seen much netflix original... and OITNB is kinda meh for me



 

I haven't seen anyone say Grace and Frankie yet. Great comedy. Lots of great actors.

I don't really count the comedy specials as Netflix originals. I have watched a bunch of those and most of them are great.

I hear Master of None is great. Haven't watched it myself yet.

Making a Murderer was great if you like documentaries.

Stranger things
The OA

There only actual original ones I've seen. Sometimes they call things netflix originals if it's just the first time a program has been broadcast in your country which is abit cheeky



I started watching Black Mirror today. Didn't realize the order of the episodes is all fucked up. Wanted to show me S3E2 after I watched the first one. Why is this the only series thats backwards? So I stopped until I can figure this out. Only saw S3E1.

Probably Daredevil and Stranger Things, but I wouldn't call either show great. Just good solid fun. I am looking forward to Punisher though.

3-Daredevil
4-Jessica Jones
5-Daredevil season 2

I mentioned it :) I love it. It reminds me so much of "Shogun" the book series by James Clavell.

Its one of my favorite books.

 

"Feudal Japan in 1600 is in a precarious peace. The heir to the Taiko (Regent) is too young to rule, and the most powerful five overlords of the land hold power as a Council of Regents. Portugal, with its vast sea power, supported by the Catholic Church mainly through the Order of the Jesuits, have gained a foothold in Japan and seek to extend their power. But Japanese society is insular and xenophobic. Guns and Europe's modern military capabilities are still a novelty and despised as a threat to Japan's traditional Samurai warrior culture.

John Blackthorne, an English pilot, serving on the Dutch warship Erasmus, is the first English pilot to reach Japan. England (and Holland) seek to disrupt Portuguese (and Catholic) relations with Japan and establish ties of their own through trade and military alliances.

Erasmus is blown ashore on the Japanese coast at the village of Anjiro during a storm. Blackthorne and the few survivors of his crew are taken captive by local samurai, Kasigi Omi, until his daimyō (feudal lord) and uncle, Kasigi Yabu, arrives. Yabu puts Blackthorne and his crew on trial as pirates, using a Jesuit priest to interpret for Blackthorne. Losing the trial, Blackthorne attacks the Jesuit, rips off his crucifix, and stamps it into the dust to show the daimyō that the priest is his enemy. The Japanese, who know only the Catholic version of Christianity, are shocked by the gesture. Yabu sentences Blackthorne and his crew to death. However, Omi, who is quickly proving himself as a clever adviser, convinces Yabu to spare them in order to learn more about European ways."

 

TL:DR : Blackthorne becomes close friends to a Toranaga, and he rises in power (toranaga) to become the Shogon (single ruler of all of japan).

Anyways its a fantastic read, and gives great insight into the culture of the japanese during that time periode.

^ trust me this book is worth the price tag.

 

Theres also a TV mini series : (9h-10hours)

https://www.amazon.com/Shogun-Richard-Chamberlain/dp/B0000A2ZNX/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1483830300&sr=8-1&keywords=shogun+the+miniseries

 

The tv series is pretty good, but you need to read the book first.

It ll make the tv series go from being good, to great, when you watch it.



I never watched Stranger Things. I told my wife about it since it seemed like something we'd both be into. She watched like five minutes with me and left the room so I quit watching it, too.

Today, she says "Hey, have you heard of Stranger Things? It's like It's so good! I watched it all day yesterday!"



Since when is Black Mirror a Netflix original?
