And on another note, it seems like Netflix has really been lacking in the U.K. recently, I’ve noticed that they hardly add any new shows these days that aren’t Netflix originals. It seems like their deal with the CW must have come to an end for starters as they haven’t added any of their newer shows like Legacies and Roswell New Mexico (and I really wanted to see that one!), it’s just been the new seasons of shows that they already had an existing arrangement with. Traditionally they’ve always included tons of shows from the other US networks, they were one of the easiest ways to find shows like Breaking Bad, The Good Place, Suits, Hannibal etc etc. And they’re all still there thankfully, but they’ve hardly picking up any new shows. Hopefully not a sign of things to come, but I suspect that it is :(
Watching the new Black Mirror episode Bandersnatch was certainly an interesting experience! I thought it was a very cool concept with all of the different paths you could choose, although admittedly I don’t have the patience that some people had when it comes to spend apparently four hours or more on all of the different options. I think I spend about an hour and 30 minutes on it max lol.

Another show I’ve been watching on Netflix is You. I’m not surprised that viewings apparently leapt up so much after Netflix acquired it. I’ve seen some skepticism over the 40 million number of views, but it makes sense when you consider that this is world wide, so just think of the extra views they can get from the U.K., from Canada, from Australia, from Germany alone, and that’s just four countries we’re talking about! I don’t get why more US networks like say HBO aren’t willing to consider a worldwide streaming service for their shows, it’s what makes sense in this day and age IMHO

And You was a fun binge watch, but tbh I was planning on just watching the one season to see what all the fuss is about, and then dropping it. It’s hard for me to get really into shows when I don’t connect with the characters, and neither Joe or Beck were really doing it for me.ExpandRead more... )

:eyes little hearts suspiciously: This all seems rather strange to me, and I know that a lot of my flit is against it. What seems odd is that apparently you don't even get a notification of which user liked your entry, LJ just tells you that someone did? So it's not even a lazy way of acknowledging that you read an entry, but just had nothing to say. The user won't know that you were the particular user that liked their entry (from what I understand anyway?), so what exactly is the point of it?!?

It does lead rather nicely into more of my thoughts on Black Mirror though, so there is that *g*

I've never watched Black Mirror before, but I read some hype for how harrowing and powerful episode three is, and so I thought that I'd give it a shot out of order as every episode is apparently self-contained

ExpandShut Up And Dance )

It was all horribly sordid and depressing really, I can't stop thinking about the ending and feeling traumatised. I'm curious to check out some more episodes definitely, but I think that I need to take a break first!
