Give me something to watch on Netflix

I just finished season two of 1923. It was a fine production and a well told story.
I enjoyed 1883 as well, but couldn't get into the might-is-right mentality of Yellowstone.

Yellowstone reminds me a bit of Breaking Bad in that, you start off rooting for certain characters. Lines are crossed, and you find yourself turning against main characters, then watching to find out how it all ends up.

My wife and I still have not completed Yellowstone. At one point, I found myself rooting for the Native Americans. Yet, they have a brutal history of wiping out competing tribes. In the grand scheme, maybe zero humans are worthy of this planet. Maybe, when humans become extinct, dogs and cats will take over the planet. That seems fair.
 
I think I'm officially done with Righteous Gemstones. The first episode was great (the Civil War throwback) but everything since just reminded me of why I was getting tired of it last season. I hate all three of the kids and really pretty much every character, and it's just worn thin. It feels really mean-spirited and nasty now. Oh well.

You seem a bit eastbound and down about it. I can't recall which episode was the last I watched of TRG. I think I watched most of the 2nd season. I thought we were supposed to hate everyone in that show.

I liked all of Eastbound and Down, as well as Vice Principals. Gemstones is just grating now.

I found episodes of the first two seasons of TRG to be a bit hit and miss. I liked all of E&D. I've not watched Vice Principals. Maybe, I should check that out.

Eastbound and Down was great. I haven't seen Righteous Gemstones.

Is it me, or does Danny McBride play Danny McBride in each and every role?

That's how I felt with Outer Banks.

Not that part, just the part about nobody earning my sympathy. Not sure why exactly anymore, but every single character just irked me.

I got ya. I haven't watched S3 yet, I need to get back into it. My wife (not a big fan of Outer Banks) can't remember the name so she just calls it 'boats and gold'.:)
 
Oh yeah we blitzed season 3 of Yellowjackets too.

Awesome stuff. Apart from tue Juliette Lewis / her younger self I hate every character on the show and hope they all get wiped out. :embarrassed:

Yeah, Natalie is the only good person. Having said that, I am on Team Misty. I want her to take down Shauna (who might be the most despicable protagonist I've ever watched). It says something when you're rooting for Misty Quigley, who is pretty much a deranged villain herself.
 
I started Slow Horses last night. The cast is stellar but I get the sense that it might require a few episodes before it finds its stride.
