Binged the first season of "How To Sell Drugs Online (Fast)" today.. really enjoyable!

I’ve finished all 6 seasons on Netflix twice in the Last fortnight of B99. In the last 6 months I’ve watched every episode of always sunny at least 9 or 10 times

That means on average you've watched just under 3 hours a day on average just watching it's always sunny..mad if true!

It's based on a true story too!

I stuck on Project Power bexause I generally like Joseph Gordon Levitt, and it was forgettably average. I'm not much of a fan of Jamie Foxx, which doesn't help, although Dominique Fishback puts in a good turn and Levitt is always at least watchable. The main problem with it, really, is that it's trying to do in a single film something that would be better as a series or miniseries (and would benefit from much better writing, tbh). As it is, you get something with a few entertaining notions for superpowers and a gimmick with a lot of potential that instead plays out in the most obvious and predictable way.

Personally I have higher hopes for the upcoming German superhero film, Freaks (not the 2018 film), which Netflix announced recently.

Just googled how long it would take to watch every episode. 3 days 5 hours. I have definitely watched every episode 9 or 10 times (maybe 5 for the last season). There is no way I watch it 3 hours every day so maybe my estimation of 6 months can't be right. Definitely no longer than a year. But during lockdown I definitely binged once a fortnight.

Currently half way through Brooklyn Nine nine again. I know it so well that noticing the most minor continuity errors.

Just finished the first ep myself, liked it a lot. It sets up it's main characters and basic premise very quickly and there's a good few laughs too.

Started season 2 of Dirty John, I’m guessing it’s just another woman’s story of having an abusive/controlling husband.

It’s nowhere near as good as the first season, imo.

Did you get in before a Netflix removed the lethal Weapon episode?

Insane Clown Posse for life. Did they forget about the Lethal Weapon 6 episode?

Managed 15 minutes a few months ago, couldn't take anymore

I just finished a rewatch but there's no Lethal Weapon any more

Between Two Ferns: The Movie
Spoof chat show with Zach Gafiliakis interviewing some big name actors.
I loved Zach G in Bored to Death but this was poor. Gave up halfway through.
Probably the best bit was when he asks Matthew McConaughey 'Who do you think will accidentally starve to death first, you or Christian Bale?'

Yeah both gone now. I noticed they'd only removed one before but both gone now. Season 4 Episode 3 is also gone.

Is this young adult enjoyable or could a grown man in his mid thirties enjoy it?

I only ask because the first time I saw it on the menu I skipped straight past immediately thinking it wasn't for me based on the title alone

Really depends on your attitude to these kinds of things. The main characters are teen girls and they do deal with relationships and school a bit while doing their bounty hunting. It definitely leans more to a grown up audience, I think, without being like something you'd see on HBO. I've watched 4 now and I think the trailers were a pretty good indication of what it is.
As I said, the first ep sets things up pretty quickly and it carries on in much the same style so you'd know fairly quickly if it wasn't for you.

Edit: the trailers say it's from the same team as Orange is the New Black and Glow, if that sways you either way
