Netflix Recommendations Thread 3.0

10 years ago today Netflix dropped it's first original series Lilyhammer and introduced the world to binge watching.

Episode 1 was okay. I'll watch ep 2 because Marshawn Lynch is in it but don't know if I'll go much further.

which is funny as I thought it showed the liberal elites as the terrible people.

I felt the same. Was really looking forward to it but did not feel the same connection this season and the ending was plain stupid.

Watched it over a couple of days. Enjoyable series to be fair. Very funny at times. Will Arnett is great in it

The hunt is rediculous. Only watch if you're really looking to burn some time.

Yes they were gullible but what I found very interesting was the amount of initial outlay involved in getting the woman on his side, he was bringing them on private jets, staying in 5 star hotels, trips all over the place before the women had handed over a cent. He was likely just playing multiple victims on the go, maybe 20 at a time and flying from one to the other. The initial outlay per victim must have been huge like circa €50k each, there had to be some big risk of him accidentally bagging an AJH from the flats with nothing but a fake Canada Goose jacket to her name. The main Norwegian victim didn't really have all that much money herself, the money he scammed from her was the majority of loans she took out to cover them. Interesting enough watch all the same.

Struggling through the latest episodes of Ozark. Not sure if it's just myself that has lost interest but it feels very slow and mundane. Thoroughly enjoyed the earlier seasons.
