I don't think that's a 1:1 conversion, though. 

I'd give it a B.

so I watched the first two episodes because the subject matter is interesting. however, they weren't very interesting, imo. I hope it gets better.

It does get better.

Season 2 starts off slow and ends strong also.

Captain Marvel.  It was ok.  I thought the first half of the movie was kind of going through the motions.  It took a long time to develop her character.  And really her character seemed a little bland.  She was all kick ass and everything, but there really wasn't any personality in it.  This movie just seemed like it was going through the motions like the early movies of Iron Man, Hulk, Thor to introduce the characters and make a backstory so that when the Avengers was introduced, it would make sense.  Oddly, I find that Capt America has the best story lines and writing for his movies.  And I thought his would be the hardest to sell.

Overall ,if you are a follower of the Marvel movies, then you will want to see it, just so that Avengers End Game will make sense.  If you aren't, you could wait for cable.

Haven't seen that one yet. Not sure it's on Netflix

Thanks for the heads up

Tin Star takes up where it left off, in the twisted minds of insane people that react to a world with no moral compass. Every violent action that takes place you can say, well, really the asshole deserved it. And that includes every character.

Ha. so true

Netflix:  The Order.  It's like a Harry Potter meets Twilight.  With kind of a messed up ending.  Never watched Twilight, but my guess is if you like the wizard and warewolf kind of stuff.  This would be of interest.  Probably not for most of you though.

[gotbeer]

Netflix:  Love Death + Robots.  I'm only 3 episodes in.  And so far it's phenomenal.  Episode 2 is the @RallyMo episode.  But they are short like 15 minute episodes, and it's an nc17 adult anime/graphic novel twilight zone mind trip.  Kind of in the Black Mirror type catches at the end.

Saw Triple Frontier on Netflix, not bad.

Good action/crime drama. I had totally forgot about the movie from when someone here linked the initial trailer quite some time ago.

I started watching this yesterday and am now about 8 episodes in.  I think the longest episodes so far have been about 15 minutes while the shortest was maybe 5 minutes.  Really enjoying the different stories and animation.

Saw Triple Frontier earlier in the week and it was okay.  I think it started off much better than it ended.
