Best of Netflix
Whether you're binge watching or Netflix and Chilling, hats off to the digital streaming behemoth that never ceases to entertain.
My Review of "Desperados"
Desperados kind of came out quietly on Netflix. That's the case with a lot of Netflix exclusives especially during the pandemic. I barely heard any press on it but luckily enough it was suggested by Netflix to me. It kind of has the same feel as the movie The Wrong Missy even though the movies are pretty different from one another.
Brian AnonymousPublished 4 years ago in Geeks‘The Old Guard’ Kicks Ass and Should Make Names
Netflix’s record with original Hollywood action movies is patchy at best. When the so-so Extraction is among the finer examples of their big-name blockbusters, there’s something not working. With The Old Guard, though, they might hopefully have found a game-changer. It’s everything that previous A-lister action vehicle 6 Underground wasn’t. Where that was incoherent, chaotic, and offensively dumb, The Old Guard is focused, sharp, and surprisingly intelligent.
MovieBabblePublished 4 years ago in GeeksOzark - An Outstanding TV Series on Netflix
I have binge-watched three seasons of Ozark on Netflix which I wholeheartedly recommend. It’s one of those tv shows that cannot be missed. It has a great cast who have made the show into a top-notch series.
Denise LarkinPublished 4 years ago in GeeksThe Best Fantasy Shows on Netflix
The Witcher The Witcher is an absolute blast and a half. The fantasy series is indeed very fantasy—it’s more Lord of the Rings than Game of Thrones—but it also doesn’t take itself too seriously and whole-heartedly embraces all aspects of fantasy storytelling and gaming, including fun side-quests, POV battles, and even a bard who follows Henry Cavill’s titular human/creature hybrid around singing songs about his glories. The show’s first season follows three stories destined to converge: Cavill’s Witcher is a muscle-for-hire monster hunter who begins to question why so many princesses have been turning into creatures; Yennefer of Vengerberg (Anya Chalotra) is a powerful sorceress in training who struggles to keep her emotions in check; and princess Ciri (Freya Allan) is on the run after the sacking of her city, but harbors secrets of her own. Steeped in lore and world building but always engaging, The Witcher is a perfect kind of binge-viewing show.

Umbrella Academy For those fatigued by the current glut of superhero TV shows and/or movies, The Umbrella Academy is the tonic you need. Steve Blackman and Jeremy Slater’s Netflix series, based on the Dark Horse comics by Gerard Way, immediately immerses you in this strange world and establishes that it is playing by its own rules. It’s not always clear what those rules are, but it doesn’t matter because the journey is so much fun.
Netflix BuzzPublished 4 years ago in GeeksMy first thoughts on Ju On Origins Netflix show
Ju On Origins is a new show on Netflix. It’s of course based on the The Grudge movies. But you it’s not what I expected. The Grudge has a lot of jump scares right away. This show Ju On Origins gets under your skin in your head. And I will explain to you why later. But for now I want to point that the story of Ju On Origins is actually based on a true story. Which just made that house in The Grudge a million times scarier. I thought this was all fiction when I saw it years ago.
The Sinister PenPublished 4 years ago in GeeksAn Anime Review of 'Japan Sinks 2020'
Japan Sinks 2020 is an updated adaptation of the 1973 novel by Komatsu Sakyo. The series was produced by Science SARU and is directed by the fantastic Yuasa Masaaki. The story revolves around a family that is trying to survive the sinking of Japan. While it has the outline of a simple disaster movie in the view of the likes of 2012, the events of this show hits harder, and shows the best and worst of humanity. The final episode of the show is about on par with an episode of Violet Evergarden when it comes to the emotional factor.
Dead to Me - Another Interesting TV Show on Netflix
I have enjoyed watching Dead to Me on Netflix. I have watched 2 seasons of Dead to Me. It's an enjoyable tv show and very entertaining. It pulled me in right from the start so I binged watched this show like crazy.
Denise LarkinPublished 4 years ago in GeeksNetflix Potential: Purgatori
Back in February I did a speculative article on a possible Netflix series based on the CHAOS! Comics character of Lady Death. I had so much fun with that one that I wanted to do another entry and make Netflix Potential another big project. The only problem was that I couldn't decide where to start; until I realized that I already had the next entry selected.

The Old Guard If you loved Netflix’s Chris Hemsworth action vehicle Extraction and are in the mood for some more A-list ass-kicking, set your sights on The Old Guard. Love & Basketball and Beyond the Lights the lights filmmaker Gina Prince-Bythewood takes the sun-drenched mercenary riff and gives it an epic sci-fi spin with the story of a team of immortal soldiers of fortune who have shaped the course of history. The ensemble is led by Charlize Theron, who we know damn well can handle an intense action scene, and the trailer legit slaps. Netflix’s original action movies have been a mixed bag so far, some slight but entertaining a la Extraction, some heavy but thoughtful a la Triple Frontier, but in Collider’s official review, Matt Goldberg praised The Old Guard as Netflix’s best original action movie yet, which isn’t quite a surprise with a filmmaker as skilled as Prince-Bythewood at the helm, but it sure is exciting.
Little Women (2019) Film Review
Greta Gerwig’s 2019 adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women is nothing short of excellent. Known for the success of her original film Lady Bird (2017), Gerwig wrote and directed the adaptation of the childhood classic with a star-studded cast including Saoirse Ronan, Timothée Chalamet, Emma Watson and Meryl Streep (absolute queen). With such an incredible cast and talented writer/director, I shouldn’t have been surprised at the brilliance of Little Women, and yet it still blew me away.
Brooke Le BretonPublished 4 years ago in GeeksI Try To Watch Every Single Netflix Original 2: The Sequel
Note: I write all of my notes while I am watching the show/movie itself or right afterwards so my notes range from being super short to super long depending on if there were points that I thought were worthy to write about. Here are all of my honest and smart ass opinions on what I’ve seen so far. Some might contain spoilers, I ramble a lot, and I am in no way a writer. Idk man, enjoy!
