Hilarious moments and more from the sitcom, The Office. The show started all the way back in 2005. It even has its own theme song... it's not the greatest theme song though. It's known to be the awkwardly more successful US version of the 'Ricky Gervais-led British original'.

Don't Worry! 'The Office' Isn't Leaving Netflix Anytime Soon...
There has been some panic, sadness, and even some hatred towards Netflix after the news came out that The Office won't be on Netflix forever. With that said, I have some good news. There is no need to panic yet, because isn't leaving Netflix anytime soon.

Grab all your gal pals together. We’re in for a wild birthday weekend bash! Too bad we’re probably not going to remember half of it.
Marielle SabbagPublished 5 years ago in Geeks'Shaft' (2019) - Review (Netflix)
Back in 1971, a seminal blaxploitation film was released. Gordon Parks’ Shaft, starring Richard Roundtree in the lead role as John Shaft, was a landmark film in cinema. Shaft was a character that unashamedly was black, embracing black culture and attitudes of the times against the backdrop of an America trying to find an identity after the upheaval of the sixties, a decade that saw the civil rights movement, the assassination of John F Kennedy, and the last years of the Vietnam war.
Q-ell BettonPublished 5 years ago in Geeks'The Simplest Thing Is to Complicate Everything' - Review (Netflix)
Upper-middle-class Renata (Danna Paola) has been in love with Leo (Alosian Vivancos) all of her life. Her brother, Oscar (Eduardo Tanus) is Leo’s best friend and work colleague. Renata has the raging hormones of a seventeen-year-old girl/young woman coursing through her, as well as having an extremely fertile imagination.
Q-ell BettonPublished 5 years ago in Geeks'Neo Yokio'
Alright, let’s talk Neo Yokio: For those unfamiliar, it’s a Netflix original anime about a demon-slaying aristocrat, starring none other than Jaden Smith and produced by Vampire Weekend frontman, Ezra Koenig. Some people hate it, some people love it. I for one, belong to the latter group of people. Now I understand it’s not everyone’s cup of tea — the voice acting and animation style seem to be a big turn off for critics. But while it might not have been what viewers initially expected, I think this show takes some big risks in framing its not-so-subtle message. And if you take a closer look, (passed all the demons and robot butlers), Neo Yokio is a satirical, but somewhat plausible outlook on the near-future of our hyper-commodified culture.

Ummm. I don’t know. I really don’t know what to make of Chopsticks, an Indian language film showing on Netflix. It is a sweet film and definitely an enjoyable watch. It is well directed by Sachin Yardi, who also came up with the story. The amusing screenplay is by Rahul Awate.

Disclaimer: Spoilers are unavoidable in an unfavourable critique. Because one has to explain themselves in far more detail than just the basics. I know there is a manga version. But not all people have the desire or the time to read all seven volumes. A movie, in contrast to an anime/manga lover like me, is quick stop. Especially, when Netflix allows you to watch it offline. The point, I am treating this review as an independent movie review, with no relation to the manga. This is not a movie VS manga contrast review.
