The episodes are in four different, random orders. Has anyone noticed this? I wonder what the point of this is.


It's probably a way to attempt showing an episode that would hook you first, and then maybe keep your hooked by scattering that type throughout.

That would really be the only benefit Netflix could have with messing with the order.

Binged a bunch of them. Really good.

Good Hunting was great. Aquila Rift as well.

Enjoyed Lucky 13 and The Witness.

Helping Hand was tense and I wonder about the practicality of that and whether that could possibly play out like that.

Tell you what...fantasy nerds can sure create some fantastic looking women.

Finished today.

Reminded me so much of MTV's Liquid Television, so a nice callback.

Watching S1 E1 now .... thanks for the recommendation OP.

ETA: Animation so far reminds me of Beowulf. And maybe The Fabulous Mr. Fox.

ETA 2: Holy cow what did I just watch? E3 ... definitely had a “The Cell” feel to it,

ETA 3: Just finished Good Hunting. This series is outstanding!

Only seen 2 so far, sonnie's edge and the 3 robots walking around the end of the world (the first 2 that showed up). I wasn't really that impressed but I keep hearing great things. I think I'm going to skip around and watch some that have been universally praised ITT and see if that picks up my interest.

I've watched about 75% so far and am greatly enjoying the ride.

I checked wiki to see which track I'm on and it matches their list so I guess A?

But this caught my eye in reception

quote:

Rubin further voiced frustration with the seemingly "endless parade of stoic supermen and the women who deceive or escape them", noting that at times it seems as though Fincher and Miller have aimed the show at a "particularly retrograde subset of genre fans


What show are they watching? Besides Hank there hasn't been a stoic protag and he was matched with the equally resigned Beth and the very cool and competent Helen and Jane.


Even Ugly Dave was plenty emotional for a garbage dwelling hillbilly.

The three robots wasn't my favorite. It was ok. Alternate Histories kinda sucked too. Ice Age was ok.

I liked, in no particular order:

The Secret War
Blind Spot
Zima Blue
Lucky 13
Beyond the Aquila Rift
Sonnie's Edge

Next level:
Helping Hand
Shape Shifters
Good Hunting
Suits
The Witness

Everything else was meh:
THree Robots
Yogurt
The Dump
Fish Night
Ice Age
Alternate Histories

I've been coming down dark hallways and from dark rooms telling my wife "You're not ready!" While my phone plays monster noises and I'm waving my arms like a Trex.

Sex has gone in weird places recently.

I've watched a handful and I like the concept for sure. The trailer was pretty cool so I gave it a shot.

The 1st episode was very legit. The other 4-5 didnt really blow me away. They were entertaining and fairly unique but I dont ever see myself doing a rewatch.

quote:

I'd rank them in this order:
Good Hunting
Beyond the Aquila Rift
Sonnie's Edge
The Secret War
Three Robots
The Witness
Zima Blue
Suits
When the Yogurt Took Over
Helping Hand
Lucky 13
Ice Age
Blind Spot
Fish Night
Sucker of Souls
The Dump
Shape-Shifters
Alternate Histories


Probably my second favorite out of the ones I watched. My wife didnt like it bc of the old dudes dick and saggy nuts flopping around
