The End of the F****** World
 
Anyone else catch this new show on Netflix ? Read about it and decided to check it out, ended up bingeing all 8 (very short) episodes.
Definitely different (very dark at times and funny at times) and leaves one wondering how they could do a season 2?

Just tuned into it last night...enjoyed it

drkshdw 01-11-2018 06:39 AM

In the middle of it now. On episode 6 I think. So far, so good. Fun little program to fill the time. Definitely different indeed but in a good way.

AFC-911 01-11-2018 07:39 AM

Those two have great chemistry.

It's dark, but has some really funny stuff. I liked it a lot. I hope they get a S2.

flatbutt 01-11-2018 08:06 AM

Netflix is doing some great stuff. I just started Shameless. WH Macy really knows how to play the loser.

As for doing follow ups, some things just don't need a Season 2, Godless is a perfect example.

Agreed. Shameless has become my favorite on Netflix. I watch it at least once a day and have gone through all 7 seasons at least 3 times. It only gets better as the series goes on. Just waiting on them to release all the episodes of season 8 before I sign up for the week of free Showtime to binge that one.

Shameless is an excellent show.

masraum 01-11-2018 10:27 AM

I saw the preview, looked odd (not a bad thing). I haven't queued it up.

And who wouldn't want a poster of Fiona in the swimming pool? Come on you were all thinking it

AFC-911 01-11-2018 11:59 AM

I find Alyssa to be hilarious. Her & James have good chemistry.

Not to spoil anything but if you just started Shameless you have no idea re: the depths of depravity Frank Gallagher is capable of diving into and talk about a dysfunctional family ??... WH Macy is truly great in that part but the whole cast is also.

AFC-911 01-11-2018 01:09 PM

Since we're just gonna thread drift, I wish they'd kill off Frank. I guess his storyline this season is alright (St. Francis), but I haven't liked him since the Bianca episodes.

Another good Netflix production to check out is Peaky Blinders.

Did you know: Netflix is the world's 10th-largest internet company by revenue. wikipedia.org

I agree. I thought it was a little kid show (from the title) until my college age son clued me in. We binged watched over the holiday.

I remember when Blockbuster (remember them?) had a chance to buy Netflix for pennies years ago... they passed... said it would never catch on... people wanted to go to a brick and mortar.

vash 01-12-2018 09:47 AM

my friend works for Netflix..

he literally poops gold.

Crowbob 01-12-2018 09:51 AM

Agree. Wait till you see the episode where they visit the embassy or home of the Russian.

End of the F.... World is good. Peaky Blinders very good.
We have been watching Vikings all along - excellent. Should record it and then watch, the commercials almost kill the experience. I guess that goes for any show at this point.

Dansvan 01-14-2018 09:04 AM

Atypical is another good Netflix show.

That may be the case, but that's OK. I want to know what he's eating so I can poop gold too!!

86 ssinit 01-14-2018 11:01 AM

Of course stranger things. But also liked mindhunters.

hcoles 01-14-2018 04:22 PM

I also like Endeavor. There are 4 seasons. Season 5 is filming now or soon.

This thread bumped me to watch end of the f-n world. Enjoyed. Thanks for the other references.

74-911 01-14-2018 07:33 PM

As this thread is kind of wandering re: Netflix:

Black Mirror, Season 3, Episode 3 "Shut Up and Dance" is close enough to reality to be disturbing and the kid in "The End of The F****** World" is the main character in this one.

Black Mirror is sort of Twilight Zone for todays technological social media world. You can watch the episodes at will as they follow no story line or pattern.

Loving the soundtrack as much as the show itself!

Binge watched it last night as it was only 8 20 minute shows. I found both actors annoying at first, but it ramped up towards the end. I enjoyed it.

86 ssinit 01-15-2018 07:33 PM

Nope waited for it to get good never did. Couldn’t imagine a season 2.

Matt Smith 01-15-2018 11:18 PM

Yup, it was good from the beginning. No need for a sequel as the story has a beginning, middle and ending- all beautifully executed, including that nasty guy in the middle.

You're correct, his character is quickly becoming impossible to accept no matter how much I suspend disbelief. I do wonder if such families do indeed exist. Man the whole family is screwed up. Hiding bodies, stealing SS checks, fake wills,hit & run, anything goes. The writers have some deeply dark ideas.

Deschodt 01-16-2018 07:58 AM

Peaky blinders, Godless, and recently (if you can take another language and subtitles) La casa de papel - a spanish series on a heist of the Mint... It's really good too...

AFC-911 01-21-2018 03:59 AM

Been watching the show Love. I hate how Paul Rust's nose is the same size as Gillian Jacob's face. It's so distracting.

Plus he's not the greatest actor. I feel like he should've casted someone other than himself.

With respect to Black Mirror there are only about two episodes that I did not find intriguing.

You will not come away with a WALL-E good feeling but you will find the ride interesting/unique.

My thoughts also. I also think a couple of the episodes could have been cut to 1/2 hour and not really lost anything re: the story line.
