Easy. Star Trek.

I once binge watched the reality show, "the circle" which took many days to finish because there were so many seasons. I could have played this game without being guillotined.

This is easy, I'll just watch Bojack Horseman again.

what if it has to be one you havent seen before

Awful kerning

(Kerning is spacing between letters)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 15 hours ago

Awful Kerning is novel, but I doubt it will be renewed for a second season.

I'd just rewatch Dungeon Meshi, I've been wanting to for a bit, but I can't use my in-laws' account because of Netflix's password sharing BS

[–] [email protected] 3 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Is it that hard?

I know at least 3 movies on Netflix that i would like to watch but didnt have time

[–] [email protected] 3 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

Time before what? Before you canceled?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 16 hours ago

Before the guillotine got them

[–] [email protected] 5 points 17 hours ago

Before youtubers started making 4 hours videos

Just saying, 3rd party databases are great: https://reelgood.com/

It's incredible how much more useful they are than the stupid rec algorithms.

Saw suddenly sounds good for some reason.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

Monty python's flying circus

[–] [email protected] 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I think that got removed at the start of November (from US Netflix anyway)

And now for something completely different.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 19 hours ago

Always look on the bright side of life

[–] [email protected] 12 points 22 hours ago

I Think You Should Leave. 15 minute episodes.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 22 hours ago

Good thing I don't watch too many things, so most of them are new to me.

Culinary Class Wars

It's like if Iron Chef and Squid Game had a baby and it's amazing.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (1 children)

He didn't say "new series" so we'll be rewatching DS9. Now. Yes, including Move Along Home.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 22 hours ago

Not on Netflix in my region :(

[–] [email protected] 2 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Am I the only one here that checks the new releases weekly to filter and mark the interesting stuff to see in advance?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 20 hours ago

And never watch them?

For a while, yes...

[–] [email protected] 25 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Unrealistic, from memory Jigsaw always gave challenges which the victim had at least a chance of completing.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I think they only stuck to that premise for the first one or two movies

[–] [email protected] 4 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

There's definitely at least one where they're like "you're so bad, I was always gonna kill you from the start" and it got me thinking... Why set up the whole trap and not just dump his body in the nearest ocean?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 hours ago

It depends on who built the trap. John Kramer is the original jigsaw and came up with the whole "the choice is yours" thing so his traps are always technically escapable. Amanda is the first apprentice and breaks John's rules by making traps completely impossible, she ends up in three separate games (if you count Saw 2) because John wanted her to stop. Then there's the cop who's lead killer for like three movies but I still never remember his name, he just straight-up murders people so obviously his traps aren't always winnable either. I'm not sure why he even bothers with traps. The guy from Spiral has no real connection to Jigsaw and just uses traps as a cover, but that's also a detective movie more than a Saw movie; the plot would barely change if there were no traps at all.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 18 hours ago

Yeah and it's not really a series that is concerned much with maintaining continuity considering #7 out of 10 is called the final chapter. Most people are into it for the comeuppance and mousetrap gore.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 22 hours ago

I will watch all of zhis.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (2 children)

Seen it.

Seen it.

Seen it. Love it, maybe a rewatch?

Boring.

I don't care about cake.

Maybe, but I'm not into tv dramas...

Have I died yet?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

If you like Castlevania, try DOTA Dragon's Blood.

And both Avatar series, if you somehow haven't seen them.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 21 hours ago

Did you check for your pulse? We need more info to answer that

[–] [email protected] 3 points 23 hours ago

So relatable!

I honestly don't know if I would just hit the random button and save myself or purposely not choose to be rewarded with the sweet release of death.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (1 children)

The only way I'm allowed to die is if I sacrifice myself to save another life, if I die in a freak accident, or if I get some fatal disease that I didn't cause through my own actions/inaction. No suicide or preventable deaths for me. But I do think about those options an inordinate amount

[–] [email protected] 5 points 20 hours ago

If I die without saving someone else in the process I lose a bet.

And ma didn't raise a loser.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 23 hours ago

Nothing is stopping you, go chase that dream
