Netflix "Watch Instantly"

Netflix "Watch Instantly"

I just recently rejoined Netflix and was pleased to see they have added a "Watch Instantly" feature where you can stream a movie over the internet. The selection of movies/shows is subpar, but it's free baby! Well, free as in no extra charge. You can watch 1 hour for every dollar/month your subscription is and it doesn't affect your queued/shipped movies at all. Minuses are that you have to be running Windows and Internet Explorer, but the quality is great! I have a garbage laptop, but it looks the same as a DVD to me and it hasn't skipped/paused/hiccuped once so far.

I don’t know who produced it during its original run but I don’t think it was Netflix. That gives it some hope. Now if someone could just save Wayne lol

Hahah. It wasn't Netflix, but I was saying I hope Netflix produces another season, since they purchased the rights. Like you said, that gives it some hope. The network that did produce it went under in January, 2020. It was called the Audience Network and had been a network with a few spin offs under DirecTV.

It's was ok.

Loudermilk is like a sober Hank Moody but less charming and likeable.

I should say, I think Loudermilk's character was mostly meh. But I much enjoyed the supporting cast. My opinion is that the writers intended it that way.


I watched American Nightmare, and everyone seems to be rightfully angry at law enforcement. But holy ****, **** the media too.

I meant what they did with Cobra Kai. That was YouTube, as was Wayne. Netflix saved Cobra Kai, has the chance to save Loudermilk, and should save Wayne. I think they bought it but it might’ve been another company.


Watched American Nightmare as well. Really interesting.

Anyone watch Boy Swallows Universe on Netflix? 7 episode Aussie coming of age crime comedy? They had me at Aussie. It’s getting great viewer reviews so I’m going to watch.

I am on episode 6 I think, and am still swinging between love it and must-cringe vibes...


So yeah… Obliterated is one of the worst things I’ve ever seen…. I mean… I’m gonna watch it and I’m gonna hate every second of it….


appreciate all the spoiler usage, you guys are

watched American Nightmare also

very strange story 😃

lots of questions they didnt answer though, and didn't even follow up on them
1. Why/how was the ex GF involved
2. The FBI agent dated his ex , and no follow up on this either.
3. They said there was more involved but only one guy arrested
sure i had more questions too but cant remember.


Liking Griselda two episodes in, but I’m pretty much into all the Narcos-type content.


Griselda was ok, but treated her like too much of a woman doing her best in a man's world than the psychopathic murderer she was.

Gotta get that misogyny pop culture credit...

I don't think she was involved. My guess is that Muller had become fixated on the ex-girlfriend for whatever reason and that she was the target for abduction and rape.

2. The FBI agent dated his ex , and no follow up on this either.

It felt like this fact was mentioned solely to explain why the FBI and Vallejo police immediately jumped to the conclusion that Quinn and Huskins were not credible.

3. They said there was more involved but only one guy arrested

I know that Quinn and Huskins thought there was more than one person involved, but I'm guessing that Muller was just trying to make it seem that way. Muller was highly disturbed and doesn't seem like someone who is likely to have been working with accomplices. I listened to a podcast about this abduction. They eventually found videos of the rapes on Muller's computer, as well as a video of Muller installing the video camera in the way that Quinn described. I assume that the videos never captured anyone other than Muller and the victims.

sure i had more questions too but cant remember.

Good show. Really enjoyed it. Wasn’t close to NARCOS level, still good entertainment nevertheless. Last 2 episodes weren’t so good.

Sofia was average. Overacting on many occasions, couldn’t pull off intense scenes like veteran great actors.


by Rococo P

I had some thoughts:

Agree, it seems very unlikely Muller had accomplises he typifies the ultimate loner and is a master manipulator who convinced both victims that others were working with him

The FBI and ex-GF connection is very strange , could just be a coincidence or something very shady going on

Fascinating documentary well worth watching.


Griselda, pretty wild story. I just wish I knew what really happened compared to what was shown. Apparently her one living son has written a book. But how would he know all the facts? But I thought Vergara did a good job showing all the fear, paranoia and insanity that comes when you are the head of a major drug operation.


Feud: Capote Vs The Swans on FX/Hulu Wednesday. It's Ryan Murphy and a bunch of stars, should be good.

Mr. & Mrs. Smith with Donald Glover on Friday

Final season of Curb Your Enthusiasm on Sunday.

Feb. 8th new seasons of Tokyo Vice and Halo, I need to catch up on a few episodes still from season 1's.


first one looks good, second one reminds me of this


by parisron P


Feb. 8th new seasons of Tokyo Vice.

Thanks for the reminder. This shows is well rounded. The visuals are great. The performance are awesome. And there are multiple story lines that all get enough treatment to be fully fleshed out and interesting.

I have no idea how he became as successful as he did. The guy isn't funny. Some charisma, but not funny.


yeah i don't get it either, he ruined the daily show for me

worst part of watching that is hearing the audience laugh at him pantomiming action or making bond soundtrack noises, not even jokes nor funny


No strong opinion on his comedy, but his book Born a Crime is very good and funny. He’s led an interesting life.


Trevor Noah is one of the least funny people I’ve ever heard

Agreed. Thought the strikes might kill it, so we were very happy to hear it’s coming back.


Wayne definitely needs a season 2. I think Amazon owns it now.

THATS who bought it… I thought it was Netflix, but yes. Of all cancelled after 1 season shows I want to have a 2nd season, it’s right up there with Terriers.
