mikemack8 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I started watching Fool Me Once last night - it's literally exactly the same as every other Harlan Coben series they've shown on Netflix I'll probably still work through it - should be an easy binge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'll be next up for me after we finish season 2 of Reacher on Prime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikemack8 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Harlan Coben is an author and a ton of his books have been made into series on a variety of streaming platforms - mostly Netflix but there was one on Prime recently too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the others are in another language so I passed on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Omega Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 We watched the 1st episode of Fool me Once last night. It is definitely a Harlan Cobin show. The lead girl is smoking hot though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawkins4prez Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Society of the Snow is a huge thumbs up! I was a big fan of Alive! the novel and the 90's movie was good so I didn't see a need for another version. Whoah was I wrong, having latino actors in Uruguayan accents + the better effects and cinemetography of the day + the twist of of using a different narrator. It's a terrific movie, definite must watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RPeeteRules Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Anyone watch The Trust on Netflix? The first four episodes are out. The first two episodes make most of the cast very unlikable and it was very tough to watch. I finally got to the third episode and it got better. I don’t recommend it unless you really want to watch an unlikable cast complain the first two episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did still like the show though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOTW Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I started watching Loudermilk, Ron Livingston as a snarky alcoholic leading an AA support group. It's just ok, not sure I'll stay with it. It has a mix of pseudo-edgy cable TV content (sex and drugs jokes), network TV sitcom tropes (constantly bumping into the 1 attractive neighbor next door) and attempts at indie movie vibes (he's a music snob who used to write for Rolling Stone, basically he's John Cusack in High Fidelity). I'm almost done with season 1 and they've gone away from the main characters to focus on side characters that are odd and way too unrealistic. One guy's sponsor is constantly stalking him at his work, spying outside his apartment window, etc. Does he not work? It's like a bad YouTube skit. They had an opportunity to show more compelling stories of these addicts and play it for comedy but they're going too absurd, the over the top ridiculousness takes you out of it. I hope it gets back to the main character dealing with his addiction and the pressure of helping others that comes out as sarcasm and comedy, but might give up if it doesn't get better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There aren’t many shows/movies that my wife and I can watch together but anything by this Coben knob seems to do the trick. I really liked Safe with Dexter. Thought that show was great. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've all been pretty good. My favorite of his was The Five, but it's not on Netflix anymore. All of his stuff is very formulaic though - every episode ends with just a LITTLE more info leaked out, and they make you think about half a dozen people are the "bad guy" until it's all over 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
