There is alot of easter eggs in the movie for fans of HK gangster movies from the 90s (there is a mahjong scene in one of the episodes with all four actors that have ever played mountain chicken in Young and Dangerous movies and spin offs)

Bonus for us car guys. Mint Classic 90s cars

Pretty neat thats its even on Netflix.


It's too bad the CCTVB Pro China Stance ruined the ending for me

Thanks for the recommendation, threezero, I'm enjoying the series so far. Where did they find all of those cell phones from the 90s?

good recommendation, decided to try good girls, got hooked after episode 1, only have 2 episodes left.

well you know who the boss is now in hong kong. pro china doesn't bother me. Everything that was portray about the english corruption and coverup is actually base on true stories.

When the english was ruling hong kong, you don't see much media showing their own corruption etc, instead there was alot of anti china shit.

Nobody alive in hong kong right now remember how it was when the english took over, there was massive resistance to the new ruler and and wanting to stay under Chinese jurisdiction.

Couple generation of brainwash later, same thing is happening to the current generation resisting their new master or rather their original master. You think Chinese are corrupt, the English are not that far off.

anyways you can enjoy this without getting political. This series is not very well receive in HK because of the same mentality. I am just glad season 2 is confirm go ahead

Not to turn this into a political thread, but you aren't equating 1800's colonialism with modern day rule are you?

I mean if you're completely detached from the situation, I guess it's easy to just say what you're saying. In that case, you can ignore the bullshit propaganda and just enjoy the show.

Don't try to find a way to justify how others feel about it though, by comparing it to how the british did things 200 years ago

I appreciate the warning by Budong. Ip Man was already ruined for me, I don't want to go through that again, enjoying a show only to be completely shit on by propaganda. Not only did they rewrite his history (and he is an important figure in Hong Kong history), they completely reversed it, trying to make him look like a pro-PRC communist rather than emigrating to escape from them after the civil war

Because you can't make a truly local Hong Kong movie anymore. It ALL has to go through China. And Western movies are becoming the same, at least the mainstream ones. Transformers were the first really bad early examples of propaganda/shitty actor insertion.

I'm a big fan of Roman history so seeing Roman Empire's 2 season mini-series is a no brainer.

https://www.netflix.com/title/80096545

First season chronicles the reign of Commodus, the emperor whose rule marked the beginning of Rome's fall.

The second season (premiered a earlier this week) is based on Julius Caesar and the fall of the Roman Republic.

Disenchanted was pretty good. Maybe not quite as good as The Simpsons and Futurama, but a solid 5-hour binge.

Kath and Kim 9/10


It's an Australian comedy from 15 years ago. The first episode had us hooked, and we burned through the series in a day. We're on our 3rd run through it, now.

Not Netflix but Amazon has an amazing series. If you are into action, mystery and crime-stopping. This may be for you.

No one talking about Daredevil Season 3?

I thought it was great! It had a few flaws (Karen episode and last episode felt a bit rushed), but over all, I thought it was very very entertaining.

I liked it enough that I binged 4 episodes on Friday, 8 episodes on Saturday (yikes), and finished it off on Sunday.

I am really hoping they don't cancel Daredevil like they did with Luke Cage and Iron Fist.

Super sad they cancelled Luke Cage... just finished the first season... it's my Saturday "watch this while I jog for 1 hour on the treadmill" show, makes the time pass so easily and really well done IMO.

Binged on Designated Survivor... It's starring Kiefer Sutherland and it's so like 24...but this time he's the potus.
Pretty good.
Best part (or bad for some cuz it's a long binge) is that there's about 20 episodes per season. It's in season 2 and 3 got announced so 40ish episodes to binge on

Oh I binged jack Ryan on drop day lol waited ever since they announced it
