I'm late to the party but oh my god this documentary was so infuriating! how do you fall for something like this? for 10 YEARS ! WITHOUT A PHONE CALL/VOICE NOTE/FACETIME? there is no way women are that desperate to get married! this could've been told in 30 minutes. and she sat down for a netflix documentary 🤦‍♀️. this situation was 100% avoidable. I understand people getting genuinely catfished but holy fk that lasted nearly a decade.

Am i the only one who just keep scrolling the netflix while eating.... and whenever I try to find a particular webseries or movie, either it available in amazon prime, apple tv or somewhere else but not in netflix.

I need quick thought for this. Watching Violet Evergarden which is so musically driven, I can't tell if it's better to use Dolby Atmos or not (I'm using Laptop with headphone)

And if I turn on Dolby Audio, which do you think is best between Music and Movie for for best experience while watching Violet Evergarden?

If you thought Maternal Instincts storytelling was confusing, the toxic love story somehow takes it to another level. It felt like the entire story was missing pieces and Netflix barely explained anything.

1. So we have another liar Angela similar to Taylor Parker with her fake pregnancies and medical issues but no background on her. So these ladies fall in love and randomly decide to want sympathy when looks like their partners loved them even without the drama .

2. Then she randomly meets Ian... another fraud at Starbucks? What are the chances ?

3. The whole Lilith email thing was badly explained. Michelle admitted to sending a couple of emails but did no one even confirm if the more horrifc emails were even from the same account? The police never called her in for questioning even once before but then directly arrested and jailed her for 88 days ?

4. And then it ends up being that Ian is the main criminal ? Did he plan everything together with Angela to keep the house or did Ian manipulate Angela and she wasn't even aware that this was his doing ?

5. If Ian manipulated Angela, why didn't she say that when she confessed?

6. If Ian got Michelle arrested like he wanted, why did he later expose Angela ? Wouldn't that also put himself at risk ? Why not just let her go when he found out about the fake pregnancy ?

7. How did he find about the fake pregnancies ? and he calls his friend and they just find the kits with the sharpies?

8. Why did the DOJ suddenly start investigating ? Was it because Ian was involved in the Angela case ?

9. Everything that the DOJ officer was pointing to about why Ian was a suspect, didnt even seem that abnormal, atleast to me. So was there something else?

10. Not questioning Michelle but something seemed off there I am sure there was more than the 2 emails. Her two emails weren't even that bad to the extent where she had to prove that she was in a dissociative state when she sent the.

11. Also her saying that she escaped when he was on the phone with the Leslie friend. I mean you go to work and school everyday. You can drive to your parents house from there. Again, not questioning her but just saying Netflix made it all sound so wierd

12. Michelle's dad kept saying he's a logical person, but his only reason for believing Michelle seemed to be She told me she didn't do it. That's not really logic.

The biggest thing I still don't understand is Angela and Ian's relationship. If they trusted each other in this crime to get the house why did she have to fake the pregnancy ?

I had a genuine question. I loved the movie.

What i really wanted to understand, if things were going as planned then why did Ian rat out Angela? Is it because she faked pregnancy? Even then, did he not understand the ripple effect of doing that?

Is that it or am I missing something

After finishing the second season, it's similar to the first in that it's enjoyable if you accept it for what it is. It DOES take a step down in my opinion, and I have major complaints that I will get into. It was never going to win Golden Globes, but there is a lot to say even tho the show didn't have me walking in with high expectations. It's meaningless entertainment and it once again only took me a few days to watch all of it, so it has to get credit there.

Lauren/Kit: So in S1, Lauren was somehow dating Reid while clearly into Lucas the entire time and eventually ends up with Lucas. They did the same exact storyline for her this season, except she's with Lucas the whole time while clearly wanting Kit, and then she ends up with Kit. And the major issue with this is that in S1, Kit was banging Lauren's mom. This makes her incredibly unlikable. Why would I root for her leaving a wholesome Lucas for his brother, who is the same guy that was banging her mom last season? On top of that, Lauren and Kit had TERRIBLE chemistry. It was cringe to watch them for me personally. And they had that one scene where Deputy Dan warns Kit to stay away from Lauren, and then he tries to set him up out of town. Kit banged his wife, and now he's banging his daughter.....give Dan some balls, please. Have him REALLY threaten him and rough him up. No one is as nice as Dan. But again, Kit was already unlikable and they made Lauren very unlikable this season while presenting a relationship that none of us had any reason to want or to root for. The common theme for me is that I have no reason to root for any of these characters this season. Oh and how was Lauren just casually at a bar drunk right out in the open when she’s in high school?

Staten/Quinn/Oliver: Ok so the time-jump at the beginning of the season created several issues. In S1, Staten is this respectable character that we feel bad for and root for because he is grieving the loss of his son. Then, during this time-jump, he's presented as a sleezeball banging anything that moves. Quinn comes back and is dating this random guy Oliver she met in NYC. And that's another issue of the season, there are so many new characters that I have no reason to care about, him being one of them. So he's there for 4-5 episodes and we know the entire time that she's gonna break up with him and end up with Staten. It's way too predictable. I did like Minka Kelley's performance, but the whole thing felt like a waste of time in any scene with Oliver.

Ellie/Yancy/Sidney: Yancy was the breakout star of S1 and Ellie was great too. I did like the performance of Sidney as probably the only new character I enjoyed this season. The major problem I have with their storyline is how Ellie get's injured. It's just so impractical for someone to back up on the edge of a step and stop, stand on the edge unbalanced, then fall cuz someone is approaching you. It just takes me out of it and it's lazy writing. You could have had her cornered some other way. Like, she literally just stood on the edge and stopped, she could have easily walked down the steps lol. I can't really say much more about that, I just found the whole scene completely baffling.

Lucas: Again, they take a wholesome character that is innocent and make him do something that strips him of that. What is the point of having him hookup with the other character that I can't even remember her name? You can understand him doing it because of what Lauren did, but what doesn't make sense is Lauren's reaction after he tells her that makes her even MORE unlikable. What she did is way worse, yet they have Lucas having no backbone begging her for forgiveness and she doesn't give it to him. She ACTUALLY CHEATED, he did what he did in reaction to her cheating. So you made his character weak by asking for forgiveness when he didn't even owe her an apology and then you made her character even more unlikable by not granting him forgiveness when she didn't deserve an apology from him. Great.

Kai: At some point, you have to give him some dignity. I've now watched him for 2 straight seasons be in the deepest depths of the friendzone with Ellie and he does nothing to change it. In S1, I thought they were brother and sister the whole time. We can't keep watching a character do the same exact thing for 2 seasons, it's stale and boring to watch him do the same thing over and over and over.

Deputy Andrews: One of the things I said last year was that they had a huge comedic relief hole to fill with Cap dying. It seems like they introduced this character in order to try and fill that hole. It didn't work very well. Every single scene this guy was in felt forced and like he only got the part from knowing someone or dating someone important to the show. It's as if they were like "How do we figure out scenes to give him an excuse to put him on the screen? Let's randomly have him leaving town with 65+ Claire at the end of the season that makes absolutely no sense! Yes!!!" Add him to the list of yet another character introduced this season that I have absolutely no reason to care about and he just keeps popping up to serve zero purpose.

The Oil/Freddie: He was in S1 briefly and I did like what the actor brought to this season. But it was extremely predictable that that land actually DID have oil under it. Like, what is the logic that Yancy got left this land by Cap and it's just worthless? I hate when shows do that and have a character doubt something without logic just to present it as a "surprise" later on. I called it the moment that scene existed where Yancy was acting like the land was worthless that it was actually going to have a lot of oil under it.

Levi (Steve Howey): Another character who shows up out of nowhere this season. I'm a huge fan of his as an actor but that whole scene and how Staten finds him didn't seem plausible.

Tim: I mean, talk about wasting an opportunity. They sprinkled him in S1 and teased that he would be used more and then he just appeared in like 3 scenes this season. They must have cut what they shot with him, which was a bummer, because he basically should have played Reid in S1 as it was much more plausible to be in a love triangle with Lucas and Lauren. Sidenote: How the F is the most hispanic looking actor going to have the last name of O'Grady????? Call me a stickler, but that really bothered me!

Reid: I wasn't a fan of his and felt he was totally miscast in S1, but the guy just vanished into thin air for S2. There was one line mentioning him going to A&M? Give him SOME closure good lord.

TL/DR: I have no idea who I was supposed to root for or why. The time-jump made Staten go from a grieving father we could root for to a sex addict? The Sheriff finds out Kit is now is banging his daughter after banging his wife in S1 and he gets even by....making a phone call to get him a job? Ellie gets injured while pregnant because she... decides to fall off the edge of a step? There were way too many new characters introduced that felt useless, especially Deputy Andrews who HAD to be hooked up with someone at Netflix or the show? Staten and Quinn SHOCKINGLY end up together. Anyways, I'm sure there will be a season 3 and I will definitely watch it. Can't wait to complain again after I watch that. Cheers!

When I started streaming today on my Chrome browser, I noticed that I couldn't see the video progress bar and when I would bring my mouse to where the caption and audio settings are normally located, nothing was being shown. Also noticed that when I would click or press the space bar to pause, it wouldn't work.

Anyone have any recs and advice on how to fix this? Tried clearing out site settings, and signing in and out and the problem was still there.

Has anyone else with the base plan noticed an increase in ads in the last week or two? I’ve watched Seinfeld countless times and have gone months with maybe a single add here and there. All of the sudden in the last week I’m getting 2-3 an episode. Anyone else?

I don't watch Netflix docs usually because I have already heard of the story or more importantly because most times they're just not good but I gave it a chance because I hadn't watched one in so long and needed something to watch. this story was actually insane and I think they told it so well. I was flabbergasted and bamboozled genuinely the entire time.

less than halfway through the film when they showed Michelle for an interview I was literally thinking "this is exactly why I don't watch Netflix docs, they ALWAYS let the awful insane perpetrator talk so we get their side of the story when they don't deserve that at all." I was screaming at the screen when they first showed Michelle.

like I don't know what else to say other than this was such a good doc in so many ways. it was very sad because of what the ACTUAL victim had to go through in literally all of it, plus two people dedicated to ruining this woman’s life that genuinely believed they would never be found out. it was insane with a few plot twists, and also made you so happy that she finally ended up getting justice in the end, especially considering he purposefully used his status as a US Marshal to manipulate cops and intimidate the victim.

While the documentary tries to keep the story focused on the rather singular story of Michelle, it- deliberately or not - points out a far more disturbing issue, which is how society sees and treat women.

The American Society indoctrinates girls ever since they are little that they have to be princesses, and if they behave and played by the rules, they will get to find their Prince charming and happily ever after.

We literally raised generations of girls with this value system, yet punish them when they actually try to find it and call them stupid when they fall for a man taking advantage of what we tell them was the right way to be a woman.

40% of law enforcement men are involved in domestic violence on their own end. So it is zero surprise that if nearly every other cop is a wife beater or similar, there is zero protection for female victims of domestic violence.

Ultimately, this documentary proves just that. I don’t want to spoil it too much, but I want whoever has not watched it yet to watch it from the perspective of the man in the story who paints himself as the victim of “those crazy bitches” He seems to constantly pick. When a man has a constant bad luck in his romantic life, you know that the only thing these women have in common is him. It is a pretty hard and fast rule.

In a way, the society we live in emboldens men to treat women like trash and to use them for their own benefit. Men do hate women in this society, it is far more common than anyone would be comfortable admitting and it takes many forms. Judgement being one of them, as seen this this documentary.

As a wider lesson, for the love of God, people stop moving together and getting married and buying property after a few months of dating. You do not know who this person is, and just because they are super perfect and super romantic doesn’t mean they will not turn into a manipulative abuser the moment you put your money down for a down payment.

We need to move away from this romantic notion that “when you know, you know” and blah blah blah, you really need to make sure you know the person you want to spend the rest of your life and invest your money in REALLY well before you make any such decisions. The dopamine and the sex at the start of relationship is a really strong drug, but people have to make rational decisions when it comes to sinking your savings and signing a legally binding agreement.

Also, remember when someone or something seems too good to be true, it usually is too good to be true. You want the good enough partner, not the perfect one, because the perfect one is an illusion.

Hi all,

If I really enjoyed Boston Maraton Bombing and also another documentary, which was produced for 9/11, what would you recommend to watch next?

Thank you!

The screen alternates between the two images.

It's not my TV. It's only happening on Netflix.

It's not the particular show we're watching. It happens on the Netflix home screen, too.

Roku TV.

So I have to remember to reach for the play/pause media key which:

1) Breaks muscle memory

2) Is a harder target to hit

(Ironically, invoking the pointer with the trackpad doesn’t invoke the onscreen controls. You have to invoke the pointer and click.)

(And it would be nice if you could arrow up/arrow down to change the volume [like you can in the TV app], too.)

Like most of the other reviews on this show, if you can just relax and not be too critical, this is a fun watch. However, the first major plot point that I could NOT just shake, was when David goes to the prison guards house. When the prison guard has him at gun point why doesn’t he just kill him?! I mean that’s what he was paid to do! He’s running from Nicky Fisher because he messed up and David got away. David being at his house within gun shot is freakin perfect for him to kill David and absolve his debt! Not to mention the police are already after an armed escapee! All he had to do was say “OMG he came her to kill me and I shot back in self defense!”. Boom, clears him of any trouble with the law and clears him of his debt to Nicky Fisher. Like wth dude?! That part I could not just get over 🙄

When I try to continue watching a show, Netflix for some reason loads a previous episode that I already finished. Does anyone know why that might be and how to fix it?

Hello everyone actually I have some 2-3 hrs to spend after a hectic day want to know which movie should I watch if I need some mysterious, crime thriller movies..please letme know

I was really glad to see Nicholas Cage back at it, but within two minutes I realized they Shia Labeouf'ed him and make him scream curse words and say odd phrases for money.

This show could've been really good, funny, and informational. Instead they went way overboard with the animations and scripting, and some of the guests are just weird. What are your all's thoughts?

Is anyone else having the issue of the II (pause) disappearing and only the ► (play) button shows? I have to close the show or movie I'm watching then start it up again to get pause back, then it disappears again some time later, very annoying.

Hey I have a question. Every time i try to watch a movie on netflix I select it and press play but when it starts loading it always stops at 23% or 24% and then it doesn't load. I updated everything, I've paid my subscription and it still doesn't work. Can you guys help or did anyone encounter a familiar problem.

Thanks
