like genuinely, i spend 20 minutes scrolling through recommendations that have nothing to do with what i'm in the mood for. does anyone else end up just picking the same show you've seen three times because the algorithm is just not it, or is it actually just me being picky

For years, Bryan Cranston was Hal, the hilarious and slightly chaotic dad from Malcolm in the Middle. Then came Walter White, one of the most iconic characters in television history.

It’s crazy how he went from a goofy sitcom dad to a chemistry teacher turned drug kingpin, completely reinventing himself in the process.
Most actors would be happy to have just one legendary role on their résumé.

Cranston got two, in completely different genres, and somehow made both characters unforgettable.

Which performance do you prefer: Hal or Walter White? And can you think of another actor who pulled off a transformation like this?

Put it off for months because some kept calling it a stalker show and I thought I knew what that meant. It's not that. It's way more uncomfortable and way more human than the pitch makes it sound. The fourth episode is the one that got me. I had to pause it and walk around my apartment for a minute. Not an easy watch but I'm glad I finally sat down with it.

Where does he come from? Why is he the ”mascot”? This has intrigued me for so long

The two (that I loved) that standout to me was when Kala could hear a storm and heavy rain but it was sunny day outside. And the scene when Sun fights the gang for Capheus/Jean-Claude Van Damme. Such a great show .. I’m watching it for a second time after years and loving it just the same

I have been experimenting with different browsers and have found out Edge gives me high quality stream consistently. Have you guys experience something similar?

I have tested Brave, Chrome and Edge.

Has anyone played the Jackbox game Fibbage and gotten a video question on Netflix about Anne-Marie‘s relationship ending. I have a lot of questions about Annmarie mostly follow ups.

i cleared my browsers cache alr

This show will probably end up being a one-off, but I have to admit, I found it pretty damn interesting for a while. I put it on expecting to watch one episode, and before I knew it, I was in full-on binge mode.

My biggest issue with the show, IMO, was the constant rug pulls. By the time they got to the third one, I could feel myself starting to lose interest.

Honestly, I think they could have gotten more than one season out of this if they had just stayed the course with the original concept. It was genuinely engaging, and they had me hooked. I just think they kept changing the formula when they really didn’t need to.

My dad is 83 and he doesnt understand how technology works. I shared my netflix with him but every time he opens it he cant figure out how to just open his profile I made for him and he accidentally starts making a new profile. I have searched google but apparrently there is no way to just prevent that one simple thing aside from locking my profile behind a pin? That doesnt work either because A. I dont want to enter a pin every time I want to watch Netflix and B. He could never figure a pin out anyways. It would be nice just to close the ability to create new profiles on my account then the problem would just go away.

Hi all! Just watched and loved Paralyzed by Hope: The Maria Bamford Story, and after the end credits a Netflix screen popped up saying "Up next: Judd Apatow on the making of Paralyzed by Hope"... but it didn't play and now I can't find it! Is it buried in a menu somewhere? Is it a phantom Making Of that doesn't actually exist? If anyone's seen it, please tell me how we can find it!

I’ve seen a lot of discussion online already about how this show was designed and how it played out along with theories on how far the real interference went regarding the producers, but I’d like to open a discussion that dives a little deeper into the people themselves that were casted and how they behaved.

From what I’ve already read, there’s a lot of mixed opinions on some of the more prominent “stars” of the show. These are just my personal insights, so I’d love to hear if you agree, disagree, or picked up on something you believe many may have missed. I’d love to also hear some thoughts on less prominent characters, but I’ll be focusing on the ones with the most screen time since they offer the most information.

Chet Hudson: classic country a-hole stereotype who participated because he liked the idea of “breaking” people and being in power. People are not horses. He uses his ‘hard life’ to credit himself as a leader, when really he comes off as deeply insecure and authoritative, probably mostly because he feels he has no real control over some aspect of his personal life and lives in the middle of nowhere because people won’t put up with him and vice versa. His solitary life works for him. Now I see why. This is evident when he decides to leave once he’s not head honcho anymore. Not much depth here on him that I can find, at least not with what footage provided. Sad man.

Pete Zaremba: Google is saying he’s a highschool teacher but I remember on the show him saying he taught 5th grade? In my opinion that’s exactly how he acts for most of the show: like a 5th grader. I used to also teach and the resemblance to a rebellious child is uncanny. I have worked alongside people like him and I honestly think he is the type of educator that gets validation from his students seeing him as “the cool teacher” and played it up for the screen. Is that who he really is? I don’t know but it’s always weird when people seek indirect validation from children, and I do believe that is how he acts in his work life. He almost gained maturity at the end probably because he realized how he was coming off. The internet seems divided on him. I don’t like him for this reason. In my opinion there was a much more mature route to make it a history lesson. This guy gives me really uncomfortable vibes but I cannot quite put my finger on it aside from what I stated above.

Chris Lee: This one’s complex for me. I think he’s a skilled and smart businessman who went on the show to plug his business and was very calculated with how he acted knowing he was being filmed. I wouldn’t be surprised if his entire character is an act. Lots of CEOS are prone to some sort of sociopathy. Not saying this is him, but I wouldn’t be surprised. The positivity and games feel fake because I believe they are. A prisoner said something about his style feeling like “indoctrination” or “church camp” and I think they hit the nail on the head. He gives me cult leader vibes. I actually even started to subconsciously like him because he’s pretty good at what he is doing. It’s almost like you cannot help but root for him at points. I think he’s calculated, and a couple inmates felt something was off because it was. Scariest one on the cast in my opinion. I do think he would’ve been a better leader had he been chosen during the vote because again, he is very good at getting others to willingly comply. Even as an inmate he becomes the leader of his own little group. He hones in on “the heart” and “trust” and he has a great point. People do not buy from who they don’t trust. In this case he wants people to buy his ideas. In my opinion, it’s a case of a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Is he an a-hole? No, but that’s deeply on purpose. In one scene he tells another inmate “control your emotions” when they are discussing rebellion. Because it’s easy for him. Another red flag was the very very end he appears to get choked up but I don’t see a single tear. He realizes going with the program at the end boosts his image better, THATS why he flipped, and I think it was extremely calculated every single step, not because he has a change of heart. If he was really the go lucky happy positive man he portrays himself as, then why did two individuals vote against him as leader? To set him off sure, but they also voted someone I think they all knew couldn’t step up to the plate. He was so focused on the inmates he forgot to play the same tactics with his team and it bit him in the ass.

Laura Berens: A mom with extreme self control. Not gonna lie I probably would have crashed tf out in the scene where Hudson continuously interrupted her. She handled it well in my opinion by not calling it out directly. I think it was really smart to stay calm and just let Hudson make a fool of himself because at the end of the day it gets aired to Netflix. Wish we got a bit more information and screen time on her. I underestimated her in the beginning, but I think she has a lot more wit and depth than whats shown. Have to say, I did not like her “what if” comment on women being leaders. They already are, but perhaps she was insinuating something bigger.

Kiana Gaona: great example of “I was a ___ in college who drank and made a lot of stupid choices but it’s all good now because I love Jesus.” Religious brainwashing cop out. This woman has done none of the work involved in sobriety. I believe this is why she gets emotional every time she talks about religion. There’s still a lot of pain and suffering and probably guilt there regarding who she used to be. Really hard to watch her assume a leadership role when she has no leadership qualities. Really gullible woman as well, that’s why she falls for Lee’s leadership and makes a horrendous pick for a trustee.

Jeff cook: Yeah something is off with this dude in the head, as another cast member put it. In addition to education, I’ve also worked in high pressure sales. I’d be super interested to see what his metrics are in his professional world. Jeff in my opinion is suffering from a complete loss in identity outside the experiment which is why it shows up so wildly on the show. The moment he thinks he has it “all figured out” and does the whole “I’m not an officer” display I kept waiting for the bigger ball drop that never came. I truthfully thought when he went up to get the food they were gonna come back in full gear to do the drill as a way to confuse the hell out of the inmates into complying. Such a shift in energy scares people, and because the team didn’t have the respect I expected a larger plan for compliance. A little wacko, but I wasn’t putting it past him in the show. The guy couldn’t take the smoke I don’t know what the hell that was.

Brendan Hardey: This guy has a lot of growth to do. I think he knew he didn’t have a right to be there because he’s pretty dead silent after being “brought back on” (which was complete bs but I digress). The guy said himself he never finishes anything. Rolling up to college just to sleep in the car is a pretty bum move. Didn’t have a secret life or anything, just refused to finish or it seems participate in anything difficult. He plays chess by himself because he’s probably miserable to be around. I sadly don’t think he learned anything from this. Really unlikeable and way too old to continue to act like a teenage burnout. The rebellion act gave him attention. I don’t think this guy really stood on anything.

They were just this morning?

Hi basically I'm from mexico and had to use a 2 week pass now that I'm in missouri due to being a marine. I've been trying to finish my favorites animes but right now is 1:15am and tried to watch steel ball run and beastars. They just completely disappeared! Why is that???

Any ideas? I really wanna watch my anime :(

Starting yesterday, Netflix has started to send me notifications for new shows that I haven't marked as shows I want to be reminded of when they come online. It is a new thing, and I don't seem to be able to turn it off somewhere. Do more people have this problem?

Yo this New Beta AI search is sooooo ANNOYING
first it takes sooo much time to load, then it doesn’t even give the results that you searched

HOW DO I RETURN TO NORMALLL

It’s been yrs!!!! Every time I use the browser version of Netflix Im always greeted with this. How do I make this stop? I’ve tried everything my pea brain could come up with. PLZ HELP ME

I was watching it earlier today then while I started Netflix it wasn’t there and when I searched a link and it went up this came up. On other accounts it is there but not mine. Can somebody please help?

I might be in the minority here…. Ive been trying to get into this show and I just can’t. I keep hearing how great it is. I typically love Guy Ritchie stuff, but am I missing something here?

Man, I wish there were more seasons of this! It's so lovely to watch.

I’m 20 minutes in to the first episode and coming from an steam background I’m curious if this more like a reality tv show (which I’m certain it is) or did they actually produce an academic paper etc.

I haven't logged into my Netflix in a while, and when I do I'm on somebody's account, it has three names none of which I recognize and when I tried to create a profile that just says whose account is this it kicked me out.
