Quote:I started watching Longmire when it was a cable show, so when Netflix revived it, I put that on my binge list.  They've subsequently extended it for 2 more seasons, so the story continues.

 

House of Cards, Bloodline, and Narcos are all well worth a binge.

 

We did binge on Making of a Murderer, and it was definitely one of those shows that hooks you in pretty quickly.  The post show activities have certainly been rather interesting.  It's pretty rare that a show on a subscriber service would actually become as newsworthy as this one has in the past couple of months.

I think a lot of it has to do with the absurdity of the whole thing. Whether you believe SA is guilty or not, the miscarriage of justice for him and BD is just appalling. SA's lawyer, Dean Strang was asked in an interview in December if he thought SA was innocent and he said he honestly didn't know but he didn't get a fair trial for sure. 

 

I think that's something that the show was trying to point out whether it meant to or not. That the justice system completely failed SA and BD whether they are guilty or not and it made a lot of people talk. That's the mark of a telling story. If it gets you to thinking and talking about the subject. So much TV now is so mindless and formulatic (is that a word?) it doesn't take much for it to go in one ear and out the other.

 

Bloodline is a great show. I think it's way underrated. I don't know where they'll go with the second season but the first was almost perfect by itself. I only want another season because I love the characters and actors. 

 

I love Longmire. 

 

I haven't tried Narcos.
