Based on a horror podcast that, according to the comments, this Netflix adaption follows really closely. Heard good things about it. Figured you guys might be curious since I know y’all love podcasts

IN   

It's in the cue as soon as I finish Yellowjackets.

[TheNewGirl 1,022]

I started it twice, it's kind of slow, so I get distracted. 

I will have to start it again and pay attention this time. I usually like that the episodes are longer (almost an hour), but I got easily sidetracked with this one.

When everyone around you is gone for a few hours, have a couple drinks and watch. Otherwise, play Uncharted 4. It's awesome with a few beers in you.

Finished over the weekend. I’m really enjoying it but I have NFI where it’s going. They really do a good job of teasing out info to build suspense.

It's decent, I have an odd attraction to anything Juliette Lewis after the masterpiece that is Natural Born Killers.

I read somewhere that ep 1 through 3 are a slow burn and it really cranks up in ep 4.   

[GutterBoy 2,277]

I have an odd attraction to anything set in the 80s and 90s, probably because I loved those decades and pretty much hate society in the 10s and 20s.

I used to love annoying my wife by impersonating a sketchy Brad Pitt as he talks to Juliette Lewis in "Kalifornia"... 

Put that tittay away, Adele!

The setup was a lot better than the payoff unfortunately. Overall I’d give it a 6-7 out of 10.

Thru 4.  Not the best actors, but, good story so far.  We will see where this circle film takes us.  

[edjr 5,556]

I think I got 1/2 way through 4 and then stopped for Ozark

[Horseman 1,513]

Ep 5 kept the creep factor going.  Have to keep watching to see what the real story is and how it all plays out.

I'm getting meh on Ozark.  Too much going on and it's nonsensical.  They have like 2 acres of poppies and the Mexican cartel is going in business with you? 

Really?  STFU.

Why didn't they step in episode 1 and blast her ass?

I'm at season 2 episode 6 and I'm beginning to wish they would all die. 

I don't see the love.  They are trying too hard.

The storyline is just not intellectual.  

This dood is washing money out of a rundown boat launch and nobody is going to raise an eyebrow when he spends $575,000 on carpet?  STFU.  

What's this Yellowjackets you all speak of?

[fandandy 3,311]

And that church.  What, like 25 by 40?  You're gonna wash millions building this thing?  How?  You gonna build it out of Rhodium?

[edjr 5,556]

Take it to the Ozark thread

Right? Casino would be a much better idea.

Canceled...

https://tvline.com/2022/03/24/archive-81-cancelled-season-2-netflix/

Archive 81 is officially history at Netflix: The supernatural thriller has been cancelled after one eight-episode season, TVLine has confirmed.

The axing comes just over two months after Archive 81 landed on the streamer, with its full first season dropping on Jan. 14. Its season finale — which now doubles as a series finale — averaged a reader grade of “B”; read our recap here.

Inspired by the horror podcast of the same name, Archive 81 starred Mamoudou Athie (Sorry for Your Loss) as archivist Dan Turner, who took a job restoring a collection of damaged videotapes from 1994. While reconstructing the work of documentary filmmaker Melody Pendras (Dina Shihabi, Altered Carbon), he was drawn into her investigation of a dangerous cult at the Visser apartment building. As Dan slowly found himself obsessed with uncovering what happened to Melody, the two characters formed a mysterious connection, and Dan became convinced he could save her from the terrifying end she met 25 years ago.

The cast also included Matt McGorry, Martin Donovan, Julia Chan, Evan Jonigkeit and Ariana Neal. Not long after its January debut on Netflix, the series briefly appeared in the Top 10 of Nielsen’s U.S. ranking of streaming originals, where it joined other Netflix fare like Cheer and Cobra Kai.
