I’m up to ep 4 of Godless, but I’m still not sure.
I like a good western, but not sure if this is there yet.
I learned something! I started watching Dark tonight, and I was only getting German audio with no subtitles (meaning I could only understand about every fifteenth word 
). So I Googled and learned you can choose both audio and subtitle options right in Netflix, per show. It’s the voice balloon icon over the progress bar when you play a show. Click that and you can choose whatever audio/subtitle caption you want. CC adds in audio descriptors beyond dialogue translations.

Netflix subtitles can be a blast. I watch most shows with it on .

Did you like Stranger Things but wish it were darker, less twee, set in present day, involved possible time-travel and was in German with English subtitles?
Then you should be watching DARK!

Its so scary that MrPants won’t watch it with me. 
(He’s a baby tho, its not scary, creepy yes, but not “scary”)

the thing is, like Stranger Things, part of it also takes place in the 1980s – there’s PLENTY of 80s german hits (and others) in it.
i definitely find it dark, but not scary. there’s a lot to keep track of, for sure.

For some definitions of scary.
I watched the first episode and want to watch more – bits reminded me of both the original Twin Peaks and Donnie Darko. But if there’s an extended scene like that quick one at the very end of the episode, both my empathy and my claustrophobia are going to kick in and I’ll have to stop. (I walked out of The Empire Strikes Back over the carbonite scene for the same reasons.)

Its not like jump cut or horror movie gory scary!
But it is creepy, and people die, so yes, like medium scary? Medium-light scary!
I’m hooked! I need to know whats going on!

if you figure it out after watching all of it, keep me posted, haha. i’m still trying to sort it all out. i THINK i understand it all, but with so many characters reocurring at different times, combined with the german names, i just get lost.

I’m just starting ep 5, and wondering if one of the two men I think might be Mikkel is Mikkel.

When I realized there were only 7 episodes to Godless, I finished it up.
Not bad. Feels like there was more that was edited out (probably for pacing as it is a might slow in parts) but overall i thought it worked.
Some great visual shots and decent acting with a fairly predictable plot.

Just finished watching The Punisher last night and I’m genuinely impressed. It was a lot smarter than I was expecting (which, after Defenders, wasn’t saying much) and the writing was solid, with believable characters that I was actually interested in. It really didn’t feel like part of the same franchise as the other Netflix/Marvel shows, in an entirely positive way.
Two thumbs up!

I’m at the point where the Mikkel thing has been cleared up (and Mads 
) – I just started the first episode to show scenes from 1953.
Re: Mads – I keep yelling at my TV, heloooooo, DNA test? ??? A swab from Mads and either of his parents or Ullrich would help a lot.
Given the conversation Jonas and the stranger had, the whole damn town should have DNA tests.

I feel like it was supposed to be longer. Like they got green lit for a full series length show, and then it got cut back to 7. Cuz there was some long slow panning shots of western scenery porn that were lovely, but then the plot seemed jammed in there the last two episodes.
I liked it! I wish there was more of it.

There were definitely things cut.
They lingered on some props too long to not have them brought back up. There were lines that should have built on things that didn’t. Most of the gang was called out by name and obviously had history Snake Guy??? what’s his deal Blackdom seemed to have been cut back as well.
But, over all, I thought it good. Casting was great. I can’t think of anyone who really seemed out of place.

that’s how i feel, too. i have so many questions!
i was happy that my theory that The Stranger was actually Jonas from the future was correct. i believe that his stoner friend (Bartosz?) is actually the priest, Noah, from a future point in time, too. besides that, though, i’m not sure wtf is going on, haha.
EDIT: looks like it’s getting a second season, too, which is good!

Hm, hadn’t considered your second point. Hm.
I love how it gets called a “cult hit” whereas Stranger Things was just a hit or a Netflix hit. “Oh noes, turns out North Americans will read subtitles after all! !!”

Stranger Things 2, the super-secret lab has security in BASIC! That’s adorable! (And I wouldn’t be surprised if it were accurate for 1984 either.)
