BoJack Horseman: Time's Arrow (2017)
I hope this won an Emmy
Giving backstory by telling it from the perspective of someone suffering with Alzheimer's disease is brilliant!
Rudderless (2014)
Stay spoiler free!
I'm glad I wasn't spoiled on the twist. This movie stayed with me... actually I watched it quite a few years ago and it's still with me! It's fantastic!
Justice League (2017)
Not great but they should do more
I like the concept of getting all of them together. I love Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman and Jason Mamoa as Aquaman and would be interested in seeing more. Where this movie lacks and previous movies do too, is their handling of Superman. He's stiff and unlike able and brooding. Afleck does a serviceable job and the flash is fine as the comic relief. I would like them to add Green Lantern. If a new director takes over, maybe a Taika Watiti or something, and maybe a new Superman, than this franchise could still make money.
The Man in the High Castle (2015)
Enough to keep watching
It isn't bad really. It doesn't quite feel like there is enough story for 4 seasons so it feels a bit stretched and the actors aren't top notch (most hold their own though). The production value seems to increase with each season, like the studio was really reluctant until it must have grown in popularity. The trailer for the fourth and final season looks really good. So there's enough there to keep watching to see what happens but if you're like me, you won't get attached to any characters - like at all. Do I recommend? It would be a fun weekend binge when it's raining out.
Bob's Broken Sleigh (2015)
Like Pixar but not
If you like A Bugs Life than ... you'll probably notice it's the same plot. Just replace ants with elves, grasshoppers with puffins and food tribute with sleigh. Also the invented wanders around and finds crazy characters that become his helpful friends. Now imagine Pixar made A Bugs Life with the same computer they made their first short with. If it's december and your kid is home sick from school and you've already seen everything else Netflix has to offer... maybe go for a walk and get some fresh air.
