I love my Netflix! My family and I got rid of cable a few months ago and went completely streaming. I had 400 channels and I still found myself complaining about the lack of originality and programming on cable. I usually write about what my daughter is watching on Netflix. But, I’ve decided that I’m going to talk about… What Dad is Watching on Netflix!
Lady Dynamite
I am a big fan of comedian Maria Bamford and Netflix has given her her own series. It’s based on what Maria Bamford has accepted to be “her life.†The occasionally surreal episodes, refracted across multiple periods inspired by the actor/comedian’s life, tell the story of a woman who loses and then puts her life together.Funny, dramatic and completely original.
Bloodline
I’ve been waiting for Season 2 of Bloodline for a long time. The first season was a well written Florida-noir that was full of twists and turns. Set in the Florida Keys, Bloodline centers on a close-knit family of four adult siblings whose secrets and scars are revealed when their black sheep brother returns home.
The Do Over
I don’t care what you might think about me… I love Adam Sandler movies. They are my guilty pleasure. His new Netflix Original Movie is a buddy action comedy that made me laugh hysterically. This is not his usual pg-13 fare. It is very much an adult comedy. In The Do-Over, Adam Sandler plays “Max†and David Spade plays “Charlie,†old friends tired of their mundane lives who reunite at their 25th high school reunion for the ultimate mulligan: they decide to wipe the slate clean for a do-over. After faking their deaths and assuming new identities, could their lives be better the second time around?
Chef’s Table
I am a foodie through and through. I love Chef’s Table because it takes you into the mind of the Chef and gives you an insiders look at their world. Chef’s Table features six of the world’s most renowned international chefs, and offers viewers the opportunity to go inside the lives and kitchens of these culinary talents.
The chefs for season two featured include:
- Alex Atala, Dom, (Brazil)
- Ana Ros, Hiša Franko (Slovenia)
- Dominique Crenn, Atelier Crenn (United States)
- Enrique Olvera, Pujol (Mexico)
- Gaggan Anand, Gaggan (Thailand)
- Grant Achatz, Alinea, Next, The Aviary (United States)
Netflix has a lot of new shows debuting this summer including Voltron: Legendary Defender, Orange is the New Black, Marco Polo and BoJack Horseman.
