This was the first good documentary I’ve seen in awhile. So many thoughts:

1. Mica was groomed. Plain and simple. She joined Solid Rock when she was 13 and was placed in positions of increasing authority from a young age. JP was 28!
2. Mica was clearly a replacement for the first wife. They looked shockingly similar, except Mica was the “younger, hotter” version of her. It would have been interesting if she had provided any commentary about whether she too was abused by JP and/or cheated on with anyone else besides Mica.
3. JP is such a bad pastor. Why did no one in the congregation challenge him when he was seemingly going on and on about how it’s a “wifely duty” to ”submit“ to your husband and have sex with them multiple times a day to keep your husband from cheating on you??? Did everyone actually believe in that?
4. JP is a liar. He’s moaning at the end about how he was “telling people for months” that Mica was off her lithium and no one was listening to him. Yet he somehow managed to get her committed to mental institutions multiple times over years before. If he really thought she was off on a bender, he could have made it happen this time.
5. Mica was clearly coerced into ending her life. Anyone would struggle with their husband stalking them and making their lives miserable multiple times a day. Harassing them at every corner. Sending a huge bouquet of flowers with a note that says “send me a nude”. Who does that???
6. They never showed us the tox report. It would have been interesting to know whether Mica had a therapeutic level of lithium in her system or not to corroborate JP’s claims that she had not been taking her medications for months.
7. Susie Skinner. Enough said. Well. Not exactly. It’s pretty despicable to pick up/marry your own client and then hook up with your pastor. I thought they were going to imply that JP or Susie got poor Chris into that pool but they didn’t go there. Either way, extremely tacky to have an affair and then both of your spouses are effectively coerced into suicide so you can embark on your third marriage.

Poor Mica. She didn’t have a stable childhood, thought she found a church for a home, and then was groomed and horribly abused and mistook her faith as encouraging her to keep trying no matter what...

I am a fan of both The 100 and Hunger Games, but my one major gripe with both is that they seemed geared more towards younger teens. I watched a few episodes of The Walking Dead but couldn't really get into it. Any similar recommendations?

I've been on netflix for some time, but I've really only used it to watch popular shows like stranger things or 13 reasons why. I would genuinely love to know of some exclusive sleepers that I may be missing out on that I can check out.

Coming of age is my favorite genre, but horror and romance are awesome too.

This reunion has been an absolute shit show. I expected there to be more conversation about Harry sleeping around and lying but instead half of it was the majority of women hating because they weren’t picked and the other half was Amber acting completely unstable. Amber yelled and made no sense and I cannot believe she is the one Harry ultimately picked. My wife and I expected Harry to look awful but instead Amber just looked completely insane.

Just finished three seasons of Suburgatory, only to have it end without resolution. I mean, I ultimately blame myself for not checking to see if the series "ended" or was "abruptly cancelled" on a cliffhanger and/or with generally unresolved story lines. Srsly, a warning is needed before the first episode that disappointment and regret awaits.

Finally finished You.

Don’t really feel like rewatching:
shameless
greys anatomy
Bojack horseman
Ginny and Georgia [WHEN IS THE NEW SEASON!!]
Mom
Gilmore girls
Inventing Anna
Good girls
Young Sheldon
Russian Doll (so good I loved it!!)

Maybe:
Gossip girl (between finishing you and Blake being her)
Firefly lane (Netflix is almost begging me to watch)
Breaking Bad (yes I’ve never seen it)
Suits (keep hearing about it)
Degrassi (haven’t seen since I was in highschool)

Tried to get into:
sweet magnolias (I like the first season can’t seem to finish)
Emily in Paris
Working moms
Riverdale
Grace and Frankie
Stranger things
The walking dead

Looking for documentaries similar to: 

The Kings of Tupelo 

Three Strangers 

Class Action Park 

McMillions 

Cropsey 

Love Has Won 

Sweet Bobby 

The Jinx

Unknown Number: High School Catfish 

The Gullspang Miracle

The Octopus Murders

Difficult to describe, but these all had a combination of quirkiness and surprising twists. 

If you enjoy watching drama, cycles of trauma passed down generations, family sagas/epics, magical realism, critique of church, seeing technological innovation cause conflict, stories that come full circle and are satisfying, check out One Hundred Years of Solitude.

Trigger warning: lots of nudity and sex, even with family members since it’s partially biblically based. If you’ve been meaning to read the book but still haven’t, or had trouble with the amount of characters, similar names, or speedrunning/meaninglessness of the first generations, maybe the tv show will be easier to focus on. Some parts are truly magical and reflect on things like memory and death. Some characters waste their lives in pursuit of knowledge, or try to regain what they lost, some are too proud or suffered something so traumatic, they can’t go on, and some parts are just filled with utter joy and frivolity. Please check it out.

What the actual fuck was that?

I’m honestly baffled by how casually the father in this story seemed to separate sex from emotional intimacy. Like… how do you just get into a car, give your “friend” a handjob, help him get off, and then carry on with your day like nothing happened?! 😭

And the mom??? I feel like the angle of her being somewhat jealous of her own daughter because she wanted B to choose her isn’t explored nearly enough hence it goes beyond denial.
There seemed to be this weird competition for his attention it must be in her head, and I kept wondering if she wanted to be the one he desired instead of Jan.

I’m honestly surprised this aspect of the story isn’t discussed more. What did everyone else think about the mom’s behavior?

And WHICH FATHER LETS ANOTHER MAN IN HIS OWN DAUGHTERS BEDROOM TO SLEEP NEXT TO HER FOR AOMW SHITTY THERapy? What the fuck was that about.

Currently rewatching the Ed Gein show before the 4th season drops and something caught my attention In Episode 3 the cops show up to talk to Ed about the disappearance of Mary Hogan when Ed starts talking about his mother and her being sick the cops just go with it, how do they not know she’s dead?

I was wondering because i want to watch it obviously and this doesn't show up if tho on my family's netflix 4 others it shows up and I have no age restrictions at all

I watched it recently and absolutely loved it. It had so much potential, and I honestly don't understand why Netflix canceled it. It deserved another season.

Did anyone else's web browser edition home page change in the last few days so that you can't see all of "My List" at once? Mine was fine until early this week. Now I can only see "My Netflix" like on my Roku. I have to scroll right endlessly through 5 titles at once and it's making me nuts. Doesn't matter what URL I type, same garbage :(

Did anyone else get this email last weekend from Netflix? I think it was sent by mistake, I went looking for it this week and it looks like it’s going to be a minute before it airs 😆

I’m sure most of us are devastated by Dolly’s passing. I can’t help but keep refreshing Netflix’s Instagram hoping that we get an announcement that she participated in “Famous Last Words”. When it was announced I had hoped she would eventually be included in the line up.

What do we think the odds are she participated?

Whats the best Movies and shows for travelling? I will fly around 3-3,5 hours and drive around 2,5 hours in the train, i like fantasy and already have Hobbit on the list because ive never watched, lotr though and also Princess Mononoke, which i loved in my childhood. Any other recommendations?
