Big lover of OzarkI didn't think I would like Arrested Development, but I really do. Takes a certain sense of humor I think.
Waiting for 4th and final season of Ozark in early 2022. Coincidentally they both star Jason Bateman.

I haveb't seen any of them but I'm always reluctant to start watching a show that has already ended, kind of wonder what's the point. What's more infuriating though is when then cancel a show or rush the ending to finish it. Shows like GoT, Person of Interest, Flash Forward to name a few.How slow are you on this stuff?
So slow that Breaking Bad, House of Cards and Mad Men would be new to you?
Or slow meaning you haven't gotten to Squid Game yet?
And are you just limited to Netflix? So no Apple TV, Hulu, Amazon Prime, HBO, etc.?
I'm exactly the opposite. If a show has ended then I know exactly what I'm getting myself into. I know exactly how many episodes there are and how many hours of viewing I'm committing to if I stick with it to the end. And if I decide to give up on it I know exactly how much viewing I'm abandoning.I haveb't seen any of them but I'm always reluctant to start watching a show that has already ended, kind of wonder what's the point.
I agree to a point JayHely. I too do not watch most programmes apart from sport 'live'. Our national broadcaster, the BBC, transmits without commercials so that maybe the only exception. Out satellite service Sky has the record feature so at least we can whizz through those pesky ads. I have visted the US a few times and seem to remember that the commercials are every 10 minutes or so? Here on terrestrial broadcast they are about every 15-20.I'm exactly the opposite.

To question the point of watching an already ended series is a bit like wondering why you should watch a movie. Unless you're expecting sequels, the story has ended long before you even heard of the movie.
I do get that there's a big difference between watching something during the initial showing and watching it later on at your leisure. In the old days you either watched it during the original broadcast or you missed it. Things on tape or streaming there's no urgency to the viewing. It takes something away from the experience. But those are the I agree to a point times we live in. I haven't watched anything but sports at the original broadcast time in a decade or more.
Me too. I always read reviews first and make sure there is a conclusion to the series. Nothing worst than getting invested in a series and having it cancelled mid-story with no conclusion. "Jerico" comes to mind, but I love the way fans responded by sending tons of nuts to CBS. Should happen to all premature cancellations. How hard is it to produce 1-2 more episodes to end it properly.I'm exactly the opposite. If a show has ended then I know exactly what I'm getting myself into.

AD gets better every time you watch it. It's almost impossible to catch all of the joke threads that they wove through the first 3 seasons on a one-time watch; I've watched it at least 4 times and I find something new every time!I didn't think I would like Arrested Development, but I really do.

Very good!!The Killing, on Netflix, looks promising too.
Anyone watched it?
Hated they did that to Deadwood on HBO. At least they made a move to close it out.Me too. I always read reviews first and make sure there is a conclusion to the series.

I'm watching breaking bad now - It's really tough to watch sometimes when Walter Sr. really loses it around his family (i had to turn off tequila shot scene at the remission party). The Saul Goodman character did make me laugh out loud a few times during his first appearance so I'm definitely going to check out the BCS series when (if) I finish Breaking BadFor the Breaking Bad fans, check out Better Call Saul.
I'm envious that you're getting to see it for the first time, I've watched the series at least 3 times, maybe 4.I'm watching breaking bad now - It's really tough to watch sometimes when Walter Sr. really loses it around his family (i had to turn off tequila shot scene at the remission party).

<scratches head> Maybe......but I sort of doubt it. IIRC, Netflix streams over TCP (lossless,) not UDP (transmission not guaranteed.) Among other things, retransmits are requested, and packets get reordered into the proper sequence before being presented to the upper application layer. We've gotten out of sync condition this occasionally on our Roku Ultra with my Plex Media Server when rewinding and fast forwarding, and that's all on a single LAN (no gateways, and no demonstrable packet loss.) If a low speed network connection caused enough of a problem, Netflix is supposed to automatically switch down to a lower resolution to continue to play.Likely a bad internet connection. we get perfect quality. But we don't use a puter. We use either Roku or our Samsung Smart TV
