You need to get your head out of the idea that broadcast telly channels are still the "big leagues". It's a dying format, streaming isn't just the future, it's the present.

To be fair, it's not been long since "streaming only" releases were on par with "direct-to-video" movies from the days of yore.

That said, a lot of Netflix-only movies are garbage well, mostly adaptions to be fair.

I need to watch series 2. I started watching it, I think I watched the first 2 episodes then didn't go back to it.

It's not one of my favourite of Gervais's, it's a bit to morbid for me.

Mine are arranged in an artistic fashion like below. Admittedly, Disney+ can be a little challenging to watch but you do get used to it.

I watched the first series and it's far too depressing for me.

I actually thought the arc of S1 was quite uplifting . Was a bit dark when S2 started and he was like "I'm still basically suicidal". Hopefully S3 doesn't start the same way.

Although, it is a fairly accurate representation of the cyclical nature of recovery from depression. Basically it's not a straight line, it's more like...



(this is the diagram most professionals use)

I think all ricky Gervais sitcoms have made my laugh till sore, but also sobbed until smiley again.

It seems so easy for him as well, that's the funny thing.

If you want a good Netflix Original Movie I'd recommend Tau.

Spectral was also an okay Film, but I preferred Tau personally.
