That feeling when the person you leech Netflix from finally gets HD back.
It was so annoying I really should have just resubbed myself at that point.

On My Block is underrated. Such a funny and charming show. The characters are all great and had me consistently laughing.

Decided to give "Behind The Cove" a shot as it was advertised as "the silent Japanese speak up"...

Not even 10 minutes in and its like a terribly put together YouTube video that is entirely Whataboutism.
"Why does America protect a wanted criminal, Paul Watson?"
"and they kill cows and chickens, why can they kill The Lambs of God?"

Man this is some trash.

Started watching Marco Polo this weekend, finished Season 1 already looking forward to Season 2. Disappointed that's all there will be as it was cancelled after that. Great acting and story. Recommended.

Second season is better since they focus on everyone but Marco.

Just finished Hilarity for Charity special. It was good, I remembered I'm not a fan of Sarah Silverman but it was a fun way to spend an hour. Also Post Malone owned the show. Group I saw it with didn't take him seriously until now, he killed it.

Anyone watching Troy Fall of a City? Just watched the first episode last night and really liked the take on the story they are telling. Wondering how the season is as a whole?

Really like how they are actually using the gods in the show. Was not expecting that at all, and it really makes me interested in the show even more.

Your spoiler may have me check out the series cause I wasn't interesting in it before.

I'm halfway through and bored to death. I was hoping for Vikings (partly because the guy playing Paris looks like Travis Fimmel's long lost brother), but I got The Last Kingdom: endless talking, little to no fighting.

They did some interesting things (major characters are portrayed by black actors), but it's just mediocre at best and screams low budget. There is one scene where Agamemnon thanks Achilles, basically saying they couldn't do it without him, after he returns from killing a bunch of armed (and unarmed) farmers. Really? And the myrmidons, feared and famed for their skill in battle, look like bar regulars that have just rolled out of bed and stumbled onto a movie set.

I'll skip through it but stick with the movie.

Acts of Vengeance (Thriller)
so i watched this and...the fight choreography is pretty good. surprisingly good. and antonio bandaras is in frame for a lot of it. it's basically his entry into the old man kicking ass revenge thriller genre, and it ranks high. would recommend to any fans of other genre standouts such as taken 1, john wick 1, and equalizer.

Should have listened to people and not wasted my time with the outsider and mute. Some extremely average movies.

I'll probably still watch cloverfield and bright tho lol

I thought Mute was OK.

But I had watched Warcraft the day before. Fuck me that was awful.

Duncan Jones Netflix double bill was a mistake.

Not sure why netflix stops downloading the episodes when my phone goes to sleep. Assuming I need to adjust phone settings though?

Everyone should watch Terrace House (OT here) it might be my favorite Netflix show ever, it is so fascinating. You can start with the first part of the latest show, it's eight episodes so far and it'll easily sore you whether you like it or not.

I binged the first Netflix series Boys & Girls in the City in just over a week, I haven't been that hooked on a show in a long time. Go. Watch.

Just watched Beyond Skyline and as someone who thought that the first movie was trash other then the last bit at the end. I actually enjoyed it. Its still a b-tier sci-fi movie, but its a far better and entertaining movie than the first in every way.

Yeah I'm 3 episodes in. I really like that they've included the gods in this, but idk, it's been kind of boring so far. I mean 3 episodes in so far and it feels like Achilles has had like 5 minutes of screen time. I don't like Helen. Hector is cool though. So far the movie with Brad Pitt feels like it was much more interesting/entertaining. Gonna stick with it though.

Finished Lost in Space last night. It's very good. It could become my favorite netflix original if they smash season 2.

Also just noticed legends of tomorrow season 3 which means the rest of the CW series (arrow/flash/supergirl) can't be far behind. Exciting!

Technical question ...
Is possible "force" a lower resolution ?

I have my account with 4K but I want to watch some series in 720p or 1080p

Pd: this is in TV app

It is possible, but I can't remember if the option is available on the TV app. But go to settings, it should be called something like playback settings or app settings > then pick the video quality.

It's not in the TV app's that I've seen. You have to make the change through a browser and it changes the quality level device-wide on a per user basis.

So a quick fix would be to have two user accounts. One at the lower resolution and one at higher. Then you'll be able to pick and choose resolution simply by changing the user account no matter what device you're on.

If you change via the web this changes will apply in all device?

Is this the configuration I need to change?

Media(medium) is for 720p?
And alta(high) is for 1080p and 4k?

I think high is 720p and above depending on your internet speeds, and medium is SD.

As far I can tell, this is correct. Medium is 480p so High would be 720p and up. Unfortunately you can't really adjust the HD levels more specifically except by using a secret shortcut in a browser and that only works while viewing in the browser during that specific session.

If high is 720p and above, I'm in the same spot than before
