The Top 10 Things on Netflix in 2018 #StreamTeam

Altered Carbon

Get ready to binge watch Netflix because if 2017 is any indication, 2018 is going to be a pretty incredible year from Netflix. Now, I do not know everything that is going to be on Netflix in 2018, new series, specials and movies are being announced all the time. But, because I am a Netflix Stream Team member I have access to see some of the things that are coming earlier than most. For 2018 Netflix has asked the Stream Team members to talk about what they are most looking forward to in 2018. I figured that I’d give a Top 10 list of what I am looking forward to. This past year I binged so many different series and shows that the first two items on the list that I am looking forward to are second seasons of shows that I really enjoyed.

  1. Ozark Season 2 – It took me a while before I gave this show a chance even though I love Jason Bateman. I’ve been a fan ever since he was on Silver Spoons. I’m pretty sure I’ve watched almost everything that he’s ever done and in Ozark he not only acts but directs and he does a great job with it. Season 2 is set to return in 2018 and I am eagerly awaiting it.
  2. Jessica Jones Season 2 – Set to return on March 8th this Marvel hero show is one of the better ones to have come out of the series of grittier shows highlighting more of Marvel’s somewhat grounded characters in Hell’s Kitchen, New York. Jessica is a smart-ass private investigator with super strength but she doesn’t want to use her powers or embrace the hero thing. We last saw Jessica in Marvel’s The Defenders and she was a bright spot in that series.

Dad Reflexes and The Best Beers for Netflix Shows

Today I used those fabled “Dad Reflexes”. Dad Reflexes are those split second moments where dads save kids from certain peril. We were at Play Group and on the playground where I was able to save Andrew at the last moment from a face full of mulch at high speed. Andrew was sitting on top of the structure above. I was standing near him telling him that he needed to get down because it was unsafe. He then teetered for a moment then I saw his hands flail a bit. He pitched forward and his feet landed on the pink tube and then his whole body started to somersault forward and face first towards the mulch that lines the ground of the play area. I managed to snag him around the waist about an inch from the ground. Let’s just say that my stress level and adrenaline level was pretty high.

I need a beer.

Luckily for me, Netflix had me covered. Well, they did not send me any actual beer but they sent me a very special beer tasting placemat and some sweet Pilsner glasses. These glasses are for Netflix shows Daredevil, House of Cards, Narcos and Peaky Blinders. I had never heard about Peaky Blinders before but it sounds interesting. In today’s vlog I go through all of the pairings and they are excellent, at least for the shows I know. I’m intrigued by both Black IPA and Peaky Blinders. I’ll have to try both some time when I get a chance. I may have to try my own Netflix Sneak.
