I honestly don't know if I would just hit the random button and save myself or purposely not choose to be rewarded with the sweet release of death.
The only way I'm allowed to die is if I sacrifice myself to save another life, if I die in a freak accident, or if I get some fatal disease that I didn't cause through my own actions/inaction. No suicide or preventable deaths for me. But I do think about those options an inordinate amount
If I die without saving someone else in the process I lose a bet.
And ma didn't raise a loser.
Nothing is stopping you, go chase that dream
Unrealistic, from memory Jigsaw always gave challenges which the victim had at least a chance of completing.
I think they only stuck to that premise for the first one or two movies
There's definitely at least one where they're like "you're so bad, I was always gonna kill you from the start" and it got me thinking... Why set up the whole trap and not just dump his body in the nearest ocean?
It depends on who built the trap. John Kramer is the original jigsaw and came up with the whole "the choice is yours" thing so his traps are always technically escapable. Amanda is the first apprentice and breaks John's rules by making traps completely impossible, she ends up in three separate games (if you count Saw 2) because John wanted her to stop. Then there's the cop who's lead killer for like three movies but I still never remember his name, he just straight-up murders people so obviously his traps aren't always winnable either. I'm not sure why he even bothers with traps. The guy from Spiral has no real connection to Jigsaw and just uses traps as a cover, but that's also a detective movie more than a Saw movie; the plot would barely change if there were no traps at all.
Yeah and it's not really a series that is concerned much with maintaining continuity considering #7 out of 10 is called the final chapter. Most people are into it for the comeuppance and mousetrap gore.
He didn't say "new series" so we'll be rewatching DS9. Now. Yes, including Move Along Home.
Yep. If I'm feeling depressed I'll slap on Bojack. If I'm feeling good, Disenchantment. That's pretty much the only things I watch on Netflix when I sub it for a month to see if it's gotten any better.
I keep Netflix around for Trailer Park Boys. Feels like coming home.
Then again I just got an additional 24TB of storage so maybe I don't need it any more.🏴☠️
Not on Netflix in my region :(
Sorry, but Netflix lost the rights to that over a year ago.
Not everywhere, it seems. I watched an episode a few days ago. So I guess the challenge is region-specific.
LAME!
Just saying, 3rd party databases are great: https://reelgood.com/
It's incredible how much more useful they are than the stupid rec algorithms.
Arcane

EDIT: Seriously, don't sleep on Blue Eyed Samurai.
Seen it.
Seen it.
Seen it. Love it, maybe a rewatch?
Boring.
I don't care about cake.
Maybe, but I'm not into tv dramas...
Have I died yet?
Did you check for your pulse? We need more info to answer that
If you like Castlevania, try DOTA Dragon's Blood.
And both Avatar series, if you somehow haven't seen them.
Monty python's flying circus
And now for something completely different.
Always look on the bright side of life
I think that got removed at the start of November (from US Netflix anyway)
Sad :(
This is easy, I'll just watch Bojack Horseman again.
what if it has to be one you havent seen before
I Think You Should Leave. 15 minute episodes.
Arcane.
I'd just rewatch Dungeon Meshi, I've been wanting to for a bit, but I can't use my in-laws' account because of Netflix's password sharing BS
Saw suddenly sounds good for some reason.
Is it that hard?
I know at least 3 movies on Netflix that i would like to watch but didnt have time
Time before what? Before you canceled?
Before youtubers started making 4 hours videos
Before the guillotine got them
Good thing I don't watch too many things, so most of them are new to me.
So relatable!
I once binge watched the reality show, "the circle" which took many days to finish because there were so many seasons. I could have played this game without being guillotined.
Am I the only one here that checks the new releases weekly to filter and mark the interesting stuff to see in advance?
And never watch them?
For a while, yes...
Culinary Class Wars
It's like if Iron Chef and Squid Game had a baby and it's amazing.
Easy. Star Trek.
Awful kerning
(Kerning is spacing between letters)
Awful Kerning is novel, but I doubt it will be renewed for a second season.
