The last 2 episodes of the season are actually (probably a coincidence) about the length of an 80s miniseries. Most had the typical 4 hour (with commercials) slot but some would have a 2 hour premiere and a 3 hour finale.

Like a Jean Claude Van Damme movie...

You can also argue that them doing it is part of why they remain popular.

Has he commented on whether the translations are accurate or not? They seem a little contrived at times, but maybe that's just how it translates...

Yeah, they should have had weight classes with that one. The MMA brawl was pretty awesome, though. Didn't see that coming.

Yeah, the editing is pretty weak. Especially the double takes of the audio and unnecessary video cut aways...

I'm not sure if it's the translation, the editing, or a characteristic of the people who tend to be on the show, maybe even a cultural thing, but they all seem so self depreciating. Very hard on themselves for mistakes that anyone would make, especially considering how fit and skilled they are. I appreciate how quick they are to compliment and support each other. Sure, some were kind of dbags, but I think they all got cut in the first few elimination challanges. Does anyone else notice this, or is it just me? I lived in South East Asia for a while, and I know that being selfish and unsportsmanlike are highly looked down on, but I never saw the same level of self debasement...

The scene that earned it

I don't mind getting a random show I've never watched, but why would their algorithm choose some random episode in the 5th season? Why not, ya know, the first episode?

They weren’t feeling lucky

I don't feel like they have the content quality for this sort of feature tbh. Massive catalog but it's like 80% mediocrity, especially the current/newer stuff (back catalog is pretty insane tbf, Queen's Gambit, Dark, Breaking Bad, BCS, etc). Realistically most people keep Netflix due to the 2 or 3 enormous global smash hits that they release per year, rather than the enormous breadth of subpar shite that they shovel out in droves.

What is Power?

Oh fuck off

Who pooped in your cheerios? Are you really this upset that people are criticizing a feature that failed?

How do you manage to be so inaccurate in so few words. Congrats.

That's a big thing for me... It feels like every fucking marvel thing is world ending.

Just tell good compelling stories

Can we please stop using the word “quietly” in headlines? Like what even is the point of using that word here, were they supposed to make a heartfelt announcement on the end of the shuffle button?

It was kind of tongue in cheek. My old man watches all of them.

Someone suddenly discovered the laws of physics and hates it. What a mess.

Well, many of us loved the original. Harry, Christine, Dan, Bull, Roz/Thelma, Mac, even Soon Lee wasnt too awfully annoying.

I was really enjoying the first 4 episodes of the new reboot, then 5 was kinda...meh...

Then 6. Episode 6 deserved to be sandblasted from time itself.

The scene: A down and out, bottom of the barrel NYC district Night Court. (The kind of place lower than a Union Station workers toilet)

The cast: The lowest/most incompetent/inept/noobs of the NYC legal system process the very dregs of NYC. (hookers known by their first names, etc)

The story; Into the legal system sewer come a bunch of infant do-gooders on a (very hollywood) crusade to ignore the laws, and free a self admitted vandal. Boo-hoo. Suddenly, (because it's 2022-23) it's not a legal issue, but a racial social justice matter, preached by snot nosed little buggers who probably cant wipe their own butts.

Oh my. Arent they superior!?

Only in hollywood would they not be put out on the corner at $5 a pop, strung out on crack, earning for the guilty scum who just posted bail.

It was preachy and so totally un-funny and out of the realm of basic common sense as to just switch off, and watch re-runs of Cheers.

The show isnt remotely mature enough to have entire episodes spewing political messages of any kind @ s1e6. Maybe season 3 when they have an audience. Certainly not the first third of season 1.

I wish that button had been for shows you'd already selected. Like if you've watched The Office a million times, you could shuffle and it'd just give you some random episodes. That would be neat.
