Netflix Pick of the Week (Week 5)

Netflix picks of the week. (Week 5)

Here on the Netflix picks of the week I’ll give you guys a little list of things that I found enjoyable on the streaming service. Each list will have 4 different picks for different tastes. So without further ado, the list!

For those who could use a laugh: Community

One of my favorite comedies of recent years Community never fails to make me laugh. The jokes are sometime subtle and its one of those shows you really have to grow into. With four of the five seasons now steaming on Netflix there has never been a better time to start the show. Avoid season four though, it’s a little lack luster but still worth a watch.

For those who crave Sci Fi: Hell Boy

Before the days of huge Comic book epics like Iron Man and the Dark Knight there was X-Men and Hell boy. Hell Boy is from the early days of comic book movies following the wave of success from X-Men and Spiderman. It may not quite live up to the standards we hold today’s comic book adaptations too but it’s still a fun romp with great characters and some inventive action shots.

For those who are looking for something stupid: World War Z

Dumb, far inferior to the book, and capped with a strange ending this movie is a bit of an odd one to make my list. While the production was riddled with problems and the final product may not make much sense or really deliver a solid ending, its still a fun watch if you turn off your brain and let the wave of zombies sink in.

Pick of the week: Hannibal

Smart, beautifully filmed, and excessively gory, Hannibal is about as close to a British miniseries as you will find on American network TV. The characters are masterfully written and the show really finds its footing with season two. The amount of gore is a bit overwhelming but the great performances and intriguing mysteries tempt many back for another bite.
