Full disclosure: I like cycling and true crime, so I am the perfect target group for this.

Moriah Wilson is a beautiful, extremely talented cyclist who is up and coming in the cycling world.

Colin Strickland is also a cyclist in Texas who is neither one of those things (beautiful nor extremely talented) but he is reasonably successful in his own merit.

He is living with Kaitlin Armstrong, an on and off long term girlfriend he is not treating right, not quite committed to her but she’s in his house and running their business.

They break up and he gets involved with Moriah who also ended a long term relationship.

Then he gets back together with Kaitlin. Kaitlin blocks women in his phone, and calls Moriah that they are back together and she needs to step out of the picture.

You get where this is going.

It’s going exactly where you think it is.

The real heroes in the documentary are Moriah’s parents who lost a daughter any parent would be proud of, someone they clearly loved and cared for deeply. I just felt for them. Also, her brother was clearly devastated by losing his sister.

Colin did not care for anyone but himself; he did not care for Moriah nor Kaitlin. He did not murder Moriah but he had an obsessively jealous girlfriend he couldn’t get a clean break with and put other women he involved himself with into grave danger. I would argue - knowingly. She sent him videos threatening she will hurt women he involves himself with.

He is absolutely accountable for Moriah’s death. Not equally as pulling the trigger but his behavior and choices very much contributed to the outcome. Where is his integrity and honesty in all of this to EVERYONE involved!?

Kaitlin is a sociopathic narcissist or whatever, and her actions- leaving the country after she murdered another woman over a guy - are just pathetic.

Hearing that her screams as Moriah was being murdered were actually recorded was extremely difficult. Her last moments on this planet were absolutely horrific 😭😭

Her mother’s words to the murderer were crushing - “if you only just talked to her, she would have understood, instead you just murdered her”.

I actually absolutely believe that. If she had an honest conversation with her, I am sure the outcome could have been different.

The documentary is really well done, it’s beautifully made, and I highly recommend it.

But in the end, I feel deep grief for the loss of their daughter for Mariah‘s parents and deep disdain for Colin for creating this whole situation to begin with, and just disgust at Kaitlin for ruining so many lives over a guy who never really cared for her.

Girls, please; no guy is worth this! Like seriously, 😒 if you ever consider hurting a “rival woman”, you are with the wrong man!!!! Like this needs to stop being a thing culturally and socially or whatever this is rooted in.

Rest in peace, Moriah.

And her family has my deepest sympathy and respect.

I am so so so sososososos sick of of how complicated your device and household management gets. Amazon prime is so much easier to manage, you keep upping your prices and runining the tv experience. I have been a member over 10 years and in that time it has only continually made my tv watching experience worse and further complicated. I cannot wait for this company to get bought, chopped and eliminated and for the content to live somewhere else. Also, death to capitalism. You ruin my saturday mornings and all I want to do at 38 is watch some Naruto with my partner or my nephew, but here i am opening 18 emails to update devices/using AI to understand how many households are allowed under a plan, logging into my account on my laptop, a phone, the tv, getting 18 codes bc you can't figure out which is primary and which is not. I fiercely hope that ya'll get the deepest chop. Be gone DEMON!

I feel like we end up missing a lot of good insight on shows and movies because the conversation gets split across so many separate posts about the same thing. It’d be nice if we could keep each show or movie discussion going in one place instead.

TW: child rape, forced marriage, rape

This documentary is about the Fundamentalist Church of the Letterday Saints which is a branch of the Mormon church that refused to renounce polygamy.

Essentially, a highly secluded sect where women have one job: serve their husband, raise their kids and keep quiet and cute. That’s it. A pregnancy vessel and a sexual slave.

They never use the term slave in the documentary, but my interpretation of the role of the women is that they are literally sexual slaves to the man they are forced to marry.

The documentary maps the history of the sect where an 86-year-old man gets to marry a 19-year-old as his 78th wife or whatever, and the legacy then continues.

It is stressed these women are brainwashed without proper education into serving their man without any thought for their own needs, aspirations or values. All they have to do is keep sweet a.k.a. serve the man.

If there are too many boys in the cult, they get pushed out and called the lost boys, so they don’t compete for the brides with other men.

Girls are forced to get married at 14 and have six children by the time they are 22 which is just inconceivable to me.

The more wives of men has, the better the social status. Girls are essentially exchanged between the men as cattle.

I am certain that there are plenty of men in the society who consider this the ideal scenario. Unlimited access to sex, no responsibility to parenthood as there is no evidence of the man actually raising any of the children they sire. They just keep marrying younger and younger women than themselves.

The women have absolutely no say in who they get to marry, and under what circumstances.

Those are not arranged marriages. Those are literally forced marriages in every sense of the word.

The men are entirely in control of everything, and they are absolutely in control of the lives of the women. The women have no say in anything at all, including whether - yet another - wife gets added to the family or not.

It is all about the usual: sex, power, control.

It doesn’t matter what kind of moniker we give to that arrangement, what kind of sect, what kind of church or what kind of religion, it ultimately comes down to the same thing every single time.

Only when the men start impregnating teenage brides which amounts to statutory rape, is there any kind of action taken by law enforcement. I would argue this is way too late, and the tolerance of the law enforcement and the wider society towards these people living like this for generations is problematic and questionable.

Surely the people in the area I knew what the hell is going on in this community.

The documentary is nowhere near as salacious or scandalous as I imagine they could have made it, but while they interview a few of the escapees and survivors of this, I am not sure they did a sufficient job stressing how abusive the environment was towards the women because the women themselves often did not even realize that.

I would also say that it is overly long and could have been half of the length. A lot of the stuff was a bit repetitive and you just see the women in little uniforms, each one with a bunch of kids doing pretty much the same thing with no one questioning this world order that serves only one group: The men in power.

Any Western European government would be very quick to outlaw such sect in my opinion. No way they would have tolerated this in Sweden or Italy. The tolerance of the US system towards this in the respective states is honestly what bothers me. I feel like all these young girls were ultimately failed by the system that enabled this to happen for generations. “It’s their world, leave them alone”.

Well, no if vulnerable and helpless children are getting raped.

The polygamists are nothing but opportunist taking advantage of a system that lets them do whatever the heck they want.

I refuse to believe that nobody could do anything about it, I just believe nobody cared enough about these girls to do anything.

Anyone knows where I can watch One of us is Lying on Netflix? I live outside the US so Peacock isnt an option and I have been dying to try and watch this show since I read half the book and loved it!

so basically; nicky hesitates > technically means rachel didn’t marry her soulmate > rachel becomes immortal (like the old man leaving marianne) and nicky and family is supposed to die.

after this is activated and nicky’s family starts dying

nicky weds rachel, so nicky should die (drawing a parallel to marianne)

questions:

why did rachel die? if she had to die to become a witness, why after the wedding? why make it look like she died because nicky married her?

why didn’t nicky die?

I just finished watching Something Very Bad Is About to Happen and I have QUESTIONS and things to just overall discuss/get out there because I feel like I understood the general idea but some parts made absolutely no sense to me😭

1. I’m super confused about how Rachel died and then immediately became the Witness. I get how the old man became the Witness because he explained it, but Rachel literally died and then just wakes up? Who was the man talking to before he died?

2.When she comes back and asks for her lighter, why does Nicky not react at all? Like your dead fiancée just walked in and you’re not even like “how are you alive?” Was he really just that traumatized?

3. What was the point of the foxes throughout the show? They kept showing them like they meant something and then it felt like nothing

4. The murderer podcast scene at the very beginning made me think the show was gonna be more centered on a murderer and it feels like it was abandoned. what was the point of that scene?

5. The baby scene at the beginning also confused me. Then later Nicky randomly says he knew the baby’s dad who punched him and he showed up at the wedding? i didn’t really understand the point of this scene either considering the baby car plot line went nowhere and they didn’t say anything about it for the rest of the show.

6. Also, what the HELL was up with Nicky’s dad and the dogs? Like why was he taxidermying them? Was it supposed to show he’s creepy or controlling, or was it just a random “weird horror” thing?

the whole curse storyline… to me it kinda felt like a lazy explanation for everything after the huge build up in the first 3 episodes, but I went with it. Honestly, Rachel made me angry the whole time lol she should’ve left when the family was FIRST weird.

I just felt like there are so many plotlines that just got dropped or am I overthinking it? I feel like the show had really cool ideas but then didn’t fully explain or follow through on a lot of them. Did anyone else feel this way or did I just miss a bunch of stuff?

did we ever find out why she wanted to be locked in that chest infront of the bed before they had sex? i’m still really confused as to what that was about or what the purpose was of it

Bloodhounds came out in 2023 and was one of the more popular non-english originals on Netflix. I enjoyed it very much and if you did as well, don't forget season 2 which just came out.

If you haven't seen it tho, I can wholeheartedly recommend S1. Bloodhounds is in a nutshell a simple good vs evil tale, but it sets itself apart with a uniqe blend of boxing action, male camaraderie and youthful exuberance - yes, not unlike reading a sports manga. Awesome fist-fights (none of that spinning taekwondo nonsense) are sure to thrill action fans, while two strong leads with genuine chemistry make the quiet moments equally engaging. Check it out if that sounds like your thing. Imma hit S2 now, have a good weekend fellas~

I need a series for a long plane ride. Is this show traditionally scary with jump scares and long hallway type scenes, or is it more of a disturbing mystery horror.

"Hey guys, my exam just got over, and I want to watch something.... Suggest some movies or series.. Here are the genres I'm interested in : witty, psychological, thriller, suspense, sci-fi, fantasy....."

I have no interest in boxing. I have never watched a boxing match, or a wrestling show, or anything remotely related to suggest that this is something they should push market towards me.

I don’t even mind if it’s prominent when I open the app.

But why on earth does it keep sending me emails about boxing/wrestling matches etc?

The only unsubscribe notification I still have on is recommendations for shows I might be interested in, which I want to keep if possible as I do like recommendations that match the things I watch.

But I fail to see how watching a live fight has anything to do with my watch history.

I suspect they paid a lot to get this Tyson fury fight and want to maximise their reach, but that is a (fairly typical in my opinion) huge mistake as my only resort is to completely unsubscribe from any of their emails, and I suspect many people do this when they get trash recommendations.

Hey all,

I’ve been testing Netflix playback stats on my Samsung S90D (using the built-in app), and I’m consistently seeing the same bitrate across different titles.

So far I checked:

• Stranger Things (2025)
• Frankenstein (2025)
• The Art of Sarah (2026)

All of them sit at around ~11 Mbps in 4K HDR (HDR10+).

What’s interesting is:

• Bitrate stays very stable
• Doesn’t increase in complex scenes
• Same result across completely different types of content

This makes me think it might be a device/app-level cap rather than content-dependent encoding.

Is anyone else seeing similar behavior on Samsung TVs or other platforms?
Curious if Dolby Vision devices (like Apple TV or LG OLEDs) get higher bitrate tiers.

Would love to hear your findings 👍

Hey!

Edit: just few shows got sound. Truly can’t understand why

Wanted to watch some one piece on my Apple TV using Netflix. Don’t know why I can’t hear anything in any show or movie. Specific for Netflix.

Anyone who’s what can make that happen? Thanks!

Can’t believe we are paying to much money for those platforms having so many bugs.

Hey guys, I have got through all the movies I’ve wanted to on Netflix and the last couple I have watched just haven’t been good. I can definitely tell I’m running out of movie ideas. It doesn’t have to be the greatest movie in the world, but any suspenseful movie that will keep me on the edge of the seat or get nervous is what I’m looking for. I don’t know if this helps much but some suspense movies that I have seen on Netflix that I really liked were Straw, Fall, and Fractured. Please comment below any movies that you really did enjoy and that could keep me nervous and wondering on Netflix.

Doesn’t really matter the rating or genre!!

Concerning "Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen"

This is such a good show in my opinion. So intelligent, so cognitively demanding of the viewer: it keeps you guessing, keeps you looking, makes you reflect danger and perspective (as opposed to conventional "horror" where everything is catered to you so you dont have to do any work at all - it´s insulting).

I love it, it´s feminist, it´s freeing: Rachel marries herself in the end and no matter where that road of immortality and being a ghostly witness herself takes her now: she is free, she has herself. Horror from a female perspective can be so powerful and even healing. We dont have enough of that in mainstream, but its so obvious: Who if not the marginalized and opressed can put into perspective and really convey where danger and fear lies. And simultaniosly, if the character gets to be lucky enough, it can also serve as an example, an inspiration, even instructions to free yourself too from what is keeping you small.

(Also being surprised by Victoria Pedretti´s appearance halfway through made me tear up with joy - I simply adore her work)

The ending - leaving behind what wasn´t right for you and marrying yourself, choosing yourself as witness and companion - rejects every conventional resolution horror offers women: rescue, sacrifice, domestication, or death. Immortality as liberation rather than curse is a genuinely subversive flip.

Shivers and Awe.

1. The Performance

A major point of contention is the acting style of Anna Cathcart. While her "theatre kid" energy worked as a side character, it becomes exhausting as the focal point.

Over-Animation: Her acting relies heavily on exaggerated facial expressions and "quirky" physical comedy. On a screen where she is the lead, this can feel like she is constantly "performing" rather than inhabiting a real person.

The "Disney" Factor: The performance often feels stuck in a Nickelodeon or Disney Channel sitcom style—loud, frantic, and perpetually upbeat—which clashes with the more grounded, cinematic acting of the Korean supporting cast.

2. The Character: Meddling and Entitled

The very traits that made Kitty "cute" as a younger sister become major character flaws when she’s a teenager.

Main Character Syndrome: Kitty operates on the assumption that the world revolves around her romance and her "mission." She frequently invades people's privacy and meddles in complex family dynamics under the guise of "helping," showing a lack of respect for boundaries.

The "Savior" Complex: There is an annoying undertone of an American teenager arriving in Seoul and assuming she can "fix" everyone's problems, which can come across as culturally tone-deaf and arrogant.

3. The Plot: Trope Overload and Logic Gaps

The story often sacrifices logic for the sake of forced drama and K-drama clichés.

The "Stalking" Hook: The entire premise relies on Kitty flying across the world to surprise a guy she barely knows, which feels less "romantic" and more "obsessive" in a modern context.

The "Secret" Fatigue: The plot is heavily reliant on "accidental eavesdropping" and characters refusing to have basic conversations. This leads to circular drama that feels manufactured rather than organic.

Convenient Coincidences: From finding her mother’s secret history to the way she manages to stay at the school despite constant rule-breaking, the "plot armor" is so thick that it removes any real stakes.

4. The Aesthetic: A "Pinterest" Version of Korea

For those who enjoy authentic K-dramas, XO, Kitty can feel like a shallow, "Westernized" imitation.

Surface-Level Culture: The show uses Seoul more as a pretty backdrop or a "Pinterest board" rather than engaging deeply with the actual culture.

The Language Barrier: The way the school is portrayed—where everyone speaks perfect English and follows Western social norms—strips away the "international" feel, making it feel like just another American high school show that happened to be filmed in a different zip code.

Ultimately, the show sits in an awkward middle ground: it’s too "kiddy" for the original fans who have grown up, and too trope-heavy for viewers looking for a fresh take on the teen rom-com. It creates a "perfect storm" of annoyance where the character's meddling nature, the actress's hyper-active delivery, and the thin plot all feed into each other.
