Aren’t movies great? Don’t answer that. It’s not a rhetorical question. Think of it more as a statement, only said in a way that sounds agreeable but actually isn’t. Now that we’ve established that we all like movies, isn’t beer great too? Again, don’t answer. You know the answer. We here at “Six Degrees of […]
Walking Dead – Season 4 From Jackson Lewis Compared to the rest of the series up to this point, season four of The Walking Dead is largely disappointing. The first five episodes are clearly filler, and many episodes afterwards serve little purpose other than exposition or portraits of characters that the audience has little reason […]
Death Note From Jackson Lewis If you’ve never watched anime before but have always been curious, Death Note is a great place to start. If you’re already an anime fan and you haven’t seen Death Note, that rock you’re living under must be gigantic. This mix of detective drama and supernatural thriller will have you […]
Gilmore Girls From Claire Rychlewski It is the moment we’ve all been waiting for. I say “we” because I know I’m addressing a smart, fun audience here. Gilmore Girls is FINALLY on Netflix. All seven seasons! In case you accidentally missed out on this gem of a show—I say “accidentally,” because that’s the only possible […]

Bernie From Jackson Lewis Watching a normally comedic actor in a dramatic role can be a thrill. Take Jim Carrey in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind or Will Ferrell in Stranger than Fiction or, in this case, Jack Black in Bernie. More often than not, I tend to think of Jack Black as more […]
Happy Valley From Dale Price Fans of British crime dramas are easily among the best catered to groups on Netflix, with Luther, Wallander, The Fall, Sherlock and more still popping up periodically. Happy Valley is the latest BBC drama to surface, and it’s another cracker. Starring Sarah Lancashire as tough police sergeant Catherine Cawood, the […]
Freaks And Geeks From Jackson Lewis If you are high school age or older and haven’t seen the 1999 classic Freaks and Geeks, you don’t really understand high school. Aside from having an all-star cast sporting Seth Rogen, Jason Segel and James Franco, the show’s roundabout path at its moral message will floor you. We’ve […]
Changing Lanes From Alex Lowe On a recent Ben Affleck binge (yes, that’s something I do), I came across Changing Lanes on Netflix. Touted as a thriller and co-starring Samuel L. Jackson, I figured I didn’t have much to lose by giving it a shot. What happened next was an absolutely thrilling 90 minutes. I […]
