It's hard to judge based on these synopses alone, but I'm interested in Luke Cage and Stranger Things. I need trailers for everything to get a better idea.

Not sure Frontier is exactly a Deadwood type "western". The 18th century fur trade was more like Revolutionary era powdered wigs plundering the Northwestern territories by sea.

I was excited for Jessica Jones but it was really disappointing. Hopefully Cage is better. Not much else other than the Gillian Jacobs show interested me based on the descriptions alone. I love that Netflix is doing all of this though. Combined with the returning shows, it should be enough to get me to keep my sub. all year.

[*]A Series of Unfortunate Events (Late 2016):

What is it? Based on the novels by Daniel Handler (aka, Lemony Snicket), "A Series of Unfortunate Events" focuses on three orphaned kids who fight to overcome their oppressive new "father," Count Olaf, as they search for the real reason for their parents' death.

I'll like it if I like..."Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events" (starring Jim Carrey) and/or Handler's popular novels.

Love the international stuff! Netflix just money-hatting random shit to see what sticks is the way to go, glad to see they're not trying to play it safe.

Anything I saw of 3% is more a mix of hunger games and THX1138 =P

In for this, 80s XFiles, Lemony Sniket, Daredevil season 2 and Luke Cage

Only interested in Luck Cage and A Series of Unfortunate Events.
Also fuller house, don't look at me]
Do we have a list of the shows making a return in 2016?

EDIT: Now that is a list thanks GK86

EDIT: Missed Stranger Things on the first read, hope it delivers.

Stranger Things (TBD 2016):

What is it? A love letter to the ’80s classics that captivated a generation, "Stranger Things" is set in 1983 Indiana, where a young boy vanishes into thin air. As friends, family and local police search for answers, they are drawn into an extraordinary mystery involving top-secret government experiments, terrifying supernatural forces and one very strange little girl. [official synopsis via Netflix]

Reading this game, I am in. Sounds like Twin Peaks meets X-Files.

Damn Netfix output is insane. This and the Disney deal kicking in next year means there should be plenty of content to keep us happy.

While nothing's been announced, it's almost unfathomable that they won't renew Master of None.

No longer boycotting the Wolfenstein franchise
Tentatively and/or vaguely interested in:

* Love
* Flaked
* The OA
* Lady Dynamite
* 3%

I'm most interested to see what The OA turns out to be. I thought Batmanglij and Marling's movie Sound of My Voice was fantastic, but their followup with The East was mostly a mess. Hopefully this is more the former.

I'll like it if I like... "The Last Starfighter," "E.T." or maybe "The X-Files" as a period thriller set in rural Indiana.

Is this a spiritual sequel to Eerie, Indiana?!

I know it's about new shows, I'm excited for them. That gif does not apply if I'm asking confirmation for older shows too to say how packed 2016 will be

I hope that Flaked will be good. Stuff starring Will Arnett usually seems to be hit or miss, but when it hits like with Arrested Development or Bojack Horseman it really really hits.

Netflix makes money right? Its amazing how they can afford to put out this much original content. I really hope they stick around for a very long time and continue to improve. There are not many better ways to spend $8 a month.

3% and Frontier sound kinda interesting, the rest don't sound good to me at all but I suspect many will surprise me - I loved some of the stuff Netflix put out last year like Narcos, Beasts of No Nation, Kimmy, F is for Family, and The Fall (BBC though I think) and all were based on recommendations from friends/forums.

Surprisingly i thought the last season of House of Cards was the worst and not looking forward much to the next. Also was very disappointed in Sense8 and Marco Polo, haven't watched any of the comic book shows yet.

Only Like Cage really interests me at a cursory glance. The great thing, though, is that I can just check them out when they're out with little investment!

Luke Cage will be cool probably and I'm interested in that Lemony Snickett show. The rest doesn't sound that interesting. Maybe Will Arnett's show will be cool, but I don't really like his stuff outside of Arrested Development and The LEGO Movie.

I keep forgetting Netflix are making a Series of Unfortunate Events show and I'm sure I'll forget right after leaving this thread again.
