Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
View MoreTerrible acting, superficial depictions of relationships, creatively dry, nothing to say
View MoreI watched "Easy" based on two things; the reputation of Netflix and the quote, unquote "star -studded cast". Therefore, I went into the experience thinking good thoughts. Boy was I in for a surprise. Unlike most other Netflix Originals, "Easy" is dry, pointless and humorless. The plot lines are vague, the peoples lives are boring and trite, and the cast members in every episode but one are not stars. They are in fact largely marginal extras with speaking lines at best. Orlando Bloom is the biggest guest star in the whole series unless you count a multiple episode returnees to "Grey's Anatomy " a star or the sideshow brother in a Kristen Wiig film; which I do not. I only enjoyed two of the episodes, which is why they received anything above a "1" from me. Therefore, my "5/10" rating is also generous and this was completely based on how hot Orlando Bloom was in his episode alone. This is easily boring and easily missed.
View MoreI think this is one of the greatest Netflix shows, overall. It's so easy to relate to and get reflections from it, which make this show to be an artistic piece. Strong storytelling, you have to read between the lines something like Mad Men. Great casting, perfect location which matches the theme. I'm not a big fan of TV, but I finished this show in two sittings! And I believe I'm not the only one who experienced this. Episodes are short, 30 minutes each. The story follows you, you will think about it the day after and, naturally, you want to talk about it and all of these are signs to claim how engaging this show is, at least for young adults. Can't wait for the second season!
View MoreJoe Swanberg must've cashed in a lot of his indie cred to line up such an amazing cast for this N'flix series, though he stays true to his mumblecore roots with flat, functional dialogue (lift a glass of foamy craft lager every time somebody says "Awesome!") and rambling, open-ended plot lines. Even if you're unimpressed by the first few episodes, hang on for Ep 5, starring Mark Maron as a dickish graphic novelist who gets punked by a sexy artgirl. The others range from merely watchable to totally involving---gorgeous, posh-voiced Gugu Mbatha-Raw is perfect as an ambitious actress at a romantic crossroads in Ep 6. Btw, I never thought we'd get to see a sex scene involving Orlando Bloom and Kate Micucci (the brunette half of Garfunkel and Oates); I'm guessing they didn't either.Season two is more of the same, which is mostly a good thing: the inarticulate craft-beer guys turn up for another dud episode, but OTOH Mark Maron's dickish graphic novelist is back, and the package-thief and open-marriage sexcapade eps are especially entertaining.
