It's about right wing extremists in the middle of a pandemic. If I remember correctly, like 20 million people catch this contagious virus in 5 months and nearly 750k people die.
Basically they have this theory that 180 countries and all medical personnel on earth band together to totally make up information with the end goal of having a controversial leader lose an election in their own country.
It's a train wreck you just can't stop watching.

That's one crazy plot. I highly doubt anyone will ever buy into that plot anyway. It's too nutty.

If you have Amazon Prime, a couple of entertaining ones
Aug 11, 2020, 1:24 PM

are Fortitude, Guns Akimbo, Crawl, The Report, Dog Soldiers, The Handmaiden, Overlord(2018 one)
The Survivalist is really good, but not sure where available.
Uncut Gems with Adam Sandler IS on Netflix(your question) and it is excellent. The Kominskey Method is funny(love Alan Arkin) and Babylon Berlin is also very good.

Have you seen Old Guard?

Pretty good I mentioned it the other night.
Warrior Nun is interesting in a modern teen heroine sort of way

I am watching Mind Huhters again. It’s so good. Got the wife to watch too. That show has so much happening, I didn’t see or forgot more than half of the shows.

Most of the shows that I have watched were on a plane and I feel the same. Its like on that smaller screen and the noise of the plane and airports, its like I only catch half of what is going on. So I have been rewatching a lot.

I started watching The Umbrella Academy

1 epi into 2nd season, and I'm still not really sure if I like it or not....but here we are
So, my pandemic binging has included:
The Umbrella Academy (to the extent just mentioned)
Dark, 3 seasons - ###? good, but take notes. Good closure
Arrested Development, 5 seasons - why didn't I do that earlier?
Dead to Me, 2 seasons - dew like, looking forward to Season 3 (Carlsbad®, this might be my rec - only 30 min episodes, not a whole lotta commitment
Outer Banks, 1 season - good enough to keep my attention, will watch next season
Space Force, 1 season - i dunno. Having a character (nick)named F*&^ Tony, alone, makes it worthwhile
Money Heist, 4 seasons - good, but I'm a sucker for heists...euro-humor, which isn't great, dubbing sucks, deal with it
Ozark, Season 3 - Great, maybe my fav thing on 'tv', no surprise here
Tiger King - what trash. All around.
that's just series...and just Netflix

I liked Dark a lot, but season 3 fried my brain. I liked the ending a lot though.

so I endure it. Not terrible, and I'm in season two also.
Couple observations
-if 4.5% of the population is gay IRL, on the umbrella academy it's 45%.
-Klaus is not nearly as interesting a character as the writers think he is.
-The unlikable "kid" may be the only likable character.
