We got a surprisingly good Dr. Suess cartoon that is actually HAND DRAWN that premiered on the streaming service Netflix.  "Green Eggs and Ham" premier on November 8th, 2019. Below is the series trailer for season 1, which is 13 episodes.  It's refreshing to see a hand drawn series.  It is also the most expensive series Netflix has paid for at $6.5 million an episode.  It is also hand drawn in studio in the United States by Warner Brothers Animation!  That poor studio hasn't had much to do lately, so giving them this project, it's clear they have a passion for animation still and want to do hand drawn unlike the execs who only want CGI.  Give it a watch.  Also attached below is a little review by well known Youtube, Saberspark.

First 8 minutes of the first episode as well!

Netflix has released Klaus and we've been waiting for this for about two years!  It's finally out and the animation does not disappoint!  Best of all, it's back to hand drawn traditional animation, and it's so beautiful!

Harvey Street Kids aka Harvey Girls Forever just got it's third Season released as Season 3 introduces Richie Rich to the show.

I still do have my hopes though of DreamWorks and Netflix making Harvey Street a franchise since DreamWorks now owns the rights to the Harvey comics series.

It's a shame.  The books and video games are great... but the new tv series?  Hmmm.  Even more sad most people can't see it because it's on a streaming service.  I bet it would do better on a network too... Netflix channel anyone?

Netflix's 'The Witcher' is one of the biggest shows in the US despite poor reviews from critics

Article

The show has a "rotten" 56% critic score on the review-aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes based on 57 reviews but a 93% audience score based on nearly 12,000 user ratings.

It's also one of the biggest TV shows in the US right now. "The Witcher," which debuted on December 20, was the third most in-demand original streaming series in the US for the week of December 18 to December 24, according to data provided to Business Insider by Parrot Analytics. It's behind only Netflix's megahit "Stranger Things" and Disney Plus' "Star Wars" series "The Mandalorian."

Parrot Analytics measures "demand expressions," its globally standardized TV-demand measurement unit that reflects the desire, engagement, and viewership of a series weighted by importance.

"The Witcher" is based on the fantasy novels by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski, which also inspired the hit video-game series. Henry Cavill stars as Geralt, a monster hunter.

Entertainment Weekly called the series a "borefest" and gave the series an "F" grade, though critic Darren Franich said he skipped to the fifth episode. The show's creator, Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, tweeted on Saturday, "Who do I care about? 'Professional' critics who watched one episode and skipped ahead? Or REAL fans who watched all eight in one day, and are starting their rewatch?"

Not all of the reviews have been bad. IndieWire's Ben Travers called "The Witcher" a "pretty entertaining spectacle." The New York Times' Mike Hale wrote that the show has a "lighthearted sense of humor" and that Cavill "brings a convincing physical presence and some wry humanity and emotional depth" to the series as the title character.

Netflix renewed "The Witcher" for a second season in November ahead of the show's premiere.
