My Take On Netflix


For the last 3 month I’m addicted to Netflix. First it was Chef’s Table (season 1), then Mindhunter, followed by Midnight Diner, The Big Family Cooking Showdows, Girlboss (not my taste but I keep on watched it until 6th episode), Kantaro the sweet toot salaryman, then banck to chef’s table (season 2).
What really captivate my attention is how clean and beautiful Netflix’s show their scenes, and how fresh their stories are. Take for example Midnight Diner. Its stories are quite short per episode, only 21 minutes long. Yet every story offer down to earth, familiar, but different take on everyday problem. And it was refreshing, simple. Nothing is too dramatic nor bland.
The Big Family Cooking Showdown is another enjoyable reality show. It is deemed boring by some critic, but I found some amusement in watching families cooking together, sharing love, laughter, and demonstrating teamwork between them. The champion wins because of the taste, which makes it unsurprising when an immigrant family became the Champion.
Chef’s Table, Netflix’s most coveted, most sought after, and most praised documentary tv series, is another feast to our eyes. Stories about chef and cook around the world, mostly 3-star Michelin Chef or very acclaimed chef, and how they evolve until they found the right taste makes it one of Emmy’s worthy winner. Sometimes their stories about helping and nurture their culture or local tribe, sometimes its about their struggle to figure out life. And sometimes its about how cooking make them  a better person. All shot beautifully, accompanied by a handful of european classic tunes.
Kantaro the sweet tooth salaryman is a guide to some Japanes popular desserts, along with restaurants that served them, wrapped in a classic Japanese working class drama. Aside from a Saveur style review, often its hilarious and over the top expression that resemble food themed anime (Yakitate Japan, Shokugeki No Souma) which draws viewers attention. This drama also teach ud about the importance of smart work for the sake of time efficiency. Aside from the dessert, this series also add some words of wisdom from classic era philosopher.
That’s my review of 4 Netflix’s series I’ve enjoyed so far. In the near future, i guess I’ll stick to Chef’s table. Haven’t finished its 2nd or 3rd season yet. Every show on Netflix really worth our money. If you enjoy high quality tv shows, go install and subscribe it. At the first month, we can enjoy it for free. I’ve only need to pay at 2nd month onward. Happy Netflix and Chill.

Bagus Serap Air

    Konsekuensi dari tinggal di kamar kos dekat pohon besar adalah kamar yang lembab. Begitu pula dengan kamar saya. Tepat di depan kamar menjulang pohon mangga. Kaum tetumbuhan setiap malam rajin mengeluarkan karbon dioksida dan uap air sepanjang hari. Tidak heran kamar saya menjadi lembab, rentan jamur, baju dan buku terancam lapuk.     Untuk itulah saya memerlukan desiccants alias penyerap lembab yang dapat menyerap uap air dengan kuat. Saya pun mencoba Bagus Serap Air varian 450 ml sekali pakai. Bahan Aktif yang digunakan ialah butiran kalsium klorida (CaCl). Hasilnya? Dalam waktu 30 hari satu wadah penuh terisi cairan air dan garam yang berasal dari kelembaban di kamar saya.

Teh Tarik

Bagi sebagian besar masyarakat Indonesia, minuman bernama teh tarik ini bisa dibilang barang baru. Minuman yang berasal dari campuran teh hitam dengan susu ini baru dikenal awal tahun 200an, saat beberapa restoran menawarkan menu-menu ala negeri jiran, terutama Malaysia dan Singapura. Teh tarik biasa disajikan bersama roti bakar dan wafel di restoran-restoran ini.     Teh tarik sering rancu diartikan sebagai teh susu. Walau benar sebagian, ada perbedaan kecil antara teh tarik dan teh susu. Teh tarik adalah teh susu yang dituang bolak-balik di antara dua gelas besar sehingga menghasilkan cita rasa yang khas. Teh susu yang biasa disajikan di booth-booth berbagai merek teh biasanya hanya teh hitam dicampur susu yang dikocok beberapa saat dengan es batu.

The Last Ship

Sebuah virus yang lebih mematikan dari Ebola dan lebih menular dari SARS menyerang penduduk bumi. Belum ada vaksinnya. Penduduk dunia yang tewas karena virus bertambah dengan cepat dari hari ke hari. Harapan terakhir ada di pundak virolog Dr. Rachel Scott dan awak kapal USS Nathan James. Mereka berjuang mencari vaksin virus tersebut agar dapat segera diberikan kepada orang-orang yang terinfeksi. The Last Ship adalah tontonan yang tepat bagi wanita pencandu ketegangan tapi tidak ingin kehilangan hiburan wajah-wajah tampan. Marinir-marini kapal USS Nathan James adalah gambaran ideal pasukan angkatan laut. Taktis, kuat, gesit, lincah, serba bisa, dan lumayan punya rasa humor. Bagi para wanita, inilah salah satu serial yang memanjakan mata.
