Kate HenshawGUEST
I Will Find You, uh, one of the Harlan Coben adaptations, is apparently Netflix's most watched show this year so far.
Kate HenshawGUEST
But, I mean, the other ones, The Night Agent, Man on Fire, Teach You a Lesson, some of these I haven't even heard of.
Kate HenshawGUEST
And actually Stranger Things has crept into the list as well, which isn't even from this year and had a pretty marked drop-off in quality towards the end of its run as well.
Kate HenshawGUEST
So, so not really setting the world alight anymore.
Tonya MosleyHOST
He won an Emmy for playing Dr. Manhattan in HBO's Watchmen and earned a Tony nomination for his Broadway debut in Topdog/Underdog.
Tonya MosleyHOST
This year, he also starred in and served as executive producer of Netflix's Man on Fire, stepping into the role of John Creasy, a part Denzel Washington made iconic.
Tonya MosleyHOST
Is it true that your dream since you were a child was to be a city planner?
Yahya Abdul-Mateen IIGUEST
Was to be an architect.
Steve StebbingGUEST
So, yeah, this is based on a true story.
Steve StebbingGUEST
This one has Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, who was just in the really great Wonder Man that was canceled this year, as well as the series remake of Man on Fire, which I enjoyed quite a bit.
Steve StebbingGUEST
Plays the lead character who is a young FBI agent, a black FBI agent, who is investigating the murders of civil rights leaders in the Mississippi area in the mid-60s.
Steve StebbingGUEST
And the FBI decides to do a little gray area work and pair a mafia hitman, played by Mark Wahlberg, with him to basically use force to get convictions.
speaker_3HOST
Yeah.
speaker_2HOST
Over at Netflix, they are producing a project called Man on Fire.
speaker_2HOST
They generated a breakout feature film based on Internet lore called Backrooms.
speaker_3HOST
Which is such a different vibe.
Angie MartinezHOST
He's done too many projects to roll through right now for the amount of time we have.
Angie MartinezHOST
But Aquaman, Us, Candyman, Wonder Man, Watchmen, Man on Fire.
Angie MartinezHOST
By any means.
Angie MartinezHOST
By any
Yahya Abdul-Mateen IIGUEST
It's good to be here.
Angie MartinezHOST
So last time I saw you was in Mexico City.
Angie MartinezHOST
You were on set of Man on Fire.
Yahya Abdul-Mateen IIGUEST
Yeah.
Amani RobertsHOST
So reading fiction, whether it be a mystery, romantic story, historical fiction, that's really good.
Amani RobertsHOST
And then I watch movies or TV shows, just like one of the ones I'm watching now is Man on Fire on Netflix.
Amani RobertsHOST
And then I want to add Lioness to my list, just watching kind of TV shows.
Amani RobertsHOST
I watch Silo.
speaker_1HOST
Yeah.
speaker_0HOST
Plus, they have upcoming Netflix projects like Age of Innocence and Man on Fire.
speaker_1HOST
Which is not a list of disposable reality television or quick low-budget teen dramas.
speaker_0HOST
No.
speaker_1HOST
That is a staggering portfolio of premium high-budget world-building.
speaker_0HOST
Right.
speaker_0HOST
Shows like See or a thriller like Man on Fire, those are massive, sweeping, expensive productions.
speaker_1HOST
Yes.
