- actionfromafar 4y agoAnd also, is there a movie named "Army Soldier II" with Ryan Reynolds in it, or was I just supposed to understand an oblique reference to something else?
- isleyaardvark 4y agoMaybe this piece is meant to be fictional, as though it was written in a possible near-future? Nothing shows up on IMDB or internet searches.
- nottorp 4y agoIt's not like Netflix productions are distinguishable from one another. But in this case I guess they didn't want to get sued.

You can look it up on Google maps, it's 21 India St, Brooklyn, NY 11222. It seems fine to me? Not particularly nice, but I'd take it over brutalism or international style buildings any day of the week. If anything, I'd say that modern buildings are a lot more pleasant than those that were being built in the 60's and 70's.
- anigbrowl 4y agoPerhaps this was for legal reasons. In the Bay Area there's a rash of similar-looking apartment buildings that all have names like 'The something'. Some marketroid noticed that locals often substitute short nicknames for formal 'The Xyz Building' titles, so they could give the sense of a neighborhood by branding the apartment building with a cutesy nickname. One of these days they'll accidentally get it right and name one of these glass and steel cubes 'The Borg.'
