Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

I love Archer, all of it
Couldn't get into Bojack Horseman
Will Arnett show made me want to punch all the guys in the balls, fuck that show, maybe if it were a cartoon parody of itself it'd work

wow, rrrrrobyn loves archer too? maybe i'll have to watch it. sad that ian's word wasn't good enough, but he's a dodgy brooklynite.

when ppl are not sure about archer i suggest they watch the SKYTANIC episode because it is a neat package of things that Archer does well -- spy movie parody, the hilarity of infidelity, and also history jokes.

If archer is like always sunny in Philadelphia then I will hate it with a white hot hate. Didn't someone say it was like always sunny?

it's less mean than always sunny, but perhaps more risque.

lol I wondered when rrrobyn was going to show up to divulge her Archer love

I'm not sure why, but I get occasional Sealab 2021 vibes from Archer. Maybe it's the spy uniforms.

Sealab had the same creator, Adam Reed.

oh, duh

have I ever mentioned how much I loved Sealab?

i usually don't like most shows where everyone is mean to each other Archer is just so entertaining to me. I also like that each episode is an ADVENTURE and the jokes are snappy and a mix of highbrow, pop culture and toilet humour. Also I like the illustration style and the actors.

Netflix admissions of shame: I watched all of White Collar (it took a while), partly because each ep is an adventure and partly because it reminded me of a squeaky clean network version of Archer or something, so my mind filled in the show's boring aspects with an imagined Archer background.

xp hahaa robyn save an archer

<3 sealab <3

i enjoyed archer a lot but missed a couple of seasons and haven't felt the urgency to catch up. it's not nearly as much "get a load of these assholes"'as the other "get a load of these assholes" shows which tbh i've kinda had my fill of (unless they bring some else/more to the table like broad city). if you enjoyed koth you'll like bob's burgers a lot i think, lotta warmth underneath it all. i got hulu so i keep meaning to watch more criterion collection but instead i just end up watching agent carter.

also if you don't enjoy the dumb animal jokes and the showbiz humor i don't know if i would recommend keeping on keeping on w/ bojack but that thing is the most surprisingly accurate depiction of depression i can think of right now, really hits you out of left field.

Netflix admissions of shame: I watched all of White Collar (it took a while)

No shame!!! White Collar was a FAR better show than it had any right to be given the channel it was on!! The dialogue was always snappy, the timing was amazing, and Thiessen ALONE was a revelation. Her relationship w hubby Peter Burke made that show live and breathe.

I mainlined that shit up until the latest season, when I swear something had to have happened because everyone started acting totally out of character and just delivering lines all over each other that made no sense. I tried to stick it out but I was so offended and embarrassed for the characters as if they were real people behaving badly.

It really was far better than it had a right to be, yes! There was some great writing/plot developments going on in several episodes in the middle seasons too. Also it's in NYC = bonus points.

I don't know why I called him her "hubby," I hate that word. It's that they are exactly the kind of square couple that would probably call each other that and other stupid names (I think they do actually??) and you still love them. Despite being the "bad" establishment figures compared to the swashbuckler/hero con-man, you just love TAT and Burke so much.

Partly because if you have ever been a boss you probably hate Neal so much.

i watched almost all of burn notice til i checked out in the last season. it went from a breezy romp to a show about feelings and serious things kind of quickly towards the end, that wasn't what i wanted from that show.

i also watched a lot of sons of anarchy, probably the most garbage "acclaimed" cable show of recent years.

I loved the first two seasons of Burn Notice! And then stopped watching

I was watching that terrible show Shadowhunters - genuine Netflix of shame - and my bf yelled out, kind of incredulously, from the other room "It sounds like you're watching total garbage!" Teen tv garbage filmed in Toronto and featuring many vampires etc with Canadian accents! So bad.

Sons of Anarchy was some hot, hot garbage, I'd make it through half the last couple of seasons and give up and then grudgingly watch them when they hit Netflix.

i made it through as much burn notice and SoA as i could but those things go on forever.

also the jim caviezel one with Lost dude. watched a bunch of those but there was no way i could do like 7 seasons.

sometimes i have self-destructive impulses and say things like: i'm gonna watch all 10 seasons of Supernatural! and i make it through like 6 shows.

helen has been watching american horror story and i think i hate it more than anything else.

yeah i could never watch that.

the refrigerator for the women on Sons of Anarchy was huge, never seen such a big fridge.

and then she has the nerve to give me a hard time for watching Bosch. xp

i should give quantico another try. i only watched the first two episodes. and the lead actress in that show is uh...arresting.

lol

xxp - SoA killing an entire brothel's worth of women and then just repainting and hiring new women within like a week was a new, special kind of refrigerator

the first AHS was... not godawful.

Archie Panjabi, Hannah Simone, and Priyanka Chopra the three most hotsy totsy women on american televison. Go India!

sons of anarchy wiki on Kiki

Kiki is first seen after Nero Padilla talks to Colette Jane about how unintelligent she is. She is later seen throughout the episode working at the desk, until she goes up to Colette and tells her that the "calculator keeps giving me the wrong answers", reinforcing the fact that she really is unintelligent.

sons of anarchy got on my last nerve just because they are so BAD at being criminals. they couldn't do anything illegal without a major bloodbath. shades of the sopranos there. sometimes i just want a heist to go well.

Vikings is kinda the better Sons of Anarchy.

speaking of james franco, i have no interest in the JFK time travel show on Hulu. i kinda hate time travel/alternate histories though. unless it's Bill & Ted.

yeah the SoA dudes were terrible crooks and Sutter was such a try-hard showrunner w/r/t shocking shit.

also i was fascinated by that Waco motorcycle gang gun battle last year, i was thinking how much more interesting it was than anything that ever happened in SoA.

poor j-lo, does anyone watch her cop show? it's on hulu. i love j-lo! but it looks tedious. everyone looking for that t.v. retirement account. not that i blame them. good work if you can get it.

all i know about the J-Lo cop show is that ray liotta is a crooked bisexual cop

i love them both! still looks tedious. and i'm someone who watched like four seasons of blue bloods.

I have some weird compulsion to watch american horror story. i think it's leftover stockholm syndrome from being taken to broadway musicals.

just watched season two of bosch on amazon when i was sick over the weekend, pretty enjoyable if a little weak. surprise matthew lillard casting!

gave up on SoA after that Ireland season, looks like i dropped out at the right time

totally agree on Burn Notice, lost too much of the fun. i forget exactly when I gave up, but it was probably around the second or third time Michael was allowed to come back to the CIA but everything went wrong again

something about Suits and White Collar just really turned me off. they seemed like fine above-mediocre shows, i just didn't enjoy them

also def. on board with that self destructive impulse to sit down and watch all of American Horror Story and Supernatural, someday

sons of anarchy is unredeemably bad and i feel bad for having watched it

burn notice has greatly diminishing returns but if you view it as an extended car commercial, it delivers more laughs

"when you're trying to make a getaway, you want a car that isn't too flashy but can make it around tight turns and can really accelerate"

*camera zooms in on back of car with hyundai logo*

Suits is my USA network guilty pleasure but not for either of the two lead dudes

I'm trying to remember what the name of this other cable detective show was in the last couple years. Just watched the first season and it was really boring, but the two detectives were very attractive. I think I just called it "attractive detective show" and I could kind of zone out and drink a couple beers
looked it up: "Murder in the First" with Kathleen Robertson and Taye Diggs. lol

oh yeah, I will also admit to watching Bates Motel. it's ok! probably going to completely jump the shark this season

Ah I might watch that.

Hahaa Supernatural... I watched 6 episodes too! now it sits in My List with all the rest of the things I don't want to watch but was like maaaybe...
