Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

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...

I started reading books again

so none of you guys watched that movie about the gender-confused alcoholic former child star who pretends he's a guidance counselor and gets a job in a canadian high school? i liked that one. on netflix.

lilyhammer?

season two of Happy Valley!

i loved burn notice so much, it was so dumb & fun. got super boring in the end :/

soa was a guilty pleasure too, p much unsupportable but still <3

season 2 of happy valley v good! and as happy as ever

very excited about season 2 of happy valley. season 1 was some of the of the best tv i've ever seen.

i watched Headhunters tonight. the Norwegian movie. i enjoyed that. based on a jo nesbo book.

New Will Arnett show is unwatchable dreck, even worse than Love

Any of y'all watch Nikita? Some stuff I read suggested that the show just got better as it went on and ramped up to awesome in the final season. But I'd still like more input before committing to multiple seasons of a show I know very little about.

LOVE is mostly pretty good, but i get why people might not like it.

i started You're the Worst while working from home the other day. now THAT is fucking dreck. i still watched most of the season, but it's bad. ppl say good things about season 2 though. will see if i can hate-watch that far.

Casual is still worse than any of them. to me anyway. i just find the people in it icky.

the thing that bugs me about Love is the dude who co-created the show gets to live out his woody allen fantasies or whatever by starring in it and its a little gross but that's what comedy writers do when they get to act in stuff that they make.
