Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

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.

i'm just glad eric schaeffer came and went decades before streaming networks were around, he'd have a show right now

Casual was unwatchable, love would be great if it were just about Mickey and her Australian roommate and wannabe-Woody was killed by an asteroid or something

p stoked for happy valley 2, i generally think uk dramas are total shit most of the time, nowadays often ineptly trying to ape golden age of tv american prestige cable programming but coming off amateur and try-hard but i just thought the first season was superbly acted, tense, beautifully shot etc. (one criticism: underclass psychopath villain was too handsome)

I watched all of Nikita a few years ago because action + spies
xp

i'm curious about Happy Valley!

Has French drama Les Revenants/The Returned been mentioned yet? I watched the first season a couple of years ago, very intriguing stuff. It's on Netflix Canada right now.

just showed up on netflix here, too

i bailed on the returned after one episode. with so much to watch i can be arbitrarily picky though. i can take all kinds of supernatural hijinx on t.v. but the reaction of the parents of the girl on that show made no sense to me and neither did the murder later. probably the first murder in that town in 500 years. like i said, arbitrary!

is the premise basically the inverse of The Leftovers? seems like there's crossover potential

dead people wake up and aren't dead anymore. and they don't know that they were dead. and they go about their business. and wonder what all the fuss is about. and there is this one creepy kid...

but then i stopped. i dunno, it's suitably moody. i just didn't feel like investing in it. there is an american version too.

The Returned was awesome and yes has a lot of weird similarities to The Leftovers, mostly an elk.

The american version, I watched 4 minutes. It was terrible.

is season 2 good?
