Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

but it's FROTHY. i got that word from the new york times.

there's a brand new Voltron season.

Netflix sucks for old westerns though. there are five and they are all from the 60's. that's pretty sad.

The first suggestion was a Norwegian show about Russia and climate change, has anyone seen it?

Yes! It is very good.

Santa Clarita's first ten minutes are more amusing than expected and the actress playing Drew Barrymore's daughter is impressively similar to her.

I love the premise of Occupied but it felt to me like they were stretching a novel into an entire series. I lasted maybe 5 eps?

omg

"Yes! It is very good.

Thanks, I'll give it a go

Started occupation tonight, by chance

I hear santa clarita is better by episode four, may just skip to there.

forks otm. there's a sudden shift in quality at episode four, and from that point it's legitimately well-acted and engrossing and funny.

Quick poll: Which of these films should I watch on Netflix?

Appropriate Behaviour
The Clan
Into The Inferno
Jack Reacher
Days Of Heaven (again)
The End of The Tour
Love
I Am Divine
It Happened One Night
Amanda Knox documentary
Mean Streets (again)
The Odessa File

it happened one night

yah

Agreed.

I am Divine is not very good.

If you know anything much about Divine then the doc is pointless.

enjoying Schitt'$ Creek! i don't know what took me so long. Catherine O'Hara is heaven.

US Netflix sounds so much better than the UK one...

Bah!

I liked End of the Tour a lot, Jason Segel just killed it.

I ended up watching Michael Mann's "Thief" with James Caan which I had never seen before. Awesome flick!

classic! love Thief

Thief was one of the first movies i ever saw where i went out the next day and got the soundtrack for it. my dad took me to see it.

i've not checked in a while, but the us netflix used to be choc-a-block with cheap garbage to pad the catalogue. unogs indicates the difference in number of titles isn't as huge as it once was.

I pretty much just watch non-U.S. television shows on Netflix, something that is still novel and exciting to me

Just watched the first two eps of The Bureau tonight, so much intrigue already. If you liked Okkupert Sarah, you'll love this even more.

Call of Heroes! So awesome. If you are the kind of person who just wants to occasionally see a completely awesome new martial arts movie, watch that one. All killer no filler!

why did time travel have to become the new zombies? i hate time travel.

also, remember to watch Call of Heroes! so good.

Love is one of the most boring movies ever made, but it's got a striking sex scene at the end set to Carpenter's "Assault on Precinct 13" score.

that is one of the few movies that I recommend seeing in 3d

warning though, it fly at u face

this is on Hulu but i already know i'm gonna watch all of This Is Us. watched 2 episodes last night. i'm such a sucker for that stuff. Mandy Moore + Jess from Gilmore Girls and a cast of thousands. like Boyhood meets Parenthood. first episode was so good! if you are me. totally cornball.

I read it got criticized at the time for sounding so unsuitable. Of course now, it sounds just right.

show a: don't touch anything or you will change history forever

show b: every time you travel backwards everything resets itself, so it's fine, relax

show c: you can only go backwards

show d: time travel will make you sick and/or cause you to gradually deteriorate

show e: you can bounce around in time all you like and it's fine

show f: you should never ever meet yourself (unless i meet myself which is fine, or unless i say so which is also fine)

all these loosey goosey ladida time travellers should be hauled away by the dept of temporal investigations & held in front of some kind of nuremberg for time travel crimes

barry allen should be put to death imo

i love time travel btw

me too, but the various and contradictory rules are exhausting

I had to stop watching Timeless bc it was so handwavey
woman timetravels, gets back & her sister no longer exists. (!) alarmed, she tells her superior overseeing her timetravel mission & superior is like eh nbd
next time she returns from timetravels she suddenly has a fiancee she never had before & she's like UM?
and they're still like ehhh dont worry

I NEARLY KICKED MY TV OUT THE WINDOW

I'd try to determine if the fiancé was any good bmore fore I passed judgment

lol

bad typo correct there but you get it

the one with will from will & grace is kinda funny. he's an unlikely serious future traveler for some reason. or i can't take him seriously because he's will i guess. too bad jack was busy. jack as future traveler would be a hoot.

yeah the handwaviness is the biggest problem in time travel, sooner or later the story/world will bump into its own set of rules and just go "eh"

xp that's my next one to watch, but every time travel thing is a time investment because they necessarily get so deep and involved

VG's description of that show makes me actually want to watch it lol

you're part of the problem obv

:)
