Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

Pillsbury owns the Bake Off trademark

xxpost Scott my favorite from that season is Ruby, her low self esteem makes me love her like my adopted daughter

Howard is adorable

fuckit, I'm starting a thread

everyone is so NICE. that's what i can't get over. such a therapeutic show

no drama + actually being able to watch enough of the process to understand how things are made are exactly why this show is so great

can't watch it in australia unless you give money to rupert murdoch, huge fan of sue perkins though (which is not so relevant now obv)

i started a thread but i cant link it itt so just go to SNA or whatever

AA, have you watched 'Insert Name Here', which she hosts? Most of it is on youtube, pretty entertaining

The same producers have a pottery show now which is equally lovely and human. All the contestants pull together to make sure everyone gets their stuff done on time, the judges sometimes well up when stuff is particularly good, and you learn a lot about how pottery is made. It's good stuff. They had a sewing one as well, but that hasn't been recommissioned. I think the mechanics of sewing just don't make great television.

this is pretty good! like qi with less reverence.

netflix could really do with a panel show or two. bill nye should be great but it's not quite the same thing.

I'm getting stuck into Ken Burns' "Civil War" (American Civil War, that is) 12 part documentary

The indomitable David Yow appears as a bad guy on your netflix in the form of a movie entitled I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore. There is a critical scene in the movie in which his character claims that eating cat meat turns you invisible. All of the other scenes in the movie are excellent as well.

This was good. The writer/director Macon Blair is the creative partner of Jeremy Saulnier (Blue Ruin, Green Room) and he's definitely mining the same seam.

you guys should really watch HAP AND LEONARD.

also HAP should really play sad drunk jack kerouac living with his mom in a movie. he's a dead ringer.

have we seen Gantz 0?

i think i watched the trailer and it looked too much like a video game for me.

when i'm done with HAP AND LEONARD i'm gonna watch the first season of INTO THE BADLANDS. which is the walking dead with samurais instead of zombies.

Loved Hap & Leonard and looking forward to the second season.

Episode 4 or 5 was one of the most intense bits of TV I'd seen since Breaking Bad.

iron fist is getting hammered, but they put scott buck in charge so tbh i'm not sure what people were expecting

Second series of Love released today. 4 episodes in so far - seems very watchable.

i wish there were more than 6 episodes of into the badlands. 6 is too few. 30 episodes would have been better.

Im late to the party but Im 5 episodes in and My Crazy Ex Girlfriend is very funny

xp AMC was definitely dipping their toes in the water with that series, at least there's gonna be a second series now. I should go back and watch it, liked the first two eps and forgot to continue

Can someone confirm that this Netflix original David Brent movie that I didn't know existed is, in fact, shit so I don't feel compelled to watch it and spoil my opinion of an otherwise fantastic character?

it's really really shit

Netflix should have a background noise option that switches between non-fiction/reality TV shows - I don't want to listen to eight episodes of the same crappy low-budget TV in a row while working, but I don't want to have to think about switching either.

season two of angie tribeca on hulu! i know, i know, netflix thread...

also kinda want to watch black sails on hulu...young long john silver!

and season two of fargo is finally coming to hulu...

That netflix original david brent movie got cinema release in aus, was roundly loathed

i made it 15 minutes in. seems to be a vanity project with really shit music that's supposed to come across ironic but is just shit.

I binge watched all four seasons of Vikings since the turn of the year and was surprised how good it was (always thought it would be some sub-Spartacus shit).

I'm now watching Black Sails and it's...ok. Struggling to get through the second season at the moment and thinking of switching to Hell On Wheels instead.

i watched the first two episodes of Black Sails today and enjoyed them. we'll see how far i get.

i watched the first two seasons of Vikings and then stopped. i think. something like that.

i'm okay with stopping these days. i'll watch a season or two of something and sometimes i've seen enough. that definitely happened with me and hell on wheels. enjoyed it for 2 or 3 seasons and then just couldn't take watching them be the world's worst criminals anymore. but it was fun for awhile.

there are some things i just have an infinite appetite for. i could watch 400 episodes of The 100. even though it's totally dumb.

for instance i really like longmire and rectify but i watched the first 3 seasons (i think?) of both and i'm good.

(i actually started watching battlestar with maria and cyrus and i don't know if they will watch the whole thing. we'll see. i've always wanted to watch the whole thing with someone but the kids were either too young or maria wasn't feeling it. they already talk way too much during episodes and i have to pause the show 50 times an episode but i try really hard not to be a show nazi about it. i watched that whole show in perfect silence by myself about 5 or 6 years ago. definitely in my top five t.v. shows. top two? i dunno. it inspired me in a big way.)

I love Vikings so much. Plus I think the hair, costume and general production design on that show approaches Game of Thrones levels of excellence.

I tried to watch Last Warrior, but it just makes me sad that I'm not watching Vikings and I keep giving up.

Last Warrior?

Do you mean the Last Kingdom Bernard Cornwell adaptation that BBC did?

The post-Ragnor Vikings is still excellent imo. His ex-wife and his little bickering bastard kids have totally re-energised the show.

Vikings definitely a cooler Hell On Wheels.

oh yeah, Last Kingdom I guess is what I meant. Is it good? Should I persevere?

there are some things i just have an infinite appetite for. i could watch 400 episodes of The 100. even though it's totally dumb.

I'm a total fan of this show now btw

I made a thread for Last Kingdom:

THE LAST KINGDOM

When we started watching Vikings we had the opposite of your problem i.e. we felt weird that we weren't watching The Last Kingdom.

I watched an ep of Ultimate Beastmaster. it was american gladiators without the evil gladiators. they were the best part :( i liked the international supporters, but then you've got terry crews saying generic bullshit over them.

Isn't it basically American Ninja Warrior?

Or I guess International Ninja Warrior..

beastmaster is good for one episode and after that is just a complete snooze.

i'm watching that 80's computer biz show and i like it! i like young kara thrace as a hotshot computer programmer with inner demons. also i liked when she chose who to fire based on who cheated their way out of a cave in an adventure computer game.

I couldn't get into Halt And Catch Fire and I swear that show was MY IDEA

i dig it. i have no idea if its accurate at all. but i didn't care if battlestar was accurate either.

I couldn't get past episode 1, with the ho ho dead armadillo bit and then the awful, badly written sex scene.

it gets better.
