Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

I understand why some people wouldnt want to see it but I'm glad i did.

Anyone started in on the second season of Sense8 yet?

Watched the first hour of the opening episode and it was a bit of a mess

i enjoyed the first season then watched that steaming pile of shit christmas special thing and i'm very hesitant to go back

I think the Christmas one is the one I've watched half of.

kimmy schmidt is up

i couldn't believe how bad school for scoundrels was. i only watched about 35 minutes. that's all i could take. one of those movies that is kinda weirdly unfunny. like, how did they get the tone so wrong? billy bob. napoleon dynamite. people acting dumb and getting hit in the balls. what could go wrong? i can't imagine what people thought if they saw this at the movies. people must have walked out.

wait, did you guys talk about The Overnight on here?

EVERYONE on this thread should watch that. so short and sweet. and funny.

don't know if its on non-U.S. Netflix though.

I'm watching a terrible horror movie, Would You Rather.
Starring: Brittany Snow (who is incredibly familiar but I've never seen anything she was in that's listed on her wiki page), a porn star and DeAngelo Barksdale and a character actor doing his best Vincent Price impression.

Props for the appopriate subject matter, though, every game of Would You Rather that I've witnessed has devolved into open sadism.

seriously, watch The Overnight.

ok well i watched ep 1 of The Keepers and it's 100% vg bait

Get Me Roger Stone is pretty essential.

It's on Hulu but the documentary "Batman and Bill" about Bill Finger one of the co-creators of the character is sad but worth checking out.

Get Me Roger Stone was excellent. Shadow Of A Doubt is also good but pretty harrowing

did you guys watch The Overnight yet? curious what people think. i differ with people on ilx about comedy sometimes though....

it's short. did i mention that? like 79 minutes or something....

Silicon Cowboys, basically Halt and Catch Fire S1 the documentary (to the point where they use scenes from H&CF to fill time in between the talking heads spots). The story and the protaganists aren't really that interesting but it did draw my attention to this classic of the corporate rap genre:

Schitt's Creek has moved up from "Eh, I'll give it a go," to "Score! New episodes!" in my estimation. Also, I watched the Overnight for you, Scott (not true, I'd already seen it). It is surprisingly good.

" i can't imagine what people thought if they saw this at the movies. people must have walked out."

I don't think anyone saw this in a theater at all. in fact I think you may be the only person to have watched any of this movie at all.

ok well i watched ep 1 of The Keepers and it's 100% vg bait

You were the first person I thought of.

My girlfriend (raised Catholic/went to Catholic schools, thus her interest) and I basically just binged it all last night and today. It's quite something.

"Also, I watched the Overnight for you, Scott (not true, I'd already seen it). It is surprisingly good."

i was afraid nobody here would watch it! so good. and unpredictable too which i appreciated.

so, i repeat, you other guys should watch it.

I had to ease off bingeing The Keepers, it got to be a lot to sit with after a while. But yeah it's pretty interesting.
It is edited a little strangely though, kind of meanders in a way that I have found a bit frustrating at times.

season three of bloodline is up and i couldn't remember if i had watched season two so i watched the season two trailer and i still can't remember if i watched it. i think i did? maybe i don't need another season.

Hasan Minhaj's Netflix special was an intimate and very funny stand-up special

Yeah gets repetitive at times but damn those women are so strong dealing with some truly awful shit

Xp keepers

new sarah silverman, latest season of American Crime and Doctor Strange

I wanted to like Keepers but Jane Doe came across as an FMS victim for the middle half of the series (at least) and was only vindicated near the end - although as per Making A Murderer and some of the truthbombs revealed here about that, we have to remember we're being shown one specific point of view and all the editing supports that. The Baltimore Police guy's reaction when being told about the DNA and the cigarette butt, for example, didn't look natural at all. Maybe it was because I binge watched it, but it seemed to cover the same ground so many times between eps 3-5, maybe 3-6 that I lost track of who was supposed to have delivered what bit of 'proof'.

(I mean the priest did at least some of it, obviously, I'm not disputing that. I guess I just have some questions about his abusive behaviour that don't sound completely right to me and this probably isn't the place to go into.)

The pretty good documentary on the artist Chris Burden is now on UK Netflix.

maria and i watched the sarah silverman special with rufus and it totally embarrassed rufus to watch it with us. i told him he should have left! oh well what's childhood without a little mortification? my father took me to that first richard pryor concert movie when i was 11! talk about shock and awe. all i remember is some late-night fever dream of vibrator jokes and adults around me dying from laughter.

anyway, sarah's special is really, uh, cum-heavy.

also, it really looks like she put some sort of greta garbo filter on the camera or did some post-production work. but maybe its just the bright lights. she is spectral white in that thing.

and he took me to the second pryor concert film too but i was jaded by then and i remember feeling sad that rich was slower and more humble cuzza near-death.

is the Silverman special actually funny?

there are some funny parts. the story about her sister at college might be the best moment.

the part about her dog made me laugh too.

oh i finally watched that movie where david yow was the bad guy. that was good.

maria is watching new house of cards and i really don't want to watch it. the first season was enough for me.

this has also been one of the wort netflix months i can remember for new stuff. so much stuff i don't want to watch. maybe they are holding everything back for summer.

Re: Keepers -- I appreciated its structure, perhaps oddly, in that it reflected the truly thorny nature of the case: lots of frayed edges and potential blind alleys, no real sense that any explanation is ever going to be forthcoming, clear examples of institutional hesitation at best and obstruction at worst, and yet there are still victims, well beyond Cesnik herself (not to mention Malecki, of course). I think the fact that there is no final clarity to be had is, sadly, a strength of a presentation that by default only exists because horrible things happened.

The ace-in-the-hole of the final episode -- the introduction of the dentist and his story and the implications beyond that -- serves as a good bit of drama and summation as much as can be hoped.

My own thing I've wondered about the whole time -- what does the title mean? Keepers of a secret, keepers of a flame, 'my brother's keeper' -- perhaps it can mean many things.

my dad took me and my best friend to richard pryor live on the sunset strip whatever year that was. i was in middle school, tops, maybe grade school. what a night.

I have expressed my love for the 100 before. Haven't caught up with the last season yet though

but you should all still watch The Overnight!
