Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

it touches on a lot of things that are really resonant for me (the total consuming and distorting nature of grief for instance) and it's beautifully shot

the invitation is worth seeing, imo, not really a 'horror' movie tho per se (part of it's appeal)

'don't kill it' was also pretty fun, but not on netflix

'he never died' was ok -- some ppl rated henry rollins' performance but i thought it was kinda whatever

i really want to watch 'the green room' again, the whole experience of seeing it with only a one-sentence plot setup (i very deliberately avoid trailers for horror/thriller movies) was so fucking great. it's one of the few movies i've seen in recent years that instantly made me want to watch it with someone else who's totally naive to it, just to see them react to it

has anyone seen "the devil's candy"? it's on my amazon watchlist

Under the Shadows is GREAT

Going to watch tonight

Pacific Rim AND Gravity have been added!! If I had a giant-ass TV I would be all over those

oh, hello on broadway

did anyone watch that new backwards caper movie yet? netflix exclusive? wait, i'll find the name....

Shimmer Lake! looks like it might be cool....

Riverdale, while it couldn't be mistaken for good, is entertaining background TV

I loved it

Would not have gone within 1000 yards of it if not for this thread though

riverdale is so too good soda how dare u

It makes me want CSI: Stars Hollow

ooh yes

Luke Perry and Skeet Ulrich and Madchen Amick were so good

I really like the Betty actress too

Yeah, Betty does a lot of good acting without great material. Apparently (according to my students) Jughead's "I'm weird speech" is a well-known meme. As it should be, though, because

He was great too obv

New(ish) Joe Swanberg movie w/ Jake Johnson and Keegan-Michael Key looks like it might be worth a watch

can recommend! it's good, way less aimlessly improv-ed than Drinking Buddies etc. I enjoyed it

Yeah it's v enjoyable

Finished season 4 of The 100. So many lols.

seasons 3 and 4 are the best. octavia power.

I started watching The 100 again with Maria. She's never watched it. They were such babies.

End of season 4 definitely has me anticipating already! hope it comes back. i don't even know if it is.

Man I can't wait to start 100.4

raven and octavia are my role models. they inspire me to be a better person.

From way back in the thread but yeah i thought the new Sarah Silverman special was great. Better than the new Louie imo

otm!

Never paid much attention to Silverman, but yeah that special was worthwhile.

The John McAfee documentary is a bit hack-y but it's such a bizarre story it doesn't really matter

Finished The Keepers last night. It was a great story, in parts, and it was a very good example of the shameless way the Catholic Church covers for the rapists it breeds, but I'm not sure it covered the murder very well. It raised a lot of questions, and I guess in the end pointed to that necklace guy?

I found myself losing a bit of patience with the way it signposted some events as conclusions or proofs. I also felt, understandably I guess, that it never really investigated the merits or demerits of suppressed memory evidence.

I don't doubt the abuse for a second, nor the scale of it, but it does seem like someone who's had such a vile and traumatic experience which their memory appeared to wipe for years presents a problem when it comes to their being a major solo witness in another crime, ie witnessing the body of Sister Cathy in the woods. The maggots thing I guess added credence but it didn't prove her story was true in the way the documentary attempted to show.

Be curious to know how others felt but it left me a bit confused in the end. It was hard to tell what the documentary makers thought happened. I also didn't like the sort of religious/seer feeling to "who knows when I'll remember something else" etc in the last episode, but again I don't know enough about the psychiatry of suppressed memory to know, the show touched on it but only in a highly personalised way about the evil hateful state doctor with some random AN Other saying "we should never ignore our blind spots"

It was a nicely made doc and it had some really sensitive interviews, it suffered a bit from the story having no conclusion to it.

Watched "Under The Shadow" the other night. V good, enjoyed having a ghost story in a non traditional setting

Got the feeling that the setting did a lot of the heavy lifting and in the end there wasn't much to it. Still good tho.

loved Mr. Gaga. had never heard of him. know nothing about dance. would watch again. so beautiful.

h, hello on broadway

"the police? that's who YOU are!!!"

not sure if I was into On Hello, but watched the whole thing anyway. Don't think these guys are my cup of tea

i was a huge Kroll Show fan so it's like an early xmas gift

i thought it was hilarious but i like both those guys

I admit I'm kinda drunk but I'm watching it right now and can barely breathe

def found some of the lines pretty hilarious

xpost "Too Much Tuna" had that effect on me tho when I first saw it

The only new stuff appearing on Netflix Australia recently is a barrage of dodgy Bollywood barrel scrapings

stuff from korea and taiwan too. guessing they want to get a foot in the door of a wider range of households and/or netflix's local content deals in those countries confer broader global rights.

they've always done that here. lots and lots of Korean and Turkish and Indian programming on U.S. Netflix. it's smart!

and it usually is a deluge. just tons of programming from one place/region in one day.

oh, hello on broadway was hilarious though I was disappointed that Dog Giamatti didn't make an appearance.

Orange is the New Black was good again.
Wonder how long until the next season. Want to know what happens after the end.

Meanwhile there was a trailer for GLOW which appears to be somehow related.

same producer iirc

Is that a simultaneous release of all episodes as well. Is that a standard thing for Netflix anyway?

yep

netflix only staggers releases for chelsea and shows it buys from networks (riverdale, izombie)

netflix's binge strategy seems like a way to hook people into watching a possibly mediocre show without the possibility of them tuning out if they had a week to come back (ala cable TV).

Their quality control is all over the place

I don't like to binge for the same reasons I can't be an avid gamer - any time more than 2 hours pass with me sitting in one place doing the same thing I feel like I'm being wasteful and cease to enjoy it.

(that's my own baggage tho, not a judgment)
