Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

i didn't watch that. his show about bringing Raymond to Russia was kinda boring.

i did watch the first episode of Ugly Delicious, David Chang's new show.

i just noticed that season 2 of Hap and Leonard is up! will definitely watch that.

I didn't really like Somebody Feed Phil, his wide-eyed wonder shtick wore really thin. It's also shot so each episode has a sort of redemption arc build into it; "I didn't know about any of this and look, now I'm evangelising about it!" I'm also sceptical about how many choices are done by convenience and not quality - in Mexico City, for example, all the locations (except for one specific example) were about 500 yards from each other.

Hated Ugly Delicious, started two episodes and failed to finish either of them.

i just noticed that season 2 of Hap and Leonard is up! will definitely watch that.

i like THE JOEL MCHALE SHOW. riyl THE SOUP because it’s pretty much that except joel wears jeans now.

seconded, it’s good

Money Heist shark jump moment is when one of the victims sleeps with one of the robbers but I'm still gonna finsih it.

I also am stoked about the 2nd season of Hap & Leonard! I started the first ep last night but fell asleep.

Joel McHale show I didn't think was that good. But I'll keep watching it cuz I really liked the Soup when we had cable.

Mute was --- uncannily bad. like so close to being good but in the end, not

the only reason I watched it was because William Gibson recommended it on twitter and praised the world building and tbf that was interesting but man as an actual plot it just wasn't good

kinda fun to see Rudd as a baddie tho

anyway dr c should watch it and give the definitive review thx in advance

anybody watched Chewing Gum? it's insanely funny - british tv comedy written by and starring Michaela Coel, who is amazing. it's OTT and ridiculous and absurb. i can't understand about a third of the dialogue and it's still funny as fuck.

i started watching A Week in Watts, but got bad vibes as soon as one of the cops was basically like "yeah the community here didn't want BLM stirring up shit", gave it another 20mins, but it felt v v much like police propaganda.

Chewing Gum is fantastic

^^^ ok just watched the first ep and it destroyed me

Right?!

The Last Kingdom is better than I expected. Never great but never really bad or dull.

Chewing gum is awesome. Best British sitcom in years.

gbx otm, I think the mutual praise online has to do more with personalities and less about the content

I get the whole "simple plot that could take place any time transposed into a science fiction future" premise can be done well, but the whole thing was a stock setting plus half a script :/

I guess it was an interesting exercise in determining if Justin Theroux would be gross if he was a creep with shaggy blonde hair. He was still kind of compelling.

(previous post in reference to the movie Mute)

This thread is too long for me to load all the messages and smugly point out that I brought up how amazing Chewing Gum was months ago ;). I think Ulysses and I talked about it here a little bit at the time but, yes, it's so great. I can't wait for the next season.

Also - I didn't notice anything weird about C Rock's t shirt but I did mourn the fact that he wasn't wearing some fancy-ass shiny suit.

I think we made it through two or three episodes of Chewing Gum but really couldn't take it. It was just so over-the-top, like a human cartoon. We liked Fleabag better, but that's a lot darker.

I saw that Ash Vs the Evil Dead has been on Netflix for a while now, and I wanted to catch up, but I could only make it through a few episodes of that as well. Every episode I saw felt like it was about 15 minutes too long.

x-post - Aw, it is but I somehow I didn't mind and it worked for me. I loved fleabag too though and read yesterday that Pheoebe Ican'trememberherlastname is writing a rom-com thriller movie. Excited for that.

Loved Chewing Gum. We watched all of Altered Carbon and I have absolutely no clue what it was about.

we have a thread for that!

mostly it's about exploitation and never saying the word "capitalism" iirc

finished up Ozark, and while i liked it, the piling on of complications got a bit wearying. and really zero resolutions and a fizzling ending. there were some cool bits though. and some funny ones.

i only lasted about 4 episodes on ozark

Trying to watch this new Netflix movie When We First Met. So far it's terrible. I will likely keep watching it.

Not Netflix (Prime) and I’m sure someone already mentioned it and I’m late to the game and blah but holy fucking fuck Patriot is one of the best things I’ve seen in years. Apparently we get a second season as well. Def the first time I’ve given 2 shits about a prime original series I think.

opinions on new sean bean netflix thing?

watched Seven Seconds over the weekend it was ok always love Regina King and the lead Clare Ashitey is good too .

I'm in the middle of End of the F****ing World and enjoying it, I'm glad that they raise the stakes at one point. The whole "I guess I'm not actually a psychopath, just a troubled teen" thing is kinda silly (I'm not forgiving him for those animals), but whatever.

Saw The Ritual and the cartoon Godzilla thing. Ritual was fun and scary and had a great creature. My wife started the movie laying down in bed, but by halfway through was sitting up in bed.

Godzilla is probably a little too self-serious, but overall pretty entertaining. There's a brief post-credits scene that has me excited for the next ep (due out in May).

t-shirts aren't supposed to do this!!! and if they do, and you stand up straight, it should go away. but it didn't, all night long. his tailor made a grievous mistake and his friends and family didn't care enough about him to mention it before he walked out there

also, he sure expectorated a lot more than usual. thanks, Bo Burnham, for the close-up shots of that

Wow this shirt thing really bothers you!

somewhere there's a forum with people asking where they can find t-shirts that do that, and where they can purchase them

Wow this shirt thing really bothers you!

what really bothers me is that it doesn't seem to bother anyone else!

it's like a toga wrinkle

i dont' even know what you're talking about

It's like it's back to front or something. Of course, now I can't watch this special, because this is all I will see.

maybe just a protrusive collarbone

maybe it’s just a weirdly designed “fashionable” shirt

I think it's regular shirt and he's moving around so it's moving with him!

i didn't notice it when i watched the special. better that t-shirt than those weird dave chappelle jackets. that one dave chappelle special bugged me because he was contantly threatening to light a cigarette and then not lighting it. and the e-cig bugged me in the other special. maybe that is comparable to being distracted by shirt wrinkle.

also chris rock really looked his age to me. i guess i hadn't looked at him in a while. he is officially middle-aged looking.

watched Seven Seconds over the weekend it was ok always love Regina King and the lead Clare Ashitey is good too .

I'm sorry but this show is terrible. Does it want to be The Wire? If so they're going to have to stop being INCREDIBLY SLOPPY about pacing, setting, plot points, everything. The Goodfellas Diner is A QUEENS LANDMARK that everyone knows about and they just pretended it's in Bayonne or something. Newsflash NJ has diners too! Is famous for them in fact! A baby who's just past the 5-month mark is born prematurely and taken home the next day looking like he's 1 month old instead of the reality that he would be in NICU for 4 months. A person drips latex paint on a floor and loses their shit like everyone doesn't know you can just wipe it up with a damp cloth. I have to look again but I'm pretty sure the court house is not the Jersey City court house. Just a hundred shit stupid things.

The most true-to-life thing for me so far is the repulsive social conventions of the bent cops and their wives, who obv have so much stock in their spouses' toxic masculinity. The throw away comment between wives about how a good life is having a new car and a trip to "the islands" every year. (Which islands?) The stupidity, bigotry, and ignorance of their white middle class characters are true to life in my experience.

I'm still going to watch it don't get me wrong.

lol there are all kinds of problems with it but i still watched it and felt it was Ok enough

OH ALSO the set-up shots of the old Jersey City Medical Center complex as the hospital when that shit has been condos for years. CMON.
