Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

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.

We started on River with Stellan Skarsgard last night. Not too shabby if you’re into middle aged cops losing their mind.

New season of Voltron this weekend! I’m stoked.

Patriot tip above is a good one, thanks! Perfect mix of dry dark humor. Personally I hit mute on its indie acoustic pap when it comes in nondiegetic moments and that makes the whole tenor of the show much better.

Viceroy's House has a 1-star rating on Netflix but I liked it. Although I turned it on hoping it would go into the affair between Nehru and Lady Mountbatten. But it provides other sordid scurrility plus large-scale tragedy!

Riverdale became available. We binged the first season last weekend. We really liked it.

it's totally enjoyable nonsense

If anybody is watching that Fred Armisen drummer thing the highlight is the look on J Mascis' face btw the NPR and Tito Puente bits

Can I just say that the Seinfeld special was aggressively mediocre. I watch so much trash and could not finish this.

We've seen two episodes of Somebody Feed Phil and I think we like it. Good family viewing and yeah, he's a strange one, but his enthusiasm seems so innocent and goofy.

this is amazing to me. that's a LOT of people.

"Netflix ended 2017 with 117.6 million streaming members worldwide."

their definition of "original" is pretty loose

I mean they're hyping a two-year-old Derren Brown special at the moment

The new Queer Eye is good, I can barely recall the old one but this seems superior.

yes we have been enjoying that, thanks to this thread I think?

I don't remember me being so critical of the subjects picked for the show, but I am older and it's a different mindset all around now, I guess.

what i remember about the old one was every interior design involved putting horizontal stripes on the wall.

lol they just did that in Ep 2

The QE guys are the most patient saints. They really need to make task forces of these guys.

The first episode with the car show guy! He was such a sweetheart and I absolutely got teary at least 2x.

Oh, I totally teared up multiple times. I was ready to hate on some of the guys but they turned it out.

Yes!

That may have been the only time I have ever heard an active police officer agree that excessive force was used.

And I don't care that Antoni never really cooks. He seems more there to just be likeable.

Jonathan is so fantastic. He has absolutely no shame. Although Antoni is probably the one I fancy and would choose to live with (if you're reading this A, hmu) . I loved about half of the episodes and liked a few more. I was a wreck at the end of the one where the guy was gay.

Really loved River.
I think my next eurocrime series is gonna be Gommorrah.

I just added River, Ian. smooch.
