Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

That’s funny

that's the irony. they just make their families cry.

every single photo i've seen of armisen is total "mothefucker with dark secrets"

I had to stop watching Morose Schlump I mean Patriot eight episodes in. I really like the way the story's put together and told, and I could stomach the self-conscious quirksiness, but if you're going to have your main character be such a charisma blackhole, it needs to be earned and explained. He's just sad?

someone cattle-prod Elizabeth Moss ffs. She's totally mogadon in everything. spangled to the hilt.

serious q though is she really just totally baked all the time?

zapped her with the scientology machine a bit, eh?

To me, she has a nice un-plastic surgeried, expressive face. It's a shame about her being scientologist but most religion might as well be scientology.

I like Moss in a lot of stuff, Mad Men (Peggy is the best character), 'The One I Love,' 'Queen of Earth' even West Wing but she's not a huge selling point on a movie or show in and of herself.

she would be now, surely

i'm not a fan. she reminds me of someone i might know. but not in a good way. like maybe one of my kid's teachers or something....i don't know who. someone. people i've known. or people who have had to explain things to me in municipal buildings in a sympathetic and patient tone because they knew i was a mess and also that i had the mind of a child. but that's my problem. i was not a peggy fan. i really wanted to be. i didn't want to watch handmaids tale because of her. actually most of the people in that show were kinda dud-like to me. (i feel the same way about The Path on Hulu. Maria watches it and she always asks me why i won't watch it and its mostly because the people in it are so unlikable to me. i don't care what happens to them.)

Loved S1 of One Day At A Time, but this second season has been rough. Every episode has to have a heavy-handed lesson, and the finale was a parade of corny tearful monologues. Rita Moreno is still hilarious though.

Moss’s parents raised her as a Scientologist which in my mind puts her in a different position than your average Hollywood sciti

This Darren Brown: The Push looks like such bullshit. Has anyone watched it yet? Actors and a set up to see how far they can push one poor schlub into pushing someone off a building??? I think this is what's going on in the trailer.

on armisen, from gawker: " he abuses his semi-celebrity status to meet women and then abruptly discards them (all the while playing the nice, sweet, down to earth role.) He's only interested in friending and/or dating celebrities. Between serious relationships, he seeks out "everyday girls" such as myself to mess with and ultimately sleep with (something he didn't get from me - I'm a bit too wise for you Fred, and you know that.)"

this just sounds like every actor and comedian I've ever encountered ever.

I'm sure this is old news, especially to the Brits, but The Royle Family is sweet and very funny.

I watched the 3 episodes they have of Mary Portas Secret Shopper yesterday
It was like a retail version of Kitchen Nightmares and kind of good?
exception: Ep 1 did not handle subject’s transvestitism at all well (kind of expected in a way but still no excuse) i felt very bad for the man in question. The show tried to win back some ground but ultimately didn’t do anything but marginalize the guy way more than he had been before she showed up.

I had no idea you could double the quality of your downloaded videos in the app settings until today! Now I’m re-downloading all the crap I’ll probably not end up watching on my upcoming bidness trip.

If you enjoy watching people camping and being picked off by an elk demon thing, then The Ritual is a decent way to spend 90 minutes.

i have that on my list, def want to watch!!

yeah the rare horror movie where showing what the monster looked like didn't make it any less creepy.

i like this flint town show, though the production value may be more than the city's budget o_o

I started watching Case Histories, tv-version of Kate Atkinson's great books.
So far it's ok. Jason Isaacs isn't a bad Jackson but it all feels a bit paint by number somehow. His daughter is rad tho.
And lots of good guest actors, like Ygritte from Game of Thrones!

not on netflix, but enjoying hard sun on hulu. end of the world cop show by neil cross.

i'd never actually watched luther and started it last week on netflix but luther freaking out was actually freaking me out a little so i stopped watching. i love idris though.

I don't love Luther as much as a lot of people, but it's fine.

I am in the middle of Fargo (not sure how I ignored it this long) and just finished Allred. I was hoping to find some real evidence of why these random people (men) always seem to impugne her character since I don't know that much about her. Just the regular sexism/misogyny.

I like idris well enough but obviously not as much as he likes being idris elba, which is his main stumbling block as an actor, that he likes himself a lot, is very aware of how "sexy" he is etc.

thought hard sun was v stupid and ugly

Stringer Bell is an amazing, unselfconscious performance, but imo he's been wooden in everything else he's done.

Oh man, that is exactly how I think about Idris Elba. People love Luther so much, but he's so "look, I am acting very hard" and it makes it too soapy. Agreed on Stringer Bell.

i kinda just like looking at him...

the anger thing was kinda trigger-y for me on Luther. that's why i stopped watching Marcella too.

he's such a corny + shite actor, they should make him the James Bond - it'd probably work

*next

"thought hard sun was v stupid and ugly"

i like it okay. but i can definitely see why someone wouldn't like it. i was in the mood on a snowy day. still have to watch the last episode. i like the woman who looks like the woman from Savages. her jawline should get a supporting credit. such a bony performance. i see that she was a model in real life. that makes sense. best name too: Agyness Deyn. great sci-fi name.

"he's such a corny + shite actor"

he's just compelling to me. to watch. but i'm a jason statham fan too.

OH Agyness Deyn is in it! That makes it seem more interesting. She was an "it" girl for a while until she grew out her hair and admitted to subtracting like 5 years from her age or something. I like her.

she has Savages hair in this show.

The Agyness Deyn and Albert Hammond Jr. era was the best.

i am such a sucker for the ian curtis hairdo...

i resented that hard sun promised sci-fi but served up helping after helping of underlit teal abductions, shootings, burnings etc

but i'm a jason statham fan too

i stand with scott

Savages.. the Oliver Stone movie? I think scott's talking about Blake Lively but I'm trying to connect the dots here

also defining BL as "the woman from Savages" is killing me, very good description

this is probably the complete wrong reference but I'm running with it

no, the band Savages!

be still my grizzled heart...

that makes 100% more sense

is hap & leonard good?

first season is way over the top violent but also quite entertaining and the two leads are wonderful together.

the 2nd season's plot is really bumming me out and i'm not so eager to watch. its just so sad. though, again, the two leads are great and there are great characters.

i like the cast a lot maybe i'll give it a go
