Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

Yep

yeah sure its big enough

I'm excited to watch those. The first four were great, but when it ended I was like "why'd they stop right before getting to..." basically everything in the new eps.

haha yeah. I started on the new season with the Southern ep, which does not disappoint

just really well researched, great interview subjects, occasionally incredible footage

ok Sabrina thread started under “double double toil and SATAN”

cannot link bcz on my phone but go there :D

NONWWW: Double, Double Toil and SATAN: The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina on Netflix

ty!

glad Hop Hop Evolution got a second batch of episodes, prob their best documentary (Wild Wild Country being the only real competition imo)

I haven't seen that one yet. Although tbf I think even appearing on screen counts as "mentioned"

watched all the rest last night, so great. re: the Coup seems to me like they didn't get brought up because of the time-period in question. I mean, all of these recent eps basically cut off around '93 or so, at which point the Coup was just getting started. But that's also why the Southern episode doesn't get into Dungeon Family or Timbaland/Missy, NY ep doesn't get into Jay-Z, etc. I have no complaints about the overall timelines and scope, they tended to hit all the right points and major players.

all 3 infernal affairs movies are on UK netflix

I just started Dancing Queen and hoping to get more wig/makeup pointers.

can i recommend the Kindergarten Teacher again? you all are sleeping on that if you haven't seen it. I think it's Gyllenhallialllyghal's best performance yet

Salt Fat Acid Heat is enjoyable because Samin Nosrat is very charming and a good person to have in your living room for 40 minutes. The divisions are a bit random by episode three and I guess we've already heard almost everything a westerner has to say about Japanese food from David Chang et al but whatever.

Italy is incredibly beautiful in it.

Watched The Kindergarten Teacher today and it was moving, and creepy, and just odd. I really liked it. That the poetry is actually good (ymmv) really makes the movie. The Gyllenhaals sure pick interesting projects.

Damn, that's not on UK Netflix.

Seconded, Kindergarten Teacher is ace.

(Thanks, akm!)

The poetry was apparently written by a bunch of hip young poets my wife is familiar with.

Shirkers is excellent.

Anyone who uses as much salt as Samin Nosrat uses in her show is going to heave a heart attack.

no, they probably won't

enjoying maniac

am i meant to hear a word any cunts says

because i cant

but enjoying it

I don't know if this thread doubles as a catchall for other streaming services, but Lynne Ramsay's You Were Never Really Here is on Amazon Prime now.

And BPM is on Hulu, I see.

BPM is also on Kanopy for free.

My local library is too crappy for Kanopy, unfortunately.

aw! FYI for thread tho

Krappopy

I assigned BPM in my film class, and it was on Kanopy last week. Better be now! Papers due tomorrow.

this is prime and not netflix, but i can’t see a thread so i’m putting it here: homecoming is the best tv drama i’ve seen in years

I'm cool with this being the de facto streaming thread

Thanks! We got through about 5 minutes last night and she said it was freaking her out. We went ended up watching the first two episodes of Hilda (which we both loved).

If you've also got Amazon you should totally watch Gortimer Gibbons with her - amazing kids show.

Hilda is really wonderful

I'm enjoying homecoming. I like the long drawn out endings.

the cinematography is breathtaking. the whole series is properly a work of art.

There are a couple of bits which struck me as very 'Breaking Bad' - though,, of course, Breaking Bad probably wasn't the first show to show the life cycle of drugs as they're manufacturing.

The deflated endings kind of reminded me of some of the stuff Lynch did in the new TP.

yes! a lot of this show felt like the new twin peaks, especially the super-subtle camerawork/effects/focus techniques when things happened changed (especially one highly specific scene which i won’t mention here but is near the end of episode 8)

also i think the presence of julia roberts might have turned off a lot of people, but she’s actually really great and this is in no way a typical julia roberts vehicle

(as in, it’s not a cheesy romcom or a light drama)

The schlubby investigator without much personality is awesome.

Yeah, I'm not a big fan of Roberts - she's pretty good at kind-of-crying, holding it in, but other than that.

I don't dislike her.

yeah, she’s definitely not the best performer but she still does a fine job, and her casting plays with the audience in a way they couldn’t have done with most other people in that role

you guys are making it sound good, but I don't think I could take another Esmail joint after that last one.

this one’s just over five hours in total, if that helps

I like the DOD guy's magnetic glasses.

is Mr Robot over? I never got past the first season.

I haven't watched any of it! I liked this, though. But I find the ending...problematic (seems to be a trend with me atm).

I'm w calzino on this -- the Sam Esmail involvement gives me pause
