Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

I didn't mind because I'm not sure I've seen anything else he's done...

This is interesting. https://www.billboard.com/articles/business/8482923/homecoming-score-soundtrack-amazon-series-julia-roberts-music

Using existing scores from such films as The French Connection, Body Heat, Capricorn One, The Eiger Sanction and All The President's Men involved clearing the music with the original rights holders and figuring out a fair licensing price. Since these scores were mainly recorded by union musicians, it also meant working with the American Federation of Musicians (AFM) to find the musicians who played on the sessions to make sure they got paid.

Yeah, the soundtrack was often retro/reminiscent of old stuff. Plus Leonard Cohen!

I didn't know anything about this series until you guys started talking about. I loved Season 1 of Mr. Robot (haven't caught up past that yet) so maybe I'll give Homecoming a shot.

Here are my reviews of the first four episodes of Homecoming.

Ep1: Meh
Ep2: huh?
Ep3: ooooooh
Ep4: WOOooOoOOooah?

OUTLAW KING: surprisingly not-bad

chris pine’s penis delivered a creditable performance fwiw

his penis is the talk of the town!

hollywood’s brightest new star: chris pine’s junk

the "pine needle"

more of a pine cone rly cuz it’s designed to deliver seed

TREKKER'S TALLYWACKER IS TOAST OF TINSELTOWN

don’t ruin this for me

rich, oaky penis

pretty sick stuff itt he is a human being

with a human penis

Worth watching the John Leguizamo 'Latin Peoples History for Morons' one off show although there are certainly some 'problematic' moments among the scatter of lols and mostly enervating feelage.

lost me at leguizamo

dowd and AA, did you both realise that there's another (very strange) scene after the end credits of the last episode of Homecoming?

This was great, thanks for recommending. almost everything about it is interesting - the acting, the casting, the cinematography and the production design.

yes! and it’s probably the twin-peakiest thing about a vaguely twin-peaky show.

SPOILER REDACTED

^^^^SPOILERS^^^^^

Crap, probably shouldn't have said even that. a mod can delete it if they like.

probably not spoilers to say this show already has a second series on the way, so that scene is clearly feeding us something

lads

the scene is feeding us lads?

Thx for the Homecoming rec (starting tonight). I barely look at Amazon Prime videos so would have missed it.

love how 70s lots of homecoming is

lots of the shots are right out of the conversation / columbo playbook

show is really good and probably deserves its own thread

yeah, no spoilers in the general purpose streaming thread ya dummies

Homecoming, a good show on Amazon Prime

so Narcos season 4 is technically a companion series and not a sequel. If you know anything about the real story behind the season it promises to be potentially quite a bit darker than 1-3.

Halfway through season 2 of Big Mouth. This is hilarious.

new Narcos looks fun tbh.

hell yah

I like Hasan Minaj's show. Yeah his delivery gets tiring after a while and yeah it's a bit like brown john oliver, but he's funny, what he's discussed, though hardly groundbreaking, has been good, and I think that Amazon ad sealed the deal.

yeah I am enjoying it

it's surprisingly well-thought out and well-written; he's currently the best of the educomedy talk shows. his nonstop wild gesticulating is a bit exhausting but he's almost immediately toning it down so i'm willing to be patient.

On board with new narcos
I don’t seem to get tired of this same story over and over again

Brainchild is good - or at least, appeals to my pedagogic nature. I can see the right hating it - as they always do; it has a minority girl as a presenter, is honest about climate change etc. There are things for the left to hate too - I didn't like the inclusion of marines alongside firefighters etc. as people whose job is to help. It's not necessarily wrong, it just struck me as odd.

But it's a lot of fun for kids who are interested in science - and maybe for those who aren't.

new Mexican Cartel Narcos series delivers the usual lurid entertainment values set by previous seasons (up to ep4). A bit heavy heavy handed the way the only apprentice Cartel underling who get's to be repeatedly called by his name is Chapo, again and again - yeah I got it the first time!

Trailer for mex narcos was great but I bailed 15 minutes into episode 1

Wow quick trigger!

Ain’t nobody got time for that

the scumbag fed voice-over is quite grating, but it is just as much as fun previous seasons as long as you don't take it too seriously.

but in this era of netflix hegemony I'm totally pro quick triggers!

I'm watching The Terror vis a recommendation upthread - thanks! although it's not streaming, i torrented it hence this may not be the best thread for this - but, as a brit, I'm finding it impossible to work out what on earth anyone is saying. I had to turn on the subtitles but watching english language things with EL subtitles takes you out of the thing and makes it weird to watch. Very frustrating.
