Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

I live with a thrower-outer and let me tell you it's a struggle

I can’t think of a single thing I’ve thrown out that I (really) regret. But SO much of what I keep is ... totally useless.

well this doesn't look great

I watched the first episode of Tidying Up, and it was all weirdly vague. It didn't seem like they really did much. Also, the family was horrible, it would've been more satisfying if she just burned their house down.

ok, this is my favourite post of all time.

xpost lol I had the opposite reaction. Killer art + Jake Gyllenhaal doing a goofy voice is exactly the kind of trash I live for.

i could do with a smart, pulpy/trashy sendup of the art world, why do the paintings have to come alive :/

The thing that gets me about this Tidying Up show is that their house was not horrifically cluttered, just kind of normal cluttered, yet even with the help of poor Marie Kondo, who had to smile through all of their entitled bullshit, it still took weeks for them to fold up a bunch of clothes and organize their kitchen drawers. I don't see how this couldn't get done over the course of a weekend.

the spoiler-averse should probably avoid that trailer, sheesh xps

Seriously. I was intrigued but regret watching it.

xpost That's what I'm saying! These aren't hoarders with piles of newspapers, these are just people who need to clean their fucking rooms, like little kids.

OTOH, I'm intrigued by the glimpses we get of her methods, but also frustrated that they don't go into more detail. It just feels like a teaser for the book rather than a something meant to stand on it's own and educate.

I am not a fan of her vertical envelope folding except for underwear. I basically fold everything like I live in a boutique.

It is nice to be able to see the edges of every shirt in the drawer, but I don't think it actually saves any space or anything.

none of these things your neighbor does seems weird!

counterpoint: most of those things are pretty weird but also extremely sweet

Also everyone should have a headlamp. They are so great. I have two. One to carry in my purse/bag at all times and one for the house.

rolling>>>>>folding

agreed a headlamp is a good thing

do you anticipate delivering a baby during a power outage idgi

things I've used my headlamp for recently: power outage while I was rolling out fresh pasta, changing battery in smoke detector on a ladder, helping someone with battery trouble in parking garage, got lost while taking a shortcut through vineyards/dirtroads at night, looking in someone's ear. I also have a fear of having to walk through the subway tunnels in case the subway breaks down or down flights of dark stairs in tall buildings during emergencies.

Oh and camping.

It’s totally shallow, but I hated the fact they called each othe ‘babe’. Plus I got the impression that their problems were more complicated than the clutter.

It's not shallow. It was the first thing that made me hate that couple. Some article I was reading was pointing out how she said it so passive aggressively.

ok, was going to be disappointed in “You” if it didn’t do certain things and I’m and the end now and the endorsement is in

My wife also commented negatively on the babe thing, also the fact that she taught her kids to refer to nursing as "boobies".

Just noticed that the amazing Senna documentary is now up - check it out, even if you're not into Formula 1

been watching You and have to keep stopping it. not cos it's bad but because hard for me to watch someone get stalked so aggressively.

somewhat tired of the people differentiating him from Dexter ("well Dexter had a CODE!") because people seem to think that 'code' made Dexter not a monster when he absolutely was one. Just like Joe on this show.

Also the comments on the FB page of the show is full of people romanticizing Joe which is...all kinds of wrong.

but it's well done so I'll keep watching.

Badgley has actually taken to Twitter to respond to fans to tell them to stop seeing his character as a "good" guy.

they literally spell out the intended premise in a late-season episode! I was kind of appreciative of the moment because you've gotta spoonfeed your audience sometimes

I'm only on ep 3, lol. so kinda makes these alternative readings even more sad then!

enjoyed leguizamo's latin history tbh, laudable commitment/ambition and anyway just love leguizamo

yeah, total ride.

I have never like Leguizamo but watched it when it came out and it was pretty good.

I'm only on ep 3, lol. so kinda makes these alternative readings even more sad then!

oh yeah there's no way you finish this season thinking joe is "good" ffs. they give him just enough dimension where you can understand why he's a monster, but the writers also don't let him off the hook at all. show walks a fine line

Everyone on the show is pretty terrible (except Ethan so far and maybe Blythe), but he is the one that is definitely a stalker/murderer.

I am really surprised that Kondo speaks mostly Japanese—this seems so much more like a Japanese television show to me. Not what I was expecting,

some of Penn Badgley's responses to women romanticizing his character are hilarious:

But you’re supposed to see past my face TO the crazy shit! It’s the other way! The other wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyhhyyyyggg :)

This young gay couple lives in a nicer apartment than I’ve ever lived in and they are so afraid of being judged for their perceived dorm-like lifestyle.

just on a cursory look around, all of the people in the maria kondo thing are really terrible people

"Leave No Trace" is streaming on Amazon. What a great movie, and I was extra pleasantly surprised that despite handling some pretty heavy themes there was no violence or profanity or sex or anything, That's a neat trick, to make a (relatively) family-friendly film about serious PTSD.

guys, you should stop watching marie kondo and watch blue planet ii instead.

I might honestly watch some of YOU s2 just to see how they respond to ppl being idiots about it

guys, you should stop watching marie kondo and watch blue planet ii instead.

Blue Planet proves that nature is tidiest of them all.

i tried watching Friends From College, i made it 2 episodes. it’s dumb. seeing Nat Faxon just makes me wish his show Married was still on the air :(

Really terrible show with a good cast

saw two amazing films last night:
The Rider (on Starz via Amazon) is definitely one of the best movies of 2018; total knockout and well worth a trial subscription month just to see
Support the Girls (on Hulu) is not what you think it is and it's better than you're hoping it is.

ALSO:
Hulu just added four seasons of Letterkenny. Pitter patter.

for those unfamilar, Letterkenny is "It's Always Sunny in Ontario"

Just watched “Without a Trace” - Josh in Chicago otm, this movie does so much with so little. I loved it.

how great is Ben Foster. goddamn i love him as an actor.

Definitely a worthy follow-up to Winter's Bone, I was a big fan of Leave No Trace as well.

one of my coworkers was talking about Future Man (on hulu) so I gave season one a spin. the premise wears kind of thin as they cycle through all the different time travel cliche references but the casting is an amazing mishmash of “who can we get to show up?”
