Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

Shaft is the fifth movie in the Shaft Cinematic Universe, and the third to be called Shaft, despite there still being several unused titles from the novels. It is still in theatres in the US, came out a few weeks ago.

This was a timely article on why so many people watch Friends.

The new Shaft movie got an extremely brief UK cinema release recently, as well as some extremely negative reviews:

Can anyone recommend any good kids shows?

Mine are working their way through the dubbed "Go! Live Your Way" at the moment and it's driving me insane.

you're making it worse

“It’s just nice for younger people to see what life was like,” she said, as if describing Pompeii. “Before we just had, like, devices all the time, and we were always on iPads and stuff.”

Feel like this article pretty much cracks the code re: the popularity of Friends among the younger set. Something in that arena, anyway. Imagine never knowing a time before people were constantly absorbed in some handheld device or another. Depressing af.

yeah before that we were just regular old self-absorbed

Meeeemories

I feel like Shaft hasn't even come out in the the US yet. Or maybe it did last week? Anyway, digital release anywhere in the world means it's now on the bay of pirates.

It came out June 14th and flopped so hard it wasn't even around for the July 4th weekend in a lot of areas

Oh y'know I think I totally conflated the new Shaft with that Superfly remake that I remember seeing advertised but about whose actual release I have no memory whatsoever.

superfly was last year

Can anyone recommend any good kids shows?

Hilda is fantastic

that Superfly remake was actually decent

The Shaft remake was at a “Blues Brothers 2000” level of ill-conceived.

Everyone please watch Mean Streets!!!

that director, he's goin somewhere

new shaft was awesome

pvmic but i am totally and immediately hooked on Blown Away

Just watched S2E1 of Dark - what a way to end an opening episode. Despite watching a youtube season 1 recap i couldn't remember who half the characters were, but by the end i was extremely desirous that this shit be directly injected into my veins.

All I needed to hear was "Good morning, glass blowers!" I am on board.

but do they make bongs on that show?

no but they do make some really impresive art.

pretty very much i can't?

posts very much in character

anyways, i'm on the last episode; it's been loads of fun and i really wanna talk with people about the artists.
they did a good job of presenting the work so that you can accurately determine who wins and loses each week which is a surprisingly hard thing to pull off.

sample work from some of my faves:

deborah in particular is a delight

she's a regular at my nearby BK glass blowing shop and i kinda really really wanna try it. it's fucking expensive though! Like $500 for a two day workshop or $850 for a six week workshop. And i gather this is the kind of thing i'd have to practice for several years before i could start exploring form intelligently. maybe someday.

Hilda is fantastic

Absolutely agree, it's 100% delightful and great for grownups too. HILDA on Netflix deserves its own thread

yeah Hilda is so well done

This site was a great help whilst watching:

xps We've watched Hilda and very much enjoyed it

Then got them to watch Over The Garden Wall which they loved too

we watched and loved steven universe as a family but that's on hulu or cartoon network not netflix

it is on Hulu! i think a season behind.
also the last season's on the Cartoon Network app (though you probably only have access if you're already on cable)

Over the Garden Wall is incredible.

Been watching Blown Away, it's pretty good. More intense than the GB shows (bake off, pottery throwdown, sewing bee); partly because it's just a more intense discipline, partly because the contestants are more experienced and can push the envelope more, but also partly because lol americans. I kind of miss the multiple challenges format but at least the eps are short and you can zip through it all pretty quickly.

Yeah, the hardcore Iron-Chefness of it is a bit wearing when you're used to the gentler pace of the British shows.

Finally watched the OJ Sompson series. Found out it wasn’t Kato driving the Bronco. Lol

uh

Orlando Joomps Sompson

I like this Blown Away show. Good call. I appreciate how snappy the episodes are.

Although whenever they say "good morning, glassblowers" I change it into "good morning, cakesniffers."

I love how they just front out all the double entendres, too. Yes, it's a glory hole.

I love Deborah. I want to watch a show about 24 hours in her life.

RIght? She got VERY media savvy about halfway through and realized her persona was going to help her win this and went through an attitude shift. Never seen anyone do that on a reality show before, much respect.
her animal foot collection is dope: http://www.deborahczeresko.com/stampede.html

you know what: Good Morning Glass Blowers! - Blown Away: The Netflix Art Reality Show

Holy fuck at Another Life

holy fuck good or holy fuck bad?

i'm enjoying it one and a bit eps in: the earth bits are currently boring but i like william as the ship's alexa

is it good? it looked interesting and the reviews are awful.
