Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

A cursory glance at instantwatcher.com and, sure enough, I see images for four new series up today with the big red letter 'N' in the left-hand corner.

Mr. Right has Sam Rockwell, Anna Kendrick, Ziggy from the Wire and RZA but is nevertheless absolute garbage

The Stranger is tacky in a most incredible way.

I can't believe I just watched all of The Circle. As far as reality gameshows, it was ok, probably because the cast was good.

Starting a rewatch of Babylon Berlin in anticipation of season 3 coming March 3. It's still awesome.

yes! i was thinking of doing that too!
very excited for its return

Also Jakob is a babe.

Well I definitely did not mean to post that three times whoops.

:D

Which series though? 2 probably beats 1. It's close though

only the first one is on netflix? I was liberally using the 10 second skip ahead button and basically got through it in two days very easily.

I want to go on it next year with my avatar literally a robot

The Netflix version is the US one, not the British one LJ.

Oh god oh no

(Will probably still watch it)

yeah this was season 1 of the US? I thought it was going to be horrible because social media and the US and reality tv... but it was fine. Less trashy than I expected.

it's like 3rd wave reality tv contests. Is that a thing already? they are all so meta aware of the best personalities and relationships and pivots to make but still also really bad at trivia and still too vain.

it looks like that Al Pacino vehicle Hunters is about Tarantino style comic Nazi hunters and has ended up offending some and the wider consensus is mainly that dodgy premise aside it is complete garbage. I'm enjoying the new Narcos. Young El Chapo as innocuous village idiot is quite amusing.

OH FINALLY!!!!

xp. my gf is watching it and it seems to be pish. I'm not too offended by it but i don't feel comfortable with the holocaust being used to add emotional heft to workaday tv

Actually Hunters is fantastic and it’s on Prime

Forgot xposts

It’s has it Tarantino moments but Jordan peels def comes through as ep

Peele FFS

So can we talk about the end of The Stranger? With redactions but still possible SPOILERS: obv it was nonsense but I liked the fundamental interconnectedness of all things. Only one major plot hole of concern (ignoring ludicrous coincidences and daft behaviours): so they framed [redacted] for the deaths of [redacted] and [redacted]? How would that work? He had no motive for one, no motive and absolutely no opportunity for the other.

Guys

LOVE IS BLIND

Yeah, it's such a great show, especially S2. I hope S3 will maintain the quality level.
But it's not on Netflix, is it ? Not in France anyway.

I keep seeing this banner on amazon & thinking it’s Stallone

Re: The Stranger - they basically just handwaved that all away.
The whole thing sucked but at least it kind of 'worked', apart from said ending. Also I begrudgingly enjoyed how they got to two eps from the end and were still merrily starting new 'mysteries'. Oh and the cop putting young cop *on speakerphone* to really ramp up that conversation trope.

Listen I am not watching Love Is Blind under any circumstances no matter how many times the collective You virally praises it AND YOU CAN'T MAKE ME.

Is Love is Blind actually good or are people horrified by it so they are writing about it? I have pretty low tolerance for any reality show that focuses on "finding love".

Netflix have started giving me push notifications of what's about to get released. SA Spy Drama 'Queen Sono' an J-Drama 'Followers' look good

Yeah, I got one of those for Babies and added straight to my list. They know me.

I made it 15 minutes into Love Is Blind.

Unless it swerved into being some kind of slasher movie where they're hunted down in their pods, I don't think I missed anything.

I sat through a couple episodes of CHEER (my wife was watching it) and man idk everyone involved seems like a psychopath. I just do not get the mentality that wants to participate in such an abusive, authoritarian, hyper-competitive environment, and all for the sake of performing a 3-minute routine during a football game...? I mean I get how my interests seem obscure and pointless to large swathes of the population, but I'm not whipping myself into a cult-like frenzy of devotion with athlete buzzwords and peer pressure and physically endangering myself for the sake of something that is really fucking silly and pointless on its face.

Did they just drop the second season of altered carbon and forget to tell anybody or am I just not paying attention to billboards and online advertisement

and its hilarious how they all talk about how this builds character and prepares them for the adult world etc. when a) this is clearly the peak of most of these peoples' lives/the main accomplishment they will fixate on in ensuing decades (cf the returning alum firefighter guy) and b) there is no way any of this shit would fly in the most business-places. P much all the tactics employed to bind the team together and make them perform well are the antithesis of what management gurus will recommend (and what legal departments will insist on) in terms of getting teams of people to function optimally.

xxp I got an email this morning

is altered carbon good?

First season was solidly entertaining, w/good sci-fi violence, and incredible visually, though not without its flaws. Second season reviews seem to lean towards it being better.

I'd recommend avoiding it because it's a cynical dystopian vision that traffics in misogyny and the author of the books is a shithead who got canned from twitter for being a transphobic mess

I'll probably watch it, though :/

social status

oh totally. and the pathological commitment to WINNING, like... why does winning this podunk thing matter to anyone at all, is it really worth giving yourself life-long brain damage? (tbf most involved seem p brain damaged already)

Well, having a ton of Insta followers can be a decent career, I guess.

I thought there was a sad air of tragedy to people implying this community college known for its cheerleading was their personal peak.
