Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

i've tried listening to podcasts at home and as far as i can tell it can't be done

I've learned that I can listen to pods at home while washing dishes, cooking, and showering. No other time, especially not while working.

The descriptions I hear of favorite podcasts from family and friends make them sound like Paul Harvey segments stretched out to nauseating length. voodoo chili otm.

time spent listening to anything but music is time that could be spent listening to music; good point!

some podcasts *are* music

Dylan's Theme Time Radio Hour—that's a podcast.

I wonder if people used to talk this way abt "radio"

i mean... if you're broadcasting a radio show and it's all music, that's a playlist?
anyways, i'm okay

digging this wolfman jack podcast

finishing up Giri/Haru, also a podcast since mics were probably involved. Needed more of the stylization and it got melodramatic brit style near the end but overall solid. I kind of think Kelly McDonald was poorly used though.

gah Giri/Haji not Haru.

i hate podcasts, they've got too many notes

It's the constant cymbal tapping that gets me

life is but a podcast with bad editing

v jealous of all you who apparently have so many actual friends that you don't have to pretend podcast hosts are your friends like I do.

you think that's bad, i have friends who do make podcasts and i have to pretend to listen to them!

Is it like a “misophonia” thing where ppl are hating the sounds of ppl talking? Cause I love that. Talking is music too

I kind of admit that most podcasts are so bad tho, and even some of the ones I enjoy I would agree are bad. But there are legit good ones. They are good for sleeping to as well

Did you know that there are different 'genres' of podcasts, and also some of them are good while others are not, it's kinda like music

y'all are still talking about podcasts in the netflix thread fyi

How is that not on topic

Try and tell me the tiger king isn’t a podcast

question 1: is it about nurses who can't find a man to romance and appreciate them?

I didn’t watch tiger king because I already heard the podcast

For real

i didn't hear the podcast because i read the article!

obvs next post: i was the tiger

we are all the tiger.

ok. Giri/Haji had a super elegant last 20 minutes ending that made the entire thing worthwhile. I would love for so much more epic rooftop choreopgraphy.

Oh so maybe I’ll stick with Giri then? Lot of it seems forced

what epi are you on?

i wished the weird comic book style would've been more. i think wherever you are, you could just skip to the last epi and it would not matter.

like there were 3-4 episode near the end that i was like , ....whatever.

Ep 4 I think? After they all spend Passover together or something?

Season 2 of Dead To Me is up, binged the whole thing last night, but I can't say I think it's as good as the first season. Some of it is, some of it is not. Still enjoyable I guess.

i fucking loved s1

so did I! and the consensus seems to be season 2 is as good or better but I disagree.

I think it had more laugh out loud moments but seemed a little contrived (esp the "oh boy S3" closer).

This Middleditch/Schwartz improv special seems like an almost magical combination of unappealing things.

I dared myself to weather the embarrassment and withstand 30 minutes...couldn't quite make it.

i didn't hate the one i watched and it had at least a few laughs (it was the one where the guy was interviewing for SNL) but i haven't watched any more bc i guess it wasn't really that compelling and i like both those guys from the cbb-verse

I just finished Never Have I Ever & it’s fantastic

i thought midnight gospel was going to have more psychedelic landscapes and less gettin' high with dr drew

yeah, ryan murphy is only good for 3-4 episodes ever for me. it's like he gets tired of his 'great idea' halfway through.

I'm excited because I seem to like Ryan Murphy all the time. The Politician was the first thing I watched of his but I loved every episode and was very sad when I realised I'd watched the last one. Then last night I discovered Hollywood and God it was good to be that entertained. So I guess one day I'll watch his back catalogue.

Oh wow he did Glee too. I'm such a pop culture doofus these days. I never saw that either.

he did American Horror Story and a million other things. AHS is the worst offender for drifting off into stupid story lines though. I've watched most of them and the only ones that are solid all the way through are Cult and Coven.

i watched the first season of ahs and could not get through the second season. I watched all of scream queens and i feel bad about finishing it. Popular was ok, it also fizzled out. I really liked Glee for half a season and then I very much did not like anything else I saw after.

I am watching that Belgian "the sun is going to kill everyone, fly west" new show, Into the Night. I like it so far.

Pose is his best show, probably.

yeah Never Have I Ever is so good even in the first 20 minutes. Although, both F and i yelled when we learned that hot Mohan was already dead. *episode 1, 1st 10 minutes spoiler. Ryan Murphy wishes.

it’s the best!!

Dead To Me season 2 was good I thought. Suffered that problem so many TV shows have where it sagged in the middle and was padded with a lot of unnecessary subplots but recovered nicely at the end.

Really like Never Have I Ever too - was dreading having John McEnroe as narrator but it really worked for me and the final bit with him was unexpectedly charming. Dude who plays Paxton is cute but looked way too old to be in high school though, it was a little creepy.

he had way too much of a Franco thing going on but i still liked him.
