Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

watched episode one of wild wild country...early 70s cult stuff is so my jam this is gonna be addictive

the old footage in that first episode is so cool. worth watching just for that. also i don't know if i would have followed osho in the 70s but i might have followed a cult led by sheela in the 70s. she was cute!

still haven't watched the rest yet.

best autobio title too:

My favorite title for a cult autobio is an old one they had at my highschool library 'Dark Side of the Moonies'

there should really be more adorable cult leaders. they always have to have those piercing hypnotizing eyes that put the fear of god into you.

by the end I realized Sheela really reminds me of an ex-girlfriend's mom, who coincidentally considered herself really close friends with a catholic bishop

this thread is getting hard to follow if i'm being frank

otm

someone start the WWC thread

and maybe a Netflix not-us thread for the content that is primary market in theater in the US but Netflix the majority of places

Wild Wild Country is so amazing

I have made a Wild Wild Country thread.

it really is remarkably therapeutic. It should autoplay once on everyone's netflix account, like that U2 album on Itunes only not unwanted and crap.

this was transcendent. i was welling up slightly by the end of it

was like xanax for the soul

i thought xanax was xanax for the soul.

It was the only episode I have ever cried during. She has other videos online from like when she cooked at Le Bernardin.

ooh into the badlands season two...i got some watching to do.

I’m not really into zombie movies but Here Alone was.. interesting

I am watching Stupid Futile Gesture (the harvard/national lampoon movie). Sigh, so many movies are so ruined now because all you think about is how average white men had it so easy. I am hoping this gets better.

Is that the movie or documentary? I watched the doc and thought it was fine but the doc about the Dana Carvey Show on Hulu was way better

A Futile and Stupid Gesture was... not great.

I think the funniest part was casting Joel McHale as Chevy Chase.

speaking of McHale, if you were wondering what "The Joel McHale Show" is: it's "The Soup." It even has a bunch of Soup's writing staff.

xpost TR Yeah I can't get pver McHale's wig. I mean did no one funny watch the movie before it was put out?

It's a netflix movie. xpost

My least favourite thing about that movie is how lazy they admit it is all the way through. Crappy biopics are only excusable when they're completely heartfelt.

I really like the McHale Show. It's not quite as punch as the old one but I think it'll get there in time.

Xp the doc about national lampoon is on Netflix too. The generally dislike biopics or fictionalized accounts of true stories - is much rather see a documentary about a subject.

Just looked it up - Drunk Stoned Brilliant Dead is the doc name

i love the mchale show

My wife and I are a few episodes into Tientsin Mystic, a paranormal detective show set about 100 years ago in China. We're finding it very entertaining - great sets and costumes, a lot of humor, some suspense but not laid on too thick. It's a relatable show. Very easy to get along with, which we both kinda need right now (as opposed to something that's overly serious, complicated, or edgy).

I went poking around online for more information about it this morning. There isn't a lot out there (in English at least), but apparently it met with government censorship last month and was removed from a Chinese streaming service due to a "related policy reason".

I know this is a really small gripe in the grand scheme of things, but there's a weird lag on Netflix's activity reporting for me. This morning I had a notification to tell me about new episodes of the Santa Clarita Diet, but I've already started watching it. I know about it. It keeps suggesting I watch new episodes of Love, but I've already watched them. And I had to manually search for the new episode of RPDR because my Continue Watching for Trish section hadn't updated. It bugs me.

xp someone probably didn't get the right bribe

We watched one episode of The Zoo. I don't think we are going to continue.

We watched an episode of Scandal at lunchtime today, just out of curiosity since we kept hearing how Shonda is a big West Wing fan, and I love Josh Malina

Aaaaand we’re already up to ep3 of Season 2 😂
I hear it gets bad later but goddamn this show is like a giant waterslide, it’s so fast paced & fun. And Tony Goldwyn is so normcore hot I cannot stand it. Love.

Watched all of the McHale show last night. I was into it. That Game Over movie was so terrible I fell asleep. how is that lumpy mayo guy getting so many roles recently?

i guess people watch a lot of workaholics on netflix

i am so happy about the joel mchale show though. it feels short but that’s because there are no commercial breaks. and i’m surprised at how subdued the seacrestfreude is. but otherwise im all in and i hope it gets renewed

We watched all of them before I knew what was happening (mchale show). We had some embarrassing snorting/chortling going on.

This is how out of touch I am sometimes. I just looked up Workaholics and never knew about this show. 7 seasons!

i kinda hate most of the skits in the mchale show. think maybe the soup during his run had better writers.

i miss joel's soup outfits the most which is weird because i usually hate suits.

I checked out Workaholics and it's either awful or very much not for me.

Based upon that movie, it's likely awful.

xost yeah but Joel had those gooood James Bond type suits, lots of Tom Ford & whatnot
You cant not suits like that on a guy like him

Speaking of Joel McHale, he's on Santa Clarita Diet season 2, which is actually really good now.

The first season was all over the place tone-wise but they've gotten in a good rhythm balancing the wacky family hijinks and the zombie mystery subplots.

would a fan of IZOMBIE like SANTA CLARITA DIET?

Oh, I am interested in this question too. I keep pausing on Santa Clarita Diet.
