Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

They totally had a very american washer and dryer in the house. Typically, american dryers have no problems drying clothes ( I usually take mine out way early so they don't get overdried).

oh nice, a series of unfortunate events is back

BREAKING NEWS: Pioneers: First Women Filmmakers is now on @netflix!! https://t.co/WyaaXfXkRr

— Shelley Stamp (@StampShelley) December 30, 2018

nice catch!

Notable streaming arrivals: Leave No Trace, Jane Eyre, Apostasy, Hereditary on Amazon; The Breadwinner on Netflix; Support the Girls and Columbus on Hulu.

Yeah, I was excited to see that Pioneers series added today. Already watched 49-17, notable as the first western to be directed by a woman (it's fine), and am exited to go through the rest.

Leave No Trace kinda slept on last year, highly recommend it, especially if you liked Winter's Bone Support the Girls also solid, and I'm excited to see Columbus.

Columbus is great, i remember it like a dream

"You", the show with Penn Badgley playing a deranged version of his Gossip Girl character, is ridiculous and trashy and populated entirely by characters from the quiddities/agonies NYT thread. I LOVE IT.

this show is so incredible

oh nice, a series of unfortunate events is back

i'm really pleased that Netflix allowed the budget to complete the whole series.
me and mk2 finished it off yesterday.
bloody wonderful stuff.
they have done the books justice.

xpost it's bonkers. has any other show ever gotten creative writing MFAs so right?? also John Stamos as a bearded hipster therapist.

you’ve sold me on it, I’m checking it out

If it's available in your part of the world, then the Icelandic film 'And Breathe Normally' is very much worth seeing.

finally started bodyguard, it's alright. not sure what the big hubhub was on either side; it's neither the greatest show ever, nor am I finding it 'rife with islamaphobia'. it's just weird to see rob stark in modern london.

Ron Stark is also the "hot dj" in that movie Ibiza.

i've only seen the trailer for 'bodyguard' but did not recognize robb stark at all

Heh "Ron" Stark.

nor am I finding it 'rife with islamaphobia'

Within the current context of British politics, it wasn't great!

it's neither the greatest show ever

Within the context of whatever shit's usually on BBC Sunday evening, it was pretty good!

i just started You and i just want to say I’m glad to see Lou Taylor Pucci looking normal & not playing a terminally ill character

I normally hate things that are narrated and i feel a bit gross about how stalky it is and I am still kinda on the fence but I believe in yall’s power of not steeering me wrong on this stuff so i’m gonna keep going

OH WAIT

yep ok in

Conan’s new show on here is pretty good. Basically his “on location” shtick (best part of his og shows imo) in various countries, different one per episode. Mexico one got me a little choked up.

milennial dexter is funny

finally started bodyguard, it's alright. not sure what the big hubhub was on either side; it's neither the greatest show ever, nor am I finding it 'rife with islamaphobia'.

haha, did that last night and had the same thought. Anyway, it's no Homeland in this department.

i give it a polite applause for a surprise ending regardless.

I keep thinking about starting You, but Page Badgely's (whatever his name is) measured and even orating in the trailer drives me crazy. I might have to give it a go though. I decided to start Pretty Little Liars as the thing to watch while I exercise at home and that show is extreme creepstery.

we watched like 5 episodes of You last night, it's great!

I kept comparing it, in my mind, to last year's film "the only living boy in new york" in that they both have hyper-literary characters; but You handles all of this deftly and amusingly while that film was some ponderous goddamned lit-grad-school showboating that made me want to kick my TV in.

'pretty little liars' is fucking painful; fun for a while and by like season 4 I was ready to kill myself and all the liars. I have no idea if they ever found out who A was and stopped caring.

Yeah, I might switch it out. I am only on episode 3 or 4 and the amount of adult men perving/getting it on with high school girls is really gross.

the narration is more or less constant, so this will probably be an issue

"the amount of adult men perving/getting it on with high school girls is really gross."

that never stops and indeed increases. though I guess the girls get older.

pll is an actively terrible and uninteresting show that i watched all of for some reason lol, not recommended unless you are really dedicated to trash

spoilers: ezra remains a shitty creepy love interest that they try to make seem like legit True Wuv for the entire show, they don't even kill him like they should've

well, 'Ghost Stories' was a perfect way to make a lazy Sunday afternoon a little more interesting.
mk2 even put his phone down and totally got into it.

Yeah, I was like, why can't these pervy men even be a little hot!?! I had higher hopes for the show.

Watching the third season of a Season of Unfortunate events. It really is something special. I can see people watching it for a long time to come.

Though I might be biased by my love of Patrick Warburton....

Mainlined You in a shamefully short timeframe. Tbh though I'm sort of annoyed at how much it wound up cribbing from Dexter

I’ll avoid based on that comment.

dexter meets gossip girl

Yikes

tidying up with marie kondo is way more engrossing than it has any right to be

So Rob Stark won a golden globe for Bodyguard??? Is he good in it?

nope

still bitter that Netflix rejected my pitch for Tidying Up With Jordan Peterson

they still have an option open on attempting a bowel movement with jordan peterson iirc

Did you get through all the Marie Kondo episodes? I bailed on episode 5 I think.

watched the first four, i think? last one we saw was the (totally adorbs) family of four who had downsized to a two-bedroom apartment in l.a.

it's good on-in-the-background fodder but the formula is pretty glaring from episode to episode

It got very very samey. And i had this weird feeling that some people were hoping for a lot of new furniture, renovations instead of...boxes.

ha, yeah - like there are some good tips and stuff in there but ultimately a lot of it comes down to 'put stuff in clear plastic boxes and stack foldable stuff upright'

i do find it weirdly soothing, tho
