NFT: Netflix recommendations?

Ed Harris and Jason Sudekis......excellent film.

If you're looking for something cheery and mindless I love The Great British Baking Show.

Master of None.

countries. I noticed there is a lot of Indian movies on there.

I liked Dark a lot. It is basically Stranger Things without the comic relief.

.

I have Dark on my list but I need to watch that when the kids are not around. I can’t seem to ever do subtitles when they are about. However it looks great

When I started watching the first episode I was a bit dubious as to whether I'd like it, but it turned out great. The only issue is that it's all regional UK accents and sometimes it feels like I'm listening to a different language. But the acting is very good.

And Elizabeth Olsen. Good flick.

has disappointed recently in that they don't seem to be adding a lot of new content. I thought the opposite would be true when they raised their rates.

Also, weird that Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Hulu all seem to offer the same movies...wish there was more diversity and more of the older classics.

It was surprisingly awesome. It isn't going to win any awards but just the nostalgia is well worth it. I thought it was very well done with the jokes that make fun of themselves.

is really extraordinary if you are in any way interested in German history during the Weimer period and the impact on ordinary Germans of losing the First World War. All wrapped up in a detective "film noir" type story.

Best thing I have seen in a long time.

Enjoyed Luther as well. English actor from the Wire (Stringer Bell) as a detective dealing with serial killers and his own demons.
Review on Rotten tomatoes - ( New Window )

it's a documentary about fighting in hockey - told from the perspective of the fighters.

It is sort of like a documentary on gladiators, by gladiators.

if you're a hockey fan at all you will find it riveting.

if you're not a hockey fan, maybe not a good suggestion for you.

Killing Eve is killing it. Episode 4 next Sunday. You can stream the old ones.

The Bluth Company staircar has been seen around NYC !!!!!

...for me, once proud of watching nearly no TV, binge-watching has gotten to the point where I need to set limits to my own watching.

I can't get over the quality of all that is out there.

NETFLIX?
- PEAKY FUCKING BLINDERS: 1920's British Gangster Drama with Sam Neil as an 'Elliot Ness' type - show ROCKS. We'd watch it with stereo cranked - sountrack is the BALLS.

- Bloodline: Beautiful, addictive drama of a royally fucked up family. Sissy Spacek, Kyle Chandler, Linda Cardellini star are all great in this one.

- Black Mirror: My current binge. 'Twilight Zone' for the new generation - twisted, bizarre storylines built on modern and future technologies. Writing is fantastic, production top-shelf. (Electric Dreams on Amazon right on the same page)

- Portlandia: I'm late to the game on this one - really funny sketch comedy show with Fred Armisted and Carrie Brownstein(Sleater Kinney guitarist). Fred's humor, well known from SNL is well represented here.

- Lost in Space: Writing isn't my favorite, but show looks fantastic - worth watching the pilot.


Also, well known 'Halt and Catch Fire', 'Stranger Things', 'Shameless' (William Macy).

We're also big fans of 'The Path' with Aaron Paul - that's on Hulu.

Try to limit ourselves to one hour per night.

kind of a psychological experiment wrapped up nicely in an hour. A British celebrity magician tries to convince someone to commit murder. Watch to the end - it's worth it.

Manhunt
Babylon Berlin
Money Heist
Mind Hunters
Stranger Things
Peaky Blinders
Narcos
Black Mirror
Jessica Jones

I was a little disappointed in Mind Hunters. It started off very interesting but they got away from the serial killers and just created their own issues to create more drama. I thought those angles were not realistic and annoying. The serial killer aspect is what is really interesting.

Please tell me what you liked about Ozark. I stuck with the entire season, but it was solely because I like Bateman and wanted the show to be good. The story is weak and the characters are odd and unbelievable.

Sci Fi Movie with Amanda Seyfried and Clive Owen. She is a smoke show.

watch with subtitles and thank me later. And on that note go watch Dark.

i think it's just a reality of TV&movies today that they have to market to both men and women so you get some of those storylines. i didn't think it was over the top a la Gangs of NY where that stupid Cameron Diaz storyline just ruined the whole movie. MindHunters co marketing was manageable.

The CG is very good. Nice spin on the original story. Does some flash backs which I am not a fan of but it is necessary for the way the started the show.

A lot of forced humor. My wife comments that the family does stupid things to constantly put themselves in harms way.

I like the way they introduced Dr. Smith's character and Don West. I also liked the story how its not just them that was on their way to Alpha Centuri.

Slow in spots, but it is worth a watch if you like Sci Fi and the original Lost in Space.

Don't get me wrong. I liked the show. I just thought it fell off toward the end. I don't want to have spoilers in here so I won't get into specifics. I am fine with their personal lives being intertwined because it shows how the stress of the job affects that aspect but there was other stuff in there that was just too unbelievable.

Give it a few shows and you will really like it.

Also if you haven't seen Shameless what are you waiting for?

I really enjoyed Cobra Kai. It's very well done. Almost better than the original Karate Kid.

So have your finger on pause for the sex on Shameless.

Also there is violence in both my recommendations.

Money Heist

Spain's Ocean's 11

this site for recs
reddit - ( New Window )

that most have never seen. In my top 5 of all time.

Yet I got hooked on Bordertown and Borderliner.......

as others have said, if you haven't already done it.

Premise in season 1 is: you are in post WWI Brimingham. There are three main factions, 1) the local crime-gang familys, 2)The IRA, 3) local organizing communists. In the middle of all this, a huge shipment of machine guns bound for the front lines goes missing. It's great!

Two was meh, 3 was a bit better IMO. Who ever said Killing Eve was great is not kidding, my favorite new show this year.

It really makes every show better. I put them on for shows en English as well and you get so much more information, background convos, etc.

not quite at the Littlefinger level, but Parker Posey's Dr. Smith causes just enough mayhem to keep you interested.

Cobrai Kai was fantastic and hysterical... Rebooting the story through Johnny's perspective was perfect...

I watched first two eps on you tube for free. Exactly as you described.

Grace and Frankie,
Wild, Wild Country (docu on cult followers of Indian guru who took over a small Oregon town)
Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee
My Next Guest Needs No Introduction (Letterman interview show)
Agree on Babylon Berlin, Lost in Space.

an English series about two high school kids who run away. Also, just finished Fallett, a Swedish crime investigation conducted by two stupid detectives. It's enhanced by the fact that many of the other employees of the department are stupider than they are.

who have added suggestions here. I think my watch list is now set for the next year. Had a thought while reading through this thread....

Who watches Network Television nowadays? I never really thought about it, but I realize I cant remember the last network TV show that ive watched. Seriously....it may have been pre-Soprano's!

On the big four I watch Gotham, Timeless, Agents Of Shield and Lucifer.

I also watch most of the CW superhero shows.

I watch mostly sports and HBO or Showtime, but my 10 year old daughter loves the Goldbergs so we watch that on Wednesday nights together. the family in the show are philly sports fans which sucks and it's not comedy most on here would appreciate, but I like the old-school sitcom style and the father daughter bonding time. The Middle too on Tuesdays we watch together.

I look forward to 8pm on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, since she finds both shows entertaining.

all, really really appreciate the input.


Just watched Kodachrome, and it was really good, very much sursprised me.

is pretty good
