Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

Is that different from the Jeremy Irons one?

yes, totally different show. The Jeremy Irons one was a Showtime (?) series, this one is a Canal production, and the cast's accents are from all over the place.

Buck Angel documentary is up; can't vouch for the quality, but the subject is a real character.

I feel like there's nothing I want to watch anymore.

It's very vexing.

Just watched The Queen of Versailles, christ alive what a twat that David Siegel is

― the Shearer of simulated snowsex etc. (Dwight Yorke), Sunday, October 20, 2013

i'm bias because i know about his anti-obama activities during the 2012 campaign, but i'm watching this now, and -- yeah.

the more i watch this, the more infuriating it is.

I've had him in my death pool ever since.

Thank god, The Keep is back up.

Oh good!

Also:

Ghostbusters 2
Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage

and The Returned just added

watched ep 1 this is great

Archer Season 4

Finally!

Cool, "Rectify" is up.

fruit hunters is really good.

there are some really passionate, loopy people in the world!

Speaking of which, watched Room 237 this weekend. Really liked that the interviewees are all voice-overs.

:) thx goole

anyone watch teh returned?

yeah, i dunno, fruit hunters kind of sucked. i mean, it was well-directed, but whoever wrote it should really go back to writing restaurant reviews.

people, recommend me some Movies on netflix. not TV shows, not documentaries, i mean some real Movies.

The Returned (French supernatural drama on Channel 4) xpost

The returned is really really good

The Hunt was great.

The keep is not worth keeping.

the help can't be helped

the returned will keep you on the hunt for a second helping

watched first ep of returned a few nights ago -- really enjoyable.
still a stan for the scando-fun of ANNIKE BENGTZON: CRIME REPORTER.

The Grey is well shaded.

i liked the returned, found the ending a bit too cryptic, then realized there was gonna be a second season

(but im L O S T - shy)

The Returned is one of the best things I've ever found on Netflix.

I've been ignoring it because I thought I was confusing it with The 4400 or some other terrible show but now I will watch immediately! Also the French title is "Les Revenants" which is fascinating because a revenant is a terrible monster even in English. Spooky!

ya i felt like a bit of a dummy not realizing before that revenant just means comer-backer

or like, comer-againer

The spookiest thing to me is that I'm understanding some words of French. If I don't post again inside 12 hours, someone call the authorities, okay?

im sure you'll be back

lol yeah it's the 4400 vibes that have me not wanting to touch it. and i watched the whole run of that damn show

still a stan for the scando-fun of ANNIKE BENGTZON: CRIME REPORTER.

Yes! I will watch pretty much any Scandinavian crime stuff but this was really fun.

The Returned is genuinely great. Easily the best programme aired in the UK last year.

not watching the Returned because it shares a plot element with the 4400 is like not watching Deadwood because you didn't like Wild Wild West.

thanks, now imagining Deadwood with giant spider robots

might have been an improvement

I wanted to watch the Returned but now ILX tells me it has a cryptic ending because there was supposed to be another season. Is this going to be endlessly frustrating?

I'd like to return to the returned.

so few shows have satisfying closers, I try not to use that as a factor in watching

This is a "village" where everyone knows each other but there are multi-story apartment buildings and a bus system? France, man.

Series 2 airs this year, iirc. It's not like it was cancelled before they had a chance to resolve things.

i think they pushed back filming ssn 2 to 2015. the French and their vacations.

i started watching Lonesome Dove last night.
I love Tommy Lee Jones, fyi.

lonesome dove is incredible. kind of a pioneer (lol?) in kinda grim and violent tv as well

oh man I love lonesome dove

I thought the implication was that it was cancelled before it's time. Good to know it'll have a second season, which will no doubt end with satisfying closure.
