Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

thanks so much man <3

calzino, i wouldn't mind an invite? forksclovetofu at the old gmail dot com

LBdL is ridiculous but yeah it's fun

xp
sent it forks.

unfortunately The Bureau eps on there are lacking subtitles, but season 1 + 2 is on kat with full subs.

thanks!

santa clarita diet is.... sort of 'off' in some way?? i think we're about 4 episodes in. the body-eating is too much for me, i have to cover my eyes. but everything about the show is just... off. drew's acting is bizarrely wooden, it's weird seeing timothy olyphant playing a goofy role (tbh he's the only reason i'm sticking with the show - he's definitely in my top 5 hall-of-fame would-smash), and a lot of the dialogue is really odd and stiff.

this looks cool.

drew's acting is bizarrely wooden

because they catapulted her character into the big premise (and therefore never showed viewers who she was), it's unclear whether the wooden acting is a result of that change or just barrymore's lack of interest.

didn't watch the trailer but I assume it's a Girls/Lost crossover?

it's about girls who turn into boys. looks weird.

The Bureau sounds interesting but unfortunately its not on Irish netflix yet. The first suggestion was a Norwegian show about Russia and climate change, has anyone seen it?

damn netflix sucks mad shit lately.

no way, Finding Dory.

damn netflix sucks mad shit lately.

they're all about their own library now. the third party offerings seem to be about bedding down a value proposition rather than being netflix in 2014.

yah i know. 90% of their original content is butt.

just watch The Third Man. The Third Man is an excellent movie.

90% of their original content is butt.

nah

Frontier was good.

but it's FROTHY. i got that word from the new york times.

there's a brand new Voltron season.

Netflix sucks for old westerns though. there are five and they are all from the 60's. that's pretty sad.

Yes! It is very good.

Santa Clarita's first ten minutes are more amusing than expected and the actress playing Drew Barrymore's daughter is impressively similar to her.

I love the premise of Occupied but it felt to me like they were stretching a novel into an entire series. I lasted maybe 5 eps?

omg

Thanks, I'll give it a go

Started occupation tonight, by chance

I hear santa clarita is better by episode four, may just skip to there.

forks otm. there's a sudden shift in quality at episode four, and from that point it's legitimately well-acted and engrossing and funny.

Quick poll: Which of these films should I watch on Netflix?

Appropriate Behaviour
The Clan
Into The Inferno
Jack Reacher
Days Of Heaven (again)
The End of The Tour
Love
I Am Divine
It Happened One Night
Amanda Knox documentary
Mean Streets (again)
The Odessa File

it happened one night

yah

Agreed.

I am Divine is not very good.

If you know anything much about Divine then the doc is pointless.

enjoying Schitt'$ Creek! i don't know what took me so long. Catherine O'Hara is heaven.

US Netflix sounds so much better than the UK one...

Bah!

I liked End of the Tour a lot, Jason Segel just killed it.

I ended up watching Michael Mann's "Thief" with James Caan which I had never seen before. Awesome flick!

classic! love Thief

Thief was one of the first movies i ever saw where i went out the next day and got the soundtrack for it. my dad took me to see it.

i've not checked in a while, but the us netflix used to be choc-a-block with cheap garbage to pad the catalogue. unogs indicates the difference in number of titles isn't as huge as it once was.

I pretty much just watch non-U.S. television shows on Netflix, something that is still novel and exciting to me

Just watched the first two eps of The Bureau tonight, so much intrigue already. If you liked Okkupert Sarah, you'll love this even more.
