Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

how on earth could Koteas have won that poll?

Meloni is funny and charming and solid but Koteas is just a better actor.

oh man, read this, seems like the nicest guy in the world:

I'm sure Meloni's great too.

was put off of Koteas when I watched a documentary about the making of The Thin Red yin.

i like to check in here now & then to make sure you ppl are just watching 4000 TV series and not 'flix'

we appreciate your concern!!

happy to oblige

just saw a tweet yesterday that they have about eight pre-1970 non-documentaries in their fab collection

i did make the mistake of watching a movie on netflix recently. it was about a sad indian math genius and jeremy irons makes him come to england because he's in love with him but jeremy irons keeps forgetting to make sure that the math genius has anything to eat so the math genius starves and dies.

believe me, it will be NOTHING but t.v. shows on netflix for a very long time.

I watched the Rachel Dolezal doc while exercising. I didn't think it would happen, but I felt bad for her.

I felt bad for her, then I didn't

mostly felt bad for the kids

That much abuse will mess up anyone.

Amazon Prime has a slightly better selection of movies, incl some older ones but I mostly get my classic movies fix dvr’d on Turner Classics

don’t think it works outside the uk but the free bfi add on to prime is a+

it's not free!

or it's no longer free, that's for sure. it's £4.99 per month

ah. still v worthwhile imo.

(i don’t think it can ever have been free my bad)

I mostly get my classic movies fix dvr’d on Turner Classics

^ knows what's up

Filmstruck has a nice little selection of TCM movies

If anyone has any advice on how to deal with this problem in Canada, I would be very appreciative

Xps I watched the dolezal doc too and came away feeling about the same as you. There were points where I felt like she truly believes and experiences being “trans racial” but then hearing the anecdotes from her African American colleague about how she always had to one-up people when it came to experiencing racism - that was telling. In the end, I felt 50/50 on how sincere she was, but as a non-Black person I also don’t feel qualified to have a strong opinion on her sincerity. The kids definitely suffered the worst.

I am enjoying Santa Clarita Diet. I like that they are short episodes and that it got right to the grossness.

13 Reasons Why S2 was intense then

also pretty good, although i'm still not sold on Clay (actor or character)

Not watched that yet but looking forward to it despite the middling reviews

time-travelling adventure tv show timeless turned out to be way more enjoyable than i was expecting

i started watching it when it first aired & couldnt hang . i couldnt get past the handwavey timewimeyness. i was on the phone to the Department of Temporal Investigations after like 2 episodes lol

it def gets better! and the timeywimeyness leads to some interestingly weirdo situations as time gets increasingly fucked as the show goes along

also the casting folks do a fantastic job of finding unfamiliar and really talented character actors to play the supporting parts each episode

13 Reasons Why season 2 was infuriating but I will still watch it if season 3 comes out. The actor that plays Clay has a definite Ross Gellar/Ted Mosby unlikeability vibe.

really enjoyed 'evil genius' -- not sure how I didn''t remember this case

I watched Ibiza. I was surprised that it was goofier than expected (omg that jizz scene). And Rob Stark is in it!!!

michelle wolf's show is a good start, the amazon sketch was dreadful though

Ohhhh, thank you for reminding me that it's on.

Just watched. I think once they get the obvious things out of the way it will settle into something good. There were definite lol moments in her opening stand up.

I just watched that jared leto is a throat stabbing mannequin movie Outsider. Don't watch it.

I gave Champions two episodes because I am a Mindy Project fan, but it is not good.

Finally relunctantly watched Atypical, (it's been on our queue forever). Finished it in two days. VG+

I need something I can watch tonight and just hit "next episode" on as I fold laundry and organize things. What should I watch??

izombie

otm

izombie is a great laundry show yea

Halt and catch fire. Laundry for the first five episodes then regular for the rest.

Has anyone watched the Hannah Gadsby - Nanette special? Kinda emotionally devastating

i heard her on NPR and thought "i don't really want to listen to anyone yelling, even if I agree with them". but maybe it's good.

it is good, but that's fair. it does become a full-on lecture at a certain point
