Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

detroiters is a sitcom, not sketch, brad, but you should definitely watch. lots of the weirdo energy of ITYSL shows up in the local news segments and ads in detroiters.

it's the best show I've ever seen. Somewhere between The Wire and Deadwood.

lol i looked it up afterward and nearly corrected myself. also my friends from michigan were raving about those segments and ads when it was on the air

The serie on Versace is pretty ace if you realize half it is made up. 🙄

watching the Korean palace intrigue + zombies series Kingdom and it's very good, looks amazing and has some interesting twists on the usual zombie genre tropes. also it's only 6 episodes long (w/a second season coming at some point) so it doesn't overstay its welcome and stretch the story too thin.

Yeah, surprisingly good, that one

I just watched Booksmart not knowing anything about it. I really liked it.

I kind of liked that Thom Yorke thing, despite not really being a Radiohead guy. Sort of reminded me of Holy Motors?

Is "Booksmart" streaming anywhere yet? Thought it was still in theaters.

the world is not the united states of america fyi

(it's been on netflix in France for about a fortnight. Shaft 5 went on euro netflix about a week after it lurched awkwardly into US cinemas too)

^^^It's showing up as a netflix presents in france xpost. Is Shaft also a new movie? It is also on netflix in Chile. I thought it was a weird new netflix series.

Shaft is the fifth movie in the Shaft Cinematic Universe, and the third to be called Shaft, despite there still being several unused titles from the novels. It is still in theatres in the US, came out a few weeks ago.

This was a timely article on why so many people watch Friends.

The new Shaft movie got an extremely brief UK cinema release recently, as well as some extremely negative reviews:

Can anyone recommend any good kids shows?

Mine are working their way through the dubbed "Go! Live Your Way" at the moment and it's driving me insane.

you're making it worse

“It’s just nice for younger people to see what life was like,” she said, as if describing Pompeii. “Before we just had, like, devices all the time, and we were always on iPads and stuff.”

Feel like this article pretty much cracks the code re: the popularity of Friends among the younger set. Something in that arena, anyway. Imagine never knowing a time before people were constantly absorbed in some handheld device or another. Depressing af.

yeah before that we were just regular old self-absorbed

Meeeemories

I feel like Shaft hasn't even come out in the the US yet. Or maybe it did last week? Anyway, digital release anywhere in the world means it's now on the bay of pirates.

It came out June 14th and flopped so hard it wasn't even around for the July 4th weekend in a lot of areas

Oh y'know I think I totally conflated the new Shaft with that Superfly remake that I remember seeing advertised but about whose actual release I have no memory whatsoever.

superfly was last year

Can anyone recommend any good kids shows?

Hilda is fantastic

that Superfly remake was actually decent

The Shaft remake was at a “Blues Brothers 2000” level of ill-conceived.

Everyone please watch Mean Streets!!!

that director, he's goin somewhere

new shaft was awesome

pvmic but i am totally and immediately hooked on Blown Away

Just watched S2E1 of Dark - what a way to end an opening episode. Despite watching a youtube season 1 recap i couldn't remember who half the characters were, but by the end i was extremely desirous that this shit be directly injected into my veins.

All I needed to hear was "Good morning, glass blowers!" I am on board.

but do they make bongs on that show?

no but they do make some really impresive art.

pretty very much i can't?

posts very much in character

anyways, i'm on the last episode; it's been loads of fun and i really wanna talk with people about the artists.
they did a good job of presenting the work so that you can accurately determine who wins and loses each week which is a surprisingly hard thing to pull off.

sample work from some of my faves:

http://www.deborahczeresko.com/
https://www.leahkudel.com/

deborah in particular is a delight
http://www.deborahczeresko.com/meat.html

she's a regular at my nearby BK glass blowing shop and i kinda really really wanna try it. it's fucking expensive though! Like $500 for a two day workshop or $850 for a six week workshop. And i gather this is the kind of thing i'd have to practice for several years before i could start exploring form intelligently. maybe someday.

Hilda is fantastic

Absolutely agree, it's 100% delightful and great for grownups too. HILDA on Netflix deserves its own thread

yeah Hilda is so well done

This site was a great help whilst watching:

xps We've watched Hilda and very much enjoyed it

Then got them to watch Over The Garden Wall which they loved too

we watched and loved steven universe as a family but that's on hulu or cartoon network not netflix

it is on Hulu! i think a season behind.
also the last season's on the Cartoon Network app (though you probably only have access if you're already on cable)

Over the Garden Wall is incredible.

Been watching Blown Away, it's pretty good. More intense than the GB shows (bake off, pottery throwdown, sewing bee); partly because it's just a more intense discipline, partly because the contestants are more experienced and can push the envelope more, but also partly because lol americans. I kind of miss the multiple challenges format but at least the eps are short and you can zip through it all pretty quickly.

Yeah, the hardcore Iron-Chefness of it is a bit wearing when you're used to the gentler pace of the British shows.
