Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

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:

deborah in particular is a delight

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.

Finally watched the OJ Sompson series. Found out it wasn’t Kato driving the Bronco. Lol

uh

Orlando Joomps Sompson

I like this Blown Away show. Good call. I appreciate how snappy the episodes are.

Although whenever they say "good morning, glassblowers" I change it into "good morning, cakesniffers."

I love how they just front out all the double entendres, too. Yes, it's a glory hole.

I love Deborah. I want to watch a show about 24 hours in her life.

RIght? She got VERY media savvy about halfway through and realized her persona was going to help her win this and went through an attitude shift. Never seen anyone do that on a reality show before, much respect.
her animal foot collection is dope: http://www.deborahczeresko.com/stampede.html

you know what: Good Morning Glass Blowers! - Blown Away: The Netflix Art Reality Show

Holy fuck at Another Life

holy fuck good or holy fuck bad?

i'm enjoying it one and a bit eps in: the earth bits are currently boring but i like william as the ship's alexa

is it good? it looked interesting and the reviews are awful.

weeeeell, what i "enjoy" is not always necessarily good :)

it's a bit like the core in space

Secret Obsession was very disappointing even by the trashy movie metric.

xps It's awful but kind of watchable and makes absolutely zero sense. The crew appear to have come straight from Love Island rather than an elite NASA training programme (although Love Island contestants are more intelligent) and despite a few comments along the lines of payload weight restrictions they seem to have about 3,000 hibernating crew members in reserve.

The depressing thing will be if this gets another season when Netflix are cancelling amazing (but less mainstream) shows like Tuca & Bertie. Think someone mentioned upthread that Netflix's new MO is to churn out new content every single week and I guess this fits that model but doesn't bode well for the future.

i'm not enjoying it less yet

"another life": is the netflix scifi series good or bad? EXPERTS DIFFER!!

Don't ignore the dedicated thread!

Dark: the German Netflix series that's like an amalgamation of Twin Peaks, Back to the Future, and X-Files (SPOILERS!)

I'm now trying El Ministerio del Tiempo (Spanish time travel silliness) but due to life it's taken me two days to watch half an hour so nothing to report yet. I'm removing Another Life from my list!

I actually had forgotten about that thread, because I'd been avoiding it till we finished watching the show.
