Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

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!!

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.

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.

"Another Life" - what if we made Alien but boring

Is there not a When They See Us thread? It might be a bit too late to start one.

"Another Life" - what if we made Alien but boring

They already did this, but it was just called "Life" then.

Ugh I need something to watch.

I am enjoying Trinkets. I am into this PNW/K records/shoplifters unite vibe.

erika: Good Morning Glass Blowers! - Blown Away: The Netflix Art Reality Show

New season of She-Ra, which is pretty good if that’s your thing.

new Derry Girls season is out, first one was funny in our estimation

The third season of Dear White People got a little meta but is pretty good still.

I finally started watching Ozark. Then I looked at the Ozark thread and everyone hates it there. Is that a commonly held opinion? I'm finding it diverting and amusing enough.

The second season is way worse. I am not bothering with the 3rd.

And I feel bad about Jason Bateman's buttshot.

I couldnt get through 2 episodes of it. cant remember why i hated it now.

I thought it was ok, but can't remember much about season two

The Netflix corporate motto.

there are a whole series of jokes on Dear White People about the 'third season of a Netflix show'.

lol milo otm

Frankly I watch almost every Netflix show in binges while high on the couch with my dog and therefore only see and retain one out of every four episodes

Lol that was exactly what I did until I moved somewhere where I have no idea how to get weed. Anyway I will watch the recent suggestions!

The Great Hackl -- about Cambridge Analytica and psychographic marketing re: 2016 US election and Brexit -- is up there with CitizenFour and Get Me Roger Stone as essential. And like CitizenFour it has the immediacy of following investigative reporters in the moment of doing their work.

hell of a cast here

Greta cast, but that still looks pretty bad. And not bad meaning good.

I'm surprised there doesn't seem to be a thread for or any talk about Jeff Sharlett's series The Family?

Or did I just miss it?

decent stuff. been following his work for so long there aren't really any new uh revelations but it's new to my gf and she is very much like wtf!

I keep wavering on watching it (The Family). Did you enjoy it?

more odd new FRIENDS things:

there's a related shirt on maura's etsy link that I cannot believe exists

omg

i've been watching The Family and am also on episode 3
thoroughly disgusted! still watching...
the real kicker was seeing Mark Sanford on Meet the Press in the morning claiming that he was going to challenge _rump in the primary and then watching ep 2 where he visits the Appalachian Booty Trail and gets counseled about sinning in his gross xtian dorm for adult men.

i am having a very difficult time believing that any of them care about Jesus at all in spite of their loudly proclaimed Jesus myopia

watched two episodes of the family so far and think it's well-done — i'd forgotten about that terrible Sanford thing. Seems almost quaint now! What a bunch of assholes.

they are disgusting! i have a hard time believing anyone actually believes they were chosen by god. i realize this is probably a shortcoming of my own imagination but the degree of removal from reality required to believe that all of these men are chosen by god leaves me speechless. they are repulsive. still watching!

addendum: i have a hard time believing anyone actually believes they were chosen by god to hoard power and influence in the political sphere

I’m on ep 4 now and I’m here to say this is not “news” exactly but it’s horrifying to see the throughline of “Jesus and family and friends” spread like a virus all over the planet. The white supremacy machine never sleeps 😢

this planet is tragic and doomed as long as these people are working their “Jesus magic”

the part where the guy said “all you have to do is say his name — Jesus — and the doors open” 🤮

I am pretty much atheist, is this going to be as bewildering as the Abducted in Plain Sight documentary?

Way way worse imo — affects vastly larger swath of humanity than a tiny cult 👎

Or a single abduction

If the words “nonconsensual diplomacy” in the name of Jesus make you recoil, I think it’s important viewing
