Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

Next year some time, yeah!

I love the first two Transporters, but replacing Jim Henson and Frank Oz and David Odell and Brian Froud with the director of Clash Of The Titans and the writer of some Annihilation comics for Marvel doesn't seem like a recipe for improvement

I don't know if this thread is only about series or Netflix originals, but the film-geeks should check out 'Dovlatov' by Aleksei German Jr, which for some reason is on there. Not the best film in the world, but a different kind of experience.

I am expecting the dark crystal reboot to be soul-crushingly bad, so if it’s even halfway decent that’ll be ok #netflixstandards

i am really loving the cinematography in Sabrina, esp the phosphorescent greens & yellows & rich dark colors, and the weird blurred lens when magic is going on, the textures of the costumes, and i love the score too...it’s all been great for me so far. agree w rrrobyn that a good comedy writer could really make it.

they're using only puppetry in dark crystal so that's something.

Dovlatov! Love his books.

First episode of Sabrina was fine. Good mood and vibe, occasionally questionable acting choices and/or writing. I think we'll stick with it.

Salt Fat Acid Heat was great. Nice to see a local (to me) person getting this kind of attention. I could definitely see her taking up the Anthony Bourdain's position in the food world.

She's amazing. I loved her ease with languages.

Salt Fat Acid Heat is so joyful. So much less troubled than Bourdain. <3 the host.

I take it back, I think my wife was bored by Sabrina (whose missteps grated on me - the largest is probably its dark, violent vibe is paired with, essentially, cartoon characters, like the Look At Me, I'm EVIL teacher/witch or the quirky aunts/cousins, a vibe with at least in episode one doesn't work imo, so either I'll watch it with my ambivalent daughter or let her watch it with her Riverdale friends. Haunting of Hill House, however, we loved the first episode of that, but it's almost too good, in that it was *too* scary for my wife and daughter!

glad Hop Hop Evolution got a second batch of episodes, prob their best documentary (Wild Wild Country being the only real competition imo)

not sure if it's been covered in this thread, but lol: The Sinner quickly went from mildly intriguing to ridiculously terrible ...

xp
I'm excited to watch those. The first four were great, but when it ended I was like "why'd they stop right before getting to..." basically everything in the new eps.

I thought the first season of the sinner was fantastic!

I got rid of my account for a few years and now that I'm back it's fucking to find anything. Netflix seems to think all I care about are superhero shows.

s2 of the Sinner is so much better than s1

so not netflix, but just became available on amazon prime, and I am only bringing it up because of my pure astonishment on how unlikeable two very likeable actors are in this movie...but holy crap Destination Wedding was really, really bad.

Decided to try ep 3. Sabrina's constant wokeness is beginning to wear me down.

plenty of good in it but plenty of bad/clumsy/lazy stuff too, pity because the quality is def in it. herself is plugging through ive got ironing to do.

should i start a thread for Sabrina?

Yep

yeah sure its big enough

haha yeah. I started on the new season with the Southern ep, which does not disappoint

just really well researched, great interview subjects, occasionally incredible footage

ok Sabrina thread started under “double double toil and SATAN”

cannot link bcz on my phone but go there :D

ty!

I haven't seen that one yet. Although tbf I think even appearing on screen counts as "mentioned"

watched all the rest last night, so great. re: the Coup seems to me like they didn't get brought up because of the time-period in question. I mean, all of these recent eps basically cut off around '93 or so, at which point the Coup was just getting started. But that's also why the Southern episode doesn't get into Dungeon Family or Timbaland/Missy, NY ep doesn't get into Jay-Z, etc. I have no complaints about the overall timelines and scope, they tended to hit all the right points and major players.

all 3 infernal affairs movies are on UK netflix

I just started Dancing Queen and hoping to get more wig/makeup pointers.

can i recommend the Kindergarten Teacher again? you all are sleeping on that if you haven't seen it. I think it's Gyllenhallialllyghal's best performance yet

Salt Fat Acid Heat is enjoyable because Samin Nosrat is very charming and a good person to have in your living room for 40 minutes. The divisions are a bit random by episode three and I guess we've already heard almost everything a westerner has to say about Japanese food from David Chang et al but whatever.

Italy is incredibly beautiful in it.

Watched The Kindergarten Teacher today and it was moving, and creepy, and just odd. I really liked it. That the poetry is actually good (ymmv) really makes the movie. The Gyllenhaals sure pick interesting projects.

Damn, that's not on UK Netflix.

Seconded, Kindergarten Teacher is ace.

(Thanks, akm!)

The poetry was apparently written by a bunch of hip young poets my wife is familiar with.

Shirkers is excellent.

Anyone who uses as much salt as Samin Nosrat uses in her show is going to heave a heart attack.

no, they probably won't

enjoying maniac

am i meant to hear a word any cunts says

because i cant

but enjoying it

I don't know if this thread doubles as a catchall for other streaming services, but Lynne Ramsay's You Were Never Really Here is on Amazon Prime now.

And BPM is on Hulu, I see.

BPM is also on Kanopy for free.

My local library is too crappy for Kanopy, unfortunately.

aw! FYI for thread tho
