Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

For a popular science documentary abt life on our planet it's as elucidating as any I've seen. Neatly organized and creatively edited and full of whoa! moments

Netflix destroy instantly

Cor blimey that Ricky Gervais and his dark twisted sense of humour, eh?

lol

he says what we're all thinking!

lol again

Third season of The Magicians is a big improvement on an already-decent-enough show. When I finish I've got to figure out a way to watch S4.

So we watched the first season and it was just such a troubling show (using rape and molestation in gratuitous cheap ways) we stopped there. Does it actually get better? Bc misanthropic Harry Potter really does feel a little shallow as a premise

When I finish I've got to figure out a way to watch S4.

The internet?

S4 has been excellent so far too

not netflix but hulu: PEN15 is ok. not hysterically funny but I liked the three episodes I watched last night.

Just finished Umbrella Academy. It was kind of fun. Some of the casting was bad and some special effects, especially at the end, were really cringey. I didn't realize until after that this was a Gerard Butler graphic novel so more of the stylization made sense.

gerard way! his tone is evident from the moment ellen page starts playing phantom of the opera songs on violin

hahahaha! Gerard Butler has so many surprising hobbies!

I was never a fan of his band so I only was going by surface visuals.

you can def feel it immediately even with an only passing familiarity with mcr

yeah, all those heavily stylized, emo-adjacent bands from that era completely passed me by.

I liked the entire UA although the last episode was really bad.

Gerard Way, isn't it? Unless you're all just making a terrible joke

Yeah, it was a mistake that I was laughing at while envisioning gerard butler's mcr side project.

2nd season of Suburra is up.. i'm gonna rewatch the first seasons so i'm refreshed.

ian, there's going to be a new season of money heist. bella ciao bella ciao

NICE. DETECTIVE PIRAS IS BAE

oops,not Piras, she's the detective in a book I read. Raquel!

i watched BODYGUARD. pretty solid, very much like a UK 24 i guess except w/better performances. A million red herrings, which didn't bother me too much. Keeley Hawes and Gina McKee were the standouts in the show, and I liked Stuart Bowman as the glowering MI5 prick. pretty racist at the end there, though!!

Such a bad ending! Other than that I enjoyed it. Similar to other British mystery/thriller shows where they are so involved in having a twist at the end that the ending can feel cheap or unearned. See: Broadchurch.

Thought Umbrella Academy was patchy and mostly bad but Ellen Page in full Gerard Way drag at the end almost made it all worth it. But yeah, it was very, very MCR.

Did not realise until it was over that Klaus was played by Nathan from Misfits!

this makes me happy that i know 0 about MCR.i couldn't even name a song that Gerard Butler wrote.

I feel like Ellen Page was over the nonsense midway through and just phoned in the rest or else was badly miscast. I can't decide about her. I still thought the whole thing was overall fun though.

I thought Umbrella Academy was a little overstuffed w/the time travel agent subplots but actually liked the ending. They fully committed to the season being a story about getting the band back together

half way through the UA and it and i rather like it , granted i had very low expectations going in.

I just started watching 'you' but saw everyone upthread ditched it. It's trashy but I quite like it so far? Apart from the voiceover reminding me of Dexter's smuggest moments. The main girl's face is incredibly irritating though.

very Dexter .it's pretty silly but we watched it

Oh, I thought most of the people here watched it (you). It was ridiculous but fun.

i loved it a lot but i'm a big fan of ridiculous trash

^^same

yeah I thought only one or two people ditched it? I watched the whole thing

ok ok I didn't ctrl+f 'you', just found a few ppl saying they stopped watching it!

i ditched it

ditched

i couldnt

i usually see shows thru to the bitter end unless it's Sons of Anarchy or Peaky Blinders

two episodes of 'you' and left. it's probably okay?

“It’s probably OK” could be the tag line for every Netflix original movie or TV show I’ve seen.

I just finished that Rebel Wilson new rom-com. It's ok.

this is coming soon. at one point it was supposed to be directed by Kathryn Bigelow.

discovered the documentary "Peter and the Farm" is streaming there. it's a fairly grim picture about a farmer in Vermont juggling with keeping himself and his farm together. dug it.

I usually see shows thru to the bitter end unless it's Sons of Anarchy or Peaky Blinders

Haha, I had to bail on these too

you guys are very smart for not finishing sons of anarchy. my life is considerably worse having completed it

I watched all of Peaky Blinders, and it was so dumb.

lol just thinking about the ending of sons of anarchy has me getting angry.

Think I lasted four or five episodes of SoA.

Kind of sad I never got to see the much maligned third season

I am removing Peaky Blinders from my queue right now.
