Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

season 1's brief cycle of "outrageous serial killers of the week" is prob the weakest part of the show

i hope it's not spoiling anything to mention the red dragon plot happening but i feel like the show telegraphs that it's gonna get there

i truly love Silence of the Lambs but i think Mikkelsen is the best Lector. The right balance of charisma and likability and humor and absolute horror.

he has plenty of outstanding jokes throughout the show that are also referencing his own proclivities, just made to impress himself. love it.

I don't know anything about the Red Dragon plot. And yeah I didn't really care about any of the motw serial killers.

Mikkelsen is really good in this, but I don't know if it's because he is insanely hot and I keep waiting for him and Will to make out. And Lector has really nice stemware.

i think Hopkins was excellent in SOTL but he was not at all charming, simply fearsome and charismatic. Mikkelsen really accentuates the charming aspect, which is key to the character and how he fooled people.

xp i have written and erased three or four notes that could qualify as spoilers in response to that post but suffice it to say you should keep watching

fuck, i'm gonna have to rewatch Hannibal sometime this year aren't i

yes

yerac when you finish season 3 you should watch my friend greg's puppet recaps of each episode. here's one that has nothing to do with the plot of the show

the final season in Venice (?) confused the hell out of me, i didnt finish it because everything felt like a hallucination even moreso than prev seasons

It's so weird, I just found out Hannibal was on NBC. It seems more of a cable show.

I pretend Hannibal ends at the midpoint of s3. I got basically nothing out of them remaking Red Dragon.

Hot dog. Yeah, I think I can get through the whole thing soon. It's only 26 more episodes.

hamibal is one of my favorite things the internet has ever produced, and i wish he did more shows

it’s so beautiful - costumes, set design, cinematography, even the practical & digital effects are 😱

hamibal was incredible

Oh, I love Hannibal.

I didn't mind the Red Dragon subplot, which was a lesser addition to the series, because it's mostly used as a vehicle to keep the interactions rolling. A little too much screentime overall but it's there to subvert the idea that there's a new status quo

hopefully these cats can get together at some point for their take on silence of the lambs (at least some of Hannibal found its way into the series, iirc)

I got basically nothing out of them remaking Red Dragon.

ugh simon i know we disagree often on matters of television and film but... NOT EVEN THE FINALE????

lol at Hamibal

I forget who posted this on the Hannibal thread but it is so so so great: http://lecterings.tumblr.com/tagged/jokeseries

the finale was a miss for me tbh

god I love that tumblr so much

xpost I got to the joke with Abigail in the frame before I realized that these jokes didn't occur in the show.

Haha, yeah you can absolutely hear the actors delivering them, it's uncanny

There is a Hannibal thread for talking about Hannibal.

it's fun to do this though

hmm last time I checked hannibal was the only tv series on netflix

It's on Bezos-Prime

we should talk about hannibal in every thread.

petition to change the domain to ilhannibal.com

hhh.ilhannibal.hom

TURN BACK YOU MADS FULES

If we include Amazon prime, I just discovered they have all of Dark Shadows. I was put off by trailers for the Johnny Depp film, but I've started watching it and it's great. And there's like 1200 episodes!

they have all of Little House on the Prairie too :D

awesome - how many episodes are there of that?

there are NINE seasons, and these are oldschool 20+ episode seasons so lots

i’ve been watching t0rrentzed eps up til now and am two seasons in. thank god theyre on prime now, much better quality.

it’s fun nostalgia but def prepare yourself for a lotta corny, HEAVY jesus messaging. especially the Landon-directed eps: pure christian cheese
i forgot how bad it was.

me, i’m in for the long haul bcz i am dying to see my childhood faves
1) When Mary goes blind
2) Albert morphine addiction 2 parter

there’s one episode I recall called I believeTHE LEGACY or something which begins with a flash forward to the present day with a woman buying an old piece of furniture and wondering about who made it and then we flash back and at the end of the episode we realize Pa Ingalls made it and then we flash back again to the woman loading up the furniture to take it home. Like that was the only legacy he’d left behind other than his family or something, this one thing he’d made that was around over one hundred years later.

lol that sounds very true to LHOTP

one thing is very clear to me already: Pa Ingalls SUCKS as a farmer

I went to LA and up to Thousand Oaks before Christmas and seeing the landscape kept making me think “it’s walnut grove, Minnesota!” and “it’s Hazzard County!” and “it’s South Korea!”.

haha

I just watched the first episode of Hannibal based on recommendations in this thread from people I trust. Mads is luscious but I can't imagine being able to watch much more of Hugh Jackman Dancy as ripped Det. Goren, does he get killed off pretty soon I hope?

lol that’s a no

would like to see Hettienne Park in more things, after Hannibal she's only appeared in a few shows, mostly in guest roles.

i can more or less assure you that Dancy warms on you over time

idk i find dancy great in hannibal from the jump

same

i like him too. He is a great american pedant because of his inherent britishness. I kept thinking he left a pregnant mary louise parker for claire danes and then realized i confused him with crudup.

I have one episode left in season 2 of Hannibal. I started calling it Wine Face because of the opening credits.
