Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

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.

I have the opening credits music stuck in my head now

waaaahhooooooooaaaaawwww

I envy any of you watching Hannibal for the first time.

I started reading the Hannibal thread up to the end of season 2 (finished it last night) and I don't know how I didn't know about this show when it was on, I somehow blocked it out. In the thread people reference Dexter and The Office still being on and I am like, where was I ??? I dunno. I didn't ever have cable or regular tv but I still streamed a lot. I have never watched any of those ncis csi police law and order types of shows so maybe I just lumped it in there.

that's why it got cancelled

Crudup left Mary Louise Parker for Claire Danes. Danes is now married to Dancy.

the ongoing career of billy crudup is one of those unfathomable mysteries, not least because of his personal-life shitheadery

Apparently Dancy is as much an asshole as Billy is.

Finally finished russian doll. This series was written for me. Husband got uncomfortable when I started yapping away ab how fantastic it is. Lol

The network more or less threw Hannibal away after the first season and pretty seriously threw it away for the last season... i think they aired it at like 10pmEST?

well you can't show stuff like that earlier in the night

I think it always aired at that time? 8pm central isn't really a Hannibal time slot

iirc CSI was (nearly?) always a 10 eastern/9 central show and it only approached Hannibal levels of gore on occasion

yeah but it was on a saturday slot! nobody is watching this at 10 on a saturday!

i guess if this was on today it would be on Starz and would be equally inaccessible. it's niche stuff!

if the violence in Hannibal was in a film it would be a hard R, i was pretty surprised the first time i saw it.

yeah pretty much everything that happens to mason verger would rank among the most grotesque violence in any tv show, not just network tv

it's all conveniently shown barely offscreen

our broadcast standards are pretty messed up in that you can do nearly anything as long as it's not directly shown
