Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

gotcha. yeah I've only ever seen it done when the credits are just literally the same thing every time.

xp but I WANTED to skip Coach Steve singing "Changes"!

btw Bigmouth S3 is, imo, a significant step up, "Do The Thing" and the cell phone episode were great

but I WANTED to skip Coach Steve singing "Changes"!

ha ha :D

I love that show but Coach Steve is a truly disturbing individual lol

Amazon do the skip closing credits thing but in a much more infuriating way as it'll automatically start the next episode within about 3 seconds of the credits starting running.

I've also noticed that if you're watching two episodes in a row on Netflix, the next episode will start after the 'previously on' section but at least will usually play all the closing credits before switching. I think these features also vary from device to device and pretty sure there's an auto play option in your account settings that you can uncheck if you don't want it to do it

Yes the Netflix app on the amazon fire stick attached to my tv no longer gives me the option to watch closing credits. You can either watch trailers while the credits play in the left top corner or go back to browse main menu only.

It does the same on the all4 app but the picture in picture credits box is even smaller. Incredibly frustrating. The shot playing under the closing credits to the last ep of Catastrophe were pretty crucial but you couldn’t see them.

I started The Witcher. These things are always so weird that they shoehorn female nudity in like everyone is so hetero male gaze-y even in fantasyland.

Like, that wizard is danish, don't tell me he wouldn't have a couple of young nubile men in his thought harem.

The John Mulaney Sack Lunch Bunch is so good. And Gyllenhaal !lert! for certain people.

Season 2 of "You": this show is still bonkers and amazing. Joe is the dumbest serial killer on TV.

Sack Lunch Bunch is sooo weird, and aimed at ... I have no idea. But Jake deserves an Emmy.

It's like, a kids show for people who don't have kids? Mulaney doesn't have kids?

I started watching the second season of You yesterday while rowing and I rowed 10k without even realizing it. It's just filled with great, bad decisions everywhere.

I loved Sack Lunch Bunch, and also have no idea it's for. But I'm about Mulaney's age and have no kids, and found it weird and charming, so maybe me?

yeah, same. I don't have kids (slightly older than mulaney) and I thought it was great. I loved the chess and the NYC segments.

Trying “You” again but it makes my skin crawl like a Larry Clark movie.

I should put in here that I am very, very terribly late in discovering Schitt's Creek. I didn't know what to expect but such terrible people made so lovable. Everyone is so good in it. I just finished season 4. It has been our thing to watch over breakfast.

Yah it’s a great comfort food show

The witcher needs its own thread

“Nailed It” with Jacques Torres is probably some of the funniest TV we’ve seen all year

I totally get why people would be skeeved out by "You" and don't blame anyone for not watching it - Joe's behaviour is very stalker-y and gross, and his narration doesn't allow you to escape from being inside his head. 

The appeal for me is the way it sends up toxic rom com and "Nice Guy" tropes, the mentality of men who refuse to see women as real people instead of living fantasy dolls. Season 2 goes a little further - exploring what happens when law enforcement/society fails victims of sexual violence, the links between trauma and (self)abusive behaviour, and deconstructing the idea of the perfect girl.

it's a deeply feminist show as seen through the eyes of a male serial killer of women, with all the implausible wtf plot twists and ridiculous dialogue of a Lifetime melodrama. it's gross yeah, but also totally insane and smart and great and Badgley is perfectly cast.

it's also incredibly funny - i enjoyed "the seven totems of LA" bit from this season. and the LSD episode.

The Two Popes is excellent

It's almost fascinating in a way how boring The Circle is - like there's no way a show where people sit by themselves and just text each other for an hour this would pass muster at one of the big four networks so this show is basically a result of Netflix's "green light everything, cancel after" strategy

It's based on a UK show. And it's good

Although I absolutely accept that it seems impossibly tedious at first blush (and I haven't seen the American one)

i’m on episode three of the second season of you and it’s fuckin great ridiculous trash! again!

I know I said I couldn’t bring myself to watch it bc of the eyerolly name but yeah schitt’s creek is a delight

it really is

oh yeah, the name is a terrible name for a show that good. And how is Eugene Levy all of a sudden hitting his peak attractiveness?

I actually just finished season 5 last night. It's such a calming show to watch.

Jews age like fine wine

okay but explain Ted Danson

OMG Six Underground is ludicrous trash but the action set pieces (of which there are a TON) are amazing. Pure Michael Bay distillate.

Carole and Tuesday is back but I gave up on it when it turns out Pitchfork is still around.

Don’t @ me but Dracula is pretty good. I watched ep1 last night & enjoyed it immensely

some talk in RIP Dracula , mostly by ppl who didn't realise the revive was about the show

I may need someone to explain Ted Danson to me. xpost.

also I still really enjoy Anne with an E. I love the opening a lot.

It's all downhill from ep 1 xpost

thx eeyore

Six Underground's action is amazing coherent for late period Michael Bay

high concept garbage plot, of course

Ryan Reynolds seems to only ever play Ryan Reynolds, in much the same way Tom Cruise only ever plays Tom Cruise.

don’t listen veg, ep 2 is great & has way more Dolly Wells

xp most definitely! the thing that kills me is movies where Reynolds is supposed to be funny and it’s all based on his vocal inflections, facial tics, and ad libs. he’s not actually funny.

I think Six Underground doesn’t try for a funny Reynolds but merely a somewhat charismatic one, and it’s ok

Netflix is trying to get me to watch this Dracula thing and it’s got a weird tone now that I’m a little ways in

I was not expecting that opening with nuns ending their questioning with: “So, did you fuck Dracula?”

ryan reynolds needs to be stopped.

otm
