Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

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

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

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

she'd read the book obv

omg Dracula is more corny than Dr Who

this is where I admit I’ve never seen a full episode of Dr. Who but have tried multiple times, because it just never works for me

This Dracula adaptation is at least horny. Unfortunately , Dracula himself is the least interesting (other than the treat of predation). is that the thing I missed with Who?

horniness?

Doctor Horny

silent w on wHorny

xxposts Yerac Ted Danson was on a very successful sitcom called Cheers and made all the money in the world and now after years of just hanging out and enjoying life he is suddenly performing at the top of his game on The Good Place.

is he jewish? or not a fine wine? I am so confused.

Danson and John Larroquette should have a show together.

Ted Danson is already going to be on the new Tina Fey sitcom, the one that was supposed to be a 30 Rock spinoff.

ok i think I see the disconnect.

Me: Talking about Eugene Levy being late in life peak attractive.
silby: jews get more attractive as they age
rogermexico: Ted Danson is doing a lot of good work later in his career (has nothing to do with jewishness or level of attractiveness)

Embrace the mystery

Syrian Jesus by Trump's bro Mark Burnett - yikes

Danson high point - George I’m bored to death. (Although very good in the good place as well)

I think Jon Stewart said that Jews age like avocados.

I loved Bored to Death

avocados don't age well, they should be refrigerated just as they get ripe

I did spend a couple of minutes googling if Ted Danson is Jewish. I figured Eugene Levy was because of the characters on the show.

I've now decided the logic is sound if, and only if, Ted Danson is a gentile and performing at the top of one's game is indistinguishable from attractiveness.

Originally, I thought rogermexico was trying to say Ted Danson is jewish and has aged terribly and how do you explain that, silby?
