Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

Yes it was. I was going to ask her if she was at the top of her game but then I realised that was a dumb question because of course she was.

Sleep is where I’m at peak attractiveness (that is, where I excel)

Teds some some good stuff but I can’t get the blackface photo out is my mind.

Bored To Death is also peak attractiveness for Danson.

yes

also a friend of mine dated Rick Moranis for a while and really thought highly of him, so i like him too

Moranis didn’t do any work that would harm his ability to raise his kids for a couple decades, definitely
a solid dude

I have a blind item from a friend of mine who had a single date with Moranis and said he was a total MAGA hatter

MCGA surely

wow unexpected

didn't know that

Better MAGA than a giant Slor.

Ok I am at work so just skimmed this but Yerac otm as per ushe. I just recently binged all of Schitt’s Creek and loved it so so much. Also, just last week I was talking about how Eugene Levy is hot now! Then I saw him in a clip from American Pie and it only confirmed this. It’s amazing, really. I’m sure a lot of it is down to the grooming and styling on the show but I can’t get over it. Also didn’t realize until like 2 seasons in that Daniel is his son and I love him and he’s gorgeous, yes, he needs to be in everything.

Bored to death was the show with Jason schwartzman, right? That was a great show.

You is awful.

Lol the Levy - Moranis - Clooney comparison is perfect. Lol.

hold up what is rick moranis doing in there

Levy used to be a Moranis but now he’s a Clooney as per Yerac’s v astute observation.

80s eugene levy reminds me more of donnie iris -- dorky but not sheepish

I can’t believe I slept on Schitt’s Creek for so long, partly because of the name and partly because I expected a certain kind of Canadian/CBC middling production value - how wrong I was. It’s so good! I even don’t mind the name now - it just makes me think of Eugene Levy magically, charmingly convincing the CBC on the title, ha!

I also watched all of See on a free AppleTV trial and it was hilarious/weird (and actually refreshingly diverse in casting tbh) and made me think of everyone I know who works in film/tv in Vancouver and what they have to deal with on a daily basis re: California $$$. Will watch again even though it’s hard to imagine that Apple will throw as much money at the second season as they did at the first.

Fully agree on Moranis-Clooney-Levy theory!

i am near a tv with POP for the next two months so there was a Eugene Levy - Colin Firth level wet shirt scene in the new episode. And Twyla is a Levy too!

There was a NYT article on Schitt's yesterday. I am sad I missed out on the auctions they have had on all the clothes.

I like talking like Moira.

Hahaa! Totally :D

I almost forgot that I watched most of the first episode of See! I should support Jason Momoa, knowing now that apparently he grew up relatively close to where I lived during high school

so should i bother?

not dating jason momoa, watching "see" i mean

you should bother dating him if you have the chance, i'd say

I was really supportive of you for a minute there until the clarification, fwiw

the jesus thing was an entertaining goof, never over the course of the entire thing did I stop thinking the minister was Fred Armisen

i'm late to reply (stuck in CES hell) but Alba nailed it and is authorized to translate on my behalf forevermore

It is:

How can a man as old as Eugene Levy be hitting peak attractiveness?

Because he is Jewish

Ah, but it can't just be Jewishness that enables men as old as Eugene Levy to be hitting peak attractiveness because Ted Danson, who is similarly old but not Jewish, pulls off the same trick of being at the top of his game, which, by the way, is just another way of saying he's at peak attractiveness.

but i'll admit young ted danson may have had it goin' on physically in a way that perhaps young eugene levy did not idk

No reason to be sly here, rogermexico. Say what you really want.

Eugene Levy is no David Schwimmer.

the corere premise of Danson's character for eleven years of Cheers was that he was extremely fuckable tbf

corefefve

I thought his being an ex ball player and owning a bar was doing the heavy lifting of Sam Malone's f-ability.

Netflix is basically just another shitty cable channel now

I don't know. I have spectrum for two months at a temporary place and the type of stuff on tv is bonkers. I haven't watched cable for any length of time in over a decade and I am enthralled by TLC. What am I learning?!?

the sum of all shitty cable channels, tbh, except no beastmaster

USA and TBS have had more good shows than Netflix

commercials tho

Aren't the good shows on those channels on netflix?

I can kind of see how people end up watching cable news by default all day as filler when you have gotten into a habit of always having the tv on. But whatever, it's all just tv. I just like having my monthly regular overhead super, simplistically low.

xp Netflix seems worse because they're so heavy-handed in pushing their mostly shit original content.

Sam Malone was meant to be hot.

xp talking of which has anyone else watched V Wars?

Got up to about episode 5 or 6 before Christmas and whilst it was dumb it was also fun in parts but haven't gone back since as switched to The Witcher and also trying to rewatch all of BoJack before the final episodes air at the end of the month

Watched two episodes of V Wars, fell asleep halfway through the third ep, never felt like picking it back up. Mostly amused that Ian Somerhalder spent 10 years on a teen vampire show only to end up on a way too earnest “grownup” vampire show.

I don't actually like this brave new world of streaming service TV - it's just doesn't work for me. I like to turn the TV on and watch the best thing that happens to be on. I also like to know that something is on at 10pm and switch over for it. If I have to choose, I just can't. Practically nothing has been good enough to choose from a menu. I go through the Netflix and Prime menus all the time and spend ages doing it then turn the telly off. I honestly think the only Netflix only show I've ever loved is Russian Doll, and that show really does means a lot to me but doesn't, essentially/practically mean more to me than Emmerdale being on at 7 or The Chase being on at 5 or the news being on when the news is on. I could watch Emmerdale or the chase on catchup/streaming, if I missed it, but I never do that either because, again, that's a choice and I feel like I already have to make too many.
