Netflix recommendations

My niece enjoyed watching the film "Sing" (she's a similar age) even though she had seen it before, which I believe is on Netflix. Singing animals, what's not to like? :hmm:
 
Click 'manage profiles' set a new one with her name, let her pic the avatar, set parental guidance on it then let her watch what she wants.

The Guilty. Danish thriller. Very good. A demoted copper working in the emergency call centre takes a call from a woman who's been kidnapped in a car and tries to save her using clues that she is able to give him, but there are several twists. Much, much better than I've probably made it sound.

It's great isn't it?
 
Typewriter. It is an Indian thriller/ horror ghost story mini series (5 episodes) set in Goa. High production values and Western style cinematography and special effects so don’t expect a Bollywood product.

Not superb but pretty decent sci-if entertainment, and far better than a lot of the Western output in Netflix’s sci fi catalogue. There’s a pleasant whiff of Stranger Things as well, as it has a strong child main lead character presence.

Me too. So what’s on Netflix atm that I can use as opium?

(I’m not into superhero stuff. Although I liked Jessica Jones, as an exception. Then I watched Defenders, but didn’t really get on with it, so was glad it was short).

(Parenthesis 2: I did watch Another Life. It started really bad, but I’ve watched everything else and for some reason I couldn’t tell you if I wanted to, I stuck with it. By the very end I got to like the characters, but I’m not going to pretend it’s worth sticking with. It isn’t).

(3. I tried Mars but couldn’t make it through the first episode. The talking heads with Elon Musk were too off-putting).

(4. I’m having visual problems, so though I’m normally cool with subtitles, I’d prefer to give them a rest for now).
 
Eyewitness. Another Scandi thriller; a Norwegian six-parter. Two secretly gay lads witness a mass gangland shooting whilst they're copping off in some woods. They can't tell anyone that they witnessed it because they'd have to explain what they were doing there. The series looks at the pressure and trauma of what they've seen and the breakdown of their relationship as well as the police procedural around the murders.

Excellent.

Following Spymaster's Norwegian recommendation, I have one of my own - Nobel. A Norwegian army sniper comes home to Oslo, to get mixed up with a case involving his high flyer civil servant wife, his junkie da, a corrupt Afghan warlord, a sinister Geldof type, and a Chinese/Norwegian trade deal worth (whisper it in hushed tones) thirty billion kroner.

While not quite 10/10 I might stick with it. I can even overlook the lead's hipster beard.
 
And more from Team Nørge: 12th Man, about the only survivor of a Norwegian army sabotage team on the run from the Nazis, and the civilians who help him.

A Scandi Bravo Two Zero-meets-The Guns Of Navarone with touches of Touching The Void and 127 Hours

And surely also the Fugitive? That sounds better suited to TV actually - the Nobel thing I saw last night would actually have worked better as a Scandi crime novel.
 
Loved 'The Guilty' brilliant gritty Nordic darkness. Edge of your seat stuff..... 'just pick up the bloody phone!' I found myself shouting! Amazing twists and turns.....phew!
 
Also watched The Guilty last night. Even my friend who can't usually do subtitles was gripped.

The Great Hack, film about Cambridge Analytica/Facebook is also well worth a look.
 
For the lack of something else to watch I put on Wu Assassin, it's ok, fairly decent kung fu, didn't hate the characters but they did feel a bit wooden at times. I'll probably watch the rest of the series but it's not really a must watch.

Did anyone else find with The Guilty that the subtitles also came with descriptions like 'phone rings'. It seemed impossible to keep the subtitles and lose these??
