Netflix recommendations

[Rik]

4 episodes into Making a Murderer and it's seriously wtf so far.

It's the story of Steven Avery who was wrongly convicted and served 18 years for rape and attempted murder, after uncovering what appears to be a cover up relating to his conviction he sues for 36 million in damages.

Just as he and his lawyers are preparing for trial a woman goes missing and he's subsequently charged with murder in what (only seen 4 eps so far) seem suspicious circumstances.

Yeah highly recommend watching this. It's a very in depth, well made doc. It's just unbelievable what happens. Did I miss this in the news when all this was happening? I know it's a US case, but didn't come across this story at all.

Anyone watched the man in the high castle yet? Something keeps stopping me from watching it and I don't know what.

ETA: sorry that's a prime show. Wrong thread

It's only on Amazon, isn't it?

 

[Maharani]

It's only on Amazon, isn't it?

Yeah, just realised. You seen?

 

[Teenage Cthulhu]

It is awful. I think there was a thread on here about it and most people agreed it was terrible.

 

[spanglechick]

Yeah, just realised. You seen?

No... We had prime for a trial month a year or so back and thought the selection was worse than UK Netflix - which isn't great.

Man In The High Castle (tv show)

We watched about 3 episodes and just didn't bother with it after that. It's well made and quite atmospheric but seems messy and complicated. You'll know if you're going to like it after the first episode.

Count yourself lucky you didn't watch to the end. Not sure any final scene had left me feeling quite so....like I wanted ten hours of my life back.

 

[Teenage Cthulhu]

I was really angry with it because the sets and everything looked great but the translation from book to TV was awful. Half the main characters weren't even in the book!

Kung fury, 30 minutes of brilliance

But I agree with whoever mentioned kodi, I only still have Netflix coz I use my ex's account, and Netflix says you can only use an account on so many devices?
I have it on 4 devices, she has it on 3, my mom uses it on 2, I have 3 friends that use it also, so if someone else wants to try out Netflix PM me and I'll give you the details

I think you can have it on as many devices as you like but can only watch on two simultaneously.

It says on account settings, for the basic 6.99 a month you can have it on 4 devices I think, then the more devices you use it on, they higher the monthly cost.
But I shall test your theory when I'm back from work

 

[chandlerp]

£8.99 is what I pay for four simultaneous streams including HD

 

[chandlerp]

That is installed on any number of devices, four of which can be in use at the same time

 

[Nanker Phelge]

I have it on loads of devices and pay £5.99 a month...probably only ever used on two at any one time though...

 

[Orang Utan]

i pay £5.99 too, but also 1/5 of another subscription for the houseshare.
I can watch US and UK on my account/devices using Hola, but for some reason we can only use the UK one on the house telly.

You get served whatever they have licence for in your country. They have licences for different stuff in the US than they do in the UK. On your telly (presumably it's a smart one connected to the internet and not just being used as a monitor by your computer) there's no proxy or Hola type thing to mask your IP so that it thinks you're in the US. I don't know if you can install Hola to a smart telly, but it's unlikely.

I'm still using a hacked mediahint - it's given me far fewer problems than Hola or dotVPN.

 

[baffled]

If you can change the dns settings on the telly then you might be able to access other regions.

I have a blu ray with us dns. So have both us and uk through tv

 

[Jon-of-arc]

There was some stuff about Netflix cracking down on proxies, vpns, etc, then some doubts cast

Doubts cast on Netflix plan to stop use of VPNs to get around regional blocking

However, I just got blocked from us Netflix using Hola, telling me to stop using a proxy. Canada still works, though, but looks like the inevitable is coming.

Some have said they will block on a proxy by proxy basis, creating the usual internet cat and mouse game, but its about to become more of a pain in the arse, that's for sure.

Les Salauds AKA Bastards

Wow - took my breath away. Had a crack because of the presence of leather-faced hangdog Vincent Lindon, whom I enjoyed in the Hollywoodish thriller Mea Culpa. It's all set up to be a pretty standard genre piece - revenge thriller, chase movie, les bourgeois sexy etc - but then never fully goes there. Instead it's just, well, grim. Writer/director Claire Denis is definitely someone whose work I shall investigate now. Soundtrack was by Stuart Staples (Tindersticks), and greatly helped add to the tense atmosphere, which in visuals and audio and tone and refusal to give easy closure, brought to mind Hyena.

Do not read the Wikipedia or IMDb plot summaries first!

 

[Vintage Paw]

My hacked media hint isn't working now. Just keeps sending me to the UK version. That doesn't sound like a blocking issue, but the server isn't running or connected any more, idk.

 

[Vintage Paw]

Hola is working for me though.

Has anyone tried the Open Sky boxes with the "gift"?

A friend has one and they swear by it but they do not live in the UK.
