Netflix recommendations

[Reno]

Yes I actually found E4 quite touching too for different reasons, in fact throughout the series there are several bits that got to me.

It was, though doing some research later, they’ve bent the truth a little. This was a royal I didn’t even know existed and reading up on her on Wikipedia is quite fascinating.

Just watched this tonight. Fascinating and creepy in equal measure. Reminded me of “Holy Hell”, also on Netflix. The amazing thing is these guys get busted and just move and set up someplace new and still find acolytes who are willing to follow them.

Holy Hell

Not heard of that one before. Added to list, ta.

Wild Wild Country is cut from the same cloth, but probably you will have seen that one.

There also was a investigative podcast on the Bikram yoga creep which was very good:

Bikram - 30 for 30 Podcasts

I have, yeah. Good, but dragged on a bit!

Undercover.

It's a Belgian/Dutch series about undercover cops trying to bust Dutch ecstasy manufacturers and dealers. Fact based drama with similarities to Narcos.

You'll like this, Mr.Bishie

Just finished this. It's a bit of a cliché but the last 3 eps are really edge-of-seat stuff. It's very well done with flashbacks that are understandable and make you go WTF?

If you liked Narcos and Intelligence, it's a must watch.

Not a recommendation:

Netflix 'reactivated' users without permission

That reminded me, I’ve never had my Netflix account reactivated but I’m pretty sure someone once hacked into it. When I logged in last year, there was all this stuff for “continue to watch”, mostly anime-series which are not my thing.

The Irishman went up today

Why don't you not watch it then tell us what you think?

The de-aging effects used on De Niro seem to turn him into Bryan Cranston.

3.5 hours though.

3.5 hours of enjoyment though

 

[sojourner]

Struggling to find anything interesting for ages now on Netflix. Keep watching first episodes of stuff and being disappointed. Wanderlust was shit, despite having the amazing Toni Collette in it.

 

[sojourner]

Oh! Actually, I do quite fancy The Irishman.

 

[Supine]

I already have.

you already have not watched it? How was it?

 

[Orang Utan]

I have seen it on the big screen , so posted my thoughts on it on the relevant thread

 

[Spymaster]

I struggle with anything much over 2 hours. I'll watch it though. Probably in 2 parts.

 

[Sweet FA]

Can we spoiler tag Irishman reviews/thoughts please? I've managed to swerve all mention of it so far & have got it booked in for the weekend.

 

[Sweet FA]

Yeh Mrs FA has expressed doubts about watching it in one go. Tough tit though

 

[Orang Utan]

I've said this elsewhere but this baffles me, esp when it seems that a lot of people binge watch TV shows all evening

oh man...i was starting to enjoy hot yoga too.

 

[Orang Utan]

Just realised this is a ref to the Alan Moore nonsense you came up with in the other thread. I didn't say what I thought of the show as I haven't seen it, just that Alan Moore wouldn't approve. Eejit.

 

[DexterTCN]

I have just discovered Anthony Jeselnik.

He's a comedian, not to everyone's taste.

i lost my body - Google Search

This is new this week and has very good reviews indeed across the board. Sounds like one of those weird but highly satisfying French animation films for grownups. Will check it later and report back...

Just watched it. I wouldn’t describe it as amazing myself, and I reckon it pays not watch it expecting a classic in the making (which I had kind of done after reading The Grauniad’s review), but it’s still no less than 7/10 at the least, and most certainly worth checking out. So do.

Has anyone seen One Upon a Time In London yet?

The trailer looks alright.
