Netflix recommendations

Not even halfway through yet but The Two Popes is excellent.

Got round to watching it today - probably one of my favourite movies of 2019 (even though I watched it in 2020 ). The tears are summoned at unexpectedly touching moments. I'm an atheist but I grew up in a Catholic country. Not that it matters, I really don't think it was about Catholicism, anyway.

Season 3 of Occupied is out now. You need to watch S1 and S2 first if you haven't already. Norwegian political thriller about a Russian invasion of Norway, resistance, etc.

Much better than it sounds.

I'm lining up all the scandi series and thats one I've bookmarked.
Finished Deadwind...I love the Finnish language. And dont mind subtitles.
Started Bordertown yesterday. If anyone is interested do not watch it with English language voiceover...they ruined it. I'm watching it in Finnish with subtitles. Quite slow start but looking forward to more of it. Other series on my list are...
Quicksand
Borderliner
Fallet
Eyewitness


Anyone hear anything about a Young Wallendar series?

 

[Baronage-Phase]

Anyone else watching Bordertown?
I really like the character Kari.
And the whole thing that he does using memory rooms to finding the killers.
Pity the series ended...

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

Cheers for this one, half-way through episode two and I love it.

I watched all of the 3rd series of Anne with an E yesterday. I just love it and I hope they do a 4th series.

It’s been cancelled. A lot of Netflix series don’t make it beyond season 3.

 

[donkyboy]

Loved Messiah. Fingers crossed for a season 2.

No, this one - Undercover (TV Series 2019– ) - IMDb

Spymaster S2 coming to Netflix next year

Thanks Spymaster I really enjoyed Undercover too.

Binged Messiah, really enjoyed it.

The episodes vary in size, last series I noticed doing that was The OA. hah

Been watching this - although some scenes seem kinda pointless, it keeps making me want to keep watching. Mainly for the realistic way it portrays how the modern world would treat a "messiah". Got 4 episodes left. It's disconcerting how I keep wishing he's actually who he claims to be

I don't see "Ruben Brandt, Collector" mentioned on this thread and I really think it deserves a mention. I've watched it twice now, amazing animation, an ending that keeps you guessing, lots of artistic/cinematic references. A real visual treat! Ruben Brandt, Collector (2018) - IMDb

I think I’ve watched all the spaceship series on Netflix. Does anyone have any spaceship programmes for me?

Have you watched The Expanse? (not on Netflix though)

No, it disappeared off Netflix just as I was about to start it. Is it on Artimus Prime now? I don’t have that.

 

[chandlerp]

It is on Prime, yes.

Was it ever on Netflix? We just downloaded it of interwebs.

It was on Netflix in the UK when it still was a Syfy series. Syfy cancelled it, then Amazon picked it up for renewal and now Amazon has the rights to it

That‘s supposed to be her in a steamed vagina, right ?

That supposed to be her in a steamed vagina, right ?

It's like James Bond with a gun, innit.

 

[Nanker Phelge]

Why is she pulling that Simon Cowell face?

Finished Top Boy - it really gripped my partner & I. Both found it a emotional roller coaster. Struggled to watch more than 2 episodes at a time as it’s heavy going.

reckon I will try ‘don’t fuck with cats’ next - think that’s the name of it.

 

[Saul Goodman]

'You' - Is very good.

 

[Spymaster]

reckon I will try ‘don’t fuck with cats’ next - think that’s the name of it.

It’s pretty grim. You will see actual footage of cats being tortured and killed. It gets boring too because the main protagonists are dull as fuck internet warriors. I ditched it after 1 episode and Googled the case to find out what happened instead.

I couldn't believe what I was seeing in those opening scenes. I've wanted to hurt people in the past but that's the first time I ever wanted to torture someone.

Started this yeaterday. Thanks for the recommendation..I'm enjoying it.

 

[T & P]

I finished S2 of Lost in Space and it was way better than S1. For those who didn’t think much of it but didn’t hate I’d recommend giving S2 a go.

 

[krtek a houby]

Halfway through The Witcher, great to see Shaun Dooley and a few other familiar faces there

 

[Fez909]

Ozark S3 is out on the 27th March - feels like it's been a long wait

 

[chandlerp]

I haven't even got round to watching Season 2 yet

 

[souljacker]

Just finished watching Messiah and really enjoyed it. It's one of those shows that just zips along like a good thriller should. Definitely looking forward to the next series.

I recommend to Netflix that they give some warning before deciding to pull a series from their platform.
Grimm was one of the few things that all the family liked sufficiently to make it a shared viewing experience - went to continue it from mid series 2 after new year to find it had all vanished
