Netflix recommendations

I’m not sure I wanted to know that :(
I'm rating it non-spoiler given how massively telegraphed it was from the previous episode - just the details were the issue and those are special. (And anyone who didn't watch previous episodes at this point doesn't care.)

I haven’t seen any of season 4 yet. As this isn’t being shown on Netflix in Germany, I’ve only recently been aware that there has been a season 4 at all, when news about the last episode popped up, which I’ve been careful to avoid. I’ve only just finished torrenting it.

If this was a The Good Place thread, I would have avoided it, but this is a general Netflix thread.

Watching now.

Really disliked it. Sandler acting a poundland Al Pacino. Noisy mess of a film, with no likeable characters and little to no plot.
I can't say I liked Sandler's character, but it was a rare case of a film for grown ups.

I'd say there was plenty of plot and tension.

the old guy Julia Fox's character meets on the helicopter - that's just some random sleazoid, right?

he's Wayne Diamond, a fashion designer who was big in the 70s and is a bit of a NY Garment District scenester

i will remove it, but there's basically no point in the comment at all now so whatever
 
just started stranger things, I don't usually like children in programs, but everyone is good in in.


it's annoying though, as when I look through the next couple of episodes thumbnails, I can see the missing character from episode one.

I didn't like the first two much, can't even remember the second one, but three was quite enjoyable.
 
Dont know if its been mentioned yet, but watched Dream Killer last night about a wrongly convicted American kid who spent years in jail before being released and his family's battle to free him.
 
Started The Stranger, brand new British thriller-mystery-drama. Well produced, strong cast and the first two episodes have been thoroughly intriguing and engaging. Recommended, based on what I’ve seen so far :)
I've just finished this. Overall it was decent but weak finish, thought first episode was weird in good way and ploughed through it in a few days, enjoyed it, then watched last episode tonight and it was a bit shit

I thought it was quite good over all - a bit too clever for its own good although not quite clever enough in the end. It set up so many storylines that were intriguing it seemed pretty clear it was going to crash in the end. It was an entertaining watch though and I didn't spot the twist. I could watch Siobhan Finneran do pretty much anything and Dennis Pennis is always good value.
 
I correctly guessed from the very first episode who the culprit was going to be simply because
Shaun Deeley was in it playing a seemly good person, and he almost always gets cast as a baddy/ reptilian character as he's so good at such roles. So I thought 'no way he's not the antagonist here...' :D
But I still enjoyed it overall, even if I agree with others it lost a bit of its jazz in the conclusion.

I found the related side story around Detective Patrick Katz as compelling if not more than the quest to find the missing woman.
 
Totoro. I'd forgotten the intro (as I was moaning about putting the credits at the start). Just Mei, running, in a loop.

Then I watch the film, transfixed by watching her, the whole film. It's stunning. Love her to bits.
 
The new murder doc about Aaron Hernandez is just terrific.

Three one-hour episodes, well-constructed, compelling and occasionally shocking not only for the crimes but also for the stuff about head trauma in American football.
Watched it on your recommendation, given I have no idea who he is and know nothing about American football it was very interesting.

He certainly sounded like someone who's been beaten around the head a bit (conversely could have been the drugs in jail) and looked pretty gormless.

Poor bloke, only 27.
