Netflix recommendations

So, just binge watched Lady Dynamite yesterday and today - had no idea what it was about - I prefer it that way sometimes... And I recommend it. It's about a comedian with bipolar II. Really surreal in places but touching too. I have a feeling it might be big, win awards and so on...

Your next Netflix binge: Maria Bamford's inventive and intimate 'Lady Dynamite'
Lady Dynamite: Maria Bamford's Netflix comedy should be a blast

Just finished this.

I mostly felt overwhelmed and in awe and weird watching the whole thing, but just kind of sat there watching. But at the very end of the last episode I think it struck me how great it is. I just said, "wow" and started crying.

I would definitely recommend it, although I don't know how I'd describe it when doing so and I'd want to put loads of caveats in there but I don't know what they'd be.

Thanks for the recommendation, girasol
 
Valley Uprising.

Fucking fantastic documentary about rock climbing in Yosemite placing it firmly in the anti-authoritarian counter-cultures of the time(s).

Cartel Land.

Interesting documentary on Mexico's drugs war focussing on anti-narco vigilantes in both sides of the border. Inspiring and demoralising in turn.

I enjoyed that one, too. Well I say 'enjoyed' - you know what I mean. Bit of a contrast between the vigilantes each side of the border eh?
 
Recently had the US Netflix accessed via Hola blocked - which is a great shame - on the plus side we did manage to complete Mad Men just in time. The annoying thing is, I'd happily pay more to have access to the US Netflix

I was in Canada last week, Netflix over there is a wonder to behold. Almost worth emigrating for![emoji16]

I'm sensing a theme with my viewing habits.

That theme being "women, fuck yeah!"
 
Ive started watching that Zombie nation, which is ok . I've read it's supposed to get much better later on. No complaints so far ..just ok .

That Jonestown docudrama wasn't bad either. Worth seeing .

I struggled with it at first but after the Liberty Bell episode it all kinda clicked and I really enjoyed it.
 
Smartflix is down, for a day or so now. It came back for me for a while yesterday. They're working on it. It went down in March too and they managed to get it back.
