Netflix recommendations

[Part 2]

Watched Rocks which is as good as people have already said. All very natural and believable, and the kid who plays Emmanuel is cute as.

Also American Murder. It reminded me of 24 hours in police custody. It was obvious from the outset but the process of getting to the conclusion is really interesting and the use of phone records, social media etc shows how it's easy to piece things together. I can't imagine how his dad must've felt in the room when he confessed, he must've known he wasn't telling the whole truth but was there for his son. My dad didn't come to the police station when I got caught shoplifting.

I also thought with family annihilation that the man usually kills himself and in that respect there could've been more to be learned. It's beyond my comprehension that he would even begin to think he could get away with it.

 

[Aladdin]

Line Of Duty season 5 coming in early October!!

Well feck that.. no sign of it.

 

[belboid]

Anyone seen A Perfect Crime yet?

About the assassination of Detlev Rohwedder, one of the main protagonists of German reunification and the sell off of East German assets. Never solved, umpteen conspiracy theories about it.

 

[Aladdin]

Bloodline.

 

[Aladdin]

Enjoying Bordertown for any of you nordic noir* fans who haven't already seen it. Bit of a binge and started season 3 already.

I loved Bordertown!!

It’s high up on my “to watch” list.

 

[Saul Goodman]

It's been mentioned before but Making a Murderer. It's frightening.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

I'm sure nobody else has got into it but I'm one episode from completing 'crash landing on you' . Cheesy by numbers Korean drama across the north and south. . . . . How can it possibly end??? Now two love affairs spanning the divide and everyone is going to die??. If you like cobra Kai this might be for you. The koreans have been making this kind of romantic drama for about 25 years now, and it somehow works, despite most of the ingredients appearing simaltaneously way too bonkers over the top AND too obvious.

Just watched the babysitter.
Been in my box for ages, but watched it today on a whim.
It was actually pretty good in every way except the daft on screen captions.
Recommenced .

Agreed, I actually watched the sequel first- which ain’t bad either, and it prompted me to check the first one.

 

[T & P]

As much as one can form an opinion from watching just the first episode, I thoroughly recommend The Haunting of Bly Manor. Certainly to those who liked The Haunting of Hill House- which in fact this is a follow up of. Very promising so far

 

[Johnny Vodka]

Watching The Nightingale tonight, as it popped up as a recommendation. Remember reading about it a while back and wanting to see it.

Brutal stuff.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

Brutal stuff.

Cut it halfway through so as I can get to bed. Tough story, but wouldn't say it's that graphic so far and the violence doesn't overshadow other aspects of the film. Will watch the rest tomorrow.

Glad I saw it without knowing anything about it. Watching the sequel now.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Already the Cramps.

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

They grow up so fast

 

[Red Cat]

Just finished this. Great watch.

Is this suitable for my soon to be 13 year old (tomorrow)?

She watches 15s but is it more adult than that?

 

[Orang Utan]

I reckon

 

[Red Cat]

I reckon

Good, I might suggest we watch it together, although i'll have to put up with her talking all the way through.

I think so; the themes are heavy (parental abandonment), but there’s no sex, no real violence or anything like that. It’s a group of pals not much older than her who love each other very much and try to muddle through shit in the way kids do. It is surprisingly uplifting, just very tinged with sadness.

I've lost track but guessing you're talking about Rocks? If so, I'd say it'd be fine for a 13 year old -- maybe a bit eye opening but in a good way. That's at Red Cat.

 

[Sue]

It’s high up on my “to watch” list.

I'd be interested to see what you think, given you're way more with it on the background/context than I am.

 

[Saul Goodman]

The Haunting of Bly Manor. I'm up to episode 5, and I reckon it's as good as the Hill House series. Definitely worth a watch.

I have a free day tomorrow and have been looking forward to this. I predict as binge day

She goes for heavy themes and gets upset but she likes that

Tried it last night but couldn't concentrate on it so will try again tonight. I thoroughly enjoyed all of The Haunting of Hill House up until the last 10 minutes which I thought was a bit shit but the rest of it was ok.

 

[Reno]

I thought The Haunting of Hill House got great around the middle episodes (especially the funeral one) and then took a nosedive into sentimental mush. The last episode ruined the show for me. Read a few reviews which claim that the follow up is even more melodrama than horror, so not that excited about it.

Yeah watched it a week or so ago. Then spent ages googling

I'm also on E5 and really really enjoying it. I don't do horror and this doesn't in any way class as scary (so far).

Never heard of the Haunting of Hill House but will seek it out.
