WATCH OUT, GEORGE, HE'S GOT A SCREWDRIVER!

I was wondering what that was like, cheers. Might give it a go as have a soft spot for pandemic/apocalypse things, especially currently. Re-watching Ozark now though, it's very good.

The Prom is a fantastically uplifting, feel-good film that will make you smile throughout.
I suspect it’ll be proper Marmite and some people will hate it, but if it is good enough for arguably the greatest actress who’s ever lived, it is certainly good enough for me, and nay-saying po-faced cunts can go tap dance on a minefield.
Also, James fucking Corden is pretty good in this. Deal with it.

Still Game. It's not new. Am on the 6th season. Has really made me chuckle.

Alice in Borderland update. Excellent first episode 
I will say just this about it: so far at least it is a real action series (as opposed to anime, which the Netflix preview image might suggest) and the premise includes sci-fi, escape room, Lost, Hunger Games, and video game themes. I hope the rest of the series keeps up with the first episode. Do check it out if you’re remotely into that kind of genre.

real life adventure worth more than pieces of gold
Brotherhood. Brazilian drama (not the Irish/American 3 season programme mentioned way up thread). There's only one season of this, afaics.
Spoilering this in case, like me, you don't want to see anything remotely spoilerish, even though it's just the premise.
I'm about to start episode 7 of 8. Have had to take a minute to calm down and stop eating my fingers.
Brilliant.
E2a: but miserable as fuck.

Young girl finds her older brother's weed and tells her dad, who calls the cops. 20 years later, brother is still in jail. She's a lawyer.
It's like Prison Break without the light relief

Finished Alice in Borderland, so final post on this before you all righty tell me to fuck off about it.
Very, very good sci-fi series. Easily 8/10 for me. Let’s get this out of the way first: there is a lot violence and a high death count. However it is mostly John Wick-style quick deaths, rather than sadistic gore a la the Saw franchise in the physical front. But it can be grim at places, and some of the challenges the hapless protagonists face are quite twisted psychologically speaking, though at the same time damn clever and thought-provoking.
This is an intriguing, captivating, escape room meets Hunger Games cleverly written thriller playing out on the streets of Tokyo. Ludicrously engaging- we finished the 8-episode series in less than 24 hours- and while not perfect, it does everything you could ask a sci-fi action thriller to do, and then some. Thoroughly recommended

We're halfway through it, it's great.
Both this and Detention are managing the rare feat of keeping both me and wife's attention throughout.

The Call
South Korean time travel/horror with 2 strong female leads and disturbing twists. 3.5 stars.

Rebellion about the Easter rising had a far better first series than I expected it to be.

Must watch this
Eta...searched for it and its not showing at all
Strange it’s definitely on there.
Yep. I've searched on Netflix itself and also in google but links direct me to my netflix account and not a sign of it there.
Frustrating.
Have you seen seaside hotel, killed by the lake or Stockholm requiem?
All available on channel 4 Walter presents.

right after this urgent rest
I’d second that recommendation. Not a fun story, but they manage to make it into quite a gripping documentary with a few twists and turns. Might not be the best thing ever to hit Netflix, but definitely worth a watch.

Nope, I agree. Absolute toss.

For anyone looking for undemanding, easy watching feelgood films, Rose Island is decent enough so far as you don’t expect a masterpiece. It’d be far less interesting if it was purely fictional, but as it’s based on true events it adds a bit of extra weight to it.
It’s basically about Italy’s answer to Sealand (bloke decides to declare independent State off a sea platform). Happened in the 60s and I hadn’t heard of it before.
Safe to watch around your auntie over Xmas anyway.

Taking Lives. Angelina Jolie in a largely predictable serial killer film.
Maybe they spent all the money on getting Philip Glass to do the score and couldn't afford a decent plot

are we there yet?
I watched that this afternoon. Average and as rubbershoes says rather thin on the old plot.
I've got a soft spot for Ethan Hawke though....

If you're a Hawke fan you should watch The Good Lord Bird, not on Netflix unfortunately.

Good IT skills and food hygiene competent
Snowpiercer is really really good imo. Apart from a lot of the last episode which suffers from that thing where a series is great and they try and come up with loads of naff cliffhangers to get a second series. But the rest of it is really really good

I watched that not long ago, it was absolute tosh! And that is coming from someone who usually loves that sort of film no matter how crappy - the plot was completely seethrough
Only the Animals. Hadn't realised it was on Netflix when I downloaded it the other day.
French film. A womans body is found on farmland. The farmer is having an affair with another man's wife. The characters stories are told in turn. I really liked it although the end becomes a bit obvs.
