I pay more for 4 profiles than my parents who pay for 2.
I am not sure I understand.
No, the different plans enable you to watch on either 1, 2 or up to 4 screens at the same time (as well as being able to download to 1, 2 or 4 devices). Regardless of your price plan, you can have up to 5 profiles.

Ah ok :thumbs:
 
The more I look the more I find solid stuff made in Asia on Netflix. To add to Alice in the Borderland there is

The Korean Sisyphus. Its a bit weak in places but more than makes up with it by being very mysterious.
 
I've just binge watched both seasons of Rebellion. It's a drama set in Dublin from the time of the Easter rebellion. It's good.

I'm not sure about the historical accuracy but it tells the tale of upper-class English and working class poor Irish. If it's accurate then the English deserve all the shit they got for their dreadful treatment of the Irish.

I've enjoyed it enough that I will read up on Irish history of the time.

No, you don't pay for more 'profiles', you pay for more log ins.
I have five profiles, but only one log in.
You have paid for four log ins (I think they call them 'screens') to the same account at one time, but as many profiles as you want.
On your patents account two people can log on to Netflix at the same time, but they can have as many profiles set up on that account as they want.

Might make sense to share just one account with your parents if you have four log ins. That's quite a lot. I share with my brother and only have one log in, but there has never been an issue. If my daughter is watching something on Netflix, so what, I'll just watch BBCi or read a book or whatever.
 
Also watching Katla, an Icelandic drama.
It's keeping me watching as its really weird. Not sure where its heading.
I've saved the last episode for (hopefully) tonight. Hope it doesn't end up stupid.

I've absolutely loved the mood of the thing. So beautiful and sparse. Just like Iceland. I love the way it's so deeply embedded in Icelandic folklore as well - the hidden people and changelings and people getting lost forever in storms and bad weather. Wonderful stuff.

I thoroughly enjoyed it - I've never been to Iceland mind you, I imagine that must add an extra layer to it for you :)
 
Will watch almost anything Icelandic, there's something quite special about it. There was a comedy series some years back, about this guy who ran a petrol station, think it was mockumentary style...
 
We started season 1 of Pose last night. Loved it. Of course, Ryan Murphy shows aren't for everyone but (so far) am getting more of a The Get Down vibe to it, with perhaps a hint of Glow and Halston.

The first few minutes may be a bit OTT, but when it finds its elegant feet, it begins to soar. The dancing, music and dialogue is wonderful and surprised that we found ourselves applauding the "I Wanna Dance with Somebody" scene.

So far, so fabulous.
 
I'm 3 episodes into Katla and not sure about it yet. I like the atmosphere and setting but it's a little too reminiscent of other Euro-genre shows like Dark and The Returned (missing/dead people mysteriously returning, family and friends trying to adjust) and I don't find any of the characters very interesting. They don't have a life or personality apart from whatever serves the plot.

Yeah, I'm 2 episodes in and not finding it too gripping tbh. The set up is way too close to The Returned.
 
Binged Brand New Cherry Flavour.

Part of me loved it and part of me is a bit unsure what to make of it.

It was stylistically great.
Elements of Lynch and Cronenberg.

But I finished thinking "Hmm"

Nearly finished season one and not a dry eye in the house. The performances are excellent, some larger than life and Blanca is the beating heart of the show. And Evan Peters surprisingly dialling it down.

Love it.
 
Really enjoyed Sophie: Murder in West Cork. A few of the participants are undoubtedly crackers and the documentary makers gave them enough rope to show it.
 
I assume most of you are aware of The Last Kingdom.

Viking stuff which isn't usually my bag and I thought it would be along similar lines to Game of Thrones, which I thought was nonsense and didn't pursue, but my son got me into it and I binged all 3 seasons over Christmas. It's obviously fiction but there's a (small) degree of history in relation to the 9th century Saxon kingdoms and Viking raiding. Think of it as Sharpe (also Bernard Cornwell) but a thousand years earlier. It's really very good once you get invested and season 4 is coming out at the end of this month.

I've just started watching this. Its ace!

I really enjoyed Vikings and Game Of Thrones so it's right up my strasse. And much less cheesy than both of them.

In our household we just call it Uhtred, son of Uhtred. It is fun but it gets more and more cheesy. The starting bit where he goes "I am Uhtred, son of Uhtred... Last week in the Last Kingdom I shagged a maiden etc etc" always makes us laugh. I haven't watched it in ages actually - was getting very stinkily cheesey.
Binge watching the Last Kingdom at the minute. Vikings is clearly the better of the two, however, if you overlook some of the cliches TLK is alright and its doing a good job of filling my historical fantasy niche that's been left void by Game of Thrones.

I watched the first episode and wasn't too keen. It's very rip-offy of David Lynch (Mulholland Drive/Lost Highway in particular) and there's a sort of amateur-ish quality to it or something that left me unconvinced.

I'm half way through season one of this and it's good fun. Utrehd can be a bit of a bellend though.
