Netflix recommendations

I'm all up-to-date with The Good Place now, and gnawing the furniture at having to wait week-to-week again. It's such a fun programme. I fell in love with Kirsten Bell when I saw her cry over sloths on Ellen some years ago, so it's an automatic winner for me anyway, but the other characters are all really great and I love Ted Danson in it. I'm currently torn between shipping Eleanor and Chidi or Eleanor and Tahani.

It's not funny though is it? And that's what I want from my comedies

Nearly finished S2 of How To Get Away With Murder. It's good telly. I don't really like crime type shows and it does get a bit silly in parts but it's good watching if you don't want anything too heavy.

I've laughed plenty.

Here Alone - a perfectly good, low budget, zombie flick which would slot perfectly into the Walking Dead universe.

Follows a woman who is living in the woods post zombie-apocalypse. It's a slow moving film, with a few flashbacks, a couple of zombie encounters. She meets a couple of other survivors who she helps out a bit...it's a quiet film, intense film, and well worth a watch.

Lucy Walter, the lead actor, was great. She makes the housewife to wilderness survivor story believable.

Won Narrative Feature Audience Award at The Tribeca Film Festival.

I've just watched the trailer for that it looks great. I'm gonna watch it this weekend.

It seems that the overwhelming majority of people here who have watched it completely disagree with your opinion of it. But each to their own

I love Janet. I'd wear a Janet T-shirt. She's excellent. I'd endure the Bad Place in order to spend time with Janet.

Oh yes, Janet is wonderful. I love her relationship(s) with Jason.

I also love every time Chidi says "what?!"

The funniest bit of the 'its actually the bad place' reveal for me was that I had been thinking all along the ethics proff is one of those absolute nightmare people, then it turns out I was correct, his ethical reasoning ended up so self centred he actively made other peoples lives worse. And so, the bad place. I was chuckling for ages.

I spent most of the series empathising with him and thinking "thank god it's not just me"

I actually have quite a soft spot for Jianyu, despite everything.

 

[sojourner]

Watched the first episode of The Expanse and really didn't enjoy it. Him indoors persevered and said it gets lots better but I just wasn't feeling it.

I tried to watch that cos of recommendations on here, but it bored the shit out of me.

He's a good person really. The way he interacts with Janet brings it out. I like him.

Spoiler

I guessed the good place was the bad place not too far in tbh, but I didn't get the details right. Along with the bickering, Chidi's incapability to do absolutely anything, etc, Tahani's attitude was a big red flag as well - that someone could be quite so absolutely condescending and self-centred and still be in the good place.

The new Netflix series Suburra has been added today, the film was brilliant so I’m looking forward to seeing what the series is like.

 

[snadge]

I'm dipping into "Limitless" - mostly I avoided it because of potential violence, but it's quite interesting - and the CSI science is a bit less silly than CSI / NCIS.

Not exactly high art, but entertaining enough ...

I'm watching it now, it's fucking hilarious, great entertainment.

 

[Casually Red]

That " haters back off " is definitely worth a watch . Often through my fingers..toe curling in parts . The lead actress does a fantastic job with that character . Looks and sounds absolutely nothing like her in real life .

Haters Back Off! (TV Series 2016– ) - IMDb

American vandal was mostly good...drifted a bit sometimes..but definitely had its moments .

 

[pengaleng]

I think I'll give "Big Mouth" a pass - only watched a bit - I'm not nostalgic for teenage angst !

I watched the first 30 seconds and NOPE, NO FUCKING WAY. HORRORS.

I dunno who they make telly like that for tbh.

 

[Casually Red]

Watched that one The Bad Batch . Still not sure what to make of it but feck me it grabbed my attention in the first ten minutes . Definitely wasn't expecting that . Not my cup of tea but watched it out of principle because it broke the usual American film rules as regards attractive leading lady / heroine right from the word go . The hero in it is not a very nice chap either .

Latest episode of The Good Place was jolly good again.

Started watching Love, with Gillian Jacobs and some dude—it's a Judd Apatow thing. Quite like it, tbh. It's got all the hallmarks of "quirky Americans who are awful" about it but without being so absolutely off-putting it's enjoyable. It's one of those low-key efforts. Recommended to me with a 94% match because I watched Master of None.

 

[pengaleng]

I started watching 'Barbecue' it's a documentary about grilling food culture in all different parts of the world and it's actually pretty interesting

subtitle and man heavy

 

[planetgeli]

Watched the first two Ozark so far. So far so good. Please don’t tell me it gets shit.

 

[Orang Utan]

I finished Master Of None last night - I really really loved it - so many good ideas in each episode - loved the Bicycle Thieves one, the Denise Thanksgiving one and the one about ordinary New Yorkers especially.
It also has a really well chosen soundtrack - never heard Arthur Russell on a sitcom before!

The Thanksgiving with Denise's family episode is up there probably as my favourite of the lot. Proper had a cry at that.

Not imo, thought the whole thing was great.

 

[The Fornicator]

Designated Survivor was garbage. I thought the idea had potential but hey ho.

Meanwhile - on HBO - Big Little Lies was so good, excellent work by everyone involved.

Designated Survivor was garbage. I thought the idea had potential but hey ho.

I've never seen something with a budget that high so quickly turn into "Oh shit, we've no idea where the plot goes"

The highlight was when they blew up congress, it all kind of went south after that.

Yep, me too. Looks like cringworthy crap.
