Netflix recommendations

I've just finished Bloodlines. It's a very slow burner but enjoyable. It made me want to carry on watching it anyway
 
Watched Advantageous (2015) yesterday. Sci-fi with an old school, Asimov/Tarkovsky feel to it. Grown-up, dystopian sci-fi ;) Highly recommend it.

just popping it on now, from the reviews it sounds bang on the type of thing I like but yet I've never once came across it on netflix... the recommendations are shite!

Is there just a big list somewhere of everything on there?

It recommended to me by Netflix, based on my viewing history...
 
See, I thought I watched that kinda thing that I'd get recommended it. Might start a new profile and start again
 
All I get recommended is cartoons, because the kids watch nothing but Adventure Time, Spongebob, and The Regular Show. They have their own profiles, but I still get nothing but cartoons recommended to me.
 
You know who else gets nothing but cartoons recommend to them on Netflix? My Mom! Ooooooh!

(My god, I 've been brainwashed by my kids' Regular Show viewing patterns)
 
Another vote for "A Hijacking". Watched it at the weekend. Excellent film.

I also recently watched a Norwegian film "In Order of Disappearance" which was a lot of fun. Rather violent but quirky and funny.

"Margin Call" is also a bit of a corker.

I can second/third/whatever the first two.
 
FWIW....I'm quite enjoying American Horror Story
Jessica Lange is ACE!
I did have to start to wonder why I was watching it alone in the flat beyond midnight. Which I think is a good sign!
 
"Turn: Washington's Spies" is brilliant.

It's based on the true story of the Culper Spy Ring which infiltrated the British Army during the American War of Independence.

Great acting, lavishly produced, and some pukka nasty baddies!

We watched both seasons (10 episodes apiece) on Amazon Instant, but series 1 at least is on US Netflix. It takes a couple of episodes to get going whilst the characters are all introduced but then rocks along nicely.
 
Haven't read the whole thread so don't know if it has been mentioned but I am currently enjoying Bojack Horseman. It's a cartoon about a horse who used to have a reality show in the '90s - some of the characters are animals, some are human. It's funny.
 
I've been having some big problems with my proxies trying to use US netflix recently. Mediahint was suddenly blocked, Hola stopped working, I'm using dotvpn now but it's very slow, cuts out, and I don't like it because it feels dodgy. I know they said they were going to crack down on vpns but dammit :mad:

Anyone got any recs for reliable methods?

Edit: of course, after a couple of weeks of not checking, I've just re-enabled mediahint and it's working again. Hopefully it stays that way. I'm right into the fourth season of Fringe and it's bloody excellent. And I've been binging reruns of Parks and Rec to cheer me up.

have a like to cheer you up more
 
Just finished S4 of Fringe. Excellent season, best of the lot so far. I do not like the premise for S5 so as far as I'm concerned the series ended with S4 and S5 is merely a spin-off. Of course, I haven't watched S5 yet so it might surprise me.
 
Just added this to my list as my mates are raving about it:

Supermensch: The Legend of Shep Gordon (2013)

A 2013 American documentary film about talent manager Shep Gordon, produced and directed by Mike Myers in his directorial debut. The film is the account of Gordon's career and his clients such as Alice Cooper, Blondie, Teddy Pendergrass, and Pink Floyd.

Set up a new profile for the kids so you you keep their viewing habits quarantined from yours.

My sister is coming to stay with me for a bit while she recovers from surgery. I've taken the free month trial from Netflix and installed it on a tablet for her. Cheers for the recommendations everyone.
 
If you're into legal/corporate dramas, Suits is excellent and there are 3 seasons on Netflix.
If anyone has watched the first 3 seasons of this on Netflix and is gagging for the next one, the 4th is not available for streaming in the UK, US, or Aus, but it is on Canadian Netflix, which you can access using a VPN like Hola.
