Netflix recommendations

[Sprocket.]

If you liked that, it's pretty much a remake of the 1975 film Operation Daybreak. It even mimics the anachronistic soundtrack.

Good film.

 

[Sir Belchalot]

There's also another recent film called The Man with the Iron Heart a.k.a. HHhH about the Heydrich assassination.

Watched this fucking nonsense last night Nailed It Loved the host - she’s so loud I was down to 9% on the headphone volume but it’s great if you like that sort of thing By episode 3 they are relaxing into it, drinking and setting fire to stuff.

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Too bad. Looks like you have super high standards!

He's just a miserable old bleeder

I LOVE THIS (Doing impression of the host).. Seriously though, she makes me feel incredibly British because I just want to ask her to keep it down a bit all the time. Despite that, I find the programme hilarious and excellent fun brainless viewing.

Great. Enjoyed S1.

Anthropoid

It's about Operation Anthropoid - the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich - by two Czech soldiers. I didn't know the story, so it was all a big surprise to me, but I totally recommend it. Powerful as fuck, obviously all the more so it being a true story.

It's got my newfound crush in it too - Cillian Murphy.

There's also another recent film called The Man with the Iron Heart a.k.a. HHhH about the Heydrich assassination.

Then there's Hangmen Also Die!, made the following year before the full facts about Heydrich's assassination were widely known (and so no SOE), a weird, campy mélange of Hollywood melodrama and emigré German expressionism - written by ‘Bert’ Brecht, directed by Fritz Lang; and possibly the best of the lot, the Czechoslovak Atentát.

Ricky gervais stand up show that’s recently been added is worth a watch if you’re a fan.

Finished Ghost Wars yesterday. It's about okay. Not great and at times badly edited, but watchable overall.

Is "Mute" any good? Trailer looks interesting, another Blade Runner cityscape to drool over...

Dammit

I know it's nonsense but I am enjoying Occupied

 

[8115]

I've heard a few decent things about Annihilation, might watch it this weekend.

 

[chilango]

Very odd.

Occupied Series 2 seems to have disappeared from Netflix.

I was watching it a couple of hours ago but now only Series 1 is listed.

Hmmm.

WTF same here

My evening is ruined.

Fucking Putin.

I thought it was good.

 

[chilango]

Well...what has happened to Occupied?

S2 seems to have pulled off Netflix. Vague reports on Twitter citing "licensing", but nothing concrete.

S1 still up though. Smells fishy.

Do the Russians poison someone in it or something?

 

[Saffy]

I've been watching Nailed it as well. I love it.

 

[Mr.Bishie]

Just finished Seven Seconds. What a rollercoaster, with added tears! Thanks for the recommendation Spymaster

 

[DaveCinzano]

Still no word from Netflix why they pulled Okkupert without a word

 

[Mogden]

Just finished Everything Sucks. Rather enjoyed that. Easy to digest too.

 

[T & P]

S2 of Santa Clarita Diet is out. For those who don’t know of it, it’s a light but well written comedy a la The Good Place that can perhaps be best described as Desperate Housewives with zombies. If you’re after easy to watch light entertainment i’d wholeheartedly recommend it (S1 first of course).

Wild Wild Country - overextended at 7h total (in 6 parts) and it soft-pedals some of the central questions, but this account of the Rajneeshpuram fiasco in Oregon (cult commune spiralling into paranoia and exploitation, something that almost never happens...) is still pretty gripping. Great access and archive, a story to die for - some of it beggars belief - terrific 'characters', and some real questions about freedom and religion thrown in. Looking back on it it's extraordinary that any of it happened at all - but it did - and just kept getting weirder.

Was just coming here to suggest that!! I'm up to ep3 and am falling in love with Sheela. She's fucking awesome! Fearless. Visionary. Committed. I love her. Mind you, it is likely to all turn to shit in the next 3 episodes!

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Over half way through ep3...gotta add ruthless to my list of adjectives describing Sheela.
