Netflix recommendations

Crank 1 and 2 are exquisite films by the way, re-watched them recently and they are masterpieces of crazy cinema. Don't think they are on Netflix, but you'll be able to pick up the dvd's for pennies if you haven't seen them.

Just watched Crank on your recommendation. Thanks, it's gone straight up to one of my favourite silly films.
 
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 didn't like this much when it first came out but we gave it another go and it's actually very good if you're into that slick, Yank, crime/legal drama genre. It's very clever and well filmed and acted and does tick along at a fair pace. Far too much needless shagging in it which always annoys me (if I want to watch porn there are other places to do that) but the characters all get well developed and the bodies really start stacking up in season 2!

I think people are being a little hard on The Rain, and only giving it 5 mins or even 15 mins to grab you is unfair; it IS aimed at a YA audience and many of its dystopian tropes are familiar, but there's enough to keep me watching, now on ep 4. Sure, there are clear holes in the plot, but enough time/eps left for them to be explained.
 
I don’t have kids and tbh don’t find them particularly cute or amusing. With that in mind, am I likely to like The Let Down or find it insufferable? FWIW I loved Catastrophe and that had plenty of baby/ child plot presence...

It's not about the kids at all.
 
I finished the second series of Jessica Jones last night. Alright, not half as good as the first series, just like Daredevil had a weaker second series.
 
A new season of Schitt's Creek is available. I didn’t know they were making more. Yay!

For those who haven’t heard of it, if you like offbeat comedies about dysfunctional people (like Arrested Development), check it out. Not saying it’s better but still rather funny and perfectly watchable. Gets better after the first ep as well so don’t give up on it.
 
Started watching Evil Genius last night. Documentary that starts with a Pizza delivery guy robbing a bank with a bomb round his neck. By the end of the second epsiode it seems there are 2 possible people behind it.

It's not quite as horrible (iykwim) as Catastrophe, but as good imo.
 
Anyone been watching Safe? it's Netflix version of an ITV drama with Dexter playing a british chap looking for his missing daughter.

Written by Harlen Coben, and a bit soapy, but passes the time.
 
Valley Uprising.

Fucking fantastic documentary about rock climbing in Yosemite placing it firmly in the anti-authoritarian counter-cultures of the time(s).
Finally got round to watching this - as you say; fucking fantastic :cool:

Taking acid on El Capitan :eek::D

I wanted to watch The Letdown after seeing recommendations but it’s not being shown here until October despite being made in Australia :mad:
 
Just watched Death of a Gentleman, a very revealing documentary about the corruption in the ICC and the take over of cricket but the Indian Board.
