At a guess I'd say it was about some sort of codes - possibly secret ones - that may perform some kind of de-locking operation with films & wotnot on Netflix.

Except it doesn't unlock any additional content, it just makes it easier to find stuff the crap Netflix interface tends to filter out.

So true :D

"We all know trying to choose what to watch on Netflix is one of the most difficult challenges for human beings these days.

You'll scroll, watch trailers, add stuff to 'My List' and keep browsing until it's actually too late to watch something, it happens EVERY damn time."

It's very cool to be able to look into super specific categories, these aren't offered on the genre/drop down menu, so yeah, it's useful... i.e. I give you Latin American Films!

Finished Safe - in which Dexter is British, his daughter goes missing, and a whole bunch of other shenanigans take place in a sleepy gated community with a dark past and a less than savoury present....

....it's pure Hokum on a similar level to Marcella....passes time nicely....cast help to make it work

And while I've got all the time in the world for Michael C Hall...that is a shocking accent.
 
Saw ep1 of Deep State last night - seemed pretty good will be continuing. Looks like it might be a good replacement to Homeland.

Put the Wild Wild Country on earlier. Looks great but have parked it for future watching as want something light hearted for a Sunday.

Just getting towards the end of this having watched it over the last couple of weeks. Some of the story is undeniably funny although I'm not sure that was the intention of the series makers. It's amazing how often professionally successful affluent people get taken in by this stuff. I get the feeling that 'Sheila', the power behind the throne, knew that it was nonsense all along and was partly doing it for a laugh. Also funny to see a couple of clips of orange-clad people of this Oregon-based cult talking to the camera... with English and Scottish accents. An English chap's Mum joined the cult and took him with her - he (Tim Guest) later wrote the book 'My Life In Orange' about the experience.

Anyway, worth watching is my verdict but probably a bit too long at 6 hour+ episodes.
 
The Chalet is worth 5 hours of your time, a French series set in a remote Alpine village where peeps start meeting grisly ends. More light hearted than it's Nordic equivalent would be.
 
The Obamas are getting into the Netflix biz.

On Monday, former President Barack Obama officially announced a multiyear production deal with Netflix, in which he and former first lady Michelle Obama will be tasked with producing shows and films for the streaming giant.

According to the New York Times, the deal will essentially give the Obamas an international platform, allowing the couple to reach millions of people across the globe post-presidency. As such, the couple has launched Higher Ground Productions, which will produce content for Netflix.

So binge watched S1 to S4 of Person of Interest which I really enjoyed (anyone any idea when/if S5'll be on Netflix?)

Any suggestions for what I should watch next? Watched Ep 1 of Gotham which I didn't think was very good and S2 Ep1 of Jessica Jones which I'll probably stick with as I thought S1 was. What else, Netflix fans?

JJ S2 is not as good as S1, but worth sticking with.

Gotham gets much better as in goes along, but I stalled after season 2 because 3 wasn't available on Netflix, and now I've forgotten what was going on and don't know if I can recap....

Happy is great fun - only 8 eps of chaos, carnage and dark laughs...

I forgot where I got to with person's of interest too.....maybe end of Season 3.....can't recall....I did enjoy that though.

Animal Kingdom on Prime?

Thanks, will try Happy next (and keep on with JJ).

I'd give S4 of PoI a go -- in some ways it's more interesting than the previous ones as they really are fighting against the odds...

Prime? And AK as in the film?

There a TV series of the film, the first ep follows the first two thirds of the film and then goes its own way...

Ellen Barkin is great in it, and Finn Cole is very good as the Grandson who goes lives with her after his Mum dies....

It's similar to the film with added massive doses of Point Break style heists, drugs, guns, sex, violence....

ETA - It's good to watch while eating dinner....

If Legion is on your Netflix, give it a go. Quite unlike any other superhero show I've seen. And it's got Aubrey Plaza and Jemaine Clement!
 
Watched Unforgotten on Netflix. Typical ITV drama, but an exceptional cast really...it's not mind blowing stuff, but makes for fine evening tv.

Started River now.....that's interesting, written by Abi Walker....again, passes an hour after dinner....

It's unfuckingbelievably good. The most original tv out there. The cinematography, soundtrack and mind-bending portrayal of a story (from musical to text adventure) is of the highest order.

It's not perfect....it's a teensy* bit complex (cough) but it's proper tv.

*teensy weensy
 
Good film about gold rush and wild west type madness that went on in Brazil (Amazon) when a mountain full of gold was found, in the 80s...

Bald Mountain | Netflix (I'd have translated as Naked Mountain, but nevermind heh)

At one point there were 40 thousand people working in there, it really has to be seen to be believed. Sebastiao Salgado (photographer) took a lot photos in there...
