Netflix recommendations

I never even looked at the good place because it looked shit from the picture and heaven, let alone limbo, isnt real you just die.
 
seriously, you know what I hate? police procedurals. And true life ones. They are boring and half the story is told at the lodge not on your netflix program

they should stop having them and instead get on with doing that Altered Carbon series we were promised 2 years ago
 
oh I been watching 'the confession tapes' actually, its pretty good cus the police procedurals are twisted
 
They call anything uniquely available to Netflix a Netflix Original. It may be it was on network TV in the USA but only on Netflix here
 
I've just started watching Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. I'd heard its name, but didn't know what it was, and my interest was only piqued when a couple of days ago I saw a story about men getting upset online because of some song or something about making generalisations about men.

Anyway, I was not expecting irreverent musical. I like it a lot.
 
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend keeps getting better and better. The scene where Paula and Scott talked/said/whatever the theme song was excellent. And now I know where that bisexual song I've seen all over the place comes from. I love Darryl and White Josh—they should have their own show.
 
Looking forward to this...
I've watcehd the first six - what a let-down. Blandly generic cop shit with utterly cliched characters (a hardheaded but ultimately supportive boss, a thrusting young do-gooder paired with an initially cynical older good ole boy character with a hidden back story demonstrating his good nature, local cops who say i don't want none of that book learning and other characters straight out of the 30s gee mister, i'll help you if you can make sure *of something for me*.

Why watch six of them, didn't you twig after a couple?
 
and the one about ordinary New Yorkers especially.

"New York, I love you" ?

That was my favourite, just absolutely bloody brilliant, great little character sketches, brilliantly circular, laugh out loud funny in a load of places. Although the whole thing has been basically fantastic so far, fingers crossed for a Season 3.

The songs are pretty much all brilliant. Season 3 has got off to a good start too :thumbs:
 
Oh and I enjoyed The Meyerowitz Stories Nice little study of family dynamics with Dustin Hoffman, Rebecca Miller, Ben Stiller and Adam Sandler ... I know, but hang on to your hats, Adam Sandler isn't shit. Turns out he can do a pretty decent straight role.
 
Never really liked Sean Pean, and he comes out of this looking like a major arsehole with little regard for a woman's safety...

How a Mexican soap opera star became an political exile and human rights activist. Quite gripping, I thought. It's so new there are no comments/reviews on imdb yet! It all started with a tweet...

The Day I Met El Chapo: The Kate Del Castillo Story

Sean Pean tried to stop it from being aired because he's shitting himself. But even in the documentary the only thing he's accused of is not giving Kate the same journalist status he afforded himself and his cameramen, which would have meant she would have protected from prosecution by the government just like he was.

But contained within all those cliches there's some great content and excellent dialogue(I'm easily pleased to be fair, good dialogue makes me happy) I think that's a pretty harsh review, watch the first and second episodes to see what you think- it may not be the best thing in the world but it's not utter shite. And i personally like a couple of creature comforts in my telly, because I'm perptually tired :)

I'm finding it dwindling a little mid-season 2 - there have been a couple of episodes where the songs have been a bit meh, around the time Rebecca and Paula's friendship is faltering, and when the new guy comes into the company. I trust it'll pick up in a bit though. I did like the song about the new owner, being all meta about whether he's just there to pick up flagging ratings and if he'll be gone in 3 episodes :D

I started watching this and will continue, but was a bit tired for subtitles by the time I went to watch it. Mostly english but obviously theres subs needed at points.

What did crack me up is how this woman basically went full edge lord on twitter late one night (to make a point, in fairness- a valid one) and well hasn't that just snowballed....I don't even know how sean ties into this yet, but its a strange 21st century tale.
 
Help? I’ve just found out Tin Star is Sky Atlantic, which I don’t have. Any recommendations for someone who was going to watch that, just finished Ozark, loved Saul, BBad, Narcos...

I’ve tracked back about 10-12 pages in this thread but I’m not generally into American comedies, which seem to be the most mentioned things....

Thx in advance.

Oh I have Netflix and Amazon Prime btw.
