Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

I enjoyed Norsemen but it was really kind of flimsy.

Proof if proof be need be though that the Guardian know nothing about TV. Python? Basil Fawlty?

"If you liked Norsemen, watch: Viking Apocalypse (Netflix), Chelmsford 123 (All4)."

Lol! a bit of a Rory McGrath boost from the Graun recommendation bot. GL to anyone who tries that "forgotten gem".

And Viking Apocalypse seems to be a serious, fairly in-depth doc about why the viking population in Britain died out.

I was just going to say that I enjoyed Norsemen. Meant to find this thread and say it. Now see others beat me to it.
But then again it was a recommended series in the Guardian G2 last week so probably has a few new watchers anyway.

I assume there's a 2nd season coming at some point.

& has the bald head baddy been in other things,, think I recognise him but not sure.

He was in Lilly hammer and 1 ep of Ripper Street.

I recognised the ineffectual leader as the international sex-pest drug trafficker from recent BBC3 teen thriller Clique, and as the boss of the company who have bought Perfect Curve (FUN) in the brand new series of W1A.

I got halfway through American Vandal last night. I've got to finish this and will not be able to sleep until I know... who did the dicks?!

Cannot figure out what I think of Neo Yokio after a couple of eps. Such a jarring meshing of references

Only just figured out it’s New Yorkio or whatever. Is it interesting? What Is it?

It's the second, fourth, fifth, and sixth search result for "'wes anderson' anime"

you mom's the second, fourth, fifth, and sixth search result for "'wes anderson' anime"

def jam 25 is good stuff

omg the 3d handjob recreation

American Vandal is brilliantly constructed and the payoff with the lead is really well done.

Mr. Kraz reminds me of so many teachers I’ve worked with / detested. The moment he storms off the stage during the teacher of the year award is A+++

really impressed with American Vandal

the cast of Big Mouth:

john mulaney, nick kroll, jenny slate, jason mantzoukas, maya rudolph, fred armisen, jordan peele

I watched the first three episodes and enjoyed it. I like it a lot, but the characters seem to be drawn a lot younger than I think they should look, if that makes sense? Like, they look like they're just a step above Rugrats, but they're all going through puberty. Odd disconnect. But it's funny and unexpectedly sweet.

i told my 14 year old that i finally found the PERFECT show that he would never want to watch with his parents. Big Mouth. i cringed just watching one episode by myself.

"sorry, whose voice am i hearing now?"

"i'm peter, the documentarian"

"okay. the.. what?"

"peter. i'm making a documentary about the case. you know, kind of like serial?"

"yeah, that's a... that's a terrible idea."

irl lols

I lol’d at that too! Perfect lawyer thing to say.

I mentioned Big Mouth on the 10 TV shows yr watching thread and no one took me up on it, I figured it'd gone under the radar! They break the 4th wall a few times during the season re it being weird to watch kids + penises and vajays.

That sounds sordid... I thought the show was deftly and sweetly handled, even with the filth. I'd say more but dont wanna spoiler it.

If you are looking for a sexy Euro romp, you have to see the movie Raw. So much fun.

Schitt's Creek continues to be just delightful.

this thread needs more repping for Marco Polo

is it good? I saw it and was curious and then forgot to check it out

also: if you like cold brooding detective-ing, check out Shetland. I'm hooked. it's SO good.

i just heard about that via an article somewhere, something about the best crime shows from each country. at least the ones available to stream.

oh yeah this article:

that reminds me, has anyone watched suburra? i've heard some good things

ian was digging it. i'm probably going to read the book and watch the film first before i jump into the series.

i was wondering about suburra as well

this review of ep 2 made me think i need to get on board

https://decider.com/2017/10/09/suburra-recap-season-1-episode-2/

the preview looked like extremely my shit

this is over on amazon prime, but my wife and i have been enjoying the Kettering Incident, some good x-files in tasmania vibes...

My 6 month free netflix deal is just about to end. So i need to work out if I can keep it or give it up.
Just getting so used to having it around.

Suburra looks excellent, also I'm buzzing for S3 of Gomorrah that is coming soon.

I think I liked the Kettering Incident but got kind of irritated by a relatively slow pace followed by "whoops here's the exposition" in the last couple episodes

ketting incident is good!! final ep is odd but i loved all of it

that actress is so tall!

Confession Tapes is good

Elizabeth Debicki, definitely tall for sure

Cube, Cube 2, and Cube Zero! My prayers have been answered. I was just thinking a WEEK ago how i wished they were on Netflix. I never tire of them. Wish there was a Cube t.v. show. That was on every day. Forever.

Mindhunter is A+ in case anyonecis wondering

really enjoyed the first two eps.

Cube, Cube 2, and Cube Zero! My prayers have been answered.

jeez on EP 3 I just had a realization about who that ADT tech is, amazing.

yipes i’m such a nerd i knew from the city/state title card
