Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

also pretty good, although i'm still not sold on Clay (actor or character)

Not watched that yet but looking forward to it despite the middling reviews

time-travelling adventure tv show timeless turned out to be way more enjoyable than i was expecting

i started watching it when it first aired & couldnt hang . i couldnt get past the handwavey timewimeyness. i was on the phone to the Department of Temporal Investigations after like 2 episodes lol

it def gets better! and the timeywimeyness leads to some interestingly weirdo situations as time gets increasingly fucked as the show goes along

also the casting folks do a fantastic job of finding unfamiliar and really talented character actors to play the supporting parts each episode

13 Reasons Why season 2 was infuriating but I will still watch it if season 3 comes out. The actor that plays Clay has a definite Ross Gellar/Ted Mosby unlikeability vibe.

really enjoyed 'evil genius' -- not sure how I didn''t remember this case

I watched Ibiza. I was surprised that it was goofier than expected (omg that jizz scene). And Rob Stark is in it!!!

michelle wolf's show is a good start, the amazon sketch was dreadful though

Ohhhh, thank you for reminding me that it's on.

Just watched. I think once they get the obvious things out of the way it will settle into something good. There were definite lol moments in her opening stand up.

I just watched that jared leto is a throat stabbing mannequin movie Outsider. Don't watch it.

I gave Champions two episodes because I am a Mindy Project fan, but it is not good.

Finally relunctantly watched Atypical, (it's been on our queue forever). Finished it in two days. VG+

I need something I can watch tonight and just hit "next episode" on as I fold laundry and organize things. What should I watch??

izombie

otm

izombie is a great laundry show yea

Halt and catch fire. Laundry for the first five episodes then regular for the rest.

Has anyone watched the Hannah Gadsby - Nanette special? Kinda emotionally devastating

i heard her on NPR and thought "i don't really want to listen to anyone yelling, even if I agree with them". but maybe it's good.

it is good, but that's fair. it does become a full-on lecture at a certain point

Not on Netflix, but we just started Killing Eve. Props to everyone who recommended it. This is soooo good.

yeah it's great and weird and at times highly implausible but never anything less than flamboyantly entertaining

is that pheobe w-b's thing?

I'm re-watching Arrested Development from the beginning and I love Portia De Rossi but the change in her face between season 3 and 4 is incredibly jarring when you don't have the luxury of 6 years in between episodes. Why did you ruin your beautiful face, Portia :(

xpost, yeah Phoebe WB. It was immediately addictive. Sandra Oh is so great to watch.

Like a lot of crime shows are such a chore, this one is highly entertaining right off and good music.

"Why did you ruin your beautiful face, Portia :("

probably because if she had done nothing people would have responded too? like... cmon man

Am partway through KILLING EVE. "Your husband has an excellent moo-stache."

I was getting into Limitless but ditched out when it looked like they were going Big Conspiracy route rather than the crime of the week.

this has been built up to impossible heights over the past year, but it completely lives up to all the hype

thanks thread - watching hannah gadsby - great stuff

The Hannah Gadsby thing is a stand up routine?

Ok, it is. For some weird reason I thought it was a movie. Looks good.

Queer Eye makes me cry all the time. I’m not sure if that a good thing or a bad thing. The new sitcom from the Wayan dynasty is fine - I love bog standard sitcoms, and this did the job (i.e did don’t make me cry).

I watched In Living Color when it was on but for some reason stayed away from Wayan stuff because I assumed it was always worse than White Chicks level. It's better than that?

Xposts to Maura. I’m not shaming her but it was only 6 years so I doubt anyone would be all like ‘OMG SHE’S SO OLD!!!!’

Cannabis cookery show? rly?

Yeah, someone watch that and report back. I got irrationally/rationally angry when I saw it pop up.

Has it been mentioned that the Ken Burns Vietnam doc is up? Not sure how long it’s been there, but just recently noticed it. Pretty much been my whole weekend.

highly recommend. it’s excellent!!

gutwrenching & horrific too obv

I def can’t stop watching it

Damn, not in the UK

That Hannah Gadsby show is interesting at times but not very good. I'm not sure it's something you can pick apart without causing offence to people, though. I liked her, she seems like a great woman but it's just not funny (in the funny section, i think i laughed once) nor that wise, really. There are some good bits in the latter serious section but because I hadn't laughed before that it didn't have the impact that was built up. She kept referring in the last minutes to her story but I didn't actually feel that she'd told me it. That's fine if it was too difficult to tell but it left me confused.

nonplussed, I guess. I wanted to like it, to feel moved or just to laugh more than once. Her delivery is very weird/learned but unnatural. I wish her all the best obv.
