Netflix Watch Instantly Recommendation Thread

This Middleditch/Schwartz improv special seems like an almost magical combination of unappealing things.

I dared myself to weather the embarrassment and withstand 30 minutes...couldn't quite make it.

i didn't hate the one i watched and it had at least a few laughs (it was the one where the guy was interviewing for SNL) but i haven't watched any more bc i guess it wasn't really that compelling and i like both those guys from the cbb-verse

I just finished Never Have I Ever & it’s fantastic

i thought midnight gospel was going to have more psychedelic landscapes and less gettin' high with dr drew

yeah, ryan murphy is only good for 3-4 episodes ever for me. it's like he gets tired of his 'great idea' halfway through.

I'm excited because I seem to like Ryan Murphy all the time. The Politician was the first thing I watched of his but I loved every episode and was very sad when I realised I'd watched the last one. Then last night I discovered Hollywood and God it was good to be that entertained. So I guess one day I'll watch his back catalogue.

Oh wow he did Glee too. I'm such a pop culture doofus these days. I never saw that either.

he did American Horror Story and a million other things. AHS is the worst offender for drifting off into stupid story lines though. I've watched most of them and the only ones that are solid all the way through are Cult and Coven.

i watched the first season of ahs and could not get through the second season. I watched all of scream queens and i feel bad about finishing it. Popular was ok, it also fizzled out. I really liked Glee for half a season and then I very much did not like anything else I saw after.

I am watching that Belgian "the sun is going to kill everyone, fly west" new show, Into the Night. I like it so far.

Pose is his best show, probably.

yeah Never Have I Ever is so good even in the first 20 minutes. Although, both F and i yelled when we learned that hot Mohan was already dead. *episode 1, 1st 10 minutes spoiler. Ryan Murphy wishes.

it’s the best!!

Dead To Me season 2 was good I thought. Suffered that problem so many TV shows have where it sagged in the middle and was padded with a lot of unnecessary subplots but recovered nicely at the end.

Really like Never Have I Ever too - was dreading having John McEnroe as narrator but it really worked for me and the final bit with him was unexpectedly charming. Dude who plays Paxton is cute but looked way too old to be in high school though, it was a little creepy.

he had way too much of a Franco thing going on but i still liked him.

The Kimmy Schmidt 'interactive' movie was actually really fun, if you already like that 30 Rock joke style. They really have to come up with a better way for you to go back and watch the alternate paths though.

has anyone's standards slipped enough that they started Outer Banks? It looks rubbish yet I hear it's compulsively watchable. I mean I watched two series of You so it's not like I can discern quality anymore.

i was too traumatized by the i-land and the episodes that I did watch that I don't want to go to Outer Banks yet.

It seems you can't watch the Kimmy Schmidt thing on an Apple TV device, or not if you're me, anyway. You get a three-minute video where the robot tells you about why you can't watch it, and then Netflix sends you an email explaining the issue to you.

iirc you can stream to your apple tv from phone or ipad and do it, if it's like the Black Mirror interactive thing was

Yeah, there's a few kid ones that my son likes that don't work on our tv but are fine on laptop or tablet/phone

Ha this has been lurking on my 'if really desperate' list

I am watching that Belgian "the sun is going to kill everyone, fly west" new show, Into the Night. I like it so far.

2 eps in, i like the premise but i don't know how much of the awful people being awful i can take. i guess it's a standard modus operandi for disaster movies.

yeah, it's like one day in and all the dudes are jockeying for power. it's absurd. but it's only 6 episodes so it goes by quick. i would watch another season.

i like the actor playing the pilot, he was in also in french spooky shows les revenants/the returned and black spot/zone blanche.

I started Outer Banks & its decent.
Not at all believable but the kids are good & it’s not as cheesy as i expected

Is anyone watching the south Korean series Extracurricular? I'm two episodes in and loving it.

i watched Timetrap last night and fucking loved it. more B-grade bonkers shit like this please Netflix!

Oh I forgot to post about this but yeah it was great, went to some pretty wild places. Also impressed that it managed to tackle topics like underage sex trafficking and depression with some degree of complexity, not always a given with K-dramas.

Not familiar with k-drama but yeah I like the way Extracurricular handles those complexities. Also love the way it's shot. There's a scene in which Guery's watch ever so briefly reflects the sun in Jisoo's face, that was so casually and beautifully captured.

Returning to Yerac's point to say damn she's right after all, at least with Hollywood. Air really came out of it in episode 4, anyway.

Oh God now I'm watching the finale. 😬

Ok I watched six episodes of Outer Banks last night and I can't say it's good at all but it was diverting enough I guess while so high I couldn't get off the couch. Then we switched over to The Great on Hulu, which really is very good.

Thanks for the extracurricular recommendation , enjoyed that

i finished into the night, it was good! clearly setting themselves up for a second season.

also finished money heist season 4, best one yet except aaaah you fuckers!

anyone doing snowpiercer (the series)?

I heard it was godawful but who knows

new Patton Oswalt special isn't funny in the slightest, at least to me. First time I've had that experience with his stand up.

Dead To Me is so great. The plot felt a little creaky this time around but was humming by the end and anyway it's not really about the plot, it's about how many times in the space of 5 minutes Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini can hate each other and befriend each other all over again. Roles of a lifetime for those two.

Can't imagine Snowpiercer being any good, given the film was rubbish and didn't have enough plot to last a couple of hours.
Love the dedication to the idea of using a train, though, possibly the form of transport least capable of dealing with adverse weather.

Can't imagine Snowpiercer being any good, given the film was rubbish and didn't have enough plot to last a couple of hours.

it's not just a straight rip of the film though. they're investigating a moider on the train. i watched the first one, it wasn't terrible even though it featured someone saying "you know how hard it is to find love on this train", don't think i can be bothered to carry on with it though.

White Lines is terrible on paper, even down to a L*wrence F*x cameo, but is in practice a total blast.

I've finished the first season of The Kingdom, and the thing I like best about it is the one guy who throws himself everywhere.

Season 2 of Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts out a week Friday

I tried one ep of Snowpiercer and couldnt get past the conceit which was bad enough in the film but at least the film had some style and balls, the TV series just made it all feel real clumsy.

Finally starting on Money Heist after grudgingly liking White Lines; Money Heist much better and more fun.

Man that Space Force show is horrible, I don't know why I should have expected otherwise...

greg daniels is not having a good year

I couldn't even make it to the end of the trailer:
