Recommendations of All Things Netflix

Re: Recommendations of All Things Netflix

I reckon for me it's likely a mood show. I finished The Man in the High Castle on Amazon yesterday evening, and watched a bit of Tiger King before bed and just couldn't relate so switched over to Ozark...…..which is starting to become a bit formulaic in itself.

I devoured Tiger King and have stumbled through the latest season of Ozark. 3 eps in over a week long period and it’s definitely not at the same standard as previous seasons (which I binged in a day or 2).

Carole Baskin murdered her husband.

Damn straight, she did.

Haha look at the high brow types in here shunning the Tiger King phenomenon.

Not shunning it, will likely go back and finish it, and the story is admittedly *!*!*!*!ing out there and entertaining, but I certainly didn’t have the compulsion to binge it. Watching that big a confluence of *!*!*!*!wits is a bit tiring.

SBS On Demand rather than Netflix, but I'm loving Letterkenny.

I rarely get into a series but the writing is incredible. They do talk fast sometimes and the hick Canadian phrasing takes some getting used to.

Is that a comedy?

Yeah, it's all a bit much but it definitely appealed to my inner low brow, rubber necking side.

Talk fast sometimes? Very clever writing and very funny in parts.

It’s basically a 20 minute sitcom. They started out uploading skits on YouTube and went from there.

Re: Recommendations of All Things Netflix

We watched it. Honestly... it’s crap.
But super weird. Probably shock value and it lasts like 2 episodes.

Yeah, I lasted about one and a half episodes before I became bored.

Few blokes at work rated it, I lasted two episodes and thought I'm done.

I am enjoying season two of Jack Ryan on Amazon Prime at the moment.

The really big TV program of my youth was Roots by Alex Hailey. It was such a load of crap.

I also really enjoyed Jack Ryan. Binged both seasons back to back.

I've been watching that based on your original recommendation. Parts of it are very funny but I'd class it as an acquired taste. I could see why people might just watch one or two shows

Re: Recommendations of All Things Netflix

I watched Uncut Gems this afternoon, and can't say if I really enjoyed it or not. It was an intriguing story, but it was borderline impossible to cope with the tension built up by grifting nature of the main protagonist and his associates in a lot of the scenes.

Re: Recommendations of All Things Netflix

Just finished watching the four part series called Unorthodox.

If anyone is interested into an insight of Hasidic Jews and trying to break away from the culture, then you will enjoy this. A very powerful performance by the young Israeli actress Shira Hass. One of the best dramas I have seen for some time.

Have just finished this one.

Amazing acting by all the cast, fantastic story line, extremely powerful scenes, complex characters and parts that were extremely uncomfortable to watch.

I agree with BAD, one of the best dramas I have seen in a while.
