GOOD on Netflix STREAMING?

[DrunkleJon]

I like it.

Sounds to me like something along the lines of the "Planet Earth" series or something else from BBC/Discovery, or one of them.

Perhaps was it The Universe?

Been mentioned, but:

Orange is the new Black is amazingly entertaining.

House of Cards is awesome.

I look forward to the next Netflix original series!

Currently working my way through season 2 of OitNB. I didn't think I'd like the show, but was pleasantly surprised that I did.

Loved season 1 of HoC, season 2 was a bit weaker to me, but still entertaining.

Have you tried Lilyhammer? It's another netflix original series, I think there's 2 seasons out now. It's nothing groundbreaking or original, just a new take on/combination of the fish-out-of-water and mafia tropes, but it's pretty entertaining and well-written. The fact that it takes place almost entirely in Norway makes it interesting on a completely different level.

 

[cheezydemon3]

Thanks! I had missed that one.

It isn't like Netflix makes the shows themselves, but they seem to have good taste!

They resurrected Sherlock for 3 new episodes.

VIKINGS......on the History channel streaming........AWESOME!!

I'm sure it's been mentioned, but Orange is the New Black Season II dropped last week. It's very, very good so far.

Epic!

Blood Eagle!!!

Blood Eagle!!!

I should have mentioned that season 1 is on Netflix, but the history channel app on roku always has the last 6 episodes streaming for free.

Watching BoB again. Dick Winters saved our lives.

OITNB is technically not so great IMO, however, I'm really enjoying it and so is Mrs. Gnome. It's faulty, but still very entertaining. Thumbs up for the women's prison!

So many ******* decisions by that broad - she needs a slap in the right direction.

I am finding SALEM on Hulu pretty damn awesome. Once you get to episode 3 ro 4 and the story starts cranking along it's great. Creepy but not too creepy. My kinda gig.

That's where I am too.

It aint HOC but keeps you watching.

Dr Who Season 7 is up!!

Season 1 was up and down, but Season 2 is much better so far. It is much more gritty and does a better job depicting the darker side of the prison instead of presenting it in a comedic light. It's still funny, but it's much more interesting to me than Season 1. I particularly like how the focus has shifted from Chapman, still the main character, and is more on each individual character and their back story leading them to prison.

 

[cheezydemon3]

Agreed Darwin18.


*EDIT: The comment below is On topic, but.....it is taken straight from the show and may offend the easily offended*

It is coming into its own. No more whole episodes about the freezer dying, and a lot more "I wanna f**k Jesus in his hand holes".

 

[paulster2626]

Jail seems like a pretty fun time. Kind of like camp.

 

[Darwin18]

Except, sometimes you get recruited into a gang, beaten, or killed over panty hose.

 

[geek_chaser]

I started Ripper Street. So far its not bad. Its hard to stay focused because im watching Supernatural, Sherlock, i started Ripper Street, and Haven. Im on a show overload.

A recent discussion of "the best overlooked horror on Netflix" yielded...

American Mary
Devils Pass
Dead Snow
The possession

 

[bleme]

My girls spent the night at gma's house so I thought I'd take the opportunity to watch World War Z. Less than 10 minutes in and I had to switch to an episode of The Guardian - just too intense for SWMBO.

After she went to bed, I still had time for an episode of Dr Who though. :rockin:

 

[biereblanche]

I dunno how Dead Snow qualifies as overlooked.

Recent horror I've watched/ re-watched:
Evil Dead 2 (classic)
Event Horizon (worthwhile)
The Bleeding House (so-so)
Hellraiser (they've got all of them, hit and miss)
Tucker & Dale vs. Evil (very worth watching when in the right mood)
The Host
I think Cabin in the Woods is also instant now? This and the 2 above are LOL funny at times.
Night of The Living Dead '90 (my favorite of the remakes, the original is up, too)
Pontypool

Also
Serpent and the Rainbow (one of my favs if you haven't seen it. Book is great, too)
My Bloody Valentine - they have the uncut DVD version "as the director intended it" before getting hacked by censors, classic slasher made better.

Non-horror I can recommend:
Confessions of a Dangerous Mind
Upstream Color, somewhat unsettling, potentially very confusing

 

[cheezydemon3]

Dead snow NOT overlooked? Glad to hear it! I was laboring under the impression that only 17% of Americans could read subtitles.....

Ba dum dum.

Strangely, watching An American Haunting, when I suddenly have the irresistible urge to watch SOCCER.... So I paused it, lol.

 

[HoppyDaze]

Smartass

 

[cheezydemon3]

YES I AM.......incredibly smart.

On a side note, the ROKU app for ESPN3 doesn't seem to care that I am not a cable subscriber! Awesome.

Back On TOPIC:

An American HAUNTING was UNWATCHABLE. 9 to 10 seconds worth of SCARY does not justify the othe 118 minutes of CRAP.


*EDIT in my infinite intelligence I said American Horror Story, which was completely INCORRECT*

 

[DisturbdChemist]

I consider American Horror Story as a thriller than horror. I like the series. Have not seen the newest season yet

 

[hunter_le five]

90% of American horror movies: an hour and a half of researching why the ghost/monster/etc is angry & pointless backstory, 5 minutes of "scary" stuff.

My bad! I was talking about An American Haunting. AWFUL!

I have seen episode 1 of AHS and it was decent.

Penny Dreadful. Not on Netflix, but I found a copy online somewhere...

Not great so far, but my playback device seemed to play it choppy. The file claims 23 fps, and it looks fine on the PC.

Wife said it didn't mind her, so I let it go. By the end I just couldn't focus on the show anymore. Next episode I will NOT watch it that way!

Anyhow, I think it has promise.

Oh, and we rented Pitch Black. I don't think that's on Netflix now either, but it's an AWESOME action Scifi film! Vin Diesel is classic him, and the blonde chick is SO hot!

Agreed. They kinda lost me with all of the "Riddik this and that" after that movie, but Pitch Black was awesome! Less pretentious than the later films.
