GOOD on Netflix STREAMING?

[Radboud]

I watched The Last Kingdom a while ago, pretty decent show.

10 Cloverfield Lane

Wow. You have to see this. What an awesome movie. Crosses over many genres. Had me hooked the entire way through.

Yea, that was pretty crazy ^^

 

[GrogNerd]

bingeing on Longmire for the past week

great characters, interesting overall story arcs

but individual episodes can be kind of 'meh'

I liked that one too.

Anyone watching "The Crown"? Wife is watching it and wants me to catch up so we can watch together... We don't typically have the same taste in shows.

I'm diggin it after two episodes. But I'm a big fan of historical stuff.

I wanted to watch this so bad but John Lithgow as Churchill is just so hard for me to get past. I'll try again. Love Lithgow but it's an odd choice to me.

I think if I can get this on Netflix I am going to watch this tonight! Looks good!

The casting director needs a kidney punch for that choice.

Who has watched Falling Skies or Defiance? Sci Fi shows... both are solid. Both on Amazon Prime

They have the DVD, but not available for streaming. Might seem odd, but I never stream Netflix, only DVDs for me.

We watched Falling Skies from start to finish during its original run. Liked it, but ended up a little disappointed in it

Be prepared to suspend a whole buttload of disbelief

Here's an off-topic question for everyone; anyone know where we can find Suburgatory season TWO? We have S1 on DVD, S3 on DVR, but S2 has not been released OnDemand or on DVD

I could probably get it for you for about $20...

Or a 6-pack of decent homebrew.

They just added two seasons of Meat Eater, which is a great show if you're into hunting and fishing.

We just finished off Ice Pilots, a reality/documentary series about an airline in Northwest Territories that uses all WWII-era piston planes. Really neat if you like old iron like that.

I am in the middle of the new Werner Herzog movie, Into the Inferno, about an active volcano in Indonesia and the people around it, which he released straight to Netflix. They have a whole bunch of his documentaries available right now. Very interesting stuff if you are into foreign/independent stuff. Cave of Forgotten Dreams is also amazing, and everyone with a cell phone should see his PSA on texting while driving, One Second to the Next.

Also watched Battered Bastards of Baseball recently. Very inspiring story I had been wanting to see for a long time.

Spectral just launched today I believe. Going to give it a watch tonight even though I hear the story is terrible.

The texting and driving thing is absolutely nuts. When I drive to work in the morning I'd say over half of women drivers are texting. There are some men who do it but in my area for whatever reason the women do it way more. It's frightening. How dumb do you have to be to not realize how dangerous it is? A teenager in my town wiped out three of her classmates while texting and driving. went across her lane, the bike lane and up onto a sidewalk where the three were hit. All three survived but suffered permanent injury. What is so important it can't wait a few minutes?

Story isn't bad but could have been told better. I still enjoyed it. Thanks for posting.

I see it every day as well, men and women, young and old. Herzog's film is available for free on Youtube as well. As far as I am concerned this should be mandatory viewing when you renew your drivers license.

Started Mozart in the Jungle Season 2 this weekend. Excellent series on Amazon about classical musicians in New York.

Semi fictional. Originally a book written by an Oboist, the show follows members of the NY Philharmonic. Musicians are kind of strange.

It has some very funny moments. Monica Belluci guest stars currently.

I have wanted to check that out, but my amazon does not stream well.
Not to mention I would watch Monica Belluci hang wall paper!

I am four shows into Detectorists and am enjoying it quite a bit. It's quirky with subtle British humor (humour ) and well acted. Good stuff.

Anyone watch the Sense8 Christmas Special?

Were there Ewoks & Art Carney?

I mean they brought Peter Cushing back to life, why not Art?

Just finished 1st episode of Travelers

Very interesting

 

[GrogNerd]

ok, now we've finished the season and I have to fully recommend Travelers

http://www.indiewire.com/2016/12/travelers-review-netflix-canada-1201761987/

good show. like the premise and some of their fish-out-of-water reactions to new stuff. sometimes funny, but not silly.

not heavy on the science of how they're doing things, but I think it just leaves more room for character and action.

characters are great. I like smart-ass Trevor. he's the oldest of them, but placed in the youngest body (like what's-his-name-Gordon-Hewitt on Third Rock from the Sun)

bummed there's a cliffhanger at the end with no word on a 2nd season

Checked out Transparent on Amazon. Thought it was a comedy. It was not.

Granted, the production is great. Writing is great. Jeffrey Tambor and the rest of the cast are great. If you like dramas this might be right up your alley.

From the first 1.5 episodes I can tell it's not for me. After about half an episode I was hoping it would just move on. I tried a second episode because I wasn't done with my workout and I thought maybe the comedy parts might kick in after the characters are introduced.

I really wanted to like is as I thought the premise very interesting. Even a dark comedy would have been appreciated.

Very well made show...I lasted about 3 episodes; too damn serious and depressing.

They list it as a comedy. Did you think it was supposed to be a funny show? In any way? The funniest thing I saw in teh first episode or two was when Tambor asked to be transferred from County Hospital to Cedars Sinai because she was Jewish.

That ain't even a very good Jewish joke! (I watch Mel Brooks and Joan Rivers, so I know a good Jewish joke!)

Yes, depressing.

I loved the style. It really is a well done show. If there were some funny moments now and again to balance it out, I'd be all in.

It's like Bleeding Gums Murphy says to Lisa Simpson: "The Blues ain't about feeling better, it's about making others feel bad!" I think that's what they are trying to do here.
