So I'm a little late to the party having just watched "Boy in the Striped Pajamas."

Paced evenly if a little slow for a bulk of the movie however had probably the most intense last 10 minutes of any movie around. Recommend if you are feeling like an emotional historical drama.

So I just spent the morning watching The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret and now I'm like, "...What the fuck did I just watch?" It was hilarious and yet so, so wrong on so many levels.

I am not an anime fan and nor have I watched this series, but the folks I know who do like anime - some more than others - all rave about "Attack On Titan."

It's available via Netflix streaming now.

Absolutely loved that show.

Holy Rollers: The Story of Card-Counting Christians

Fun movie documenting the rise of a group of card counters based in a church.

It took some time to warm up to the show, but it was rather fun once I did. I had completely forgotten about it until now though.

So I'm going to be binge-watching on May 17th.

For Downton Abbey fans, The Paradise is what I like to call Downton Abbey: The Retail Store Edition. It's not quite as good as DA, but it's a worthy viewing for fans, especially for those of us who have ever worked retail. I was binging on it last night and will finish out Season 1 tonight or tomorrow probably.

It also got picked up for a second season, it appears.

Rectify, which doesn't seem to get talked about on here. Six episode first season that was very good and the 6th episode was amazing.

I enjoyed it quite a bit. Very interesting show.

Easily one of the best shows on TV.

I haven't checked lately but have they updated Sherlock yet?

House MD. Ok it's a old show but I've never watched it till now. Excellent show!
And it doesn't hurt that Jennifer Morrison is freaking cute.

They just added Season 3 plus additional content.

The wife and I never watched it either, but we're ripping through it on Netflix. Loving it.

Dear Mr. Watterson. Decent documentary on the significance of Calvin and Hobbes.

I have a buddy interviewed in that...I havent watched yet because Ive heard incredibly bad things about it. Edit: Track down the doc "stripped" if you can, its really great.

Watched the 'Monarchy (UK)' series. I wasn't well-versed on the English Monarchy. Was a great way to learn that part of history.

Orange is the New Black is back!

Ginger Baker fans might like Beware of Mr. Baker. Great story, crazy dude.

While it remains one of my favorite shows, I thought the back end of s2 of Orange is the New Black was a bit iffy. Just to speak generally, I thought we got way too much Crazy Eyes and I thought the tonal differences were iffy. This isn't supposed to be Oz

I saw an interview with Crazy Eyes. The actor said the producers thought season one was too much like Summer camp and they wanted to show more of what prison was really like.
I really enjoyed season 2. I liked the flashbacks of the women in their previous lives and how they got there. Also, the V thing kept it tense.

A great season.

Do yourself a favor and stop after about 1/3rd of the way into season 4. :)

I thought S2 was weaker than S1, but still quite good. The way the season ended in particular was awesome.

Heh, funny. I thought S2 was the best season overall.

Put me in the liked season 2 better group. Both were entertaining though and well worth watching.

:confused: Now ya got me paranoid.

I'm not sure at what point it becomes stop worthy. I felt entertained several seasons but there does come a point where it just starts to feel so repetitive.

Big fan of Chelsea. Excited to see her stuff.

Chelsea Handler Inks Mega-Deal for Netflix Late Night Show - Yahoo TV

Been waiting for this news to drop. One of my good buddies is a writer/regular on the show. Ian Karmel, check out his stand up!

We just started the Netflix trial last night and I've been glued to my TV all night and now this morning my pc. So much to watch.. lol.

Which is the reason why I only have basic cable. And now I just got Amazon Prime so I may never leave the house. Well I guess I do have to work. :mad:

Yeah, if we keep Netflix we are going to have to dumb down our movie channels via Direct TV. I can't see paying for all of those movie channels if we have netflix.

My daughter really enjoyed DC Cupcakes. Certainly isn't an in-depth viewing experience, but she's an artistic girl and really loved seeing how they could turn food into art.

If you liked This is the End and Hot Tub Time Machine and you don't mind laughing at the book of Revelation, Rapturepalooza was good for some laughs and little thought.

Yeah, I thought Rapturepalooza was decent. I think 'It's a Disaster' might be the best "apocalypse comedy" though.

Curious if anyone else ever kept up with Luther? I've probably watched 12 of the 14 episodes (broken into 3 miniseries) in the past week. I'll agree the plot isn't as complex as some other shows (much more of a "How will Luther get the guy?" instead of a typical whodunit with a late reveal), but Idris Elba is just so good, and between cinematography and music I really like the mood. I guess the future plan is to make a movie? But for now all 14 episodes are up, and worth watching imo.

It's in my queue but i've never started it.

Short Term 12. The best movie I've seen this year aside from Boyhood.

Continuum is a great series on Netflix. Watch it.

Walking Dead Season 4 is out. Pretty excited to watch it.

Season 2 of Arrow.

I'm liking this more and more. No "Company Man" type of episode that Heroes had but obviously a show that's more than just a single season worth watching.

I hadn't realized Django Unchained was on instantly already. Catching Fire is on there as well, so I tossed that in my queue as I liked The Hunger Games.

Just watched "Zulu" on Netflix Instant. Wanted to get some history since I just bought the "Zulu's on the Ramparts" board game.

Movie was actually a lot better than I expected!!

Nebraska is available to stream. It's a character study about aging and dealing with aging parents. Bruce Dern was very good. Certainly worth a watch.

Watch Black Mirror Online | Netflix

Charlie Brooker can do no wrong. Heavily sci-fi based with a twilight zone slant. Really one of the better shows to come around in the last 5 years.

I really enjoyed Peaky Blinders. Two seasons available. Great for those trying to get that Boardwalk Empire fix.

Thanks.. I've been missing that BE void. :)

I liked this one too.

I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.

Black Mirror really is fascinating and weird, I enjoy it. There's going to be a Black Mirror Christmas Special (seriously) starring Jon Hamm, I am really looking forward to that.

Re: Peaky Blinders - I can't get over the name of the show enough to take it seriously.

I thought this was a great movie. The most appealing part, maybe even more appealing than the comedy, was the locations they filmed it in. Really felt like a look into a familiar neighborhood, something I could relate to.

Watched "Field of Lost Shoes" last night. Not a bad little Civil War flick. A bit overdramatic at times, but some decent action scenes.

Murphy and Neill are SO good in it though.

House of Cards is back on Feb. 27th

Watch Go to Work Online | Netflix

Internet comments are gold. And I basically hate the genre.

I've started watching Halt and Catch Fire, the AMC show - which now has its first season on Netflix. For me it's totally watchable and pretty good - can't wait for the second season.

I watched the first few episodes today as well. Good show, but as a computer geek, lines like "your code is like music" makes my eyes roll hard enough to give me a headache.

NO ONE HAS MENTIONED SENSE 8????!!!!!!!!! OMG, I fucking love this show. Antmeister and I went through it really fast.

For those that are interested, the entire Seinfeld library is now streaming on Hulu.

I had the opposite response. I thought it was terrible.

Yeah, surprised not to see Sense8 on this list considering we waited a week after it came out to watch it. Highly rated show on both IMDB as well as Netflix itself. Multiple-character driven show with some familiar actors who aren't even the main focus of the show.

In this first season, the focus is on 8 characters who are telepathically linked but live at different locations of the world. At various points of the show they can take on the ability of each other when needed.

This was posted at 8:23 last night in the 2015 TV Show thread:


Not sure why, but that cracked me up. Only could have been better if it was Antmeister that posted how bad it was.

From what I've read I've been waiting for my brother to watch it so I can get a better sense of whether I'd like it.

Just went through, quickly, Rake which is an Australian Lawyer show. They made a bad American version of it with Greg Kinnear, but I really enjoyed the 16 episodes on Netflix enough that I got the Season 3 (the last season) DVD from my library.

Made. My. Day. New Christopher Guest movie coming to Netflix.

The Wet Hot American Summer series and this are awesome moves for Netflix IMO. I like the way they're doing things over there.

+1

Can't wait for Jessica Jones and Punisher.

I need to start checking this thread more often. I go into Netflix with the best intentions, then just end up watching one of Tarantino's movies for the 15th time. I feel like they do a shit job of serving up suggestions for me.

Watching The X Files. It's been along time. Love this show.

Loved watching Mr. Untouchable. Fascinating story about a NYC drug kingpin that I didn't know anything about.

Re: Recommendations on Netflix Original series.

I have seen Daredevil and know of House of Cards and Orange is the New Black. Outside of those anybody have any experience with some of Netflix's other series? Interested in Sense8 and Bloodlines and maybe some others just not sure which to start next.

edit: Guess I could have scrolled up. See Sense8 has mixed reactions and Peaky Blinders is decent.

Sense8 only has mixed reactions here. The rest of the population likes it:
Sense8 (TV Series 2015– ) - IMDb
Sense8: Season 1 - Rotten Tomatoes

Watch Lillehammer. Great show about a mafia guy who goes into the protection program after testifying in a case, chooses Lillehammer as his destination.
He then sets up shop. Great characters. Great story lines.

Too many good shows to pick from on Netflix. I'm enjoying the Hell out of "Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Class". I saw the first episode of "Bloodlines" and thought it was fantastic.

I need to see "Sense8" and "Grace and Frankie".

And I still haven't watched "Daredevil" (I'm not sure why - maybe I'm comic book show'ed out for the moment).

Saw that Narcos is starting soon too. Hoping that's a good one. Just ridiculous amounts of great series on Netflix right now.

I think The Young Doctors Notebook is a BBC/Netflix exclusive? Anyways, its freaking fantastic and I highly suggest you and everyone you know watch it.

We tried Sense 8 a few weeks ago. Forced myself to endure the whole first episode, but just couldn't make it more than 15 mins through the second.

I think the moment I knew this show was not for me was when the two cops were in the car driving through gang territory, and one cop says to the other '...but I guess you must really hate gangs, after they murdered your parents?' (slight paraphrase). Just one of those classic pieces of shitty dialogue used to establish character backgrounds/motivations that bad shows and movies use and instantly give me no faith in the script...

Daredevil was pretty great, and although a lot of that is due to the villains, but they've also found a good mix of humour and violence/darkness that the other superhero TV shows haven't.

Although not a favorite, I enjoy Radcliffe and Hamm immensely in it.

I've only caught the first two episodes of Sense8 so far and really liked both. I'm looking forward to the rest.

I loved Daredevil.

I hated Sense8 too. Found it very boring.

I only watched it at all because there was a big debate at work split down the middle between those who love Sense8, and those who hated it - seems like that's the norm. :)

I hated Sense8. Really enjoyed Daredevil though. About as good as you can do a TV series based on a comic.

Just finished Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Class. Man, that was just gut bustingly hilarious!

Enemy at the Gates was recently added. Somehow I missed this one. Really good WWII movie about snipers.

I've had Jiro Dreams of Sushi on my watchlist for a while, but since it's supposedly dropping off Netflix soon I finally got round to watching it tonight. Documentary about Jiro Ono, the top sushi chef in Tokyo. 85 years old but still running his 10 seat, $300 per seat restaurant in central Tokyo.

Well worth watching if the idea of a documentary about a sushi chef sounds like your kind of thing.

I started that one, but never got into it.

Anyone start Narcos yet?

Yep. Quite good. I think I've watched 4 episodes so far.

I have no idea how they managed to fit everyone in the show. It was easily my favorite show this summer.

Up to episode 10 of Bloodlines. My wife and I both think it's fantastic.

Really liked Narcos. My Colombian friend doesn't rate it though - apparently there's another Escobar-centric drama in Spanish that is about 400 episodes long that did a better job with the story.

Jesus.

A slight exaggeration. :D

It was about 100 episodes IIRC.

Yep and only 8 eps!! Damn I need more!
