What’s on Netflix? - and other streaming services.

[Homestar]

So, what’s good, bad or otherwise? What you watched that knocked your socks off? Netflix, Stan, Amazon, etc. Put a couple of sentences in about what genre, series/movie, etc.

I’ll make a start.

Netflix - ‘Brooklyn 99’. Sitcom based in an NYPD precinct. 5 seasons there now, 6th just released in the US so should be here soon with some luck.

Netflix - ‘Love, Death and Robots’. 18 short films ADULTS ONLY - animated, some right in the uncanny valley and won’t be everyone’s cup of tea. Strange and well worth a look.

Netfix - ‘The good place’ - Just go watch this one, it’s brilliant. Comedy series about the afterlife - Ted Danson in one of his best roles, they all just nail this one.

Post ‘em as you see ‘em, or old favourites from a couple of years back, etc.

[Homestar]

Stan - ‘Kidding’ - Series that’s just wrapped up it’s first season - stars Jim Carrey in a very unusual role. Takes a couple of episodes to get into IMO but pays off big time.

Stan - ‘Catch 22’ - Series coming 18th May - Based on Joseph Hellers novel, it’s directed by George Clooney and Stars George Clooney, Hugh Laurie, Christoper Abbot and Kyle Chandler. Very excited about this one...

[Homestar]

Netflix - ‘The Crown’ - Series 3 officially coming. The life and times of Queen Elizabeth II - huge budget (Reportedly $6.5 to $13M per episode), brilliantly shot and great telling of her story. 5 stars for this one.

[Pedro_The_Swift]

You've sold me on Catch 22... :BigThumb:

[goingbush]

If you like watching Series LandRovers in action,

The Siege of Jadotville , which also happens to be a true story & a bloody good film .

It does - it’s the sort of show you’ll end up binge watching. 😊

[loanrangie]

Umbrella Academy, Colony, Travelers, The Last Kingdom and plenty more i cant think of right now.

[Homestar]

Umbrella Academy, Colony, Travelers, The Last Kingdom and plenty more i cant think of right now.

Was going to start watching Umbella Academy a few weeks back when it was released but ended up skipping it for some reason. Just watched the first 2 episodes - it’s bloody fantastic! Thanks for the recommendation. 👍

[grey_ghost]

Stranger Things (2 seasons). Looks like a kids show but is actually quite good. Give it a go.

[grey_ghost]

Making a murderer. (Netflix - so is Stranger Things above). It’s slow at the start but gets better if you stick with it.

[Homestar]

Oh **** - must go to bed.... Just watched 5 episodes back to back.., 👍😊

[Homestar]

And another 5 to finish off the season - go watch it if you haven’t - it’s bloody awesome. 👍. Did pick up the plot a long way out though, it wasn’t well disguised, but worth it anyway - 9/10.

[Homestar]

Found a trailer for it - it’s on Stan here from the 19th here though.

Netflix - Travelers.

Just watched the 2 seasons of ‘Atypical’ - very good.

Another vote for “After Life”. It’s been a long time since a tv show has had me in hysterical laughter, so much so I had to pause it until I calmed down... and ten minutes later so heartbreakingly sad I had tears streaming down my face. Never been much of a fan of Gervais but this changed my mind.

”Stranger Things” Creepy good...

”Outlander” sometimes cringeworthy but it got me hooked. Waiting for the next series now.

”The Crown” lots of very nicely restored Series 1’s in the earlier shows.

Does anyone still watch free to air?

You must be one of the few. Haven't watched FTA for nearly 12 months now. I did flick the telly on the caravan the other week on a cold night, but only long enough to flick through the channels, sigh and turn it off and pick up a book. Just can't find ANYTHING worth watching these days on FTA. Makes you wonder how long it can survive without changing what it does as I know I'm not the only one who's given up on it.

You've sold me on Catch 22... :BigThumb:

Catch 22 is one of the best (anti) war movies.

I particularly like the Catch 22 pre-dawn intro piece complete with the sounds of birds, dogs barking and the detailed mechanical sounds of a Wright double row Cyclone being urged into life.

Yes a very well done drama...probably not over dramatised at all? The pommy accents were a bit disconcerting to start with but probably better than dodgy ruski accents.

some of it is really accurate but they fail in several areas. nuclear science, radiation exposure, soviet mentality at the time.

I binged on series one of Money Heist on Netflix. Original name is Casa de Papel. About a load of Spanish bank robbers. Forgot all about it, but recently noticed series 2 and 3 are now on Netflix, so starting to binge again!

Pine Gap is a Netflix series set in Alice Springs. No Landys, but it does feature some stunning aerial footage of the landscape around Alice.

Not sure if anyone else was into ‘Rocos Modern Life’ about 20 years ago? If so, there’s a 45 minute reboot on Netflix and set in 2019. 👍

Stan - ‘Miracle Workers’. Comedy staring Daniel Radcliffe and Steve Buscemi as God - and he isn’t very smart or nice. 😁

If you liked ‘The Good Place’ you’ll like this.

Netflix - Bill Burr, Paper Tiger. Comedian who’s non PC. Very funny. 👍

Netflix - ‘Final Space’. Animation - funny but quite sad in places too.

Netflix - just watched the movie "LIFE" (It's set in space that's all I'll say)

Don't google it and spoil the surprise just watch it, it's great ! Trust me.

urrgh, terrible movie.
bad science, and no horror.

[Homestar]

I thought what happened to Ryan Reynolds was pretty good. No, I didn’t see it as a horror, more a thriller. Though it was pretty good - it’s entertainment, I watch things to be entertained not pick them apart myself. If I analysed everything I watched it would suck because I like Sci Fi and that’s all bad science but still fun to watch. [emoji106]

[DiscoMick]

The Mackinsky Method - Michael Douglas and a cast of famous faces in a comedy about a washed up actor who runs acting classes while trying to cope with a chaotic private life. Very funny.

This may be a little out of left field, and you will probably need a VPN to watch it, but Cobra Kai ain't bad. Weird premise. It reunites most of the cast from the 80s movie The Karate Kid. Believe me, it is a whole lot better than that sounds. A whole lot better than most of the dross we are being served these days. You'll probably need Prime, but it may be on YouTube's paid service. Like I said, VPN to show you in the US, or wait I guess.

Another one for those who can get it is Chernobyl. Once again, not sure how to get it here. It will come though, and IMO it's well worth it.

Thanks. I'd forgotten Foxtel since I got sick of their gouging. Had them for 10 years. Funny they never asked me for their dish back..

Edit. I shouldn't be so dismissive. Foxtel gave us some great moments, and provided some entertainment for my wife in her time. She loved what she called "house programs', such as Grand Designs. We would go to AFL games together and if we won we'd watch the game again when we got home. Geelong won lots of games then.

Season 3 of Atypical is now on Netflix for those that have been watching. 👍

Netflix - The Kominsky Method. Michael Douglas and Alan Arkin - sad at times and funny, they are great together. Season 2 just dropped.

SWMBO is watching a serial called undercover law,on netflx,not a bad show.

Seems it goes on for ever,around 60 shows.We are up to number37.

Undercover cops,Columbia,etc.

Even the occasional Defender.

One of the undercover cops is quite pleasing to the eye,and she is a pretty good actor.[bighmmm][biggrin]

Absolutely agree, the woman is a work of art... and I’m no prude, I just find the whole series has gradually descended into Mills and Boon-esque soft porn. The story needs to be interesting, and frankly the plot seems to have turned to tripe... don’t think I’ll bother any more.

New series of Money Heist (Casa de Papel) has started, so getting into that again. Watched two episodes so far and it's as good as ever.

I quite like a good Scandinavian crime book, so I reasoned the Valhalla Murders would be worth a watch. Nearly through the first series and it's excellent!

[Slunnie]

Netflix:
2nd Season of Sex Education was good, bit of a teen flick though.
2nd season of Formula 1 Drive to Survive was really good.
Uppity, The Willy T Ribbs story was really good
The two Popes was really good also.

I have heard Unorthadox is really good 4x1hr, so I'll watch that next when I have time.

[Epic_Dragon]

Crip Camp on Netflix is interesting in it is about the disabled finally having a voice and changing the world to be more accessible for all and equal rights in life. It follows one group in America. (From 70s ) (was great for me to watch as a lot of the things I enjoy now as a disabled person are thanks to that group) Picard on Prime. (All star treks are on all of them)

They seem to be putting new things on them faster than normal. Watched a movie called ANNA lastnight which wasn't too bad.

There's a doco type one on Netflix or stan about love and sex around the world. (Some weird 'traditions" in other countries [emoji51])

“Brave New World” - On Stan, based on Aldous Huxleys novel - just brilliant. Takes a lot from the book and takes it much further as far as future tech goes given the book was written in the ‘30’s. Little bit spicy too. 👍

Its a crazy show. The ending left it open for a sequal, but how it ended makes you wonder how a sequal is going to start! Well done to them, I'll watch another season of it!
