Streaming recommendations (including Netflix)

Started watching Collateral last night,seems promising.

Watched a rather unusual horror the other (after a recommend in Empire mag) –
CAM – stars the girl who got her eye popped out in Handmaid’s Tale as an internet webcam girl. Things go weird. It’s actually a pretty decent film. There are some boobs on show occasionally, but it’s not smutty 🙂

OA was great. Binge watched both series. long wait for 3 now.

Just started watching Chambers (recommended by Netflix), seems ok so far.

Last Breath, not Netflix but Iplayer so should be good for everyone to watch.

Astonishing story and a comeback from the dead to make a Champions League semi look ordinary

A Very Secret Service

Very French very chic very funny

S1 of this was excellent. S2 I’m struggling to work through; it feels like hard work, and like it’s lost everything that made the first so good :/

My next recommendation

Occupied

Playing catch up a bit, but watched Polar tonight.

Huge fun in a brain off, mind open, way.

Loved the ‘slow motion’ take on a corridor fight scene.

Half disappointed in the ‘open’ ending, half hoping they make another one.

Undercover.

Really good mainly Dutch drugs, gangsters and cops noir. Set on a mobile home park where they weekend. Some very black humour, but it’s just really well put together and acted, good domestic touches etc. Lots of female characters. A real treat.

(Blimey a rave review. I’m in Budapest later and will probably watch an episode on the laptop, so there you go…)

I watched the first episode last week johnx2, seems good so far

Watched “Sorry to bother you” last night, was a bit strange but enjoyable on the whole

Loved “Sorry To Bother You”! One of the best films of the last few years that.

The 12th Man.

The 12th Man.

That was superb!

I’ve just finished watching ‘Kin’ and whilst it took me a while to get into it it got better and better – great sci-fi.

The 12th Man.

Not watched this yet but looking at the synopsis I assume it’s a film of a book called “We Die Alone.” Amazing take if survival and will worth a read for those who like a true war story!

12th man is very good, courage and determination you find hard to imagine in anyone and which you just know you could never get near.

Turn up Charlie.

Easy binge watching.

Bad Blood , Mafia , drugs and violence . Whats not to like .

Kin was surprisingly OK – enjoyed it.

Happy!

Series1 better than series2

Barkley Marathon was an unexpected treat.

Wandering Earth – got through it with lots of help from FFWD button. The premise was great (in a sci-fi way) but characters were thin and plot did not advance very well.

Bob Dylan film by Scorcese! great watch!

New Black Mirror. not as good as the last series but still quality.

re-watched all of ‘Master of None’ this week, love that.

‘When they see us’ and ‘Dead to Me’ next up

The wondering Earth is bonkers Chinese Hollywood blockbuster fare, utterly mad, huge and crazy..I was a bit annoyed that it was dubbed and not subtitled. It did get me into reading Liu Cixin’s Three Body Problem though

Currently watching Knights of Sidonia…its really rather good Japanese hard sci fi anime.
Its a pity that Cowboy BeeBop is no longer being shown but there is a Netflix live action version rumoured to be coming soon which may, or may not, be a good thing

Black Spot is good , season 2 just started .

I Am Mother
Watched it last night.
I thought it was very good,some great plot twists.

12th man ! Wow

Oh my!

I binged watched most of The Chef Show last night.

If you are in the slightest interested in food it’s glorious!

Oh my!

Genius.

The feeling of all films I’ve ever liked as a kid rolled into one.

How good is Unbelievable?

A beautifully paced – procedural crime case pans out across two time frames following the victim(s) of a rape.

It’s refreshing to see the attention given on the legal system – as it actually works completely against the victim during the 8 episodes.

Great to see lead Detectives without drink problems too!

Toni Collette is the main name but shares the prominent role with Merritt Wever.

No one mentioned Top Boy?

Canadian rapper to the rescue! If I had the money what would I reboot? Phone shop? Ideal?

yeah binged through Top Boy over the last few nights, great stuff.

How good is Unbelievable?

It’s very good indeed, utterly gripping stuff. Kaitlin Dever deserves a nod along with Colette and Wever

Unlike S2 of Mindhumter, which was only just OK, and a huge disappointment after S1.

Top Boy+1. After binge watching the new series I watched the original series again.

Nice one Rone – I have a little crush on Toni Collette. now on my list ta.

Just finished Top Boy last night. **** dark fam innit?

Amazon rather than Netflix… but we are watching “The Boys” at the moment and its a very good dark twist on the super hero genre.

Watched the first 3 episodes of Top Boy last night. Excellent stuff fam!

Anybody done ST3 yet?

I was put off by the timing – mid summer release!

Fahrenheit 11/9 is an eye opener.
