Streaming recommendations (including Netflix)

Watched JoJo Rabbit on Disney+ last night.

Not your typical WW2 / holocaust movie, but quite interesting, funny and affecting.

Not Netflix (but Disney+), I’ve spent a good chunk of the weekend binge watching Dopesick.

It’s totally addictive.

Cheers.

Blood Machines

AI space boobs dirty synthwave nonsense. Enjoy 😀

RUN on Now is watchable, not a classic but OK. Phoebe Waller-Bridge if you like her stuff.

It’s totally addictive.

Very good.

An amazing human. RIP

Joan Didion ..The Center Will Not Hold

Just finished Don’t look up. Not a great movie to get you into the Christmas spirit but fun and a good reflection on us humans as a species

What’s that streaming on Houns? NF?

Yeah. Released today, mind wasn’t on homepage, had to search for it

I’m watching S2 of The Witcher and S6 of Gomorrah. Both are pretty decent so far.

Yeah. Released today, mind wasn’t on homepage, had to search for it

Cheers, it came up on Facebook in the meantime, so maybe they’ve launched the publicity today.

Looking forward to it, big fan of Ms Lawrence.

Been enjoying series 1 of Ragnarok on Netflix. Misfit lad in small town in Norway discovers he’s Thor.

OMG, don’t be tempted by Bruised with Halle Berry, its unbelievable bad.

Don’t Look Up is pretty good. Pleasant surprise.

I need to get through a few things on netflix, but having finally got round to haunting of hill house it was pretty good, season 2 of the witcher again was good, moved the story along and was entertaining, Expanse is back on amazon prime, wish they’d do the season in one rather than this once a week rubbish, makes it a nightmare to keep up with, especially the last season.

Don’t watch ‘Don’t Look Up’ biggest load of crap ive ever watched…..

Don’t Look Up is pretty good. Pleasant surprise.

Ok, I’ll give it a go

Don’t watch ‘Don’t Look Up’ biggest load of crap ive ever watched…..

Now I’m conflicted

It’s a matter of opinion.

I was gonna watch ‘dont look up’ but that scathing review put a spanner in the works, it’s just like TripAdvisor

So watched ‘argo’ instead. Relly enjoyable although obviously late to the party

Watched Don’t Look Up last night, it really has a great cast, and there’s a good story in there, it’s just doing too much over the movie, and at 2hrs 20 it’s not short.

If it had cut out a few of the sub plots it would’ve worked better, but i guess they had so many stars to fit into this, and so many offshoots from the plot to fit them into it just got very busy, and a few of the stereotypes being used were pretty much sledgehammered into the story, rather than subtly done like you’d get in a UK satirical style film.

Don’t look up.
Kind of enjoyed it but tbh mainly because I’ll watch anything with Cate Blanchett in it.
It did drag on though.

“14 Peaks”…. Incredible documentry, well worth a watch.

Second 14 peaks, Jimmy Carr’s latest stand up show is really good too.

Has anyone mentioned Dog Of Berlin ?

Watched Don’t look up tonight. I was quite invested in it, the Mrs was bored senseless.

It does drag a bit though. Quite like how they portray the American President as a complete arse, in spite of the fact that she’s female (Meryl Streep) though and also the cynical character assassination of the billionaire tech mogul

I quite enjoyed Dont Look Up….but it was background TV, watched it whilst doing the wrapping of kids presents. I’d also had 3 beers before starting the film and that probably helped.

going to bail on series 2 of the witcher, total dross, are all netflix 2nd series cursed ?

going to bail on series 2 of the witcher, total dross

It’s as magnificently Stupid as series 1. Right from the start, I was worried that they’d exhausted the supply of Stupid, but they kept finding new veins. Season 2 is just more refined Stupid. Not to everyone’s taste, granted, but it is the most purely refined distillation of Stupid Entertainment I’ve seen in years.

Goddamn, put a spoiler warning before posting stuff like that!!! Not sure I’ll even bother watching S5 now.

I find the witcher quite easy watching stuff, it’s not trying to win awards or be extremely complex, it’s just a series that’s built around dungeons and dragons stuff without too much thought, compared to the wheel of time, it’s way easier to watch, follow and care about!

Shadow and Bone on netflix is similar in being easy to watch, but is a bit watered down, i’m struggling to buy into many series just now, all the online stuff does seem to be a bit hit and miss these days, i think they panicked a bit after a few failures and now have a bit too much oversight now on a lot of it, or are trying to hit all the audiences all the time, which is just a recipe for disaster!

Parasite is up on Channel 4, for fans of Grand Designs / ramen.

Not Netflix, but Prime…

Very, very funny.

Ep 1 sets the scene and isn’t that comedic, but stick with it. Very, very funny thereafter.

NowTV just got The Suicide Squad and have Mass, A Quiet Place Part II and Nobody coming January so I’m going to let my half price subscription roll over another month.

after thinking we’ll watch ‘dont look up’ ^^^, i mistakenly selected ‘this way up’.

what a pleasant surprise, really enjoyed it. 1 series on netflix, the other on all4 or iplayer, cant remember now. all about an Irish lass suffering with low self-esteem and her relationships with family and boyfriends. its funny, and really well written and acted.

i recommend it.

Death to 2021 now on Netflix, Brooker on form again

watched Don’t Look Up” really enjoyed it, bit heavy handed, but fun.

Death to 2021 now on Netflix, Brooker on form again

It’s good! Can’t see Brooker in the credits though

His name appears three times 🙂

Death to 2021 isn’t funny,  just seems to be an advert for other Netflix shows?
