Man, I came into this thread with hope, but none of this stuff does it for me. I have tried every show ticked off above and they’re either dull or just not my thing. Peaky Blinders maybe but last season was kinda weak.  
I may cancel Netflix.  I can only watch Caddyshack so many times. 
Go back to CSPAN

  • Here it is, in short. I would need to cross check some things to make sure it is all correct, but this is the story in brief: Some time in March, 1944, the 45th was moving into Germany in near co

Grand Designs - Season 10 and 11 dropped. 

This show, and the host, are great. I want him to narrate the world. 

i love that show, find anything else close to it out there?

I just finished The Chef Show. Really enjoyed it and thought it was really well done. The last two episodes of the series were done with Aaron Franklin, which were pretty interesting. I never saw the movie, so I’m going to go back and watch it.

really want them to get a second season, it is a great/easy concept and i like the chemistry that Roy Choi and Favreau have together. 

I'm going to keep coming here and hyping Money Heist. It's a great two season caper film with great characters and cast. I think it's the best thing I've seen in the last two years.

It's a Spanish Film.

Sooooo boring.  The lead is as interesting as a cardboard box and shows about half the range.

I’m the only person who feels like the celebrity guests are just grudgingly fulfilling some contractual obligation?  Like they are counting the minutes. 

man Dark is interesting. i just started it, I think on episode 4 in S1

great use of music, imagery and cinematography. 

sounds like it gets cray. looking forward to it.

What about Godless (Jeff Daniels western)?

Stranger Things and I have a few complaints.

That was good, but I watched it a year ago or so it seems like. 

And on Mindhunter, I prefer my "cop" shows more like Justified, or even Banshee.  Less like Ken Burns and PBS.

Have you tried Broadchurch, The Night Manager, or Sherlock?  Those are all excellent and I think still available on Netflix.

Seen all three, unfortunately.  All definitely worth watching. 

That's kind of my point - all the recent Netflix stuff seems to be a step down from the older stuff - especially the older stuff they recycled from elsewhere.  Even this season of Seinfeld's show was kinda weak.

I find myself watching Jackie Brown, Layer Cake and the American and wondering why I pay $17/mo all in for that.  Certainly not for the Perfection, Triple Frontier or the Otherhood.

But thanks for the help.

We're currently working our way through Fleabag (I know Amazon Prime not Netflix), and while it's very different from the prior suggestions it's pretty entertaining.  If you have access to BBC America you might check out Killing Eve, which is pretty good too (and has its own thread here).  Season 1 might be on Netflix (but I haven't checked TBH).

Yep.  Watching Fleabag.  Saw Killing Eve (first season was great but second was shaky IMO). 

Prime seems to provide a lot less total content (both new and old), but lately I find their original programming to be quite a step above Netflix.  

Rocky III on Netflix Hell yeah

Solid.

"Derry Girls" - Set in the 90s in Derry, Ireland.  Pretty funny, some of the accents can be hard to follow but is a good show.

I finished the second season last night. The episode where Erin's mom cursed Bridie was my favorite.

All of them that I can think of - Seven, Fight Club, Benjamin Button, Social Network, Moneyball.  Liked Studio60. Even kinda liked Newsroom.

Mindhunter feels like one of those re-enactment documentaries.  I keep waiting for the little side narration from some professor in front of a green screen.

“The Family” - New five episode docuseries dropped today. Based on the book of the same name, it focuses on “The Family” or “The Fellowship”. The group behind the annual National Prayer Breakfast. A very behind the scenes organization that has the mission of “Bringing Christians to leadership and bringing leaders to Christ”.

I’ve been waiting for ages for this and I just finished all the episodes. Very well done. Also very scary.

Get a room guys.

New season of Glow was average.

watching The Imitation Game right now. netflix says this movie received 8 Oscar nominations, including a win for best adapted screenplay. i'm about 2/3 of the way through it is completely unremarkable. it reminds me of pretty much every hollywood movie i ever see. it's bland, it's predictable, and it eschews realism for that patented hollywood feel that i hate so much. i just don't understand what people see in these movies. 

also the female lead's wig is so obviously a wig that i can't stop noticing it. 

oh, and this benedict cumberbatch guy is pretty hard to take. like he's doing a hugh grant impression in every scene.

Cumberbatch blows...now all the superhero fans will come nerd on me

 

The attraction of The Imitation Game is that it's topical, given Turing's contribution to computing, and also politically topical in that he was a gay man that ultimately was horribly abused by the British government.

Cumberbatch is a really good actor. In no way is he comparable to Hugh Grant 

That was the first time i've ever seen a movie with him in it, and here is who he was in The Imitation Game:

33% Hugh Grant

33% Sheldon from Big Bang Theory

33% Season 1 Abed Nadir

does that sound appealing?

designated survivor - i enjoyed all 3 seasons 

I did too, but that season 3 threw me for a loop when they started saying fuck and had gay man sex that was kind of graphic. I hadn't realized ABC cancelled it and Netflix took it over for a season. 

Late to the show but Lucifer is fantastic.  There are some great one liners.
