Had knee surgery and can only spend so much time doing other things. I think it’s about time there’s a real thread for Netflix. The thought “I need a new show” can be solved right here. What’s on your list?

Narcos
Sons of Anarchy
Peaky Blinders
Godless
Stranger Things
The Last Kingdom
Black Mirror
Sherlock
Portlandia

And of course...
The Office
Parks & Rec
Arrested Development
How I Met Your Mother

I though that show sucked. I know I'm one of like 5 people on the earth who think that, but I feel it.

Acting was great, cinematography was solid, but the writing was shit.

Great concept, horrible execution

The film a futile and stupid gesture just got put on there and is really interesting, its about the transition of comedy in the 70's. Also mindhunter is insanely good.

Big Mouth is pretty funny.

The End of the Fucking World is messed up but I think that's what makes it so great.



Beauty and the Beast is also on Netflix. WATCH IT.

I completely agree with this. I couldn't make it through the first season, which surprised me because of how much hype it had.

I made it to somewhere in season 3, maybe even the end. It was just getting worse. I was fine with overlooking stuff but the story got less and less believable and the plot in general just went meh. Somebody had it on at their house for the final episode so I saw that while waiting for a poker game. I feel like I have no need to watch anything else now, if I even did.

My only real thought is that Netflix has gone full HBO and I feel like they have Black Mirror to owe for some shit

Would definitely recommend master of none. I couldn’t get enough of it. Stranger Things is a super high quality show and White Collar is a good crime show with humor. Psych was top 3 but they took it off :(

Atlanta is on hulu, definitely worth watching.

Babylon Berlin has been really good so far on Netflix. It's German show set between the world wars about a vice detective.

Dude, so brutal, I'm bummed. Same with futurama, its gone now too.

Just started end of the fucking world, its great so far. Tried longmire, couldn't handle the bad acting. Tried peaky blinders, but didnt get into it, im gonna try again though.

Black Mirror is hit or miss, but when it hits is really good. Californiacation is great if you haven't watched it, Better Call Saul also a great show.

I got through a few seasons of it pretty seriously and then I just lost focus on it. Definitely a bad ass show.

The Wes Anderson film Life Aquatic is a quirky, underrated, potentially overrated movie that is certainly worth a watch. It's borderline cutesy-artsy, but it redeems itself to discerning viewers.

Sense8!!! It’s such an awesome concept. It’s about these 8 people from all over the world that can experience each other’s lives telepathically. Totally worth watching.

The OA is pretty cool too, it’s one season and it’s pretty much just like one big movie

I thought they did a good job on Bright
The Titan could've been good but ended up weird as hell
Seven Seconds was good
Game Over, Man was the stupid kind of funny with cheesy bad guys but I love the Workaholics boys
The Cloverfield Paradox was good
