    Personally I'm pretty disappointed with the recent Netflix Originals. F Is For Family is absolutely awful imo, I just couldn't tolerate the art style.

    It was bound to happen, the more they put out the more chance of something not working.

    I haven't even tried to watch the Full House thing but it seemed like a really odd choice for them.

    I really dislike laughing tracks as a rule (the only exception I can think of is Sabrina & The Teenager Witch which I loved when I was younger) but Full House just takes the piss. American humour, very unfunny. Maybe people who watched the original will enjoy the nostalgia, who knows?

    I'm looking forward to the new OITNB, Kimmy Schmidt and Sense8 coming out though Sense8 won't be until next year I think.

    Also, Netflix Canada have episodes of The 100 which come out as soon as they air there which is good, the Irish Netflix only has the first series.

    It was the main reason I keep hoping my passport doesn't get revoked, at least not for the next 2 to 3 months :D

    Thought F is for Family was brilliant, really grew on me over the course of the 6 episodes.

    Not much comment on House of Cards, Season 4....... Three episodes in, very impressed so far!

    Five episodes in, finding it fairly disjointed myself.

    Yeah it most have been.

    If you're "in" Canada, they have all 3 of them right up to the most recent episode.

    I think there are 2 left before it's over, due 1 Apr and 8 Apr.

    There are 16 episodes for S3 and we've only had about 8, I think, maybe 9. There's definitely more than 2 left anyway.

    I see the TV show Comedy Bang! Bang! is coming to UK Netflix - in general does that mean it will be added to the Irish version soon?

    Funniest thing I've seen in ages. It's brilliant.

    Victoria has been added to USA netflix.

    Basically a Madrid girl in Berlin meets 4 guys when clubbing and somehow she ends up getting involved in a (not really spoiler, but never can be too safe)
    robbery as she agrees to be a getaway driver as a local gangster demands one of the guys repays a debt he owes that actual night

    Its really stylish and quite thrilling while also heartbreaking as well. Its also shot in a single take as well.

    reviews
    http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/771419752/

    It got 5 stars from the Guardian.

    Not keen on linking the trailer, yep the trailer is stylish as hell like the film, but on reflection, it reveals to much for my liking.

    Watched a documentary called Back in Time which is about Back to the Future and how its legacy has endured.

    One of the interesting aspects is how Director Zemeckis and Producer Spielberg collaborated on a family movie that involved the mother trying it on with her son and the difficulties they had in getting a studio to finance it.

    Another nugget mentioned in the documentary was the discarded Spielberg idea where Marty McFly takes shelter from an atomic blast by hiding in a lead lined fridge. The idea was subsequently recycled by Spielberg in one of his later movies and became an 'iconic' scene much debated by fans ever since !!

    I think you must have imagined this. No such movie exists.

    I've had this documentary on my list for a while, this is the first time I've ever seen/heard anyone talk about it though.

    Lead lined fridge in Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull. Lucas claimed idea I think, but it definitely exists. Unless you refuse to recognise that film was ever made, which in that case you're probably a happier man than me and I salute you and you are indeed correct, it doesn't exist.

    Common misconception, doesn't exist. Let's nip that idea in the bud.

    Yep. Disney passed on BTTF because of the implied incest. It was only later that the line "OMG it feels like kissing my brother!" was added to solve that little problem. The DVD documentaries are better.


    The other posters are just kidding on about the Indiana Jones nuke-fridge scene - Indiana Jones/Spiepberg/Lucas fanboys like to pretend that their bad ideas never happened.

    I might have enjoyed the Indiana Jones movies when I was a young lad but there's no way I'd class myself as a fanboy of any of those three. Saying that, I would also like to live in a world where a film, about a middle aged man saving himself from a nuclear blast by hiding in a fridge, didn't exist. Thankfully, I do.

    Actually just watching Eraser on Netflix and fridges are actually the best shield known to man. Defends against all sorts of super weapons, though sadly not that portable.

    Watched some of Flaked so far and liked it for the record. Very tight cast of characters with some flaws and mildy amusing. Like Love and Master of None which i enjoyed while not being blown away by.

    Jaysus, Looks like Netflix UK Ireland has had what Thrones fans might refer to as a TED Wedding. (Basically a lot of Ted talks have been killed off the service)

    Movie releases very poor this month so it's good to see we are getting some decent shows. Looking forward to Bloodline season 2 next month.

    Myself and the wife are loving Netflix...she wasn't sold on it originally buy recently she's been finding stuff that is recommended to her that she really likes. We have a smart TV now too and it makes it so easy to access stuff.

    Better Call Saul
    House of Cards
    Daredevil
    Jessica Jones
    So, so much more

    Haven't seen it mentioned in a while but I'm really loving The League, a comedy based around a group in an American fantasy football league, but it's not about the football, just their general madness.
