So I got a netflix trial today thinking El Marginal and Anime Nere were on there, but I guess they have been taken off.

Any decent foreign series to recommend? Ive seen the usual suspects such as narcos, suburrah and gomorrah

There's a Spanish show called Money Heist. It's trash but good fun. I watched it when we were all snowed in earlier this year.

La Mante and La Foret

Thanks - had had La Mante recommended to me before, but I forgot about it completely! I'll get stuck into that after my exams.

Thanks folks, my trial won't be wasted!

When I search for El Marginal, nothing comes up. I signed up from a location in Greece, Im guessing that's the issue? Don't see any way to change it in the settings.

Edit: spoke to customer service. Netflix Greece is not fun at all.

The contents depends on your current location so signing up in Greece shouldn't matter, unless you happen to still be in Greece of course!

There's no changing location etc, Netflix will default to your current country's content.

El Marginal is there...


I enjoyed 'Fauda' and 'Dark' recently, both being very different shows.

Dark is excellent. Real hidden gem. Series 2 is due to land August 2019 afaik. Can't wait.

Cocaine Coast is very good, essentially the Spanish version of Narcos

November 13. It's a 3 episode series about the terror attacks in Paris. Really sad, but interesting

Thought they changed that recently so that you access your home country's content no matter where you are

Ronnie Coleman: The King is a good documentary I though.

Negative. You can only get what’s what at your physical location according to their staff today. Makes sense thinking about distribution rights etc

This thread seems to recommend a lot of new additions, which is great but I'm going to recommend something I watched about two years ago and watched again recently : A Most Violent Year

In 1981 New York, a fuel supplier (Oscar Isaac) tries to adhere to his own moral compass amid the rampant violence, corruption and decay that threaten his family and his business.

Bit of a slow burner but a very unique type of film I felt, great acting from Oscar Isaac who's one of my favourites these days. Not too long at just over 2 hours. Really good stuff, even after watching the second time it still had a lot of rewatch ability.

It's a little more complex though. So sure if you signed up in Ireland, whilst living there, you have the Irish catalogue. Then if you went on holidays around Europe, you'd still have the Irish catalogue. But if you stay in a country for a while, you end up with their catalogue. It's only designed to let you see your home content when travelling - you're not entitled to it permanently if you move.

From their own help page:

For countries within the European Union, we provide the same content as your home country for a limited period of time. We'll let you know when the limited period is over, and you'll have access to the TV shows and movies for the country you are travelling to. When this happens, we’ll be sure to let you know.

I think the time is a few weeks at most.

Can't understand how in this day and age the EU isn't just all one market for this stuff. We'd be a bigger market than the US then and surely get all the content without this VPN carry-on

It's simply because of licensing. We don't have a single broadcaster in the EU so there's loads of individual agreements with different European stations with content producers who will want to maximise the revenue stream of their product.

Loving The Final Table at the moment. It's a cooking show where some of the best chefs in the world battle it out, taking on foods from different countries and trying to impress judges from those countries. The weakest team is eliminated each time.

Really great and underrated movie. Freeman was truly excellent.
A very nice twist on the zombie genre.

Especially considering it's still on regular TV about 8 times a day and has been since it's original run finished.

Watched Girlfriend's Day there, can't say I'd recommend it but I would like to know if anyone else has seen it.

Bob Odenkirk as a card writer with writer's block, it soon becomes a weird Lebowski-esque tale as a competition is launched to write a Girlfriend's Day card and it is soooo random.

I wouldn't be in a mad hurry to see it again, but I quite enjoyed it at the time.

Ardillaun

I enjoyed both the orginal Narcos and the new Narcos Mexico. The narration by DEA agent Murphy was a bit clunky at times but several features combine to give it an authentic feel - local news footage (the actors are well matched in appearance to the people they portray), scenes filmed on location and lots of Spanish dialogue. One is left with a strong impression of the utter futility of the drug war.

I watched it when it came out first (I think around Valentine's Day?) and loved it. I really like Bob Odenkirk so will give anything with him in it a go, but I really really enjoyed it.

Thought it was very original, and very well made. Plus, it's only about an hour long IIRC?

FunLover18

About A Boy is one my absolute favourite films. Great soundtrack too.

Balto is also a favourite from my childhood, I love the character design.

tigger123

Watched the first episode of 1983 last night and thought it was very good. It's an alt history thriller set in Warsaw where the iron curtain never came down. Would (vaguely) put you in the mind of Fatherland. It's about a terrorist organisation and a detective investigating them.

It's in polish and dubbed in English if you want, but as always you're better off watching it subtitled.

Isn't it a prequel to 1984?

Nope. George Orwell's novel is mentioned briefly in it though.

Watched Christmas Chronicles. No kids to use as an excuse here.

Really enjoyed it. A nice fun movie. I've seen it compared to the original Adventures in Babysitting, which I also liked. I do see the similarities.

No Thor though

Though if the clock on the camera is correct, surprised Santa hasn't been seen more often at that time

Just watched The Ballad of Buster Scruggs. I'm a fan of the Coen Brothers and all their quirkiness, so give it a thumbs up. I always find myself pondering life after their films and this one was no different.
