I had been putting off Hillbilly Eligy for a while as the reviews seemed to be pretty poor. I thought it was fine when I watched it last night though - I don't see why the reviews were so poor. It's not amazing or anything, it's grand.

Well it’s sympathetic to the hillbillies. That’s why.

I watched it with the family over the weekend and we all had good fun watching it.

You have got to be kidding it was rubbish, probably one of the worst things I have endured on Netflix since I started using them!

Could do with a good detective/crime show being added . Had a look for Happy Valley as it was recommended when I mentioned Unforgotten. Seems to be gone though .
Slim pickings on Disney (Star) as well.

I’ve ended up sticking with Superstore as a light watch . End of season 2 and really enjoying it

Community fell off a cliff on season 2. A lot of stupid pointless episodes . May go back at some stage but not sure .

Think Hinterland is still on it - set in Wales

Slow paced like Unforgotten but a good bit more miserable

If you didn't like community season 2 I wouldn't waste your time going back as it's probably the best season.

Don't care really that other people think I'm kidding, all that matters to me is that we had fun watching it. And that's they way it should be.

I don't understand why people get so forceful when someone enjoys something they don't like, in any aspects of life.

The stupid pointless episodes are what makes it so good. I wouldn't bother if you're not enjoying it.

Yeah, dunno how we decided what we liked before the internet

I use to go out on the street and shout out the name of the film I was watching and then based whether I liked it or not on what people shouted back at me. Having your own opinion on something is just wrong.

I wonder if Martin Scorsese liked Thunder Force?

I bet he wishes he put a Jodie Foster skit in the Irishman after seeing it in Thunder Force.

My wife and I have watched all 3 in the last week. Great movies and no. 3 is the best. Little action, great script and brilliant acting. It's s great recommendation

I am not always on here, but, I have to say, the recommendations on this thread are brilliant when I need to find something decent to watch.

I did not know these movies were on Netflix.

Watching Page 8 now, and delighted there's two more.. thanks to you both.

In the name of the father is still as good as when I saw it as a teenager.

Also loving masterchef and masterchef professionals.

Going to watch the art heist documentary later as I have heard it’s amazing.

Watched Run with Sarah Paulson - a nice 90 mins, and a decent psychological thriller. Well worth a go.

Also watched (or attempted to) Thunder Force with Melissa McCarthy and Octavia Spencer. This was terrible - both my wife and I looked at each other at the Jason Bateman scene, and turned it off. Spencer phoned it in, the movie didn't know if it wanted to be serious, or a comedy, or whatever. Horrible movie.

Watched Thunderforce last night. Well, it's a 1 hour 47 minute movie. Save yourself 50 minutes (that was all I could last) and don't watch it. One of the only times I couldn't actually put up with a movie any longer

This exactly!

Yeah, it's a good movie. Low budget, but the FX work with the monsters is often incredible. While the human characters are sweet without seeming either too idiotic or excessively sentimental.
