Netflix Recommendations Thread 3.0

I was enjoying the Beckham documentary up until the affair part. I obviously didn't expect it to get into graphic details about the affair. But it just completely glossed over it. As if the documentary was too privilaged to discuss such issues. It lost any ability for me to take the documentary serious at that point. It was entertaining overall all, but it was essentially made up to put David Beckham up on a pedastal - not to portray the real life of David Beckham.

Losing battle pal, I asked this year's ago but hit a brick wall.

You just have to except it for what it is and get on with it unfortunately.

Run a google search on 'Best Movies on Netflix Right Now' = there is a small industry of journalists working on it. Anyway, I'll shut up about it now, consensus sees it the other way so fair is fair.

Was wondering why Sweet Home was showing up on the front page for the past week. Turns out season 2 is out tomorrow.

Whiplash was added recently and I'll be having some of that.

Loving squid games especially the tasks that were in the series though I think the contestants were given too much power

when it came to eliminations and some good people got voted off though a lot of unpopular/two faced people got voted off too which

was great to watch.

I think maybe once or twice would have been enough and I don't think anyone one contestant should get to

vote off three people.

The bridge was fantastic to watch also, also glad there was no tug o war, would have been completely one sided with one team full of strong lads, really blew up in their face when the game turned out to be one of pot luck.

Thanks for the recommendation on One Piece.

I'd have totally skipped it from the trailer/synopsis but I'm three episodes in and really enjoying it. I have zero knowledge of the original material so I've no idea how true to it this is but the style and general slight wackiness is really enjoyable, the lead actor is great, looking forward to seeing it develop

I see from a quick read that there's a ton of original material and it's been renewed for another season, hopefully it could grow into something really great

edit: wrong thread !!

I remember watching virgin river a few years ago and then stopped because it was getting too sappy and falling into the troupes it had previously stayed away from. Any honestly the three seasons I saw it felt like it was tearing the arse out of the story. Anyway I see it’s now gotten six seasons. The mind boggles.

I was transfixed by his dark ear hair. why wasn't this mentioned.

Came here to mention this too . Good lord, he was some egotistical chancer . Truly playing with people's lives.

I didn't like the ex fiance being the narrator tbh .

On another note, watched Escaping The Twin Flames too . Once again it shows how people who are looking for something different, spiritually wise, can be sucked into a cult . Crazy .

I thought it was one of the better docs I've seen on him . Harrowing for all involved indeed . The sheer gall of him , having so many bodies under his house. He would never have stopped imo .

Blue Eyed Samurai renewed for Season 2 👍

Netflix have released a report with the shows with the most hours viewed for the first half of the year

https://about.netflix.com/en/news/what-we-watched-a-netflix-engagement-report

It's an excel file in that link.

The Night Agent had the most hours watched.

Of course it's a bit hard to judge the most popular unless they factor in episode count and length.

Like 1000 people watching a 10 episode season will obviously have more hours than 1000 people watching an 8 episode season. But if the 10 episode season had 30 min episodes compared to 8 hour long episodes then the results will favour the 8 episode season, even if audience numbers varied like 1400 to 1000 people.

Then movies would struggle to make the list. Extraction 2 is the only movie in the top 30.
