Netflix Recommendations Thread 3.0

I watched the first episode of SUPACELL.

It is really good.

There are a few characters (Tazor and his gang, and other “yutes”) that I couldn’t understand at all because of the accents and slang.

Subtitles kept appearing randomly even though the option was OFF. I would go to English SDH and back to OFF and they’d stop showing however where ever a song was playing in the background they’d turn back on. Captions were also appearing whenever there was a sign.

Just finished Ripley, absolutely superb TV

Totally disagree with you but I know it's very much an acquired taste with how it was made. I thought the black and white worked very well. Completely separate from the movie so no point in comparing them. Thought Ripley was charming when he needed to be but you knew the nastiness was simmering underneath and the tension built up to boiling point in the last episode

No problem with a filmmaker taking a totally different approach to the same material but, by making Ripley a dark, menacing figure (especially in the introductory scenes in NY) , this version loses the charm, the tension and the intrigue. Why would Dickie and Marge befriend this creepy guy (don't they see through this phony)? Why would we be interested in his plot to replace Dickie? Surely we just want him caught and dealt with quickly.

I don't think Hollywood today could make a movie that combines the menace and charm of The Talented Mr. Ripley.

Gave up after 15 minutes

just finished latest season of Tour de France

Excellent again. Make sure to set language to French with subtitles

Delighted to see a new American football series pop up called Receiver. That’s next up

Might also watch “Sprint “- anyone watched it yet?

Sprint takes a little while to get going but the last 2 episodes at the World championships are very good

The Boyfriend is Japan's first same sex dating reality show, I am two episodes in and a bit obsessed already.

Also the music is right up my street.

Not sure if it works if you’re not but if you’re married and middle-aged, Boomers has some good funny moments.

New season of The Dragon Prince out today. Really enjoy this series so always happy to see new episodes. Can be really dark in places.

On episode 6 and looking at the title of the next episode

it can only mean it's a nice happy occasion, right?

I'm sold

In part because of the music choice 🤣

Normally I'm weary of the "here's a song you know slowed down" trope, but Disarm is a hell of a tune

Just finished it. It is great stuff. Great set of characters and a great cast.

Season 2 hasn’t been confirmed yet but Rapman has a three seasons planned in total.

The Beautiful Game was an easy Sunday morning watch. Fairly predictable apart from the shock of seeing Nidge in goals for England :D

This would would been perfect casting for a live action Lara Croft at one time however we just have to settle for the voice of Hayley Atwell as Lara now.

Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft. Drops October 10th.

Missed Lost when it was on the tellybox. Never realised it’s a JJ Abrahms show. Sucked in, hook, line and sinker. 😎

Per my avatar, was a big fan back in the day.

May give it a rewatch but think it was solid for 3 - 4 years.

Even in it's later years - when it was good, it was VERY good (e.g The Constant, Through The Looking Glass etc).

But the final year or two was pretty much unwatchable.

I wouldn't there is many people that watched Lost a 2nd time.

Watching the Laci Petersen American murder series.

Two episodes done, one to go.

It's ok, fairly watchable.

The usual Netflix murder production.
