Netflix Recommendations Thread 3.0

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.

All I can say is.. it was interesting for a couple of seasons but the signs were still there early on and I should've paid more attention to them.

I wish I had never started it;) One episode a week on I think a Monday night on network/rte 2.

I suppose you're right to a certain extent, I think I've only watched The Wire, Sopranos, Sons of Anarchy, Breaking bad, Love Hate and a few UK mini series a 2nd time.

But do Gloom there a solid and give your honest opinion about Lost.

For lovers of long form tv, and those of us who have never taken to David Lynch, Lost rather than Twin Peaks was seminal in the ‘puzzle box’ style of hooking and maintaining interest. I binge-watched Lost in between seasons 2 and 3 of The Leftovers, on the strength of knowing it shared the same writer of a such a quasi-seminal show - fully aware of the caveats of its marmite attraction and dodgy/corny unsatisfactory ending. The overall length of Lost is off-putting as a major time investment, as well as its known caveats, but for lovers of the ‘puzzle box’ style, I’d recommend a binge-watch if you’re on a sickie, or even if you don’t mind binge-watching on a dipping in and out schedule.

Also of note is the fact that at the time of airing in 2004, the debut episode was the one of the most expensive television episodes ever produced. 20 years on, it’s been surpassed obviously, but it made a big splash (pun intended) at the time.
