[TV] Netflix - What's good to watch?

[gripper stebson]

Couple of really good Scandi drama series for those who can deal with subtitles/dubbed voices.

Nearly Normal Family and Quicksand.

If you love music, the history of some of the most iconic music albums and photography check out Squaring the Circle (The Story of Hipgnosis) a documentary about Storm Thorgerson and Aubrey 'Po' Powell

I've just watched the reality Squid Game series. Watched the first episode out of curiousity but didn't take much to get drawn in and really enjoyed it.

I was however irrationally annoyed that in the second-last round and after having got all that way, one of the final 3 competitors disregarded laws of probability and gave themself a 50/50 chance of elimination instead of of giving themself a 75/25 chance of progession. You'll know what I mean when you watch it.

Totally agree - a cracking documentary. Hipgnosis had extremely high standards when it came to images, and thus many of the iconic covers over the years were courtesy of Storm, Po, and co.

Just finished bodies still not sure what’s going on tbh. Steven Grahams character didn’t make any sense in parts.

I enjoyed it, but I thought the last episode and the comeuppance didn't do the series justice.

Spoiler: Spoiler

and what was the bit with the future copper at the very end in the current timeline? She hadn't aged so must have figured out time travel back from the 1800's!

Oh and the ability to heal her spine

I enjoyed it too.

I guess you missed the big letters on the skyscraper in the background during the taxi scene. Cliffhanger in case the series gets renewed

I noticed that and the spine tech girl was her uber driver.

No i did but forgot to mention, but what does it mean? Or like you say, they'll attempt to explain that in the next series if it ever gets renewed.

Yeah, everything was nearly tied up so they've left a few crumbs of mystery for the next season.

 

[Pondicherry]

The new series of Fargo is excellent as always (Prime not Netflix).

 

[Pevenseagull]

'Rebel Moon' isn't.

Goodness knows how much they spent on it.

'Battle beyond the stars' is better ... And shorter.

 

[Pondicherry]

Saltburn on Prime is also excellent. Only just released. Some Billy Elliot at the end.

The final few episodes were trash, they could have found some basic skill based games to find a winner rather than just having two final games of chance.

We really enjoyed Rebel Moon.

Battle Beyond the Stars is now on the list as haven’t seen that.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Enjoyed 'Sisu'.

Near the end of WW2 an ageing Finnish gold prospector has his find confiscated by some Nazis. So he kills them and then sets off to kill lots more.

90minutes. Very, very violent.


(A lot shorter than John Wick 4)

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

Enjoying The Golden Hour, the suspenseful Dutch police/terrorist six-parter

Watched the last episode last night. Very good, but a lot remains unexplained. Will have to wait for the next series.

 

[dolphins]

Rebel Moon etc etc Part 1 - on the whole looks great (apart from the odd bit of shaky CGI) but the $166 million clearly wasn't spent on the storyline/writing. Found it very dull. Not holding my breath for the (two! Including an R-rated version) Director's Cuts or indeed part two.

 

[Berty23]

Rewatched the first two series of slow horses on Apple TV over Xmas. Looking forward to series 3. Gary oldman’s character is absolutely fantastic.

 

[Lyndhurst 14]

Halfway through Bodies and really enjoying it - thought the segments set in the future are the weakest which I think is down to the actors

 

[vegster]

Watched Tenet on Netflix over crimbo, amazingly confusing but great fun...its like a slightly simplified Inception.
