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

[LamieRobertson]

Watching 1883 - which is set in 1883 unsurprisingly. It's the same family (The Duttons) and tells the story about how they came to Montana. So far, 4 episodes in, there just a LOT of wagons rolling over rough contryside and people dying of disease, fights, bandits, injuns etc. Very enjoyable.

It also has the rather good actor, Isabel May

Comedy?

Saw the first episode of American Primeval, lots of blood and gore, some poor woman got an arrow straight through the head. No more for me.

It gets a whole lot graphic...

I cancel my Netflix membership for 6 months or so each year then restart it for a few months to catch up on things I want to watch. Saves me a lot in subscription fees! Just started watching Departure.

Watched The Six Triple Eight yesterday which is excellent.

Toxic Town.

 

[Richy_Seagull]

Adolescence is fantastic.

Wondering what your thoughts are?

First episode I was taken aback and left with a state of wow I need to watch these all back to back straight away.

Second episode I’ve just finished watching and that felt like it dragged even though it was 15 mins shorter in runtime - didn’t really add anything to the story so far, and was a huge disappointment compared to the first episode.

Just about to start episode 3 so hopefully things improve from here

Exactly the way to use all streaming services I think.

All of them only have a few weeks of anything good on in total over a year.

I do the same.

What is with the obsession with filming all in one take?

It adds nought to a film / program.

Anyway, had to switch off Adolescence after the first 0.5 seconds as it had the very loud sound of someone biting and chomping an apple in the opening moments. Ugh.

Toxic Town.

Very good, really enjoyed watching

Adolescence is fantastic.

Excllent, going to check it out later. Love pretty much everything with Stephen Graham in, going back to Snatch.

Funnily enough, Adolescence is produced by Brad Pitt.

Adolescence is fantastic.

Started that last night. Got real potential…!

I got over the apple and watched it. Brilliant. The end was heartbreaking.
