I think I'm going to give Altered Carbon a go first.

Big list with great stuff...that one, not so much.

 

[El Floppo]

Went fishing for suggestions on Facebook and came up with the following, in no particular order:

The Expanse (multiple recommendations)

Ozark (multiple recommendations)

Russian Doll

Peaky Blinders (multiple recommendations)

Good Omens (multiple recommendations)

Messiah (multiple recommendations)

The Magicians

Patriot

These are the ones I'd recommend. Haven't seen a few of the ones I deleted.

I remember enjoying that in a kind of dumb action movie way, but if you thought Witcher was a mess, good luck with that one.

Ouch, maybe I'll try The Expanse first.

Not sure if this thread has expanded to all streaming services, but I don’t think the Expanse is on Netflix.

Yeah I asked a couple pages back if we were talking just Netflix or all streaming outlets and the response was that it had become all-encompassing.  My apologies if that's not actually the case.

 

[TripItUp]

I think the thread has expanded to all streaming services...I also think there is confusion with the new movies thread since now many "new movies" are of the streaming variety.

I blame Maurile Tremblay.

 

[Juxtatarot]

Yea I was going to skip season 2 because I thought 1 told a perfect arc and 2 wasn’t necessary. But I guess I should go for it? 

Season 2 is very good.

Good choice.

Fwiw, peaky blinders is probably the easiest to appreciate from the giddy-up. Expanse took me a couple tries before I found the groove with it.

Tonight will be my third evening trying to get through the first episode of the Expanse, but I hear good things so I’ll keep plugging away.

I'd almost say to just power through the first couple and not worry too much about following exactly what's going on. They throw everything out there immediately and then circle back and around through the season so it all makes sense.

All encompassing.

We haven't talked about how brilliant Bojack horseman is in a few days...it's brilliant. And should go on your list at the tippy top.

The Departed - I hadn't watched this in years, what a great flick. 

Criminal Minds - We're on Season 5 and just love the show.  Certainly, a recurring theme every week, but quite entertaining. 

 

[shadyridr]

I gave up 5 minutes into the expanse lol

Holy ####- people watch movies in this thread?

You people are odd.

I hardly ever bother with Hulu for whatever reason, but added a couple things to try.  

Got through a couple episodes of Killing Eve, and I am really liking this so far.   Interesting premise, and I am oddly drawn to the psycho assassin.

Killing Eve is great, but yeah, Hulu pretty much sucks. I suspended ours

Subtitles are a must though. I gave up 2 episodes in without them.  After a second go ( because of the advice here) with subtitles I got hooked and blew through 4 seasons in a few nights.  Great show.  

 

[KarmaPolice]

I started it for Handmaid's.  

Added Eve, Castle Rock, Homeland, 12 Monkeys, and I think The Terror to the queue.  

I would probably watch Buffy over and over if not for the non-HD and format annoyance.  

 

[dkp993]

Narcos Mexico season 2 comes out mid Feb.  Looking forward to it as season 1 was great.

nice, had no idea...really enjoyed season 1 as well.

 

[Juxtatarot]

I liked the French animated film I Lost My Body. However, part of the plot is about a severed hand roaming around town to find its body.  If that sounds too weird maybe you should skip it.

Doesn't sound weird at all.

Wife and I started watching Good Girls.  Very funny.  Definitely worth the time.

You’re The Worst was good

 

[shuke]

Watching "Ozark" now. Its kinda meh. Interesting story, but nowhere near the intensity of a show like Breaking Bad. 

Most shows are "meh" compared to BB.

Most would laugh at me but I enjoyed Banshee. 

Jack Ryan season 1 was enjoyable. 

Peaky blinders excellent 

Thought good omens was terrible.

Ozark is fun. 

Altered carbon decent 

Never could get into Russian doll.

Just started the expanse. Going to give it some time.

I watched "I Lost My Body" tonight too.  I liked it a lot as well -- story is pretty captivating and original, and loved the score. Definitely has some of the French-style elements to it that are probably not for everyone.

 

[Dan Lambskin]

You’re The Worst was good

Love that show, I watched it when it aired on FX though 

 

[Arizona Ron]

Watching The Expanse - it's really good.  Hardcore halfway through second season. 

 

[ericttspikes]

One of my favorite sci-fi shows. I didn't think season 4 lived up to the previous 3, but really glad Amazon picked it up and are making more shows.

 

[mr. furley]

The Lost Unabomber Tapes on Reelz is a 4-hour, 2-part series that is totally worth the watch. fascinating.

 

[bicycle_seat_sniffer]

yeah I had a thing for that kinda chubby chic.....

 

[EYLive]

Marriage Story should have been called Divorce Story. I can't believe I didn't fall asleep halfway through.

 

[El Floppo]

For fans of Catastrophe, Rob Delaney's Jackie standup show on Amazon is basically that.

 

[JB Breakfast Club]

One week until the final Bojack episodes. 

Drank a lot of bourbon.

Did a lot of crying.

A masterpiece of a show is completed.

In terms of sadness how many crying emojis is it

I love that HBO Max will feature a curated list of classic film titles, refreshed each month by the folks at Turner Classic Movies; it’s not quite FilmStruck, but close enough.

I was just reading an article about HBO Max, and I didn't know this was a feature.   I will for sure be on day 1.

I'm probably the only one...but every time somebody posts in a color like that, I can't read it. The album draft was inscrutable for me.

Sorry - just wanted to indicate for sure that I was copy and pasting from an article.  

ETA:  and I guess it will have all the Studio Ghibli films too.

Watched the documentary Dear Zachary on Prime. Stunning. Jaw dropping. Heart wrenching.
