    Ya I've seen it, It's a very interesting fairly orignal plot, don't think I've seen much like it which is rare these. The ending is very Marmite, but I'd say its definitely worth watching imo.

    I thought it was good, but very very similar to the oa.

    I'm over an hour into it(The Discovery) and it feels like 4 hours.

    Great cast of people mumbling incoherently about nonsense!!

    Not recommended.

    Do they solve their woes with interpretive dance?

    Sigh.

    How about we close this thread (which is getting rather big anyway) and start two new ones:

    - "Films on Netflix" in Films

    - "Netflix - Recommendations and recently added" in Online TV

    Would that satisfy everyone?

    Much better. Film talk in the film forum, TV talk in TV forums. Logical.

    It's​ trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist for the vast majority of regulars here.

    Thread has worked fine for years as is imo I wouldn't go changing it just to appease the occasional whining.

    Yea, I like that it's this way. If you want to make recommendations based on what is one Netflix or to give your general opinion, then everything should be here. Want to discuss the TV shows on Netflix in full? Go to the relevant Online TV thread. It's been this way for years and don't see why it should change.

    But the thing with netflix is that you watch film and shows on it. And one may lead to another if themes are similar, they have the same actors etc. Yeah you can make separate threads and post in the correct forum for each but the discussion works just fine logically here imo.

    Also to add, initially I was confused by the shows being discussed in a film thread but once I realised the thread had developed past its initial title I got over it, it's no biggie like.

    When people say leave it as it is, what do they mean? What does this thread currently cover? Because as a Netflix thread in the Films forum with film recommendations in the title I don't think Frank is being totally unreasonable to expect that we mostly discuss films here. Despite this, we've suggested before that cinematically relevant tv discussion is fine, but I get the impression a lot of people see this as an "all things Netflix" thread, which probably explains why people are still requesting a Netflix forum and pointing to this thread as evidence of the need for one.

    I'm not trying to be an ass or anything about this. My major problem is when a big new Netflix show is released, like Stranger Things, there is quite a lot of discussion in this thread, spoilers even, marked or otherwise, critic review links, etc. I would like to avoid that. I can avoid the shows' single thread in the Online TV forum, and could avoid a "Netflix - Recommendations and recently added" thread in that forum. However, when I'm looking for film recommendations, in a "Film Recommendations" thread, in the FILM forum, I shouldn't be coming across discussion of new TV series that I haven't watched yet.

    I don't think you ever see spoilers in this thread about any show or movie. People have been sensible enough not to throw them around without spoiler tags if they feel the need to discuss details.

    How hard do you find it not to click on external links?

    I started these two threads in the online forum the last time this was brought up.

    Online Film Recommendations Netflix, Amazon. Hulu etc.

    But I also agree that I don't find an issue with this thread as is.

    There's spoiler tags, yes, but then there's discussion between the spoilers, then a post about a different show, back to the new Netflix show, then a film recommendation, then more discussion and spoiler tags about the new Netflix show. It makes a mess of the thread.

    The review links are usually posted with small quotes from the review, or stuff like "The acting is good, but overall the show is a mess", I generally try to avoid that stuff if I plan to watch a hyped Netflix show.

    I was just going to say I'm sure someone started a thread in the TV section and nobody uses it.

    How about we leave this thread as it is and we just put TV SHOW or FILM at the start of our posts so people can skim over the ones they don't want more easily.

    Thread is rarely a mess.

    As for your last point, how are you supposed to have a recommendation thread if you can't comment on the quality of a show? Do you just want posts with solely the show/film name?

    Channel 4 should have Irish broadcast rights as well though, so it seems odd to bring up.

    TBH, the only problem I have with this thread, is when I see the notification pop up, and I click in only to find people whingeing about the benefits of it or debating on how funny amy schumer is.

    I am jacks unbridled sense of disappointment.


    The thread has always rambled between film and series / tv shows and its my one stop shop for all things netflix on boards, I cannot BF trawling through subforums and threads for individual shows unless I plan on getting into a deeper discussion on same.

    What? Is my point being that easily missed? Of course you should comment on the quality of TV shows in a TV Recommendation thread...in a TELEVISION forum. But this thread? It's for films, it's in a FILM forum.

    Your point is fine in theory but is it really necessary for multiple threads? People aren't on here posting spoilers and if someone posting "The acting is good, but overall the show is a mess" ruins your enjoyment of something then that's your problem. I avoid all spoilers and if a film is a pivotal plot point or twist is ruined I'll often hold off on watching something but someone posting something like "The acting is good, but overall the show is a mess" would have no impact on my enjoyment of something. If something like that is an issue then I would avoid looking at facebook, twitter and the internet in general. Hell, it's pretty common for newspapers to have spoilers on the front age for major shows.
