    i really hate netflix layout, it gives suggestions that are crap and then you go search for something and find some good gems, but a lot of stuff is outdated or cheap indy which depending on taste can suck a lot, did enjoy la casa de papel, currently on queen of south really good if you still need your narco fix.

    It's better than Amazon Prime which is really poor.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    I detest the auto play. It puts me off browsing all together. Very unpleasant user experience.

    That is the bane of my existence.

    I just finished binge watching Breaking Bad . Can't believe I haven't seen this before. I put it up there with Sons Of Anarchy and The Soparanos. I just put Better Call Saul in my wish List. The Actor who played the crooked lawyer Saul was brilliant in Breaking Bad so I hope fingers crossed his charchter hasn't changed much and i'm in for a good few laughs.

    Ah, for feck sake..

    That one isn't so bad as it only it only happens if you click into a film, which I've long stopped doing unless I plan to watch it. No, I was actually referring to the auto-playing of trailers on the main browse screen, which happens if you leave a film selected for longer than 2 seconds! It's incredibly irritating!

    I think it only happens with certain versions of the app. My first gen Firestick never did it. I'm tempted to go back to it just for Netflix because I've totally stopped browsing in the app because of it. Then again maybe I'm better off sticking to search as I'm less likely to just hit play on something out of desperation with the terrible recommendations.

    Howard the Duck? Netflix sub justified! :)

    Don;t you hate it when you say to yourself after the first season or 2 of a show that you must start watching it, only for them to suddenly release Voltron Season 7. I'm not even halfway through the first season

    Weird, the trailers never auto-played with my old one. I assumed the first gen wasn't powerful enough. But maybe the app has since been updated.

    Kubo and the Two Strings is highly recommended.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 25,740 Mod ✭✭✭✭Boom_Bap


    Just watched Jim Jefferies new special, This is me now. Some really funny parts in it. Not quite as good as Bare but I thought it was a step up from Freedumb.

    I thought it was very average, one one laugh out loud moment. He's tailored is act too much to the American audience which he had to try tailor to the British audience. He's also trying to shoehorn American politics into his act too much.

    Saw Coraline and Paranorman. Still need to watch Boxtrolls and Kubo

    Convenience is leaving the end of the month. Really funny British crime movie about two convenience store robbers who attempt to rob a store but end up messing up and working in the store overnight. Might give it another watch before it leaves.

    What is it with Netflix being crappy sci fi films?
    Tau, Cloverfield paradox, the titan!!! were absolute rubbish!
    The only one I can think of that was genuinely good was annihilation.

    how dare you forget Spectral :)

    also isn't there Psychokinesis? which i haven't seen but got good reviews


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,178 ✭✭✭oneilla


    I watched Miracle Mile on Netflix and very much enjoyed it - a man accidentally learns of impending nuclear war with Soviet russia (it was made in the 1980s) and sets about trying to evacuate Los Angelas with his girlfriend.

    The story is a little daft and it looks like an 80s B-movie but it's very good
