Netflix Recommendations Thread 3.0

Just spotted all 3 seasons (well, 2 seasons and a "finale episode") of Jed Mercurio's "Bodies" has been added.

A bit under the radar as was critically acclaimed and during LoD's peak, it was nowhere to be found on iPlayer and the like.

Wholeheartedly recommended!

So I watched uncut gems.... god what a watch, people here were right. The stress levels were high!

I agree. I thought bodies was very good

My God but spiderhead is fairly terrible stuff and has an even more terrible ending to make matters even worse

I lasted as far as nacho cheese. That was enough for me.

Started watching the Lincoln Lawyer not expecting much but it kept me watching. Some of the supporting actors were a bit ropey but I enjoyed it overall. Decent 10 eps.

Wonder why Umbrella Academy is releasing on Wednesday instead of the usual Friday release for the bigger series like that. Do they not know I've enough to watch on Disney+ that day with Ms Marvel, Obi Wan finale and the new Doctor Strange?

I woke up yesterday expecting it too, and was gutted. Am at Glastonbury next week so I'll have that and Stranger Things shortly after coming back.

Anyways, Netflix have started doing it a bit tbh - Russian Doll second season was released on a Wednesday, as well as that horrible Ben Falcone-Melissa McCarthy vehicle earlier this week.

Really enjoying Obi Wan Kenobi. Cant wait for the finale. Is Doctor Strange gona be a rental on Disney+? If so I wouldn't bother. I saw it in the cinema. Very average movie I thought but if you're a big Doctor Strange fan maybe you'll enjoy it.

Melissa McCarthy 'comedy' series God's Favourite idiot is absolutely woeful. I'm lost for words as to how truly awful it is!

Nope. It's being released to standard Plus. I've seen all the other MCU movies and series so not gonna stop now. 😃

Anyone have any good recap videos for Umbrella Academy? Think I remember enough anyway. So did they stunt the Five actor's growth so they don't have to use tricks or tech to make him look the same age?

In that case why not. I wouldnt be paying 20+ euro to stream it like Black Widow.

I thought extraction was a good watch.

Yeah, tbh part of the reason I was willing to take a punt on Spiderhead was the quality of Extraction - sure, it's not going to set the world on fire but it does what it sets out to do with flair and some good action/fight choreography (the bit with the knife-fight in the street and the Vespa still makes me smile, it's the sort of detail too many action films would overlook).

mrmorgan

Spiderhead is watchable, yes no extraction but watchable... how it cost 100 million to make is beyond me!

Gave the Lincoln Lawyer a try, after the first episode I'm not going to continue on with it. Genuinely felt like not much at all happened the whole episode.

Had The Chestnut Man on My List for a good while and have just finished the first episode. Great watch, gripping storyline and good acting. Has been a long time not getting into any show so this is enjoyable. Danish TV show with English sub titles for those that find this a deal breaker.

We are really enjoying the Lincoln Lawyer, we find it nearly comedy like at times. I don't know if that was the effect that they were going for but that's the way we find it at times!

Watched this, have the same view in that it's just about watchable. More of a payday for all involved rather than putting in some effort with very much a TV movie vibe about it.

They must have built the building, bought the plane and the boat and spent the rest on Chris and Miles in order to spend the 100 million, cannot see where else the money went.

No idea either. Most of the film is set in 2 rooms - the room where Hemsworth and his buddy observe, and the room where the subjects of the experiments are. There's not much elsewhere. There's not much CGI, and only 1 bit of an explosion if I remember correctly. Must have been some salaries.

Mr Crispy

It seems to be Netflix's MO - give out huge pay cheques to big names and hope that that alone will bring in the viewers.

Even the explosion was bad CGI, from a distance but you could see that it was bad

Went looking for this and started watching midnight in the switchgrass thinking it was it.... the acting in this is brutal

deisedude

Not a recommendation but thought someone on here might know the answer. I have Sky Q and Netflix and have been paying them separately and wanted to combine them. Am I correct in saying that once I login to Netflix on Sky Q that Sky will contact Netflix in my behalf and Netflix will stop billing me separately?
