    Community fell off a cliff on season 2. A lot of stupid pointless episodes . May go back at some stage but not sure .

    The stupid pointless episodes are what makes it so good. I wouldn't bother if you're not enjoying it.

    Don't care really that other people think I'm kidding, all that matters to me is that we had fun watching it. And that's they way is should be.

    I don't understand why people get so forceful when someone enjoys something they don't like, in any aspects of life.

    Yeah, dunno how we decided what we liked before the internet

    I use to go out on the street and shout out the name of the film I was watching and then based whether I liked it or not on what people shouted back at me. Having your own opinion on something is just wrong.

    I wonder if Martin Scorsese liked Thunder Force?

    I bet he wishes he put a Jodie Foster skit in the Irishman after seeing it in Thunder Force.

    My wife and I have watched all 3 in the last week. Great movies and no. 3 is the best. Little action, great script and brilliant acting. It's s great recommendation

    I am not always on here, but, I have to say, the recommendations on this thread are brilliant when I need to find something decent to watch.

    I did not know these movies were on Netflix.

    Watching Page 8 now, and delighted there's two more.. thanks to you both.

After Joel Dawson (Dylan O’Brien) reconnects over the radio with his high school girlfriend Aimee, who has been living on the coast 80 miles away, he begins to fall for her again.

    In the name of the father is still as good as when I saw it as a teenager.

    Also loving masterchef and masterchef professionals.

    Going to watch the art heist documentary later as I have heard it’s amazing.

    Watched Run with Sarah Paulson - a nice 90 mins, and a decent psychological thriller. Well worth a go.

    Also watched (or attempted to) Thunder Force with Melissa McCarthy and Octavia Spencer. This was terrible - both my wife and I looked at each other at the Jason Bateman scene, and turned it off. Spencer phoned it in, the movie didn't know if it wanted to be serious, or a comedy, or whatever. Horrible movie.

    Watched Thunderforce last night. Well, it's a 1 hour 47 minute movie. Save yourself 50 minutes (that was all I could last) and don't watch it. One of the only times I couldn't actually put up with a movie any longer

    This exactly! :D

    Yeah, it's a good movie. Low budget, but the FX work with the monsters is often incredible. While the human characters are sweet without seeming either too idiotic or excessively sentimental.

    Netflix is poor
    It was grand when it €7/8 a few year ago but gradually the price has crept up and up and it is just not worth it.
    Queens gambit was a good show but it wasn’t great
    Ozark is a poor mans rip off of breaking bad replacing a chemistry teacher with an accountant.
    I find everything is regarded a good 2 star about what they actual are.

    Some of the docs are good(Michael Jordan,blackfish) but at lot of it woeful dross.

    Really enjoyed mindhunter but they stopped making that because it didn’t gets the viewers which would suggest the demographic of Netflix is 15-30 year olds and leaning heavily towards girls based on the top ten in Ireland list .

    I’m tryi to think of a Netflix movie that was good and I am really struggling to think of one.

    Amazon prime has supior content but lacks in quantity but it is good value

    I don't think Amazon lacks in quantity but it has a really poor interface and is absolutely chock-a-block with dross.

    Amazon's library isn't a patch on Netflix. Don't know how anyone can say it's better


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 23,261 ✭✭✭✭2smiggy


    surely everyone is signed up through some family plan at this stage, making it only a few euros a month ?

    Mind hunter was one of the best shows Netflix made and I didn't realise it was cancelled.
    I Just found out that Netflix now costs 17 euro for the top plan, ouch.

    A few years ago I took advice from the get Netflix cheaper thread and haven't looked back

    Gotta agree with the other poster myself as more of a movies guy anyway Amazon have over 6k more at any given time than Netflix I mean that's way to much wiggle room to even go disputing.

    TV shows that people are well up on using Netflix to watch such as Fargo or Derry Girls are streaming for free on the All4 player. Think it was November last year with the new season of The Crown and The Queens Gambit landing that saved a bit of face for me in some time before then in terms of content in that regard but happily acknowledge people have different tastes and there's definitely a host of TV stuff on there to keep people happy.
