Netflix Recommendations Thread 3.0

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.

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?

Civil: Ben Crump (2022) Ben Crump, also known as "Black America's attorney general," pulls back the curtain on his life as a family man and civil rights leader.

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.

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.

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

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?

The Future Of 5 eps are up then new eps weekly (2022) With the help of industry experts, this innovative docuseries examines new and emerging technological trends to imagine revolutionary possibilities

Just finished episode 3 of You don’t know Me.

Don’t like the Netflix films, think the acting is on a par with Fair City, but this is a BBC offering so streets ahead

did not expect to like it, but I’m addicted.. love when you turn something on as a filler and then you get lucky.

Don’t want to watch episode 4 as then it will be over.

acting unreal in it from all cast especially the main characters. Well deserved BAFTA nomination.
