Netflix Recommendations Thread 3.0

The creator mentioned Misfits in the Empire interview. I don’t remember exactly what he said but something like it is one of the inspirations and a comparison with MISFITS was inevitable because it is regular British people with powers but MISFITS is more of a comedy, while this is a serious superhero show.

I watched the first episode of SUPACELL.

It is really good.

There are a few characters (Tazor and his gang, and other “yutes”) that I couldn’t understand at all because of the accents and slang.

Subtitles kept appearing randomly even though the option was OFF. I would go to English SDH and back to OFF and they’d stop showing however where ever a song was playing in the background they’d turn back on. Captions were also appearing whenever there was a sign.

Just finished Ripley, absolutely superb TV

Watched Beverly Hills Cop, Axel F last night. About what you would expect from a BHC movie, so thoroughly enjoyable with a bowl of popcorn.

Eddie Murphy hasn't aged a day!

I wasn't actually sure what to make of it after the 1st episode. Not sure why, just felt like it wasn't going to go anywhere. Finished it last night and it was pretty good overall though. I'm not really into superhero type stuff, but definitely enjoyed it.

Totally disagree with you but I know it's very much an acquired taste with how it was made. I thought the black and white worked very well. Completely separate from the movie so no point in comparing them. Thought Ripley was charming when he needed to be but you knew the nastiness was simmering underneath and the tension built up to boiling point in the last episode

No problem with a filmmaker taking a totally different approach to the same material but, by making Ripley a dark, menacing figure (especially in the introductory scenes in NY) , this version loses the charm, the tension and the intrigue. Why would Dickie and Marge befriend this creepy guy (don't they see through this phony)? Why would we be interested in his plot to replace Dickie? Surely we just want him caught and dealt with quickly.

I don't think Hollywood today could make a movie that combines the menace and charm of The Talented Mr. Ripley.

Gave up after 15 minutes

just finished latest season of Tour de France

Excellent again. Make sure to set language to French with subtitles

Delighted to see a new American football series pop up called Receiver. That’s next up

Might also watch “Sprint “- anyone watched it yet?

Sprint takes a little while to get going but the last 2 episodes at the World championships are very good

probably not a q for this forum. But is it possible to do an offline download on a windows 10 pc.

I can download stuff for offline viewing in my iPhone. But can’t seem to do it on my windows 10 machine.

The Boyfriend is Japan's first same sex dating reality show, I am two episodes in and a bit obsessed already.

Also the music is right up my street.

Not sure if it works if you’re not but if you’re married and middle-aged, Boomers has some good funny moments.

New season of The Dragon Prince out today. Really enjoy this series so always happy to see new episodes. Can be really dark in places.

On episode 6 and looking at the title of the next episode

it can only mean it's a nice happy occasion, right?
