Re: Netflix. The thread of new additions, recommendations and Originals

by dste01 Sun Nov 16, 2014 8:08 pm

A friend created us a Netflix log-in, my god there is a lot of stuff on there that we want to watch in both film and TV.

Despite watching about ten films we still have 190 items in the list. Shocked

Started watching House of Cards last night after lots of recommendations.

Three episodes in and loving it. Intriguing and some good dark humour.

I thought the 'breaking the fourth wall' thing would be it's downfall as that normally annoys me but it works really well in this and is a good tool to illustrate Kevin Spacey's character's thought train. I know that's it's usual use but it works especially well in the political environment the series is set in where lots of skullduggery is afoot!

As per the TV thread I would really recommend Orange is the New Black.

I really want to watch House Of Cards at some point but it strikes me as one of those full-on concentration required things.

On a similar note the next big Netflix Original Marco Polo is out this Friday and it looks quite good. I believe the trailer is up there if you search for it on Netflix.

Just watched the trailer, looks like it could be interesting.

by **cal_el** Thu Dec 11, 2014 7:12 am

It does look interesting and it is great to see a non-whitewashing of the cast.

Yes, this could mean I keep Netflix for a bit longer - I've been considering dropping it and getting Amazon Instant Video, which I have on free trial atm (there's more I like on Amazon).

Why not be greedy and have both like me! Very Happy

Because I don't want to sit through loads of mediocre TV!

You forgot the dozens of mediocre B-Movies on Amazon Instant Very Happy

by sorenlorensen Sat Dec 20, 2014 6:02 pm

Yes - I only want one batch of mediocre tv/film for my wife to watch!

If you haven't, you can massively improve your Netflix experience with unblock-us.com to get access to the other regions (works on your consoles too), and use moreflicks.com to find out what's on where. You can pay yearly for it now so it's about £2 a month.

Has anyone watched Marco Polo yet?

If so what are your thoughts?

by dste01 Wed Jan 07, 2015 10:44 pm

Marco Polo has been announced for a second season and my favourite bit of news is that Daredevil has been dated for 10.04.2015 Very Happy

Making my way through Marco Polo and loving it!

And YAY for Daredevil!

by dste01 Sun Jan 18, 2015 10:09 pm

Looks like we are getting Jessica Jones this year as well. Very Happy

That makes me happy. Very Happy

by dste01 Mon Jan 26, 2015 9:11 pm

First five seasons of Community coming to Netflix UK on Sunday. Very Happy

by Moozo Wed Jan 28, 2015 1:04 pm

Excellent, I've wanted to rewatch season 5. I've been watching them on Netflix Canada up to now but that only has the first four.

by **MarkySharky** Wed Feb 04, 2015 1:09 pm

Really enjoying Lillyhammer at the moment. If there was a Sopranos comedy spin-off based in Norway this would be it!

by **cal_el** Thu Feb 05, 2015 7:32 am

The trailer for Daredevil is out!

Seems they are going for a much darker tone than the usual Marvel Studios film/TV shows. Looking forward to seeing how it plays out Smile

by dste01 Thu Feb 05, 2015 9:55 pm

I am very excited about Daredevil, especially after seeing Stick in the trailer.

I'm wondering if Jessica Jones may appear near the end to prepare for AKA Jessica Jones.

by sorenlorensen Fri Feb 06, 2015 6:53 am

Looks a bit like Arrow in feel. I don't really like Arrow but I'll give this a go if I still have Netflix by then

by dste01 Mon Feb 09, 2015 8:01 pm

I have Arrow to watch so shall see how I get on with it. Daredevil though is a favourite Marvel character of mine and if they go for the Miller/Bendis stories/styles then it should be brilliant.

In other Netflix news it was announced the other day that they are looking at developing a series based on The Legend of Zelda. Shocked

I'm a massive Zelda fan but cannot see how it would work as a TV series.

by dste01 Sat Mar 07, 2015 7:43 pm

Anyone watched Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt?

We have added it to the list but have yet to watch any of it.

by sorenlorensen Sat Mar 07, 2015 7:58 pm

Doesn't seem like my type of thing.
