Netflix Recommendations

[Goo Punch 4,275]

man i watched probably the first 7-8 hours of KB's Vietnam doc and then fell off it somewhere. Need to pick that back up. Also started on the Lucas stuff last night, and i'm enjoying it through one episode. 

now then, I need some recs: give me your favorite 3-5 shows/movies currently streaming on netflix. go!

A big fuck yes on mindhunter

[LTtxfan 49,185]

I'm sure it's covered somewhere else, but my review for "The Irishman" is:   Disappointed and overrated.

Slow, choppy, and such a letdown compared to "The Godfather".

My positive comments are good to see the older actors in a movie again and enjoyed the old cars.

mindhunter is dope. imo season 1 > season 2, but it's a really good show. 

[Celery Man 20,948]

If your benchmark is The Godfather you will be frequently let down.

[williemackgarza 1,826]

Irishman had a good story.
It DRAGGED too long and slow.
Damn wanted to like it but was meh

[DallasGatr 216]

Did somebody really ask if Mindhunter was worth it?

[Scraps 13,561]

I enjoyed End of the f***ing world.  You'll know in a couple episodes and the episodes are only 20-25 minutes long.

Fuckin A it's worth it.

[drifter379 1,106]

I just paused 6 underground 8 minutes in to say this is fucking RIDICULOUS and I already love it.

[Brandywine 1,316]

Speaking of 6 Underground. I was in Florence this summer. How they did what they did absolutely blows me away. My jaws just dropped watching it. Unbelievable. Modern day version of Bullet.

Watching now. The city looks badass and damn it's gory

How does Perky Blinders rate?

Agree on Marriage Story: had some funny moments but definitely not memorable. Kept reading Wikipedia every time a mob name came up during the Irishman. Too long. The guy is the Zelig/Forest Gump of mobsters.

[tx 3 putt 76,952]

6 Underground, good watch 

great car chase to open it

overrated. i, and many others here, just couldn't stick with it. for me it was all sizzle, no steak. doesn't hold up at all with the litany of other crime related shows that i watch.

I could use a good crime related show. Any recs? Haven’t seen a good one since sneaky Pete, breaking bad/better call Saul.

I'm through 3 seasons of Peaky Blinders, season 1 and 2 are legit, season 3 is okay. Overall it's pretty good, worth a watch... of course season 4 might make me turn it off, who knows... it's not up there with BB, but it's good.

Ozark is worth watching 

[Aqua Buddha 14,596]

Marriage Story is awful if you hate great acting, nuance, subtlety, and good writing.

Brilliant movie.  Does a great job of making neither love or hate either party.  Great acting in key scenes.  Supporting cast of Laura Dern, Ray Liotta, and Alan Alda are outstanding.

Thanks for the recs. I enjoyed a couple you mentioned so should trust the other ones. I loved Broadchurch, Russian Doll.

If you haven't watched Narcos I'd start there. 

[Sejjr 3,246]

The Witcher is looking like it could be pretty good for those who like the fantasy/swordplay genre. Dec 20.

[Dylan383 6]

I need to go back to it. Watched the first year and then stopped for no good reason.

Nothing wrong with Peaky Blinders, many on here are still watching it. It’s had some spots that aren’t great, but this last season was well worth watching.

Many others? You are fucking high. The show has its own thread. It’s awesome.

[Zepol87 9,185]

Yep. Hopefully it lives up to the hype.

Peaky blinders is still solid but yes not as good as first 2 seasons.

yes, many others. there were some "peaky blinders wars" awhile back between the two contingents, with plenty of people on both sides. it was a whole thing. 

[Player 4,575]

I don’t recall any wars, but there was definitely a fatwa against juicy for posting spoilers.

Imagine my surprise to see during the credits that it was produced and directed by Michael bay. 

[Dylan383 6]

6 Underground is GREAT!!!! That Florence chase is epic. Whole movie is nice. Enjoy it while it lasts. Not sure why Netflix poured so much money into it.

[Sejjr 3,246]

6 Underground is definitely Peak Bay. And despite the tissue paper thin story and dialogue, it was pretty entertaining.

[Dylan383 6]

I couldn’t stop watching it. What a great entertaining surprise. Glad to have Michael Bay back in fine form!

Just think of the tickets they're going to get from the city fo Florence...  billionaire my ass!

also fruit stands explode...  but only if a car hits them

[Hawndoh 2,386]

I've only watched the first episode but for a detective show I liked Hinterland. 

It's one of those British shows where the episodes are 90 minutes but there's only 4 or 5 episodes in a season.

Ozark is good. Mindhunter is badass if you haven't seen it yet. Altered Carbon is the tits. If you like movies/shows that paint a dystopian future, you will love it.

Even if you don't like that genre, watch it for Detective Ortega...

Look Narcos and Peaky Blinders are as good as it gets. Don’t listen to Derka

[ChickenSandwich 9,836]

Enjoyed Umbrella Academy as well.  If as good as some of the other but entertaining. 

[Goo Punch 4,275]

There was a thread on this site about the best TV shows ever, and a decent portion of that thread was the PB fanboys claiming it was as good as Breaking Bad, The Sopranos, The Wire, etc, along with another sizable portion of posters who were like, "uh, no it's not", including several, like me, who watched an entire season or more of PB and could not get into it. 

i don't care if you or anyone else wants to watch PB, go right ahead; maybe it's your cup of tea. just know that the PB fanboys are some of the most defensive and delusional fanboys on the site, and that it's nowhere near the level of any of the shows listed above. it's on par with Ozark and Sons of Anarchy and stuff like that. but don't believe the hype about it being one of the greatest shows ever. it's not.

[immortal13 4,059]

I have to agree with Derka on this one. I got negs on the other site for saying Peaky Blinders was overrated.
