Give me something to watch on Netflix

Any of you watching Renegade Nell yet?
I watched the first couple of episodes late last night and it is an absolute pleasure. I love the 18th century setting, the costuming, the metric shit-ton of asskickery; and Louisa Harland's performance is fantastic.
Watch if you're a fan of any of the following:

Watch if you're a fan of any of the following:
- the first Pirates of the Caribbean film
- Dandy highwaymen
- horrible villains like Tim Roth's character in Rob Roy
- Sally Wainwright dramas
- The rich were so mean, why they're practically satanic!

I binged the entire series this week... and was looking for this thread to post about it. Definitely took some choices that I thought were very odd but I really enjoyed the series.

I’m actually really curious to hear about the topic of Jacobites, who are noted often and casually, scans with an American audience.

I saw an ad for it somewhere and figured it was my kind of nonsense. However, I never get a chance to watch anything so who knows if I’ll see it

I watched Please Hold on Prime for like the third time last night. It's only 19 minutes long and is quite funny but apparently not that good because I keep forgetting I've seen it and watch it again.

In not the exact same way but tangentially related to the Euro/American-centric teaching of world history.... it was college art history that really soured my feelings on any "noble knight" perspective of things like Arthurian mythology and instead see events like The Crusades as Anglo-Saxon Christian genocide which begat the founders of the United States of American Indian killers and African slave owners. Pretty much all knight/sword/dragon fanboy shit from there on out leaves a really bad taste in my mouth.
I did note when watching "Rebel Nell" (she cried glow, glow glow)... that I believe at least one of the castle properties was also used in "The Gentleman" which is on Netflix and I actually enjoyed even more than Nell.
My wife couldn't stand the "Guy Ritchie" of it all, but I give him a pass as we're likely related somewhere along the tree.

That scene was brutal!I binged it and it kinda took a while to sink in how creepy it was.... I mean, it starts out so weird but gets slow in parts... but on purpose.
That ship in the canal scene is what will stick with me the longest.

And a really wierd way to retrieve a single hard drive from an oil tanker
I did enjoy the show but have some nagging issues
The whole ship thing as mentioned. And why didn't the Panamanians or Americans notice the British Royal Navy building a giant contraption in the middle of the Panama canal?
Why do they call the aliens My Lord? It's not specified that the people on the ship are religious, and they know they dealing with aliens
Its supposed to be set in the current day but they have advanced tech like nano fibres and cryotubes and can put 1000 nukes in space at the drop of a hat
Who is Liam Cunningham's character? That scene where he's talking to the navy guy who tells him to fuck off then he shows him his id and suddenly he's got the entire Royal Navy as his disposal? The only explanation I can think of is that's he's Doctor Who

I assume that Liam works for the UN en that he has free reign on what he does. Hence the ship scene. The way they retrieved the hard drive didn’t make much sense, they could have just as easily sent in commando troops and captured everyone on board. The leader would never have destroyed the hard drive since he needed the recorded messages. But it was for a fun but brutal scenario.
They called the aliens their lord because they DID sort of have a religious veneration of the aliens. The people on the ship were in every sense of the word a religious cult. Remember, their leader was the only one who ‘spoke’ to the aliens, it is suggested he probably fed the others a bunch of lies anyway.
I think the whole idea is that a lot of people willingly submit to beings/entities/organisations that they feel are all-powerful, hence ‘my lord’.
The nukes in space didn’t make much sense to me either. Maybe because it’s the strongest explosive we currently have? I haven’t read the books, so can’t really say more on this.
I believe the second season ( and the second and third books) will be playing in the future.

A spin-off?
He was a cop, and good at his job, but then he committed the ultimate sin and testified against other cops...now he prowls the badlands, a bounty hunter, a renegade.

Only watched the first episode, but Ripley (on
Netflix) is an entertaining and gorgeous-looking adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s first Ripley novel. Unless things go terribly wrong, I’m already hoping for that they continue with the following novels. Of course, given that it’s on Netflix, it will almost certainly be canceled. Alas.
