Give me something to watch on Netflix

I started Slow Horses last night. The cast is stellar but I get the sense that it might require a few episodes before it finds its stride.

It’s solid and fun.

The novels are the best of the best for fun (and funny) spy novels out there, so if the shark jumps, it won’t be from the plot.

I didn’t love one of the seasons, though.
 
Started Mobland last night after seeing people rave about it for weeks online.

Tom Hardy, Peirce Brosnan, Helen Mirren and a bunch of other great actors.

Guy Ritchie but not quite as in your face Lock, Stock / Snatch / The Gentlemen.

2 episodes in and really enjoying it.
 
The ending of Righteous Gemstones was pretty unsatisfactory. The whole 3rd season was kind of weak.

I wonder if they are going to try a spinoff of the days from Elijah Gemstone to Eli Gemstone?
 
The Ballad Of Wallis Island has been getting rave reviews and I think will be appreciated by you guys as it's about musicians. It's a low budget comedy drama about an eccentric millionaire who invites his favourite (and defunct) folk duo to do a private reunion gig for him. It's funny and sweet and sad and has great performances from some less well known British actors you vaguely recognise from supporting roles in other things. The music is all original from the co-star and co-writer who I mainly remember as Waterboy (Waterman) from Plebs.
 
"Cheech & Chong's Last Movie" is their best. It's Cheech & Chong talking about their lives. They lived interesting lives in interesting times. It's available streaming for $9.99 on Google, Fandango, Amazon, Apple TV, YouTube TV. Well worth the price of admission.
 
Just binged the new season of Ginny and Georgia, and it was absolutely wild, best season yet. I hope I don't have to wait another two years to see what happens next, I'm already impatient and tapping my foot like a smoker trying to quit.
 
Den Of Thieves and it's recent sequel are pretty solid heist movies. They lack a sense of humour* and owe a huge debt to Heat but they're enjoyable. I thought they were Netflix originals but apparently not.

*There is a great scene in the sequel when Gerard Butler's character says 'Fuck the police' and gets a look from O'Shea Jackson Jr that's worth the price of admission alone :lol:

We are watching it right now... my wife and I cracked up when Ginny said "I feel like I've been a Sophomore forever..." because we had literally just commented that they need to send these kids to college or something because the actress is already 27 years old playing a high school sophomore. :lmbo:
 
'One To One: John and Yoko' is a good watch. Based around the 1972 charity concert it's as much a record of America in the early 70's as is it about John and Yoko. The parallels between 1972 and 2025 are obvious. This has all happened before and it will all happen again. I remember experiencing a similar feeling when watching a documentary about The Clash and their stand against racism in the late 70's/early 80's just after Brexit.

If nothing else it's a reminder that Imagine is the most important song ever written.

The new ABBA doc on Netflix is pretty good, although the sound mix is terrible. I would advise against "The In-Laws", also on Netflix. One of my favorite comediennes is in it, but it's an Adam Sandler joint and awful.
 
Friendship with Tim Robinson and Paul Rudd is good. I expected it to be a bit more of a standard bromance Hollywood movie. But no, it's a full on 90 minute episode of I Think You Should Leave With Tim Robinson. It's really funny, but without the restrictions of TV it goes even darker.

If you like I Think You Should Leave With Tim Robinson then you'll love it. If you don't like I Think You Should Leave With Tim Robinson then you're irredeemable :embarrassed:

You really notice it with the kid who plays Austin. Everything that happens from them getting to town takes place over one year, or a little bit more than that, but Austin looks so much older than in season 1.

I’m behind the curve. My daughter nagged me to watch and get caught up. On S1, but instantly hooked.
