Movies/TV shows that don't suck on Netflix

[rukes]

I saw Cypress about 10 to 15 years ago at a time you could still smoke indoors at concerts and it was amazing.

Like they went all out to put on an amazing show. Totally exceeded my expectations because sometimes hip hop shows are lacking.

Sorry for hijacking. In regards to Netflix, it has the least amount of stuff I want to watch compared to other streaming services available in Aus.

The pentaverate. (Not saying it's great, just saying it doesn't suck)
Ok so at first I was like oh this sucks it's just Mike Myers doing all his usual Mike Myers stuff. But then it's like actually yeah why not. Compared to the utter garbage Adam Sandler and co have been making it's actually decent. I'm not dieing laughing or anything(it's not exactly my sense of humour, feels like it's aimed at people a probably in their 40s who grew up with 90s Mike Myers) but at least it's actually trying to make a decent amount of jokes. My usual criticism of Netflix applies tho every series should of just been half the amount of episodes or been a movie

Incomplete Life is a fuckin awesome kdrama for those interested

Wife and I have been fighting about the end of Ozark. I’m fine with it, she’s not happy at all.

I got sopranos vibes… i actually really liked it.

With other characters, I’ll come back so i won’t spoil it. Ruth has by far been my fav.

Ruth is a great character. That illmatic episode was very cool. Wendy though, Laura Linney is an insanely talented actor.

Killer mike piece was really, really odd. Like, did she listen to hip hop prior? I wasn't sure what was going on there

[Bunk Moreland]

She always was listening to rap, but like stuff my 40 year old ass listens to. She’s only supposed to be like 20 on the show. I liked the illmatic episode. Yea they jumped tracks but each track felt relative to the scene. That exchange with killer mike and the coffee, “I never sleep.” “Why not?” “You know…” I loved it. You know how many heads that flew over.

It felt like forced style when skating, they really didnt need to add that dialogue. 

Not once in my 20+ yrs listen to illmatic did i ever get the perspective Ruth had, plus Nas lived like most NY rappers from the 90s including wu tang.

I was actually waiting for them to play it aint hard to tell

[Deputy Wendell]

throughout the series, the hip hop Ruth's been listening to has been a great way to convey how her horizons are broader than where/who she comes from...or at least that she wants them to be....escaping the Langmore 'curse" is an ongoing thing. not sure if it has to do much with this, but there's also that subtle "hillbilly" versus "redneck" tension going on at times throughout the series, the former supposedly coming with some degree of nobility the latter does not--it comes up with the Snells at points...that may be straying from the conversation...maybe not.

the Killer Mike cameo was interesting...that's all i got on that.

i took the whole Illmatic thing to be her trying to psych herself into doing what she felt she needed to do...not to mention she's from poverty and up against it--whether she's white and rural--so it's obvious how Nas' stories on Illmatic might feel relatable...

if you're into true crime esque shiet, worst roommate ever on netflix is entertaining garbage to waste your time on

[Uncle Flea]

I’m watching 7 years in Tibet rn.

I second this. The first episode tripped me out. Wasn't expecting it at all.

The John Wayne Gacy Tapes series on Netflix is solid, too.

[Cool Ceith]

Not Netflix, but I've been thoroughly enjoying 'The Offer' on Paramount+, which is all about the making of the Godfather; and 'Minx' on HBO Max. Both are perfectly paced and energetic… and I guess I'm just really into early '70s production design because every set and outfit in these shows get me stoked

[LB]

archive 81 was better than most the creepy cult series.  2 parallel timelines of past and present being told.

Archer is fucking hilarious, especially once they start to flesh out the side characters

[IUTSM]

Blew thru TNG last autumn and winter, onto season 2 DS9. Such sick shows that I never watched as a kid.

TNG hits…slept on show for binging

I restarted ds9 but got distracted with Xfiles

90s nostalgia is heavy

[LesbianPUNCH]

I’ll preface this by saying I’ve never been a huge fan of Kanye, his production, his music in general, or his antics, but I enjoyed the fuck out of his new documentary. The first episode alone is such an incredible time capsule of rare behind-the-scenes hip hop history. Definitely gave me a new appreciation for him. Some heavy shit too. Him losing his mom hit me hard as fuck.

[Coastal Fever]

Oh damn, that line totally flew over mine too until I really thought about just now.  Very clever.

season 3 of love, death and robots up on netflix.  really good collection of animated short stories, each episode is different.  generally has a dystopian/scifi/comedy/black mirror vibe.  well worth checking out if you not seen it

[GardenSkater77]

For The Wire fans…

[brycickle]

So, I had already "read" the book (audible), but the show is good if you haven't. If you haven't started the show yet though, then I think the book would be a better start. It just makes it easier to follow all of the shady bullshit that goes on in the show. Jon Bernthal is fucking perfectly cast though.

[Yu Dum]

I know I'm super fucking late to the party, but goddamn is Ozark a wild ride. I'm only on S2e3, but this shit has me on the edge of my seat with each event.

I’ll swear up and down by another Netflix drama, Bloodline once y’all finish Ozark… it starts off kind of slow then ramps up.


Thoroughly enjoying the newest season of Barry on HBO max. Noho hank is my favorite…

I binged it and I actually laughed a lot.

Strange question, but did you also have the feeling you had to "adjust" to this kind of comedy again?
I almost looked around and asked "it's ok to laugh with this right?"

And I agree that it could have been a movie.

Still enjoyed it though :-)
