Movies/TV shows that don't suck on Netflix

[Atiba Applebum]

Not on Netflix but I am quite enjoying "Ten Year Old Tom" on CBC gem (on HBO max in US I think)

It essentially feels like a reworked version of "The Life and Times of Tim" which is one of my all-time favourite animated shows. Yes, the animation is dogshit but that's kind of the point and the dialogue is fucking hilarious.

It’s not a reworking, it’s a prequel.   I believe it was revealed in one of the last episode ms of Tim that his real name is Tom.   All of them are so goddamn funny.   

It’s weird this is considered shitty animation, but I find it so much easier to look at than Family Guy animation (and to an extent Big Mouth)

How can it be a prequel when the kids have smartphones and use gofundme etc?

Whether it is or not isn't too important anyway because it's still great. I like how some of the smaller roles are big names like John Malkovitch and David Duchovny. Nice to see other fans of Steve Dildarian's work.

The animation has never bothered me either but it was a lot cruder in Life and Times of Time. I don't think they ever showed characters walking or moving across the screen lol. That was the biggest difference I noticed so far seeing the kids ride bikes and just walk into a room. In Tim you'd hear footsteps then it would cut to whoever entered or they'd use other creative ways without actually moving the characters.

Decided to start watching The Handmaid's Tale. Ho-lee-shit. I'm not sure which documentary about the future of America is scarier, this or Idiocracy.

Prepare for that shit to totally fall apart after season one. Unless you like a star with a hero complex and episodes completely made up of shots of people walking across courtyards and person clenching their jaw straight down the camera lens

Season 1 was excellent but now it’s devolved into Elizabeth Moss rapid eye movement. She’s great at it but enough already.

If youre one of the people who managed to get thru the recent British/french war of the world series (the one set in current day not the one set a hundred years ago) the new third series is actually alright. Better than that show deserved really

I think it’s a spiritual sequel/prequel.   It’s the same guy, but there’s not really supposed to be a narrative they’re following or anything like that.   I don’t think they’re setting up to a point where he meets Amy and Stu or whatever

Welcome to Chippendales seems interesting enough for a limited series.   I liked the Pam and Tommy series bc I had no idea about the Seth Rogen story and where that went and this seems to be following a similar manner.   


Pepsi, Where’s My Jet? Is a fun little doc if you remember the contest.   It’s funny to see who pops up on the legal side.

I've been loving Welcome to Chippendales and also thought it was similar to Pam and Tommy. For me, it was new information that Paul Snider and Dorothy Stratten were involved in the start up. It was probably invented but the scene where Steve gets the idea for the club and why they are they are even there in the first place was so great.

The gal that plays Dorothy Stratton is married to David Beckham’s son, if you were looking for some light trivia

Fun watch. The last couple episodes dragged on however the ending amazing.

Texas Killing Fields doc well done too. Super sad & creepy that many women murdered along that I-45 stretch 

[BallparkFrank]

Anyone play Triviaverse? It’s actually pretty enjoyable.

[rawr1922]

Expectations pretty low before I watched Bullet Train. Wow what a fun watch!

Welp looks like I’m getting Showtime because the George Jones series, George & Tammy, on there starring Michael Shannon & Jessica Chastain

[Atiba Applebum]

South Side just started up again on HBO Max.   One of the funnier shows I’ve seen recently and I’m sure anyone from Chicago will appreciate it 100x more

Emily the Criminal was a refreshingly good movie, it’s on Netflix, Aubrey plaza

[Jehoshaphat Augustus]

This one is a thriller on netflix from Austrailiar, it's good! I don't want to tell you what it is about, in order to give you the same experience I had. I watched 15 seconds of the trailer, stopped it because it looked good and I didn't want a spoiler.

So, for best results, DON'T watch the (full) trailer but DO watch the movie and enjoy!

[Sleazy]

best thing i've seen in a while. really good acting, beautiful sets, great costume and character design and a really different take on the western genre as a whole. it had tarrantino vibes for me in the character design and the way some of the action sequences where laid out. it's really good at building tension in both action and dialogue scenes. on the flip side it's very hard to follow and if you don't enjoy those kind of shows it's not for you. i ended up watching spoiler episode reviews after each episode so i could better understand what's going on but characters and plot elements that were introduced in the second episode won't be clear or explained until 5 episodes later. to me it's a testament to how well all the other elements are executed when i was really interested but didn't really understand what was going on half the time. my wife and i are getting ready to rewatch it now that we understand the plot.

This is so good. Don't fully know why but Aus makes some of the best grim shit.
Shit that won't matter for non Australians but is nice: lead actor (who's British) actually does a good Aus accent not just a random mix of Aus voices. It fukn feels like Aus. Heaps of production companies make stuff and it's almost like they're trying to give an idea of Aus for other markets but blue tounge makes it real.

It’s not necessarily AUS, but it’s Joel Edgerton, his brother, and that whole crew that’s behind that rise in good shit like this and  Mr Inbetween and others

[Abyss1]

Really the main guy reminded me of this dude

Oh hahah usually he gets confused for Simon Pegg.   He was the bad guy in one of the last couple of Missjon Impossibles

Thanks for the rec, one of the better things I've watched this year.

The story is based on the Daniel Morcombe case. Maybe not as well-known outside of Australia?

Big fan of Joel Edgerton. His swag, mannerisms, & confidence. Loved him as Tom Buchanan in The Great Gatsby & John Connolly in Black Mass!

He wrote and directed The Gift which iirc was a lot better than you would think it was

The Stranger was a hell of a thriller. Fun going in blind too

At this point we should just have a “bump when you’ve finally seen In Bruges” thread
