Movies/TV shows that don't suck on Netflix

[Atiba Applebum]

Intrigued by Murder at the End of the World (Hulu/fx).   

Despite the “Lisbeth Salander meets the Glass Onion” premise, I have high hopes.

^^^ I saw the commercial for this last night. It looks cool. I didn't used to love Clive Owen but he has grown on me starting with "Children of Men".

I never saw "The Knick". Was that good?

I loved the Knick.   Two perfect seasons


The only thing about this show I’m nervous about is I’m not always on board with Brit Marling/Zal Batmangli’s creative choices.   The OA was not my favorite and I couldn’t do s2 despite hearing good things…

Completely agree about the Knick and not being able to get into the OA. I've enjoyed For All Mankind on Apple tv so far, progression from season to season is significant enough that at the end of each season I'm looking forward to where it goes from there.

I haven’t been in love with FAM bc I’m not crazy about Joel Kinnaman, but I’ve stuck with it.    There are some intriguing sparks setting up in this season and I dig Toby Kebbell so it’s nice to see him in the mix



Has anyone watched the Curse yet?  Don’t want to speak too much on it yet

On episode 3 of Loki season 2…. Enjoying it. Clearing the bad taste from secret invasion yeeeesh.

Yeah secret invasion was rough and pointless.    They’ve shut down daredevil bc they realized they need to get some people with tv know how in there and if they fuck up daredevil that’s a bridge too far.   

Honestly, Invincible seems like the only real way to do a superhero type shoe.    Maybe bc I know better, but I can just feel the budget straining on even the Boys when they have to made Canada look like a South America Contra camp.    I’d almost like to see a comics-accurate animated series for the show (and maybe even Preache) like they did in thst Boys spin-off animated series.

A scifi-y espionage show with Samuel L. And Emilia Clarke i was sold. Ep 1 wasn’t too bad, but the rest was a chore to finish. Guess the marvel fatigue as well…

Ke Huy Quan has been my favorite part of Loki 2. Great addition.

[Abyss1]

Im the same with superhero movies... I thought this was well done and reflects my thought on R rated superhero movies

I was sold on the premise too, but I don’t think they ever really committed fully to the espionage part as well as I would have liked.   The shapeshifting reveals didn’t make much sense and I wish it had been seeded better previously the way Hydra had kinda been.   The biggest reveal you just kinda think…well when the fuck did that happen?

I also kept thinking about why the skrulls were having such a hard time while New Asgard was getting along quite swimmingly.    Completely ignoring NA felt like a missed opportunity to comment on immigrant assimilation or something.

Really enjoyed The Killer. I love Michael Fassbender and Fincher made excellent use of him in this one.

My enjoyment grows with the thought of it

It felt almost intentionally like a tv show.   I don’t remember opening production cards, just went straight into the intro montage like a tv show and the obvious episodic nature of the narrative.

[brycickle]

That was a LOT of Morrissey though.

[skippersoldballs]

I liked Pluto a lot but some of the English voice acting was very grating. enjoyed it a lot more with subtitles

[funeral_tuxedo]

If any of you have YouTube premium the movie Moon starring Sam Rockwell is currently available and it’s really good.

Super underrated…. Didn’t even get an Oscar nod, granted 2008 had a lot of competition.

I liked how it was shot and the acting a lot, but the story was a bit cliche for me found myself correctly guessing the 2nd and 3rd acts all from events in the 1st act

A “well-structured” script will do that.   The idea is to establish things subtly in your mind so that things don’t seem coincidental, but also not with a bell around its neck.   I think as you become a better movie watcher you just happen to notice these things more and more - but I do agree it wasn’t the most original thing in the world

Anyone see Safe Men back in the day?   Remember that being a hit with the colllege film crowd in the early 00s but I haven’t seen it years.   Rockwell + Zahn.  Remember it being like Bottle Rocket in spirit

[BallDontLie]

There’s also this one that flew under the radar *edit: with Sam Rockwell… pretty funny

[jakeumms]

There was a time in my life where I thought the idea of an adaptation of Confessions of a Dangerous Mind was impossible but that movie is super good and Sam Rockwell is a big part of that.

Forgot about that one! Broken record alert, but Man Netflix had so much cool stuff 10+ years ago…


Always enjoyed this one…

[dstrytruitt]

It Ain’t Over—a Yogi Berra documentary. Really dug it on multiple levels. Haven’t watched baseball in years but it got me a little emotional.

He’s a special talent. Somehow he’s managed to play a sympathetic WW2 Nazi in Jojo Rabbit, he outshined both Mickey Rourke and Robert Downey Jr in Iron Man 2, and carried Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri with Frances McDormand. There’s nobody like him and he can fucking dance.

Dance?   Are we talking Charlie’s Angels now?

[Carrolls Chesthairs]

Still good and surprising having seen it before

LOL yeah he does dance really well in Charlie’s Angels but I was actually thinking of Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind.
