Netflix Recommendations

Just watched the Tracy Morgan episode. It was hilarious!

Jerry's reaction to his Kramer question right at the end (during the added out takes) was well funny

[randombs]

I was watching it on my phone in the work canteen and slapped the table at that bit. A few people jumped but it was worth it

I loved the Michael Jackson cloning bit, how it'd be a hassle because they'd have to clone Bubbles as well

I need to watch the Seinfeld thing, but it seems like a lot of nothing, when there's some great stories to be told elsewhere on Netflix.

I kind of get that, but it scratches a different itch. It's a bit like not reading a magazine because of all the great novels available

Good Girls.

It's great.. can't explain much without spoiling it but check it out.


It has Christina Hendricks in it.

Second season of Glow was great. We've burned through most of the two seasons of master of none in the last couple of days, the cast are pretty chucklesome.

The Good Place is freakin' brilliant!

[Family Fry]

Half way through season 2 of GLOW at the moment, still enjoying it which is good.
If anyone enjoyed Glow I would recommend the documentary that’s also on Netflix. It’s interesting to hear their stories about how the show came together, also just to warn anyone if you do watch it there’s a very graphic arm break in middle of it, I wasn’t ready for it and almost brought my dinner up.
I haven’t heard a bad word about the good place yet so I will have to put that on my list.

I really enjoyed Glow S2 too. Netflix and Amazon Prime have almost enough quality content to have me considering binning Sky ... if it weren't for Sports F1 and Atlantic

[cutmymilk]

I have NowTV and use Ace Stream for the F1 (motorsportsstreams on Reddit for links). Naughty but I would literally be paying JUST for the F1. I don't watch any football which is what everyone is basically paying for.

You get Atlantic, live and catch-up, on NowTV for about £7 per month. Sports is £30 odd per month though, although you can switch it on and off whenever you want.

Nice to be able to watch Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee on something other than my iPad. Always a funny, feel good watch ... not even the newly shoehorned Lavazza product placement can spoil the fun.

Just watched the first episode.
Carrey, Countach and Coffee; three of my favourite things.
It's a lot shorter than I expected, so I may try to watch one after something longer and there's no time for a full episode of something.

I'm going to watch the Tracy Morgan one before bed though.

[Neon Ignition]

We're enjoying Glow Season 2 at the mo' too, next up is episode 6 and it's progressing at a really interesting and natural pace. Hope Netflix keeps it going as I know it's not one of their most watched shows despite the praise it gets.

We tried A Good Place before but couldn't get on with it, felt like a vacuum of humour. It's not offensively bad like most unfunny shows... it was just insanely bleh

Apparently Anthony Mackie has been cast as the lead of Altered Carbon season 2. I found the first series to be beautiful but it was problematic and the lead was terrible. Mackie has the potential to be a far stronger lead.
