Anything good on Netflix?

[trainII]

Season 1 of the Bodyguard was very good. British crime drama Luther (4 seasons ) is binge-worthy.

I think I've watched all of the Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown. Excellent.

Also loved Russian Doll.

The Lost in a Space promo looks interesting.

I liked it a lot. In many ways it stayed true to the spirit of the original. The only trap it falls into too often is the "it's just one more damn thing after another" syndrome. A smaller issue is that the woman playing the uber-genius Judy Robinson is pretty obviously a dim bulb in real life - but what the heck, she's gorgeous.

The Highwaymen on Netflix is pretty good.

Occupied on Netflix, Norwegian, brilliant writing, great acting, very unpredictable.
The Widow (season 1) on Amazon Prime, with Kate Beckinsale, brilliant writing, amazing cinematography, lots of great plot twists.

i started watching Grey's Anatomy because there's so much hype about the show over the years. So far I'm really not that impressed. The story lines are terrible, and often don't have a great conclusion to them. It's basically the show friends but in a hospital.

 

[Insidious Von]

Lorne Malvo was stone cold. Great character. Hanzee is season 2 was a scary dude too. Honestly, there are a ton of amazing characters in that show. Varga, Wrench, Lester, Emmit and Ray... really just a great job overall with the writing and casting.

Fargo is my most anticipated series when I know another season is coming. New season of Barry on the way and Billions is as engrossing as ever. With Kevin Spacey in purgatory, Paul Giamatti is the apex actor of his generation.

Interesting note, Jason Reitman has taken back the Ghostbusters franchise. His father directed/produced the 80's films. He's cast Chief Burgle (Carrie Coon) to take part.

Due to The Death of Stalin I started watching Veep. Don't care for Julia Louis Dreyfus but Tim Simons as Jonah Ryan is hysterical.

 

[Smash]

I liked..... Hold The Dark, Hereditary and Wind River

bitter daisies - spanish police procedural - thoroughly enjoyed -

 

[Prelations2]

The trust - not a great Nicholas Cage movie but good to play in the background while you’re working.

Narcos has 3 seasons. (The Colombia Story)

Narcos Mexico is a new story (The Mexican story)

I had a hard time with the way Kike Camarena was portrayed. Love Michael Peña as an actor, but he was not very good as Kike. Specifically with the opening scene in the hotel room.

The Actor that portrayed El Chapo, was also not a good pick.

Narcos 3 was really good because it's the closest to the real life drama. Chepe and Pacho were real son's of bitches.

For the ones who love the Narco's series, I recommend Queen of the South.
Very good, currently 2 seasons only but apparently the third one is coming soon, from what I heard.

Thanks for the reco on Queen of the South.

As for me, I really like El Chapo. It is independent of the Narcos Series. It is riveting from the first episode, and not 'dramatic' as Narcos. It changes alot of the names, but it captures pretty many of the key moments, dynamics and events that occurred in Mexico. Definitely eye opening. And the complexity around it is really like high end Goodfather/Goodfellas mafia and narcos gangsterism. Another forum I was reading about it on said pretty much everything that happens in the show happened in real life which was unreal.

I recommend at least watching the 1st episode where a supposed meeting with Pablo Escobar and El Chapo takes place. It is unlikely it actually happened, but it basically symbolizes Chapos gutsy move to expand working with Pablo's cocaine to raise his stature in the cartel.

I watch it headphones with subtitles and dubbed in English, which is actually pretty funny to see the difference since each episode has a different person dubbing it. The words come out completely different but meaning is mostly similar.

I second The Russian Doll

 

[Robert Mugabe]

lots of good suggestions
I watched Triple nine, with woody harrelson. Very dark,dirty cop/Russian mob movie. Brutal fire fights. Filmed in very dark lighting, which seems to be in vogue now and pisses me off.
Iceman. About Richard Kuklinski. Scary hitman. Ray Liotta is in his usual fine form. Dark movie again.
