Netflix Recommendations Thread
- Thread starter Sundowner
- Start date
Also recommend. Third and I believe last season is done.
Yeah, caught the third and last series early this year on the BBC and its a really fitting way to finish it. Seeing Diana Rigg and her daughter in this is ever so slightly strange as I've been watching Diana in "The Avengers" reruns on TV. I had a slight tear in the eye at the very end
I also finished "Killing Eve" last night.
I'd best describe it like Hannibal Lector had a daughter Annabelle , and she grew up like the very twisted stepsister of Jason Bourne, but who is more into the killing, less of the grilling. I'd certainly never heard of the actress Jodie Comer until this series but she is simply mesmerizing as "Villenelle" and scary as hell. The rest of the characters are just as strong and interesting with an overall storyline that is quite gripping at times if not a little unoriginal.
The scripting and production are excellent, it really has this wierd "Avengers" vibe (the old British slightly surreal spy series, which I have been watching ,not Marvel ) that really works well with score. It kind of reminds me of "Nikita" but way in a darkly comic way. One of the better TV series I've caught this year.

There is something I have been wondering about with these Netflix series. Since they come out all at the same time, do they film them episode by episode or since they already have the whole story, do they just film it all at the same time? I notice each episode usually has a different director credited, so it would seem they are done one episode at a time. I'm just wondering why they would do it that way. Wouldn't it be cheaper to film all the scenes that require a certain set, then move on to the next set and film all the scenes with it and so on?

Not so much a Netflix recommendation as much as a Hulu recommendation but Stan Against Evil is something worth checking out if you have Hulu. It stars John C. McGinley as a retired sheriff of a small town whose sheriffs have all died early, often horrible, deaths since the town burned 100 something witches during the time of the Salem witch trials. He must work with his replacement, played by Janet Varney, to try to fight the evils that come to town.
If you like John C. McGinley, particularly in his role on Scrubs, you're going to love this show. As Stan, he's just as snarky and sarcastic, but add on top of that is a grumpy old man (you kids get off my lawn type) and a fair amount of non-PC attitude and you get Stan. And overall, the show has a bit of an Evil Dead Vibe in that's a horror comedy that doesn't try to take itself too seriously.

I feel the same way. I wouldn't say it's a great movie or anything, but there's just something about it I really like. I've watched it a few times since it came out.
