Also on Netflix the GLOW documentary. I recommend it after watching the show. https://www.netflix.com/watch/70296765?trackId=13752289&tctx=0%2C1%2C9f9c4979465f4b2790d6b46b595223bd84f26495%3Af72dae230263a3567cc94ad29c463a577109ceca

World of Tomorrow - Oscar nominated film from Don Hertzfeldt that follows a little girl who's brought on a mind-bending journey into the future guided by her clone descendant.

The Secret of Kells

An absolutely beautiful movie about a young boy, the nephew of an abbott, who must brave an enchanted forest for seeds to complete a legendary book after his Irish abbey is attacked by Vikings.

Jurrasic Park(1993) Stephen Speilberg's iconic adaptation of Michael Crichton's novel on the dangers of genetic engineering was a box office smash featuring stunning visual effects.

There are also 5 other versions of the same show for each different region, near as I can tell. Same competitors and runs with different focus on the hosts for respective countries. Ultimate Beastmaster Mexico also shows up on US Netflix if it's your native language.

"Skins" Has Got To Be The Best Thing I've Seen On Netflix In A Long Time. Effy, Cassie & Gracey Make It All Worth While.

Skins is a British teen drama that follows a group of teens in Bristol, South West England, through their two years of Sixth form (equivalent to junior and senior year of high school in the US) at Roundview College.

The show has been considered controversial due to its exploration of issues such as dysfunctional families, mental illness (including eating disorders), sexual orientation identity, substance abuse and death revolving around teenagers.

The show was created by father and son television writers Bryan Elsley and Jamie Brittain for Company Pictures.[3]

The show premiered on E4 on January 25, 2007 and ended August 5, 2013.

The show is known for its casting of amateur young actors and young writers and for entirely replacing the cast every two series, when the characters graduate from sixth form.

Due to the popularity of the show, a movie was planned, and a Skins American adaptation was created by MTV to varying degrees of success, as the movie was eventually shelved while the US adaptation was canceled after one season.

Saw this at a festival last year and was blow away. So tense and unrelenting. Really conveys a heightened sense of paranoia. Made some friends of mine watch and they said it haunted them for weeks. Now you can finally check it out on Netflix!

"Will and Eden were once a loving couple. After a tragedy took their son, Eden disappeared. Two years later, out of the blue, she returns with a new husband... and as a different person, eerily changed and eager to reunite with her ex and those she left behind. Over the course of a dinner party in the house that was once his, the haunted Will is gripped by mounting evidence that Eden and her new friends have a mysterious and terrifying agenda. But can we trust Will's hold on reality? Or will he be the unwitting catalyst of the doom he senses?"

Secrets of Great British Castles

Last night I watched the first two episodes about Dover Castle and the Tower of London. Very much a general audience history but enjoyable.

You should check it out. It was approved by the author, Susanna Clarke, and most reviews praised it for being a very close adaptation of a nearly unfilmable book. George R.R. Martin enjoyed it as well.

Also available in the US:

Louis Theroux: Twilight of the Porn Stars https://www.netflix.com/title/80139066?s=i

Louis Theroux: Miami Mega Jail https://www.netflix.com/title/80138504?s=i

I never thought I would see Louis Theroux's programs streaming legally in the US (YouTube excluded), which is insanely ironic seeing as almost all of his shows are based in the US. Hope this is a sign of things to come!

Netflix Trailer

This is a French series originally made by Arte, with Netflix securing worldwide rights, it has entered the catalogue two weeks ago. It randomly popped up on the Netflix front page for me and I decided to give it a try. I was up until 6am yesterday binging this.

I love everything about this show. The story is beautifully written, dialogues very kafkaesque, the humour is brilliantly and somewhat indistinguishably intertwined throughout the show, the camera work is stunning and the art & deco of the 1960s is on point. All of this really lets you enjoy the show how you want it, and you'll see in it what you like.

Apparently the new season is already in the making, no release date yet.

EDIT: I just finished it and the story is much deeper in the end than one could imagine watching the first episodes...

Betas on Amazon Prime

Easily the closest show to Silicon Valley, surprised no one else has mentioned it yet. Same premise as Silicon Valley and pre-dates it by a year.

I could personally show you, as could most of my somm friends. But in the virtual sense I would suggest the documentary "Somm" on Netflix. It's been suggested a few times in the comments, and I'd be curious to hear your opinion on it even if you hate it.

(Edit) This is a link to how a master sommelier tastes and evaluates wine. After a few thousand bottles you can use this to blind taste a wine with 70% accuracy. After a hundred thousand bottles and lots of studying, you can accurately determine everything on this list with 95% accuracy blind, and you have to in order to pass the Master Sommelier exam (there have only been 197 Master Somms in decades of giving the test).

I think a good movie for this theme would be 'Stake Land'(2010). It is an apocalyptic road movie. Directed by Jim Mickle, the movie as a very good on screen relationship between the two leads.

Well its long. Really long. But its free on amazon kindle.

Yes, definitely. But the some of the paid versions doesn't work either. I tried TunnelBear and it didn't work. Some Googling around and I found out that I needed to purchase an additional US based IP address for it to work. Guess Netflix's VPN recognition system works very well.

Never heard of Atlas (nor "IPvanisher," for that matter,) but I've had the best luck with ExpressVPN.

Which "community" chose Atlas? The reviews linked to on their (ahem, your) site aren't typical of the reviews I've found on real, actual review sites.

My conclusion? Spam.

There is an app for android called "Netflix Recommendations": https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=netflix.recommendations

What I like about it is that you get a direct link to watch a movie directly on your phone.

ABC NEWS did a deep dive podcast into his life. I haven't watched the Netflix show but the podcast was fascinating.

I love the show "Black Mirror" and think that there are some similarities between the story telling in these two shows. You miss a lot if you don't watch it through.

Watched The Amityville Horror with Ryan Reynolds last night. Not the freakest movie ever, but definitly a good watch. Built some tension, made me jump & made me giggle a little.

ok, as with others I was/am confused by it all but enjoyed the trip. here is a link that may help.

Still no answers but more for information and background.

I suggest you watch the movie first, stick with it and enjoy the weirdness.

Its already out on DVD if you want to invest, for me it's the kind of thing you need to see twice.

As someone who has visited Chernobyl 4 times I found it to be rather accurate and a very good watch.
