[ 2016 - to present ] What is the best movie and or Tv series you have watched on Netflix or Amazon Prime??

[Makai Guy]

Just started The Kominski Method on Netflix with Michael Douglas, Alan Arkin, and Nancy Travis. All three stars have been favorites of mine for years. It's a half hour dramedy from Chuck Lorre that looks like it is going to deal with things to which aging retirees can relate. I've only seen the first two episodes so far (too much football and basketball I gotta watch this weekend) but I enjoyed it and want to see more. If the second episode is any indication looks like there will be lots of familiar faces making cameo appearances.

So glad you loved Bosch, which I recommended on this thread back in March 2017. You will be glad to know that Titus Welliver has signed up for Season 5, which will premiere sometime in 2019. By the way, now that you're hooked on the Amazon Prime series, I highly recommend the book series to you. The books are outstanding, and you get to know Harry Bosch in a much more intimate way.

I’m completely hooked on the book series! Thanks for a great recommendation!

I just watched an enjoyable film via Amazon Prime, The Last Movie Star. It's a sweet and pleasant recent film starring an aging Burt Reynolds and Ariel Winter (who plays Alex, the brainy daughter on Modern Family).

I was going to wait until I got through the complete series, but since this thread popped up today I'll comment. I am 9/13 of the way through the Spanish show Money Heist on Netflix. It is about a very well planned out robbery at the Spanish mint. By now I have more or less become accustomed to the weird English dubbing, which is somewhat off putting, but I am enjoying the story line and most of the characters. I have been making my way through The Good Cop as well. As soon as House of Cards last season hits on Friday I will watch that all the way through and come back to these.

I thought Money Heist was very entertaining with great character development. When you get done with that, there is another Spanish series (probably by the same producers and with several of the same actors) called Elite, about a Prep school with 3 new “scholarship” students who try to fit in to the Elite students, amongst a murder investigation. The English dubbing is better in this one.

Thanks for that, I'll add it to my list!

We enjoyed The Christmas Chronicles on Netflix. Santa's elves are a little creepy, but overall a good show but I likely wouldn't watch it again like other Christmas movies. Cliff watched it to the end which says something. He didn't last 15 minutes for Black Panther. There is a "joke" at the end of Christmas Chronicles. I started hooting because I saw it coming before the big reveal. Had to explain it to Clliff.

Cliff should ask for his 15 minutes back....Black Panther was (by far) the worst of the MCU movies made since The Incredible Hulk and a complete waste of Chadwick Boseman.

We watched Bird Box last night. It was "fine", a good way to spend a couple hours. At least we didn't have to spend 30 minutes discussing "what was the point of the movie, did we just lose two hours of our life for this" like we did after Roma.

 

[CalGalTraveler]

Just finished binge watching Narcos Mexico. Well done.

Finished Bosch as posted earlier, and still miss it. Wow, what a great series, can't wait to get more when it's released.

Since then we've watched a couple of things, all good, but we're currently loving The Five.

 

[clifffaith]

Dumplin' on Netflix. Fabulous! Recognized the title character actress as having just seen her in Bird Box, she fared much better in this one.

On Amazon Prime, The Marvelous Mrs Maisel, season 2 was terrific and even topped season 1. I can’t believe we have to wait a whole year for the next installment.

I know this tread doesn’t mention Hulu but if anyone has it, The Handmaids Tale is very good (and disturbing). I have 2 episodes to go in season 2 and am hooked on it. Hulu had a great Cyber Monday sale for $.99/ month for a year (annoying commercials included) which was well worth it just to watch this series. Lots of other content I have started exploring too! More TV series than any other major service.

Dexter, House of Cards & Bloodlines

Please ban Netflix. I live in Silicon Valley and have been aware of this forever but it finally made the mainstream media. It is true. We usually only watch Apple TV or Amazon Prime anyway. We canceled Netflix for the final time today.

interesting article on Netflix!

For her 10th Birthday, We gave our granddaughter some of the Lemony Snicket books. The series is called “A Series of Unfortunate Events”. She adores them! Netflix has several seasons of this excellent adventure, starring Neil Patrick Harris, as the nefarious Count Zolof. Just for fun, after she kept saying, “Grandma, you have to watch it!”, I gave it a try! I loved it!

If you have any kids/grandkids/nieces and nephews ages 8-14, have them give it a try!

I watched quite a bit of the Handmaids Tale. I finally had to quit because it got too disturbing for me.

No don’t! See the recent article I posted!

This article requires a subscription. Can you share with us why we should boycott Netflix?

Agree completely about Roma, what a slow boring movie!

I kept hoping it would explain just what the political unrest was all about in Mexico at the time.

Given it was the highest grossing film of the year, I think there are probably at least a few people who disagree with you. Given that, it seems relatively likely to me that you'll see a Black Panther sequel within the next few years.

I on the other hand wish I had done more research first and watched it in 70mm at the Brooklyn Drafthouse or watched it as part of the retrospective on him at Lincoln Center this month.

Bandersnatch was interesting, along with the rest of Black Mirror.

For the many here who have sung the praises of Bosch, you'll be glad to know that Season 5 will be released on Amazon Prime Video on April 19. Titus Welliver continues in the title role. And for anyone looking for some great binge-watching while you're snowed in over a weekend, I highly recommend Seasons 1-4.

Thanks for the heads up! We really enjoyed the first four seasons and have been waiting for the return.
