Best stuff on Netflix

I watched Happy Valley. Really glad i did. Cool gritty little crime show. For fans of the Fargo series (and movie of course), check it out.

I watched most of this back in the day, but haven't watched any since. For whatever reason I did like it better than any of the other Star Trek shows (other than classic Trek which is in a category of its own).

I think it hits the exact right mix of serialization vs. episodic adventures. Other series tilt really far in one direction or the other.


Let me know if there are any I haven't seen that I really ought to, keeping in mind that I generally only watch R-rated movies in edited form (i.e. not on Netflix).

Obviously I think they're all great. I rated them 5 stars!

For non-rated R stuff (and I had to look that up as I generally have no idea what the rating on a film is) I'd recommend for you:

Stand By Me: I have never met a person who has a negative opinion (of course that person will now comment). EDIT: I looked it up and was astonised that it's rated R. This is an example of a time that the rules regarding ratings are ludicrous. This is entirely for swearing. That is a thing that kids do. The same is true for The One I Love. No nudity, no violence. Probably uses the f-word five times so it gets slapped with R.

Departures: Rated PG-13. Here's the Roger Ebert review of the film. He used to show it at Ebert Fest regularly.

Purple Rose of Cairo: Simply magical.

In looking over the list it appears most of what you've missed was due to rating. That's too bad for you.
 
I don't understand the R rating for the F word. I went to my daughter's jr high school and sat waiting to talk to a counselor and heard the F word with great regularity as the kids changed classes. Makes no sense.

Also, why is the original Matrix rated R? Never understood that. The worst thing they say is G-Damn and there is virtually no blood and guts violence and no sex. Hell for every factor the Walking Dead is worse. Makes no sense at all.

Who is Zed? Zed is dead. That one right there is the best lol...or... please, with sugar on top, clean the ****ing car.

"Does he look like a bitch?" and "English mother****er, do you speak it?" are tied for the best quotes in the movie.
 
Also, does anyone else find Bruce Willis's girlfriend in PF to be incredibly hot? French girls are the best.

I don't have netflix my brother does, he said to watch The Killing as it is kind of like True Detective. Anyone seen it?

Watched the first two seasons of Peaky Blinders, it was good.

Watch The Killing starting with season one, episode one. There's no other way to watch it. Great acting and cinematography. Keeps you very intrigued. I won't tell you the downsides of it though. But it's very good stuff.

I was surprised when the murder didn't get solved at the end of season one... I think a lot of people were. But after that initial "WTF? I thought this case was going to end now," I enjoyed the first two seasons. Pretty compelling stuff. Very dark -- not just in tone, but literally the color palette and lighting in the show are very dark and muted all the time. I'm honestly not sure if there's a single non-overcast sky in the entire series.

Started watching season three and never finished. Didn't hate it, just didn't draw me in as much. I may still go back and finish it.
 
what you guys think about Hemlocks Grove? Pretty weird stuff but I enjoyed it. Hope they will make season 3...

Not to get too far off topic, but here is an opinion about R rated movies for mormons.

I share Card's opinion in nearly all respects. President Benson's comments which get quoted from time to time were directed solely at the youth. Consequently I don't look down on any adult LDS who choose to watch R-rated movies... but have decided my own life is better when I abstain from them. It's a personal, not a global, stance of mine.

I've often wondered the same. Seems like the typical PG-13 movie.
 
Totally weird but super silly and funny. Rated R for those that care
