[TV] Netflix - What's good to watch?

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Never seen Black Mirror but it keeps popping up on here. Is it worth watching?

Certain episodes, definitely. To confirm, they are ALL standalone episodes and can be watched individually.

I would personally recommend;

San Junipero
Nosedive
White Christmas
Hang The DJ
Shut Up and Dance

They're hit and miss - a bit like Inside Number 9 (which I absolutely love overall) but well worth catching up on, yes

Some episodes are right up there as some of the best TV I’ve watched. Some episodes are incredibly dark and disturbing and you don’t necessarily know until the twist comes. There is an overlap between the two.

Some episodes are uplifting. Some episodes are quite clever and make a good point but aren’t as gripping as others.

I love it, but can see that it might not be for everyone.

Love Black Mirror, I think USS Callister and Joan is Awful are also good episodes.

Coming mid-Aptil, The Glass Dome looks pretty good stuff.

Currently watching Zero Day on Netflix.
Although some of the tech is more sci-fi than reality, if I remove my InfoSecOps day job brain and take it on entertainment value, I'm really enjoying it.

We’ve just started watching Zero Day, it’s really good.

Watched it in two sittings. Very good.

Ransom Canyon (Netflix's answer to Yellowstone) is unwatchable garbage.

It may not even be that good.

If it is available the wonderful The Day the Earth Stood Still., a Cold War film not a million miles away from Trump's USA.

That is the B/W 1951 original, with Michael Rennie starring.

And not the dreadful 2008 remake 'starring' Keanu Reeves, an actor taking money on false pretences...

Michael Rennie was ill the day the earth stood still, but he told us where we stand…

Secrets We Keep (Reservatet) - Thurs 15 May

When the young Filipino au pair Ruby disappears from one of Denmark’s most affluent neighbourhoods north of Copenhagen, the neighbour, Cecilie, becomes convinced that something has happened to her.

Cecilie’s own au pair, Angel, begins to investigate the rumours circulating among the area’s many au pairs, while suspicions of a crime grow. However, the case of the missing foreigner is a low priority for the police, and the newly minted investigator Aicha needs all the assistance she can get. Cecilie and Angel are ready to help, and gradually the power structures and privileges within the beautiful homes start to be exposed.

Yet, Cecilie’s commitment to uncovering the truth is put to the test when Ruby’s disappearance reveals connections reaching into Cecilie’s own family. She is forced to confront her blind spots and view her family and the environment in which she is raising her children in a whole new light.

Got about 5 minutes in to that before realising that it was a trash soap opera and turning it off.

Another in the excellent Turning Point series imo, bits of this one are particularly salient to current world affairs.

Started watching El Eternauta as I had zero else to warch of interest. It's Argentinian post apocalypse alien invasion sci-fi. Didn't think much to begin with as struggled with the subtitle so I switched to English language and just 'sort of' watched. Now I'm hooked. It racks up the sense of doom brilliantly and you just know that by the end of series one you've just scratched the surface of how bad it's going to get.
No wonder the comic book, written in the 50's, is huge in its homeland.

Unsure if this has already been commented on but “ Suspect” on Disney + is the story of the Met Police shooting Jean Charles Menesez in the aftermath of the 7/7 bombs . A tale of hair trigger jumpIness official bungling and a cover your ass attitude afterwards .
I needed to watch.

Just binged it and you're right, really good ( though I prefer subs not dubs )

Bits of Starship Troopers, Dawn of the Dead and Invasion of the Bodysnatchers , which was nice !
