Tonight I watched 'Look Who's Back' based on an earlier recommendation in this thread. It was absolutely brilliant. Really funny and very clever, it would make a great film to study at A-level/University.

It's based on Hitler coming back to modern day Germany, however the only drawback is subtitles.

is it on UK netflix?

Watched this last night and really enjoyed it. Laughed all the way through.

I did a bit of reading about the film after watching it and seemingly all the street interviews were real. They took four bodyguards to ensure his safety then just let him wander around the city streets while being filmed. The actor said that when they got talking, lots of people forgot that he was just a man in make up and a costume and they really opened up about their political views and attitudes.

I watch very few series', but had been enjoying Limitless on Sky. However, it seems that it won't be having a second season.

Is there anything on Netflix that might appeal? I don't like too much drama/'soap' effects and drawn out stuff (eg The Walking Dead) and find love interests/scenes unnecessary. Obviously Limitless is fairly light hearted so doesn't need to be particularly realistic.

A nice soundtrack would be good, which Limitless manages too. Cheers..

Spotless was a brilliant watch!

A great black comedy at times and equally gruesome at times.

Thanks for the reply.

Without wanting to be overly dismissive I think that while I'd enjoy watching most of those, Daredevil is perhaps the only one that might fill the void.

Was recommended to me by a work colleague yesterday, I was day off today so I've managed to watch 4 and a half episodes; it's brilliant.

Anybody watched head2head yet ?

Not sure if Iv got American Netflix or if it's just been added, but there's 12 episodes of motoring head2head action.

Loving the pbs documentaries, reminds me of good old fashioned educational programming.

Currently watching Tesla: Master of lightning.

If you like electricity its worth watching

Noticed it too, once this tesla show ends I am planning to watch it

[Bullett]

A very secret service
French (so subtitles) spy drama/comedy some espionage stuff but mostly office politics and correctly submitting your expenses.
Quirky and French.

Spotless was really good. Watched first series over the weekend.

Is there a second season coming?

[anonymous-user]

Doomsday bunkers. One guy had 10,000 rounds. Not bad, a good background watch.

Not read the whole thread so someone may have already suggested it but Peaky Blinders is a great series.

Only series 1&2 on Netflix currently so I had to download series three. I hope they make more!

Just seen 'The Invitation'. Highly recomemded - a slow burn, claustrophobic psychological film.

Kind of reminded me of 'Coherence' - a dinner gathering in California of friends and all does not seem right...

Thanks for the recommendation. Just finished watching it, brilliant film! You are right about it being a slow burn but well worth it.

Being somewhat (read: A decade) behind the times, we're currently watching Prison Break. Epic stuff.
