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.

Yeah was a great find - came across it randomly on Netflix. If you haven't seen Coherence yet, then you will almost certainly like that one too! Very similiar setup but on a different subject matter.

There is a documentary about a person who impersonated Rockefeller descendent, looks good.

Watched The Invitation last night. Great movie, really liked it! Thank you for the recommendation!

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!

2 more series 'confirmed'

Series 3 of Bojack Horseman has come out. I know not everybody likes it, but I do.

Just checked the email, July 22nd, so not out yet.

Love Archer but BJH didn't work for me. Watched a couple of episodes and just didn't find it funny.

Recently watched Arrested Development for the first time and enjoyed it. Currently giving Lilyhammer a go, and although it's horribly contrived I must say I'm enjoying the characters and premise.

Will give Spotless a look next based on reviews above.

Marco Polo Series 2 is up. Watched the first episode, seems as though it will be as good as the first.

Stumbled upon Head 2 Head.

An American car show where they take a car and put it up against a competitor. Some great track and open road shots, with a real emphasis on how some of them sound.

Just seen 'Rebirth'. An interesting film, one that I would recommend however was a little let down by the ending. However as a whole it is very good.

This film is like a cross between 'The Game', 'The Cube' and perhaps the underlying metaphor of 'Fight Club'.

Season 4 of 'Orange is the New Black' is very good.

Part of the Motor Trend content that I've noticed going up on Netflix. If it's like the Roadkill stuff there's far more content on YouTube.

Currently working my way through season 3 of orphan black.

It's such a great show-can be quite dark at times though.
The performance from tatiana maslany (the lead actress) is quite extraordinary.

Recently I found Spotless which is very good as others have said. It wasn't what I expected at all.

Arrested Development is quite good. Only 30mins an episode. Quite a quirky comedy by US standards.

I also watched the first 3 series of Person Of Interest, and now watching series 4 recorded from Channel 5.

Jericho was a bit cheesy but watchable. Sort of reminded me of Under the Dome.

The Legend Of Barney Thomson was quite a dark but funny in places film with Robert Carlyle, Martin Compston and James Cosmo.

Just started watching Stranger Things tonight too. Looks excellent so far. Love the 80's throwback and that theme music.... simply sublime.

[NordicCrankShaft]

Just watched Only The Dead, a very difficult watch especially that ending. Wow.

I watched the 8 min teaser that was on Facebook and gripped. Another thing to annoy the wife with "You're constantly watching Netflix"

Power starts back soon as well.

I thought the bit with the dead, not quite dead Afghani was about as bad as it gets.

I found myself really torn at that part. When they were saying "Give him aid, but not too much". I didn't know what way to think. He was never going to survive with half of his missing.

That noise will never be forgotten.
