I'm currently half way through season 2 of Rake, the Aussie TV series. It the best thing I've watched on Netflix for a while. Thanks to whoever mentioned it earlier in this thread.

Agree totally, just finished S1 and loved it.

I'm a few episodes into Rake and am hooked.

Dave Chapelle has just released two, 1 hour long specials...so if he's your kind of thing they are very funny.

'Nise'...

One of the most moving films I've seen in a looooong time......

We've just got into Fargo, few years old but fantastic!

The Film Young Offenders is worth a watch. Entertaining and funny.

I watched half of this last night and agree, some proper laugh out loud moments

Anyone mentioned 12 Monkeys yet?

[Bullett]

Liked the movie and I watched first episode, didn't really grab me tbh.

Kajaki. Considered (and dismissed) watching it more times than I could count but was actually very good when I finally got around to watching it.

[Tankrizzo]

How have they got Iron Fist so spectacularly wrong?

A legendary martial artist, one of the best on the planet, trained by celestial monks, a living weapon - and the fight scenes are just utter pish.

Also the dialogue is atrocious.

Watched "The Last Patrol" on Netflix the other day.

It's a kind of follow-up by Sebastian Junger after his Restrepo and Korengal films. Basically he illegally hikes along Amtrak railway lines in Pennsylvania/New Jersey, camping along the way with a war photographer and two veterans talking about their experiences and how hard it is to reintegrate and live a normal life after combat.

It's low key, in some ways kind of incomplete because people drop out, but I enjoyed it and am reading his book "War" as a result, which is also very good.

I'm looking for a new series to binge on after finishing series 1&2 of Line of Duty.

It's a shame it's not on Netflix but you should definitely try and source series 3 from somewhere, the best series IMO, and Series 4 is starting soon on the BBC

On Netflix from today.

I've actually changed my view - am giving it two more episodes and then, if no major improvement, I'm oot!!!

[anonymous-user]

Tried Iron fist, as said, really rather crap, however, whoever recommended RAKE is a top shout!

The subtle Australian humour is akin to our own, only 3 episodes in and loving it!

I got a notification that line of duty s3 had arrived but it's not it showing up?

Same with me.

I haven't read the whole thread so this may be a programme that's already been mentioned.
Give The Ranch a try. Funny and poignant at the same time. Sam Elliot's accent can take a bit of deciphering but it makes my wife laugh out loud which is pretty impressive for an American show.

Another email today saying it was a mistake.

Flagging badly. Its like waiting for the punch line in what you think will be a good joke but it never arrives.

Still, the Good Guys and the Big Lebowski have popped up.

Just got the same this morning.

Turns out i'm up to date anyway and started Season 4

Schitt's Creek

Dad from American Pie plays obscenely wealthy businessman who loses everything overnight and has to move his family to a backward town he bought as a joke.

Pretty good, certainly raised a few laughs, onto season 2 at the moment.
