Netflix - What gems have you found? (NO SPOILERS) (Vol. 2)

[Adenauer]

Mule.

Typically Clint Eastwood, guessed it was also directed by him from the music very early on, we enjoyed it, 8/10, even with the bad acting from a few of the gangstas

[generationx]

I watched The Arrival last night, reviewed on the "What Films Have You Watched" thread.

TL;DR: It's not a gem.

Yep and Tomahawk steaks!

Good but not great. At almost 4 hours it was over long by about 2 hours in my opinion.

The Haunting of Bly Manor - the English posh accent by almost everyone is grating.

First 25 mins and it’s like one of those cheap American made for tv films that channel 5 show.

It’s shocking, it’s really unbearable to watch/listen. Definitely won’t be finishing it.

The IMDb ratings are fantastic. Maybe I’m missing something.

Have you guys watched Haunting of Hill House? It's the same people and that was very good, I'd be disappointed if this one is st

Two episodes in. The faux accents are fecking irritating, the kids are irritating, it’s meant to be 1987 but looks like the 50s, far too much PC nonsense going on and Carla Gugino is barely in it at all so far. Hill House was good this is not.

Yep and Tomahawk steaks!

Waitrose butcher counter has them, I tried them but they were so fatty I thought I’d throw up. The real deal has to be better than that.

My parents cooked some Jacob Ladder ribs when me and my brother were allowed to visit during the summer (damn covid). None of us had eaten them before so were a little concerned there might not be enough meat. Holy fk I have never eaten so much beef in all my life! just an endless supply of tender juicy beef. They got them from a local butcher and were worth every penny

Yep!

You really, really don't need a 'rack' of beef ribs!

Tomahawk steaks need a reverse sear ideally - indirect or low oven until 5-10 degrees below finished temp. This let's the fat properly render down.

Then, rest for a couple of minutes whilst you get either coals or iron griddle red hot (as hot as physically possible) - and seer each side quickly to colour up and provide that extra flavour.

£15 for 1kg of beef ribs, from a (not cheap) online butcher. Plenty for a main course for 2 people. £100 must be enough 14 people!

Enjoyed the programme and looking forward to another series. Two of the presenters were making what must be the easiest money ever!

Never heard the term ‘reverse sear’ ...just looked it up......lightbulb moment...guess it’s a little like the slow low temp phase when cooking duck..
Thank you Sway.

You are more than welcome - and yes, same principle as duck, give the fat time to render down and infuse the meat with flavour without having a nasty chewy fat layer or overcooking the meat itself.

Below Deck.

Crew on a motor yacht pandering to the whims of unspeakably obnoxious rich charter clients, quarrelling, shagging, working and hoping for outrageous tips.

Strangely compelling viewing.

I've been watching the 'Dark Tourist'. Documentary where the host travels to various sightseeing places which aren't usually found on TripAdvisor.
