Took me a second try to get into Madmen, but this show is top-notch in every way. I would put it at the front of the second tier of all-time greats. The Wire and Sopranos (and Curb!) are the only shows I’m comfortable saying are better. Every single detail is placed with care and meaning. The characters are nuanced and real. The set design and insight into that era is incredible. It’s funny, sentimental and dramatic. I’m 3 seasons in and I’m hooked hard and trying to pace myself.

An absolute must watch for anyone that likes good drama. Its up there with Breaking Bad, it’s just not about cooking meth, its about cooking the very fabric of capitalist society.

How did you miss this. Now you must name other all time greats that you have missed.

I unfortunately watched the entire series to this point in 5 days, and now have to wait like a sucker for S4. Good stuff

Np.

Australian netflix doesn't have Don't Breathe. Thankfully Money Heist is here so looking forward to that.

Mad Men elite. If anyone somehow has never watched it do so immediately.

new jim Jeffries special is available and ****ing hilarious

How It Ends is like a movie written by an alien who only learned about human interaction from other movies. Just absolutely a baffling experience. It's well shot with some interesting action scenes, but Netflix's internal house style of movies that completely abandon traditional narrative structure in favor of an series of coincidences and events that provide the thinnest possible setup for the scenes that they thought would look cool is annoying as ****. Learn how to ****ing write.

Also if you're making a disaster movie and not trying to set some smaller human drama in that context, if you're just making a straightforward disaster flick, there's no real reason to make the nature of the disaster a mystery unless the mystery is itself the plot. Like you can make a movie about a mysterious disaster, but the answer to "what kinda disaster is this" needs to be the actual plot of your movie and your characters are gonna need to be scientists or government employees or something trying to answer it.


This was just baffling. The whole movie should've been the third act, or just the first two acts, but together? What the ****.


This makes The Day After Tomorrow and 2012 look like masterpieces.

funny I literally just logged on here because I just finished Mad Men. Absolutely amazing. I love the final season and last episode was amazing.

now watching Staircase and am bored already

+1 to whoever recommended the Brian Regan episode of Comedians in Cars getting Coffee.

I like Brian Regan anyway, but the chemistry between those two during the episode made for a great watch.

Really enjoyed the invitation, thanks for that recommendation. I guess I like those kinds of movies.

Re other discussion, Don't Breathe is great...in fact if you liked that you might like the invitation I suppose.

A Very English Scandal on amazon prime was a really good. top acting. dark comedy. only 3 episodes and it went quick. 5/5 bags of popcorn

Two none-Netflix series that i really enjoyed:
Counterpart - J.K Simmons is great in his role(s).

C.B. Strike - Another J.K in this one. Rowling has written the books and produced it.

+1. fantastic.

It’s like someone found out 2 weeks before the due date that they had to shoot and write a movie. Villains are completely 1 dimensional and might as well been high functioning zombies. I kept watching because I thought, it can’t be this bad the whole way through, there will be some redeeming quality eventually and it never happened.

I kind of watched it, and when it ended, I wasn't really sure what was going on. it seemed like a giant chunk of what I'd expect from a movie like that just wasn't there

spouse and i watched Don't Breathe last night because of previous recommendations in here...very enjoyable. great tension created in a few scenes.

First two episodes are pretty boring, but I was glad I stuck with it. It's a really interesting case and I'm still undecided on whether or not he did it.

"Who Took Johnny" was really good but really, really ****ed up. Apparently in the 80s you could just ship a kid and the police weren't legally required to start looking for them for 72 hours. The mother of the kid is completely crazy, but who wouldn't go crazy after their kid got sold into sex slavery.

Slightly off-topic:

CNN.com: America has just one Blockbuster left

Thanks for the Money Heist recommendation, I'm 3 episodes in and thoroughly enjoying it. I've got a thing for the lead Ursula Corbero, she really has something.

Don't Breathe is neither Netflix nor Amazon, so it can FOAD as far as I'm concerned.

The show starts off pretty great, but by the end of season 1 becomes a run of the mill telenovela with different love interests etc. If they had shortened it to 1 season and stuck to just the crime itself it would've been great.

Netflix has almost no good theatrically released films, I really don't get why anyone pays for it, though they do have some good stuff they produce themselves.

Don't know much about what Amazon has, but I don't know of anyone who gets it for the movies either, I thought people who order lots online get prime to save on shipping costs and then the streaming service is a small bonus.

Netflix is definitely worth the price from their original shows, not to mention all the stuff that they have that's not original that you can stream like new girl.

You're def correct about Amazon, although they have some awesome originals and stuff that's hard to find on other services.
