[REQUEST] Shows with really good set designs and backdrops (Not cgi, green screen or visual effects)

I mean actual materials gone into making the sets. I have absolutely loved the sets of bridgerton so maybe sets like those but it shouldn't be green screen or anything it should be real.

[Discussion] Wyatt Earp and the Cowboy War

This is a docu-series reenacting the events surrounding the shootout at the O.K. Corrall. It focuses on the Earps (Wyatt and his brothers Virgil and Morgan) and the Cowboys that they were fighting. It's narrated by Ed Harris.

This series is great. The acting is good, the narration is awesome, the story is told extremely well and in an extremely entertaining way that keeps you engaged. There's side stories about JP Morgan and his efforts to consolidate the railroads, love triangles, mob bosses, corrupt politicians, and lots of historical context.

My favorite part is Doc Holiday. A former dentist turned drunken gunfighter that just kinda hangs out around Wyatt after saving Wyatt's life and beginning a lifelong friendship.

Highly recommend this show. Check it out!

[REQUEST] Does anyone remember a Netflix series about cults

There was a series on Netflix a while back about different cults and murders. I can't remember the name of it for the life of me. I wanted to see if it was still on there.

[REQUEST] Looking for the name of a true-crime documentary

I watched this a long time ago, but just can't remember the name. It's a documentary about a man who kidnaps/seduces women and coerces them into cutting off contact with their family and uses them to extract as much money as possible. One of the women's dad goes all out in trying to find his daughter and save her from this man. WHAT IS THE DOCU CALLED? It's NOT the tinder swindler

[Request] Need documentary recs-preferably true crime and preferably ones that aren’t too graphic.

To give you a taste of things I’ve liked, but also hopefully give some of you a few good recs of my own, here are some of my favorites:

Trial 4 (I know it’s not traditional true crime, and more of a courtroom/justice documentary, but it’s one of my favorite documentaries)

Trial By Media

Making a Murderer

Tiger King (the first one)

The Jinx

The Innocent Man

Icarus (again, not classic True Crime, but still revolves around crime and illegal activities)

The John Wayne Gacy Tapes

Waco: American Apocalypse

Unabomber In His Own Words

Murder Among The Mormons

American Manhunt: The Boston Marathon Bomber

Fear City

Sins of Our Mother

Who Killed Malcolm X

Meltdown Three Mile Island

The Devil Next Door

Killer Sally

Inside The Mind of Aaron Hernandez

Harley & Katya (not true crime, but very dark)

The Hatchet Wielding Hitchhiker

Fyre

Turning Point: 9/11 and The War on Terror

Curry & Cyanide

Murder in a Courtroom: Indian Predator

Ice Cold: Murder, Coffee, and Jessica Wongso

Gladbeck: The Hostage Crisis

Strong Island

Aftershock: Everest and the Nepal Earthquake

American Nightmare

American Murder

I’ve also watched pretty much every documentary there is on Jonestown.

The only documentaries I absolutely don’t want to watch are Wild, Wild Country, The Staircase, and Time: The Kalief Browder Story. I tried multiple times but I couldn’t get into WWC, and I’ve already seen The Staircase and it was infuriating imo. As for Time, it was just too deeply upsetting and it took a huge toll on me mentally when I first watched it.

Thank you and I hope you guys like my recs!

[Discussion] Fisk - A hidden 30-minute gem!

How has no one mentioned this show before? (I’m sorry if you have and I missed it!)

It’s an Australian legal show. But it’s not a high stakes courtroom drama. It’s about a suburban probate law firm. (Money and people dying).

The banter between the characters is amazing, and the jokes keep coming. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a new comedy show.

[request] Should I keep watching breaking bad?

I’ve seen a lot of discourse online that breaking bad is one of the best shows ever made and I just don’t see it yet? I am on episode 4, and my usual rule is “if I’m not invested after 3 episodes I should stop watching”. This disappoints be because of how popular it is, does it get way better and is it worth pushing through? I feel like a show labeled “one of the best ever made” should be interesting from the very beginning

[REQUEST] I need help trying to find a movie I can't remember the name of.

My memory of this movie is pretty bad, so bare with me.

I think the movie was in German.

The main character was a teenage age (or early 20s) girl who had a troubled life.

She meets a somewhat older man who she is romantic with.

She later in the move goes to a nightclub and meets another man who she is...also romantic with, she then sends a photo/video to the previously mentioned man to anger him.

The movie has a very gritty, dark atmosphere.

The movie is broken up with her reading a poem that I think was about the sea.

I'm sure it was on netflix around the same time as Fishtank and Copenhagen, It has a similar theme to those movies.

[Request] Looking for series with the same cozy feeling as Gilmore girls

I absolutely adore the cozy vibe in Gilmore girls and I need something similar to watch! I don't really care too much for the plot, but I do care about the characters. GG nailed the atmosphere, but went a bit overboard with annoying characters, otherwise I would just rewatch it.

[request] is Gilmore Girls worth the time?

I enjoyed the first few episodes because of the feel-good vibes but I’m now on S2E20 and I’m starting to think that the characters are just pathetic. Rory is selfish, she cheats on Dean, and feeling no remorse about it. She only thinks highly of herself. Lorelei is pathetic & selfish too, wants all the attention, doesn’t really care about others.

Does the show/characters get better? Should I continue watching it or just choose a different series? What would you recommend?

Thank you.

[Request] Looking for mystery shows that focus on the mystery

I really don't know how to explain what I'm looking for other than giving examples.

One of my favorite shows, "Chernobyl", did this mystery vibe thing really well. I don't know what it was exactly but the atmosphere of the entire thing had me interested in more the entire time. Even when they were just talking.

Another show that did mystery well was "Leave the world behind". I really disliked the weird focus they had on some characters for seemingly no reason but I LOVED the mystery. Wanted to know what was going on throughout every minute of the 2:30h movie.

"Severance" is also a show that did mystery sooo well. One of my goat shows.

"10 cloverfield lane" was also quite interesting when it focused on the mystery but I didn't like the characters that much.

What I'm not looking for is shows like "3 body problem", "Safe", "Red Eye",… I never felt the vibe of a bigger mystery going on in those shows. 3 body problem was a bit too on-the-nose, Safe was more about the characters than the mystery and Red Eye was more focused on the "mystery" of who did it than something bigger.

Not sure if this gives a good picture of what I'm looking for but maybe you understand what "mystery" I'm looking for. If it kept you interested in what the fuck was going on, I wanna hear it :D

[Discussion] Developing a tool to let you watch a movie together with friends in different locations - HELP

As the title says, I'm in the process of developing a chrome addon that allows you watch a perfectly synced movie on netflix with your partner(s)/friend(s)/club.

There's an expansion already planned to accommodate more streaming services such as Disney and Hulu.

Are there any other tools or functionalities you'd like to see in it?

How much would you be willing to pay for this service, if at all?

[request] I need a who done it kind of show that grabs your attention on the first episode.

I just recently finished a good girls guide to murder and loved it. It kept me guessing from the start. I want to know similar shows to that as well. Also it doesn’t necessarily have to be on Netflix either.

[REQUEST] The app is on the side on my TV

Hello, I have the Netflix app on my smart TV, but since I've updated it, the app shows on the side (like it would on the phone, except my TV is in landscape mode, obviously). It turns when I put on a show, but it's still very annoying to navigate. Any advice?

[Request] series with short episodes!

Does anyone have any recommendations for shows that are 20-30mins long per episode? I have a hard time focusing on longer lol

I love crime & comedy, but I’m open to any genre. Doesn’t matter how many seasons as long as it wasn’t cut short with an unsatisfying ending.

It would be helpful if you could include a mini synopsis or why you like it! Canadian flix btw

[Request] Is Modern Family playing in your country?

I’ve been really wanting to watch Modern Family but I’m too lazy to go through the hassle of torrenting it. If you happen to know a specific country where it’s currently streaming, I’d love to just use a VPN to access it instead. Any suggestions on where I can find it?

[Discussion] Factual/Interesting non overly dramatic documentaries….New to Netflix

Never really been a huge fan of streaming services because most shows I like are documentaries (not sensationalized ones or overly dramatic) but ones that are true to the subject nature and just factual. Netflix really never appealed to me just because I work a lot and never have time nor interest in original fictional tv shows/series.

Been reading how they actually have a lot of documentaries so I thought I would try it out for a month. What are some good documentaries that are not overly dramatic and just factual and informative. It doesn’t matter what kind really, just don’t like overly dramatic music every 2 mins and not docs that try to make something seem more dramatic than it really is. I do know they stretch out many documentaries into multiple episodes which I guess is fine….right now watching “The Trials of Gabriel Fernández”

TIA
