What's new

Netflix Originals, TV shows and Movies

Watched Trial By Fire.

After the deadly Uphaar cinema fire, two grief-stricken parents navigate the loss of their kids and a dogged fight for justice. Based on true events.

Very interesting.
 
Finished On My Block Freeridge ( which is the sequal to the original On my Block)

They Original was way better, however On My Block Freeridge was not bad either, takes a bit of getting into, but the last 2 episodes were really interesting, its a teen show, but a good one.
 
Watched Blacklight.

Typical Liam Neeson movie. I feel like it wasn't very good compared to other Neeson movies.
 
‘Waco: American Apocalypse’

The three-part series tells the story of Waco cult leader David Koresh and the violent siege that took place over 51 days in 1993.

Very interesting.

New show dropped today. A spectacular 3 part documentary series titled American Manhunt The Boston Marathon Bombing.

Found it so engrossing that I binge-watched and finished it. It goes go into great detail of how law-enforcement tracked down the bombers. I remember following every second of this incident live on twitter in 2013. Hard to believe it's been 10 years !

It is next on my List currently watching another Kuwait show called the cage, once I finish that I do have BEEF on my list, heard some good things about it.
 
Watching - Chimp Empire.

A vast community of chimpanzees thrives in a forest in Uganda, navigating complex social politics, family dynamics and dangerous territory disputes.

If anyone is into wildlife documentaries, this is for you.

Brilliant.
 
Finished Beef now, the way the story escalates into quite high-stakes danger from a simple comedic base is very good. Solid 7.5/10 show.
 
Quietly looking forward to the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers mini movie comeback, have added it to my list hoping no one noticed :yk2
 
Just started The Diplomat on Netflix.
Have seen the first episode and so far it's ok.

Finished both seasons of The Capture on BBC Player. This one I really enjoyed and would
recommend to everyone.

The Night Agent on Netflix is poorly acted, and the storyline is a bit out there but an enjoyable watch nonetheless.
 
Netflix to invest $2.5bn in new South Korea films and TV shows

Streaming giant Netflix says it will invest $2.5bn (£2bn) in South Korea over the next four years.

The firm's co-chief executive Ted Sarandos made the announcement after he met South Korea's President Yoon Suk-yeol in Washington.

Mr Yoon is currently on a state visit to the US where he is expected to meet President Joe Biden on Wednesday.

Netflix has seen success with South Korean productions, including the hugely popular show Squid Game.

Mr Sarandos said the money will be spent on making movies and television shows in Asia's fourth largest economy.

"We were able to make this decision because we have great confidence that the Korean creative industry will continue to tell great stories," he said.

The company was also "inspired by the President's love and strong support for the Korean entertainment industry and fuelling the Korean wave," Mr Sarandos added.

A Netflix spokesperson said the company did not "have anything to add at this time," when asked by the BBC about other potential investments in the region.

In 2021, South Korean-made Squid Game became Netflix's most-popular series of all time. It was streamed by 111 million users in the first 28 days after its launch.

The show tells the story of debt-ridden people competing for a huge cash prize in a series of South Korean children's games, with a deadly twist.

Earlier this year, South Korean reality show Physical 100 became the platform's most-watched non-English language show worldwide.

Good watch for true crime fans.
 
The sensational murder of India's best known crime reporter in June 2011 and the subsequent arrest of a female crime journalist on allegations of being involved in the murder had stunned the country.

Jyotirmoy Dey, popularly known as J Dey, was shot dead in Mumbai by men on motorcycles on orders from one of India's most notorious gangsters, Chhota Rajan - he was convicted in 2018 and is serving a life sentence for the killing.

But somehow, Jigna Vora, a newspaper journalist, got caught up in the storm and was charged - falsely - for involvement in the murder.

She spent over nine months in Byculla jail before being released on bail. A single parent to a 10-year-old boy, Ms Vora was acquitted in 2018 since the police failed to produce any evidence against her.

This story of a journalist's murder - and of another's wrongful confinement - is the subject of Scoop, a new webseries on Netflix that is wowing critics and viewers alike.

Based on Ms Vora's 2019 memoir - Behind The Bars In Byculla: My Days in Prison - Scoop is a gripping tale of a real-life crime, Mumbai's mafia and the role of the police and the press. Many of the real-life incidents have been replicated, but Ms Vora says "the series makers have exercised cinematic leverage".

As Ms Vora's screen avatar Jagruti Pathak, who lives by chasing scoops that would get her a byline on the front page, ends up in a prison cell with those she once reported on, she also begins to reflect on her life and priorities.

Ms Vora told the BBC that she's pleased with the way the series has turned out but watching it was difficult.

"It was like revisiting the whole trauma. It was difficult to see on screen what I went through, the humiliation and character assassination I faced. But I'm happy that the series got made because people needed to see the truth that I was not guilty.

A few months after J Dey's murder, rumours started swirling around that a female crime reporter was involved in the murder. Some of it was reported in the media, attributed to police sources.

"We were also wondering who it could be? It didn't even cross my mind that it could be me," she told me.

In October-end when one newspaper carried a report naming her, she says her first reaction was of shock. She then knew that her arrest was imminent - and she was arrested on 25 November.

"It was a very tough period for me, I was scared, I even thought of committing suicide, but my family inspired me to fight. They told me that if I killed myself, then people would think that I was guilty. If I wanted to clear my name, I had to fight."

J Dey's murder, Ms Vora says, changed her life forever. The police said she was involved with the underworld and had helped the murderers by providing them information about J Dey. She was charged under the draconian Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (Mcoca) - a law that carries the death penalty in serious cases.

The sinister attraction of Indian true crime shows

Some in the Mumbai press went after her, with many of her former colleagues taking a vicarious pleasure in her downfall. She was dubbed a murderer, a gangster's moll. They carried unverified stories, often attributed to "sources in the police", and criticised her for being "too ambitious".

"I think there's nothing wrong with being ambitious," she tells me. "But in my case it was used to portray me as a villain."

What hurt most, Ms Vohra says, was "when female colleagues and editors made disparaging remarks about me, saying that I was sleeping around with people to get stories, but I had no-one to tell my side of the story to".

The series captures the media circus as reporters hound her family, including her son. The child looks bewildered and terrified as TV cameras are thrust in his face, asking him about the alleged crimes of his mother.

Prison was "a very difficult phase of life, I think it would have been for anyone in my position", Ms Vora says. But the prison inmates, she adds, were very helpful and tried to cheer her up.

"The prison officials also treated me well, they'd counsel me telling me to take each day as it comes and that everything will be alright."

The 'dancing on the grave' murder that shook India
Ms Vora, who was cleared of all charges by the trial court and then the high court, says she has "no idea who fixed me".

"The only thing I know is that it happened - and I accept it as my karma. Now even if I do find out who fixed me, would I be able to change anything?" she asks.

While in jail, she says, she did a lot of soul searching and after being released on bail, she "started the process of healing myself".

"I started meditating and once out, I visited lots of temples and all that helped me gain my inner strength. I was always a believer, and now my faith in God increased."

Since it dropped on Netflix in early June, Scoop remains among the most popular shows in India - weeks after its release, it remains at number two in the list of top 10. It has also wowed critics who have described it as "a gripping tale of the fourth estate" and "a must watch for all journalists".

Filmmaker Hansal Mehta who directed Scoop says he had followed Ms Vora's case in 2011.

"But like all headlines, her story was replaced by some other headline. While it got confined to inside pages, she and her family bore the trauma of being labelled without judicial process," he told The Times of India.

In 2020, when Ms Vora's book was shared with him, he says he saw "the potential to engage with the audiences on a story that is both a cautionary tale and an important chronicle of our times".

Ms Vora says when she heard that Mr Mehta was going to be the director, "I knew that he would be able to do justice to my story". But, she says, she didn't expect this kind of response.

"People are sending me messages of love and respect on social media, they're telling me that this series has helped them see the truth, many are saying that I'm very strong - but what choice did I have?" she asks.

A tenacious reporter, Ms Vora had carved out a name for herself in crime journalism in just a few years, but after her stint in jail, she never returned to journalism. Today, she makes a living as a healer, working as an astrologer and a life coach.

The media trial that she faced more than a decade back - and the ones that take place every night in television studios where reputations are destroyed based on speculation and unsubstantiated allegations - make her uncomfortable.

Her story, she says, should serve as a lesson for the press to be careful because their reporting can destroy lives.

"The press is called the fourth estate - they are very powerful, they can make or break a person. I hope they understand the seriousness of the job that they do and mend their ways.

Have seen Scoop. Tremendous watch. Karishma Tanna was great as protagonist.
 
I am waiting for the fall of the house of usher [MENTION=137142]JaDed[/MENTION] Mike Flanagan's Netflix swansong before he moves to Amazon Prime, I'm hyped for this, it's based on a short horror story by Edgar Allan Poe and themes include isolation, madness and general Gothic influences from that time.
 
I've been watching Black Mirror.

How can I describe this? Weird, crazy, strange, brilliant.

Definitely worth a watch in my opinion.
 
Not sure what happened to the other TV show thread as I think this is for the Netflix garbage.

But the latest season of True Detective is class, part inspired by The Thing but grounded in Native American folklore, so rich in atmosphere; for that alone worth a look and visually it’s amazing
 
Not interested much in any genre except horror, action, mystery, and thriller. Romantic drama is not something I will waste my time on to watch. Would watch a biography instead like HACKSAW RIDGE or Oppenheimer.
 
I think they should leave airbender alone, the slapstick comedy and jokes that are amazing in anime were absolutely ridiculous in the show.
First 3 eps have been pretty poor, maybe its catered to Kids can’t tell anymore.

I enjoyed this, the guy from four lions surprised me, he has built a decent resume since then and performs pretty well as one of the leads here. Michelle Keagan character work was excellent. Nice winter watch.
 
Enjoying a pretty good space mystery thriller called Constellation from Apple, it has just come out; releases an episode each week
 
Netflix announces a sports documentary dedicated to India and Pakistan’s rivalry. The project titled ‘The Greatest Rivalry’ will be released soon whereas the teaser has been released on social media.

The first look starts with cricketing legends, Kapil Dev and Imran Khan, appearing with their World Cup trophies. The 1947 border is drawn in the video, which indicates that there will be a historical reference in the documentary.

The rivalry of Virender Sehwag and Shoaib Akhtar is seen. The cricket supporters have seen these two fight it out during their careers, and this project might have their point of view as well.

Used to discuss the Marvel Netflix in the start of this thread I think,
Jessica Jones Daredevil and Luke were good ones.
 
In terms of original content I have to say Hulu beats the hell out of Netflix.

The bear is easily the best show in last 2 years, and with Shogun already getting rave reviews another feather in their cap.

They definitely have better writers and patient producers.

Hopefully Disney doesn’t ruin them.

Watched the first episode of Shogun - 10/10, it’s incredible, on par if not better than other similar shows. The best comparison perhaps with Vikings. It’s not fantasy but the production values are similar to GOT and Rings Of Power.

Netflix is more of an archive of shows we loved to watch, and they justify the subscription for the replay value; e.g the animated Batman series they got the rights to more recently. But purely on originals, they have the lowest quality output, they even let go of Mike Flanagan and Fincher may not be too far behind. The WWE deal is a landmark collab though but I think the time for expecting elite originals from them has passed, Apple are catching up fast as well, I’ve not watched a bad original on there yet

It has been such a while, but from the top of my head it was not memorable.

The first seasons of Daredevil, Punisher, Jessica Jones and Luke Cage were all high quality, and to be honest on the whole the series for these were pretty good.

I watched The Iron Fist but that was a bit of a botch and Defenders should have been a bit better

I knew you would love the wwe deal, and in honesty its a great deal because Netflix is not meant for live sport as such and Wwe has value without being live.

I agree on originals, Netflix’s value is more on tech , everyone underestimated the cost of tech, Netflix is literally the company that made micro services popular.

Peacock which has the best content is going through loss due to glitchy app and what not.

They will absorb a lot of the WWE Network subscribers to, I think a big chunk of the Network content is going to make its way to Netflix; I rarely subscribe to the Network now, but for those who’d like to have both, this will be a steal. But the originals are poor, anything new that’s decent? last high quality original I watched was Fall Of The House Of Usher.

Both Netflix & The WWE Network changed the game for entertainment and sports streaming, ironic they have come together

12th fail is a rare movie , Bollywood only made such movies once in a while.
 
DUNE 2 - High level entertainment on the screen, outstanding cinematography and had its own distinct visual style, I enjoyed the plot to but the atmosphere created made the movie for me and it completely utilised every resource available in that sense.

Biggest negative is perhaps the length and also lack of pay off.

When LOTR was written in each part, the writer seamlessly moved to the next phase in the story. It’s a big forced here, Frank Herbert didn’t write DUNE that way, so the movie people have to figure out when and how to split the story, and it hasn’t been done too well in that regard, so taking 1 point off for this.

8/10

Villeneuve has a heavy personal bias towards the visual devices and he has really used this movie especially to bring that out. I agree on the acting, though am not sure if it was by design, as they may not have wanted it to take over the narrative. The script was tight so it wasn't too noticeable for me, but totally get those who'd have liked characters who were a bit more compelling.

The worm scenes were insane, I loved the sunset colours they used for the Dunes, especially during the opening sequence, that was a really good hot start.
 
I watched 12th fail again and have to say it might be the best movie bollywood has made in last 10 years.

After seeing how Dunki was it does seem VVC was the reason for Raju’s direction.

On the movie , VVc was the first to use cinematography to its best extent in Parinda when Bollywood absolutely sucked in that department, and the beautiful cinematography and editing of 12th fail are something that I’m sure will inspire many filmmakers.

The story acting takes the center stage for this movie, the idea of haves and have nots, bringing change with knowledge of what is possible is what aim of education should be and I’m glad that one person can inspire changes in society.

9/10 probably the only deserved Indian movie rating on IMDB.
 
Movies like 12th fail
made me realize that Animal was so overrated, a movie that constantly needed BGM and action to keep your interest and unfortunately Animal is what I saw in cinema and not 12th fail.

It was in Jawaan, one of the jail girls father was a farmer who was stripped up and humiliated by the loan sharks and then committed suicide.
 
The Witcher just started pretty amazing first two eps, lets see how it progresses.

Wednesday - 9/10, reducing 1 only coz i could figure out the suspense.
 
Never watched a single episode of Shows like The witcher or GOT. My last show was money heist.
 
I watched the movie Article 370 last night on Netflix. Another Modi appreciation movie. I am surprised that Modi has also taken control of Bollywood, so now most Bollywood movies are based on Modi's agenda.

Yet another propaganda trash. The way feku was shown as the only patriot in India and the entire opposition was shown as traitor is enough for anyone suss out the intentions of the makers.

There is more such trash in the pipeline in next few weeks, in a cunning way to make their release coincide with LS elections.
 
The documentary of klopps final season at Liverpool will be on netflix later this year if anyone is wanting to watch a good comedy series.
 
@shaz619 Telegram banned in Pak sadly. But tell me have you heard about Batman: Caped Crusader?

I dunno if I've talked about this with you before. But Bruce Timm and others behind Batman TAS are bringing a new show that will be very similar in animation but set in an older time period. The show has been stuck in developmental hell where it was ordered by Max but then not picked up. Thankfully though Amazon did pick it up and will be releasing it this year. Some of the character designs even leaked online.

But the movies based on real fact…Article 370 not removed from J&K?

Have u seen Roja movie? That is also based on real story …. Indian Oil chairman Doraiswamy was abducted by terrorist in Kashmir … at that time terrorism was at pick in J&K…

Movies are reflection of whatever happened in the society
 
Saw Damsel and Ricky Stanicky.
Damsel - Average popcorn movie without much action. 6/10
Ricky Stanicky - Was pleasantly surprised, predictable bue had some genuine laughs. Very few comedies are being made I guess for 15 years or so now. Was a good callback to late 90s and early 2000s comedies.
 
Anyone seen Shogun? Reviews are extremely high? Can anyone tell what sort of series it is? Fast paced or slow burn?

I may have but many years ago, that sounds exciting, will Mark Hamil reprise his role or any of the other cast members? Max had some cracking DC projects. Is there any more info on the premise 🤔 but it is sure to be great.

I’ve also seen some concept footage of Batman Of The Future / Beyond which looked insane, am surprised it is taking long to green light it as a animated feature similar to what has been done with the Spider Verse. Or better, a live action version with Denis Villeneuve at the helm and Keaton playing an older Bruce 😮
