Streaming The Netflix Thread

[raskolnikov]

I had a colleague in Moscow who was from Newcastle and a Newcastle United fan. He hated Sunderland. I think he got more joy out of Sunderland doing badly than he did Newcastle doing well.

Ignore the plotholes and it's great.

S1 also much better than S2.

Finished season 2. I agree with the plot holes. And the twist looks to have been written as an afterthought.

Yeah S2 was rubbish.

Sunderland till i die is fantastic viewing and i am not even a real Soccer lover.

Relegation systems are just brutal and so hard on clubs in struggling times and Sunderland are a big team and it is just a tragic story which makes compelling viewing. The Staff / Supporters and everyone i can literally feel their pain and as soon as they get relegated wages go down etc and star young up and coming players which they need to get back up are swooped upon by higher ranked teams who can offer more money leaving the team they depart in the wilderness and back at square one.

Once the relegation process starts it is doomsday and so hard to get back into the big leagues where profits are much more available to achieve and this story of Sunderland is truly tragic must watch TV.

Reminds me actually of my own team Carlton coming from glory days when i was in my early 20's and then just being a total basket case for over a decade and the fans are the hardest hit sadly. If you support a successful team be thankful and grateful because who knows what lies around the corner.

Sports just rip the heart out of people and it is such a roller coaster.

Really enjoyed it. I was wondering do the fans who feature in it have to give their permission? It just seems a bit odd that the peanut having a go at Chris Coleman after they had been relegated and the bloke who smashes the camera at half time would have agreed for their faces to be on the show.

Who knows what they signed prior to it being released regarding what content/faces etc could be shown at the producers discretion etc.

For those who enjoyed The Last Dance I'd recommend The Other Dream Team which looks at the 1992 Olympics from the perspective of the Lithuanian basketball team.

White Lines - absolute shit, but oddly enjoyable.

Why is it so bad? Me and the mrs wanna watch it.

 

[DIG]

Last Dance was excellent.

 

[BuddysBiggestFan]

Tiger King sucked.

Watching Schitt's creek at the moment. Only in S1, but its easy to watch and pretty funny.

I just finished First Team: Juventus. It was actually not bad, 6 eps. Interesting season with that epic champions league QF tie vs Real Madrid, Buffon leaving for the first time etc.

Unlike Sunderland though, the trick here is to actually skip thru most of the off field bullshit - hanging with fans, boring backstories and club events. The last 2-3 eps are best.

I started it a few days ago. It's been a lot funnier than I expected given I was just looking for something easy as background noise while I work.

 

[GhostofJimJess]

Binge watching Fauda at the moment. A kind of Israeli/Palestian version of The Shield or Braquo, and not far off these two great shows in enjoyability. Pretty unhinged at times, which is always good.

 

[ohhhBigMalcho]

not netflix, but Normal People on Stan was terrific

 

[srobbo]

What’s Tiger King like?

Watched the 1st ep & sacked it, gave it a reprieve for another 2 episodes & binned it for good! Absolute tripe!

Finally getting into documentaries thanks to Netflix. Loved the Last Dance, and watched Free Solo and Icarus tonight.

All you bigfooty WADA enthusiasts are probably all over Icarus already but holy ****ing shit. One of the best docos I have seen and a worthy oscar winner.

Free Solo is incredible. One of the best things I’ve seen

Free Solo is incredible. One of the beer things I’ve seen

Would you rate it better than " The Dawn Wall "?

 

[bok_party]

Would you rate it better than " The Dawn Wall "?

Haven’t seen dawn wall but the guy in That helps him out.

 

[jackn]

Would you rate it better than " The Dawn Wall "?

The guy in dawn wall has a much better story. It's the kind of background you could make a movie out of. The guy in free solo is less likable and has a less interesting life story but is preparing for and attempting something so crazy to most people, it just makes for riveting viewing.

If you liked dawn wall, I'd very strongly recommend free solo. If you didn't like dawn wall, I'd strongly recommend free solo. If I could only watch one again going forward, it would be free solo as it is simply breathtaking what he wants to do.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

For those who haven't seen it, get on Blacklist.

Fantastic thriller that went for 7 years, but didn't really get the traction here in Australia compared to elsewhere

 

[Forward Press]

So before I decide to invest time in a potential bomb - the first couple of episodes of Snowpiercer any good?

Found the movie okay-ish, the concept was neat but the execution a bit off and some truly cringeworthy lines.
