Streaming The Netflix Thread

As far as I know, subtitles is the default in the UK. I haven't watched anything dubbed since the bad old days of cheapo martial arts movies decades ago! Saying that,I am quite prepared to believe that the technology has improved a bit since then, but I am so used to sub-titles now, i don't think twice. The only problem is that they can be a bit a bit sparse!

I have subtitles as default even with english speaking - more for hearing issues and I am ok with it

What does annoy me is when the subtitles are poor or missing. It takes me out of the moment

There’s a layer of society that finds his stuff entertaining. Background fluff while they look at their phones.

I’m doing this exact thing right now

 

[Beerfish]

Anyone watching the samurai stuff?

 

[Cruyff14]

Behind Her Eyes is very good. Anyone else watching?

 

[faible]

american audiences apparently will watch more euro stuff if it’s dubbed

This in no way surprises me, half of the US would be barely literate, let alone able to read AND watch a show at the same time.

We've been glued to Atypical. It looked boring from the slide in the catalogue but it's got some bloody funny lines.

Finished it the other day, excellent series

Well worth a shot mate.

Got excited and thought there was a new season for a second.

Miss that show.

I've been watching Enterprise on Netflix and I feel I have to declare it now. T'Pol is the hottest woman to ever be on Trek

 

[King Elvis]

Watched "I care a lot" - movie of two halves; one was good, one was absolute shite.

 

[Catfish Alley]

I watched Age of Samurai over the past few nights. Was very good. All about feudal Japan in the 1500's and samurai houses clashing before unification. Some good reenactments as well as input from historians.

 

[Gough]

Not a big car guy but I'm really enjoying Rust Valley Restorers.

I'm shocked to be sitting here. I am a car guy and I couldn't stand it. The Ron Jeremy look alike, the fake drama, the gratuitous t&a camera work whenever the girl gets on the tools.

THE QUEEN'S GAMBIT

I see multiple oscars in Anja Taylor Joy's future

 

[BlakeyNoFlakey]

I watched a few eps of the Chapelle Show, 1st season was in 2004. It really hasn't aged too well. The sexism and misogyny he displays toward women in those old shows were cringeworthy. I saw one sketch where he spent the whole thing telling a woman that the only reason ppl take any notice of her is that she has big breasts. Times have surely changed.

I intend watching this, have been interested in that time period ever since I ploughed through James Clavell's Shogun many many years ago

Unsure if they'll succeed, but Netflix are trying to crack down on password sharing in the U.S:

A couple of his sketches also blur the line between skewering racism and Uncle Tomming
