Netflix |OT| Where Binge Watching is Encouraged
- Thread starter GK86
- Start date
Same, unless Netflix up their game and drastically improve the UK service. That said, I haven't paid for Netflix in over two years so no biggy.
What do you do that allows you to watch Netflix at work?

Cant speak for GK but I've had a couple of jobs where I'd watch Netflix during lunch.
US netflix is still working for me as well.
Can't say I've always been within those exact parameters...ahem...but I watch a lot of Netflix at lunch.
I work at a tech start-up. Laid back environment. I don't watch Netflix here though, too tempted to marathon whatever I would watch.

When I was living in Japan, I worked a desk job and was able to connect my phone to a VPN and Netflix, even over data and streamed all sorts of stuff. It was nothing you'd have to follow, lots of it background noise like concerts or standup comedies a bunch of times. Sometimes stuff like Locked Up Abroad, My Strange Addiction, or other shows that don't need to be followed closely but was kind of like having a TV in the room.
I turn it on only when on Netflix with only that tab open then shut it down
I pay for a bunch of subscriptions already so I don't feel like paying a couple bucks for a VPN that will only let me access certain regions. MediaHint seems to work less and not as many regions.
anyway, I managed to watch an entire episode of the office without it coming up, so apparently it will only show up if you pause it enough or are just browsing. Havent had it happen while watching yet
I can't imagine Netflix coming down on DNS/VPN users. The CEO of Netflix said recently they would rather crack down on piracy than region hoppers. Plus they are still making money.
He also said he wants to be done with regional content in 5 years time, just have one content platform.
I wish I could find that link.

It's really not hyperbole anymore when the sub number is 65.55 million these days. Especially the 23 million international subscribers I imagine will have a higher skew towards changing region.

Your post, especially comparisons to You're the Worst, totally persuaded me to give this a go. Just watched all six episodes and really enjoyed it. Would absolutely urge anyone put off by the shitty title to still give it a try.
Awesome, that looked pretty good. Should be a nice warm up for Wet Hot American Summer on the 31st!
:/
can't think of anything else than to link it to VPN stuff
it's weird tho
anyone seen Creep yet

WTF at episode 10 of Sense8. What did I just watch?
Greatest.
Cheers for the list. I haven't seen many of them but will do now.
This seems like a useless feature.

i just came to ask if this was a bug as its been doing it on x360
Wow, I didn't realise that film was on Netflix....
One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest is missing the countries in your list btw (Argentina/Brazil/Colombia/Mexico).
Just finished Rocky III. Big shift in tone from the previous two movies. For two big reasons. I didn't view Rocky as an underdog. Which is expected, dude did win the title belt. But I also think the movie trying to make him the underdog by losing badly to Lang didn't work.
The other big difference is Rocky himself. He is no longer the man-child from the first two, a more mature sounding/looking Rocky. I think in the process, though, he lost a certain charm about him. He didn't come off as loveable as the previous films.
Lang is a challenger was great. Except when he opened his mouth to trash talk. Dude insulted a million a minute.
I liked the movie, but not as much as number two.
Will watch number four this weekend.
Thanks. It didn't come up in the database search, so I left it blank to go look for it, because I knew I seen it up before. Forgot to go back.

I was looking for a new legal drama to watch, I looked for the Pelican Brief but it weren't on Netflix and I have watched a lot of John Grisham's movies. I liked The Good Wife, Rake and Better Call Saul. I thought i'd try something new, I am 20 mins into Drop Dead Diva, can someone recommend me something not shit?
Suits is the first thing that springs to mind, though that's definitely on the comedic end of the spectrum since it's a USA Network show.
Damages is pretty great.

Damages, especially the first season.
Finished BoJack Horseman S1. It started off rough, but after episode four, I really started to like it. Towards the end, the sight gags and animal puns become good. The
were all great.
A great gem of a show.
wolf in sheep clothing hitting on a sheep, the golden globes jokes, the orange is the new black, the Vincent story,
A great gem of a show.

Hunky Nostradamus
Wow! I'm glad you watched!
Did you notice where Luke said (I think in an early episode)
that he may have thought of a girl as settling down material when proded by his coworkers? I'm pretty sure that was Phoebe.
So sad ;(

Damn Australia gets Harry Potter?! I swear every region gets better movies then us
Is it safe to assume the premiere for the originals will be the same in most regions?
Mainly asking because of Narcos
and Ever After High
Harry movies have been up in Mexico. This is be the first time we get something before the Goblet of Fire though.
Yes for Narcos. Probably yes for EAH.
The majority in not-USA does. Everybody uses them to get more content and to get it faster
I like how they pretty much say that Netflix will pick up things that Hollywood is to scared of. Glad someone around here has balls.
it's a pretty funny flick, but don't watch the trailers.
I should check if my vpn works, haven't used it in a while.
edit: NordVPN still works, awesome.

Haha, agree about the horror track record. People here were praising the hell out of The Babadook, watched it on Netflix and yeah..... didn't think it was all that great.
I watched It Follows last weekend on Blu-ray, while I did find it more tense than Babadook in the end I thought it was ok. For some context I did like The Conjuring and Annabelle. Cue the pitchforks, lol

that sounds great. it's strange how 2 of the big netflix movies i'm looking forward to happen to be about child soldiers.
If you're talking about The Imitation Game, cancer has nothing to do with the tragedy of that film.

no, it's actually called Tig
