Netflix |OT| Where Binge Watching is Encouraged
- Thread starter GK86
- Start date
Depends on the app and if they actually have the content...
But its a pretty expensive (well $1400) and brand new samsung curved uhd tv, so i would be surprised (and angry) if they dont deliver 4k on netflix.

https://help.netflix.com/en/node/23876 You can check whether you model is listed there under "Netflix in Ultra HD"
its l listed there
Piggybacking off this, I got an email today about a documentary/behind the scenes of Sense8 being added today. It's called Sense8: Creating the World

It's so annoying that Netflix has Mission Impossible 1,2 and Ghost Protocol but not 3. Screw you Netflix UK!
Also, where's freaking Doctor Who series 8 and White Collar Season 6, I hope they comes soon.

I have to watch it. Amazingly shot show.
Get a DNS blocker. All that stuff is available somewhere.
Mine was half that but I was still surprised the built in Netflix app didn't do 4k....seems dumb. Here's your cool new TV now enjoy last gen content. Ah well. That's my gaming screen anyway.

hey, I just rented this like a week or two ago! It's not very good
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES
I binged out as well.
Birdman (Canada): Blind watch. Really, I only knew about it due to the award hype the film received. This seems like a (really) hate it or love it type of film. I loved it.
It is beautiful shot. The one single continuous shot (up until the end anyway) the movie produces, is amazing and fun to watch. The story and pacing were well done.
The cast was good, but I have to say that Michael Keaton and Edward Norton were brilliant. Especially Michael. This is probably my favorite film of his.
Crazy, Stupid, Love (Australia): Cliche, romantic film. But not without its charm. I actually enjoyed it. I find myself like Steve Carell's (almost) serious movies over his comedic ones. Well recommended if you like a good rom-com.
Hercules ('14, Australia): The story is weak, but its the Rock kicking ass, what more could you want? Turn your mind off and enjoy. The action scenes are good, dialogue can be cheesy, and the ending seems to be rushed. Still, I enjoyed it for what it was.
Sense8: Creating the World: Great insight in what it took to create the show. The level of detail that went into the show is fantastic. I love that they used local actors for each of the cities they shot in. It was nice to see the cast get along so well. Each of them excited to show their cast members the city they grew up in.
Agreed. Great little series. Antonia Thomas was great.

I finally got a big screen tv and yesterday I looked through the movies on netflix and decided to check out Hercules. I'm surprised how entertaining it was ans was expecting it to be terrible but it was pretty fun to watch. Really like how they portrayed greek mythology and it's hard to not like Dwayne.

The Guest was kind of great but also kind of terrible? I honestly can't figure out my opinion on it.
Dwanye was great. I wished they played up the mythology more though. Like the battle at the end,
I was looking forward to the fight between the centaurs and Hercules. Or even more magic stuff that they hyped up in the first half.
I think it is because it is two different movies (first half and second half). Second half kinda goes off the rails too.
I finally got around to watching Wet Hot American Summer. The film, not the Netflix series. What a brilliant film. The casting is ideal for each character. It got a bit weird in places (the craft teacher getting almost romantic with the kid was a highpoint/lowpoint) but was overall enjoyable. Great soundtrack too. Will definitely check out the series next.

Who doesnt? The series was nearly perfect.

the concept behind knights of sidonia seems interesting enough.... is it worth watching though?
I love the scene when Jackie is drunk out his mind, and they are trying to escape. Jackie hops on the horse facing the wrong way. Always kills me.
The sequel is good too. First one was better though.
I asked before, general consensus is yes. Even if you aren't an anime fan.

The first season is pretty good sci-fi, but the second season deteriorates into typical trope-filled harem anime.

Good enough for me. I will probably binge watch the first season this weekend if I get a chance. While I love mechs and anime. I feel like 3D mechs in anime has totally made things far more bland in general. I still watch the shows though

Ummmm... why didn't they bother adding #1? :/
Ewww that makes me not even want to watch the first season.

Same here, haven't watched zombeavers but thought wyrmwood was a pretty fun movie, with definite sequel potential. I was sad the aborigine guy died, he had a certain way of talking that I found enjoyable.
Have to add this. Last recommendation (zombeavers) was spot on.
I'm watching Wyrmwood right now and it's just ok. Not dumb enough to be fun like Zombeavers and not serious is enough to be actually good. They also paly it real fast an loose with their rules.
I'd also say it's just not as well crafted as Zombeavers is as weird as that sounds. Editing is kinda bad and the amount of extreme close-ups is getting on my nerves.

Binged all of OITNB and Wet Hot...now left with an empty feeling, I need more irreverent humor or humor drama ASAP.

Wait wait wait. So this is telling me that my 4K television that came preinstalled with Netflix doesn't support Netflix in 4K?
Lame!
Lol like I mentioned earlier....stoopid! Mine is the same way.

Well, assuming you have a Samsung TV and not one from a different manufacturer. Then no.
Unbreakable Kimmy for irreverent humor.
Grace and Frankie for humor drama.
Feel again.

Netflix Germany posted a new Original Movie on Facebook. Called Mascots by Christopher Guest. Anyone got an idea what that is?

Okay i missed that thanks.

I'm dumb. For some reason I saw that link and assumed that the only TVs that supported 4K Netflix were Samsung TVs. I dug around a little deeper and saw my Vizio listed as a supported device.
