My kids aren't even that small anymore and will watch the same movie over and over again. The number of times I have seen Cars and Despicable Me is ... let's go positive and call it astonishing.

I didn't have the ability to watch movies over and over again when I was a kid. I'm sure I would have too.

Re: Netflix Instant Watch Recommendations
I recommend Dreamland.
It's an Aussie comedy about a government infrastructure building agency. Comedy gold, right? The cast includes two competent characters, one semi-competent, and then everyone else. I'm three episodes in and it's quite funny. It was recommended to me because I watched W1A - which is British funny whereas this is straight up funny.

Re: Netflix Instant Watch Recommendations
I’ve heard a ton of Nick Cave as usual (which is great for Cave fanatics like me), but I don’t recall hearing any Cash so far.
I want to get my hands on the cover of Red Right Hand that was played over Jessie Edens intro early in the season.
Edit: Looks like it was by Fidlar.

Final scene, Arthur and Tommy sitting in the yard contemplating the smell of Birmingham... It's low but it's there. 55:30 mark or so.

Anyway, my love life aside, episode one of season four of Black Mirror went in a direction I was not expecting about 15 minutes in. My hat’s off to the writing team. They took what I expected to be a cliched story line and turned it on its head.

Re: Netflix Instant Watch Recommendations
Ok, everyone needs to watch “La Mante”, “The Mantis”, a French miniseries funded by Netfix. The crux of the story is that there is a serial killer who is a copycat of The Mantis, a female serial killer who currently serving a life sentence for 8 murders. She agrees to help the cops, but only if her son, who is also a cop, is her contact for the case. There are so many twists in this thing that it’s crazy. Part crime procedural, part psychological thriller, I highly recommend it.

The Toys That Made Us series is utterly fascinating. The four episodes so far go into the history of Star Wars, Barbie, He-Man, and G.I. Joe with interviews with the designers and other players in the creation of those toys. It's got a terrific sense of humor and some of the behind-the-scenes shenanigans and business decisions are riveting.

We finished The Crown as well last night. I liked it, and will be a little sad when the principal actors are changed next season.
I think my wife took Prince Philip’s cheating dickishness personally. The show ended and she went on a rant about how men suck and Matt Smith is no longer her favorite Doctor.

Re: Netflix Instant Watch Recommendations
The End of the F** World is pretty damn great. Eight 20 odd minute episodes follow James, a self avowed teen psychopath and Alyssa, a disenchanted girl as they try to find her father...although James is just tagging along so he can kill her after they do.
It’s a dark comedy that feels like a Wes Anderson film. The leads should be big stars soon. They’re fantastic.

Re: Netflix Instant Watch Recommendations
Which incident? There's like one per episode, for cryin' out loud.
But yeah, this is an R rated series for many reasons. Although oddly enough, sex isn't really one of them. It's all language and situations. It's also oddly sweet, which I wasn't expecting.
