Netflix "Watch Instantly"

Netflix "Watch Instantly"

I just recently rejoined Netflix and was pleased to see they have added a "Watch Instantly" feature where you can stream a movie over the internet. The selection of movies/shows is subpar, but it's free baby! Well, free as in no extra charge. You can watch 1 hour for every dollar/month your subscription is and it doesn't affect your queued/shipped movies at all. Minuses are that you have to be running Windows and Internet Explorer, but the quality is great! I have a garbage laptop, but it looks the same as a DVD to me and it hasn't skipped/paused/hiccuped once so far.

Nice! I’m 6 episodes into season 1 and a ways to go!


by Kurn, son of Mogh P

All 3 episodes are excellent. Fairly true to the book. For me, it's the #1 show of the year.

I'd normally lap this stuff up, but it hasn't gripped me so far.


by REDeYeS00 P

anyone else watching The Gentlemen?
only episode left to see is the last
and can not wait to see what happens

Forgot about this coming out, looks great

I'm guessing you haven't read the book.

I feel like this is about the point where Cinemax realized they had a good show on their hands and started dialing back the Skin-e-max part of it.


by boscoboy P

Finished The Curse and honestly not certain if I am too dumb to understand the ending or too smart to just enjoy it.

One of the worst things I ever made it to the end . I kept waiting for it to get good

To add to that, I have 1 episode left in season 2 and didn’t even register that. So good!!

Speaking of episode 9, that was one of the harsher episodes of TV I might have ever seen. Almost Ozymandias level. And with the nature of this show, there could easily be a few more by the time it’s over.

That episode has a 9.7 on IMDb.


Boat Story on Freevee is good, I watched the first 2 out of 6.

Aussie Crime Thriller about 2 strangers finding a bunch of drugs on a wrecked boat, from the makers of "The Tourist".

It starts a little weird but gets going after 20 minutes.

I see Aussie, I’m in!! They’ve rarely missed with their shows on Netflix for the last few years.

Oops, it's actually a British show. lol


To hell with it than…. I ain’t watching that ****!!!


It's on my list to watch, but I have a hard time watching Paterson Joseph without seeing Alan Johnson

I really liked Secret City. Only saw s1 so far though


anyone else been watching the gentlemen ?

im about 5 or 6 episodes in to it enjoying it a lot, very fun


Literally just started it. Can't believe Susie Glass is played by Kaya Scodelario, who anyone from the UK will know as Effy from Skins.

Yes it's fun, I'm enjoying it.

The british hip hop soundtrack is pretty ****ing tilting though.


Silo - It was up and down for me through 8 episodes and it almost lost me in the middle. Some of the acting was awful and in typical Apple TV fashion there were some eye roll moments. But the final two episodes were very good and I’m ready for S2. Hopefully Rebecca Ferguson’s accent doesn’t come and go like it did throughout S1.

Missus and I tripped over Mr Inbetween last night - think many people itt are on board already, but if you're not it's pretty fantastic (Disney).


mr inbetween one of the best shows in recent years

get the book series, its so good.

Super easy casual read.


I really loved the show so got the audiobooks to listen to. I was suffering very bad insomnia at the time, and ended up very confused with them, and gave up at some point. Need to give it another go. Definitely didn't feel casual at the time!


Warrior is one hell of a show! I really hope they get a 4th but if not, I’m okay with that ending. One thing though about the “series” finale:

Spoiler
Show

I know that they needed that final showdown with Ah Sahm, Young Jun and Hong, but the “we finally have the advantage we need to destroy Mai Ling, but first…. Let’s get rid of damn near our entire gang first…” I was a tiny bit annoyed by. It didn’t not work exactly, but there was a better way to do it and still have a similar result.
