Have you streamed any good movies, shows or documentaries lately?

Asked by jca2 (16921points) 15 hours ago

I’m staying home today and just looking for something to stream.

I was just watching an interview with Tim Matheson on a morning show and I see he was in a movie “Killing Reagan” about the attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan. I might stream that.

Do you have any suggestions? I also love documentaries and true crime, and I like series like “Mad Men” and “Ozark.” I also like historical series like “The Tudors.”

“Breaking Bad” is on my list but since it’s such a long series, it’s going to be a deep dive, time wise, so I am putting it off.

Breaking Bad is well worth it, imo.

I really liked the Ted FAnson series on Netflix – “A Man on the Inside” and in a nstier vein “The Perfect Couple” with Nicole Kidman and Liev Schrieber.

@janbb I liked The Perfect Couple, as well. Also, another one with Nicole Kidman, “Big Little Lies” (also starring Reese Witherspoon and Shailene Woodley).

True Detective was extremely dark, disturbing, and incredibly well produced with exceptional performances.

@ragingloli Veristaium is great

I just rewatched 1917 last night on Netflix. It is a marvel of film engineering. Roger Deakins is a fucking genius.

The White Lotus

(Tried The Man on the Inside and the acting/direction/characterization seemed way too forced to me.)

@Zaku It gets deeper the more the series goes on but I take your point.

Laapaata Ladies is a great modern Indian film on Netflix. In Hindi (I think) with English subtitles. Just delightful.

I read the books years ago and just started the Netflix stream of Outlanders.

Finished Disclaimer with Kevin Kline, Cate Blanchett, and Sasha Baron Cohen. SO SO GOOD!

Another +1 for Veritasium. Also, if you like his stuff, you may also enjoy Johnny Harris and/or Huge if True. They can be a bit melodramatic, but I often learn new and interesting things, or at least get exposed to new ideas.
