Netflix need to unblock shows from other countries and also add an in depth show/movie recommendation feature based on what you like imo.

You got your Internet rationed like in Cuba?

by El Gunner Thu Dec 01, 2016 7:15 pm

Not really sure how it works in Cuba, but there's bandwidth throttling here, that's all I know hmm

Internet speeds in general aren't as quick as it is in some first world countries, but the best internet providers here aren't complete slouches as well.

Namibia's IPs actually provide some great data packages. South Africa on the other hand, is a struggle when it comes to finding good options. Some people are trying to get a uprising going called #DataMustFall - don't know how that's going to work Laughing

Will I like Black Mirror? hmm

by M99 Thu Dec 01, 2016 11:39 pm

Don't think so.

Don't know why RG is sleeping on it though.

Most probably around Christmas or in Feb. Just not in the mood for anything atm.

Thought you lived in the UK :facepalm:

Yeah if I were back in Argentina I could see myself using it, but in a developed country with good, consistent Internet there is no need

Have a feeling the man himself is a goner this season.

Decent opening. I'm team Bjorn definitely but Ivar seems to be really intriguing despite his disability. The other 3 sons of Auslaug are very uninspiring.

by Onyx Sat Dec 03, 2016 11:58 am

So far on the list:

The Fall
The Killing
Black Mirror
Lost
Quantico
Heroes
Fringe
Remaining seasons of 24

There's a character named Auslaug? I suppose the actual name, Aslaug sounded too much like 'ass' when pronounced in English hmm

Absolutely loved season 1 of the Expanse. Along with the Magicians, one of my favorite new shows.

Syfy returning to form finally.

by RealGunner Fri Dec 09, 2016 3:11 am

It's in fact Aslaug, I just mistyped it. Sorry Very Happy

Watching Medici: Masters of Florence on Netflix....stars Richard Madden (Robb Stark) as Cosimo De Medici and Dustin Hoffman as his father.

Interesting enough, it also stars Daniele De Rossi's British-American wife as Cosimo's mistress. I've never seen her act before so looking forward to seeing that.

This here is about to become the next big Netflix thing. Count on it.

Love Brit Marling and Zal Batmanglij and have waited for this for so long. You should all check out their work together.

Is it any good? We get a lot of hype for that show here, cos the leading lady is a Bollywood actress. But I always had the feeling the show on the whole was garbage.
