Watched The Fall. Enjoyed it, but man, that was a serious man-hating feminist show. Felt influenced by the Girl With Dragon Tattoo series of books/movies. Same vibe. Still good. Starting River now, will move on to The Crown after.

So, a little wish of mine kind of came true
Once in a while i am out of town at a pad in the woods doing none other than woodsy guy stuff like hunting, fishing, 4 wheeling etc.
The cell reception can be very spotty, right down to literally where you are standing on the property. Of course there is no phone line run to the cabin either or anything like that, and i never even bothered to get a dish, because i feel im not there often enough to justify the ridiculous cost/extended contract etc.
I try to make it a goal that when im out there to just out the phone down, turn the tv off, and enjoy the peaceful solitude and nature surrounding me. Nonetheless, sometimes if im there and the evening is winding down, id like to be able to kick back and watch something.
So recently Netflix announced that you can download some of their content. Great! Pretty much what i was wishing for; except i noticed reading an article that the downloads were apparently only available for ios and Android. My issue is that i will normally hook my laptop up to the tv via HDMI.
Is there any way to bypass the mechanisms so that i can download Netflix onto the laptop? If not, does anyone have any ideas as to the best avenue to remedy my issue and simply watch something? I mean, i used to do the torrent thing a while ago, but it seems as though its fading and its becoming harder to find the right shows with a good quality picture.
Ideas?
Give Rectify a try.Quote:

Do you have an iphone or android? I think you could stream local media (from your phone) to a Chromecast device without an internet connection.Quote:

Bo Burnham's "Make Happy" was incredible

Thank you, sounds like that might just work.
honestly though this movie is underrated. it's like a 7/10 on imdb currently but if you're just a fan of gangster flicks its probably more in the high 7's to 8's. If scorsese directs you got yourself a 8+.Quote:

Cliffs, Mcafee is a paranoid genius who kept a harem of women in Belize. Forget murdering his neighbor,etc., the most shocking thing in the movie is that is into his various girls, I kid you not, shitting in his mouth! no sex, just shitting....
Been there. Done that.Quote:

fine print play fo sho. "Too many people are watching on your account right now" Care to upgrade for two bucks a month. And they show the other viewers. Just one other
Fuckers allowed five viewers at a time when I signed up.
Me heepin steamed
I thought the 3% was pretty sick if you dont mind dealing with the subtitles. I usually cant stand them, but for whatever reason they didnt bother me with this show
Yep good show, gets better as it goes on imo, esp the last season. First episode of series 1 I didn't like but other than that it's v entertainingQuote:

Not on Netflix but Love/Hate is one hell of a show.
My fave recently has been stranger things
My Android which is like 3 years old does hdmi out. You have to buy the appropriate cables but this solution is surely more direct if your phone has that capability.Quote:

Season one was OK but it went downhill from there.Quote:

Im trying to figure out where all of the good ratings are coming from
Wow 8.8 on imdb.com - I'd give it a 6.Quote:

The sets were piss poor and it was so unrealistic, but I guess many folks like that fantasy approach... I prefer a realistic gangster movie/series.
Perhaps I'm being too harsh, the acting was pretty good. I just zoned out when I saw things like the foundry they always walk past and the outside scenes around the pub, the fire looked terrible.Quote:

Music was pretty good though.
Ya I like that show as well...I ended up using the English sound track for it and it made it worse than reading the subtitles..Marsellie was pretty good also, kept the French audio and read the subtitles (honestly can't remember if it even has an English track)Quote:

Peaky Blinders is well worth seeing out imo. The story lines progress nicely and you will enjoy.
Much of it was filmed in my city and the scenery was pretty decent imo.
Also don't take TV advice from an aussie. He'll have you watching Cell Block H and fucking Neighbours.
Just saw this and was glued, figuratively. Tough pace to keep up re: third seaason.Quote:

Ok boys I have a good one for you. Gomorrah. Italian mafia series. Well done. Slice of Italy.
Agree entirely with your British recommendations. The Night Manager is terrific. As for an American series, if you're into violence and scamming, Shut Eye is very good.Quote:

Fawlty Towers popped up today in my Netflix list. Jolly good! Pip pip! Let's get on with it!

Just watched first episode of "Five Came Back" on Netflix. Very well done so far.

Ricky Gervais explains why he ditched theaters for Netflix to release his new movie
Yeah well, it's a steaming piece a crap innit?
Except for his podcast laugh, I fink ees pretty good.
David Brent: Life on the Road, however, was a joke, pun intended. Same character from the Office but cashing in wif nufing new and much borrowed, i.e. Spinal Tap.
Stephen Merchant no where in sight, wisely. So bad I had to watch it all
Queen of Versailles is pretty good and has some decent stuff on the PH Towers (time share/Westgate). A few years old but still not a bad, brainless docu watch.
Sorry about some of the series I mentioned, I get Netflix, Amazon, and my bittorrent downloads jumbled together.Quote:
