Recently I have had a LOT of spare time that I wasn't sure how to fill. So I decided that I would look around on Netflix to see if there was anything that tickled my fancy.
I started out with Heroes, I think I am still at around episode 19 in season one. I didn't mind it, at the start it was interesting but it got a bit too samey for me and so I started looking around again.
I then came across The Office (US) and couldn't stop watching it! It was dangerous that Netflix had almost all of the nine series because the first and only thing I wanted to do (and did do) when I got home from work was watch another episode - and I would continue to watch up until I was tired enough to go to sleep!
- I have seen all episodes in the eight series twice! -
Netflix then recommended for me Life Unexpected. Which again, I fell in love with and couldn't stop watching. It has really made me appreciate the people that I do have in my life!
So after TV shows that I never actually watched on TV I had a quick look through the (awful) movie selection that Netflix has to offer and came across Black Fish. I had heard about this maybe about a year ago but couldn't find any channel in the UK that showed it so Black Fish was the first movie of the night. I don’t really agree with the whole concept of teaching sea animals (and all animals in general) tricks. so seeing that there was a documentary out there with some many credible people in it was really impressive to me and I would recommend it to anyone who likes documentaries.
The second movie was Lovelace. I’m a sucker for any Amanda Seyfried film so I chose to watch it. Learning that the film was based on true events was quite distressing but it was interesting to see the early days of such a taboo industry.
And lastly was Afternoon Delight. Again I watched this because of the actress’ in the film who are Juno Temple and Kathryn Hahn. I didn't really know, even after the film had ended, what it really was about. Im not really sure why anyone would take a sex worker in to their house thinking that they are going to change their ways purely because of the person who took them in.
Overall I wasted around six hours on three films I will never have to watch again.
Have you watched anything on Netflix that you would recommend?
