Some tips on how to find good movies on Netflix:

Look at the sites
http://instantwatcher.com
and
http://www.moreflicks.com

Moreflix can help you find movies available in different Netflix regions. Use a service like unblock.us or browser plugins to trick Netflix into thinking you live somewhere else.

Instead of the normal "top picks", have a look at the list in:
http://www.netflix.com/Subtitles

It's way longer, and has Netflix's guessed ratings for movies and series.

A second season of Cutthroat Kitchen was just added. I normally don't watch any cooking shows, but I like this one.

Synopsis: "Four competing chefs are handed $25,000 and can use the money to either help themselves or sabotage their rivals."

Stuff like: How much of your money are you willing to give up to replace all the meat from one of your opponents with spam?

Comedy chat: I love Better of Ted. It's a terribly funny workplace comedy. Too smart for it's own good, so it was cancelled after about 20 episodes.

Thanks to whoever recommended Bloodline. It's pretty great. For anyone on the fence, I'd describe the tone as something like two parts Rectify, one part True Detective, with pacing closer to the former: very deliberate and unhurried.

Only through episode 6, hope the quality is maintained all the way through.

I like it as well. I'm about 7 episodes in. Feels like watching a car crash in slow-motion.

Click hit me a lot harder than I had imagined going in.

Whiplash is up in Canada. I haven't seen it, but heard it was rather great.

I see that Netflix just added 11 seasons of NCIS. It's like bubblegum for your eyes. Nothing too challenging, and there's a nice group dynamic. Just like Leverage.

Found a pretty good search engine for the various Netflix regions: http://unogs.com/
It has links to imdb, RT and trailers.

Looks like tonight's movie will be The Imitation Game (available in Canada)

The rating system is actually Netflix's prediction of YOUR rating, not of the average user. It seems to be doing a pretty good job for me. Have you rated a lot of movies?
If the Guy Maddin rating is wrong for you, give it a different one

I wish there was a way for Netflix to show you the movies it thinks you would rank highly. I've found the star estimate is usually very good. It's unfortunate that the movie recommendations have absolutely nothing to do with them.

You could try this link in a browser:
https://www.netflix.com/browse/subtitles/en?so=rt

No idea why they hide it so well.

Tween-safe Stand-up comedians?

Gary Gulman is pretty clean, and his special is really good.

Any good recommendations on the 'flix or youtube or whatever for comedians similar in content-style of John Mulaney? Like, he swears and stuff, but his jokes aren't "so i was cumming on this bitch last night and" stuff that I wouldn't watch with my parents even as an adult.

Gary Gulman is quite clean and very funny.

Speaking of food shows:
Just watched the first episode of Somebody Feed Phil. It was very entertaining. Loved not only the food stuff, but also the way he interacts with other people.

Man, Santa Clarita Diet is so good. The whole cast just nails it

Yeah, I liked season 2 a lot more than season 1. Hope it keeps getting better.
It just got renewed for a 3rd season.

Just received the news that season 2 of Patriot drops on Amazon Prime tomorrow. What a nice surprise! I didn't know a release date was set already.
