Re: Netflix
If you can stomach what is essentially a teenage high school drama, I recommend 13 Reasons Why - me and the missus really enjoyed that, hard watch though.
Love is a great comedy, two series of that so far. I’d recommend the Marvel shows (Daredevil, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Daredevil, The Punisher, The Defenders and Jessica Jones) if you like the Marvel films - but even if you don’t, I would still try Jessica Jones. It’s essentially a detective show,the villain is played by David Tennant and the acting is absolutely fantastic from all. Series 2 of this actually just went up on Netflix.

Thanks for the recommendations. I'm happy to give anything a try really. Seen Daredevil and enjoyed it (though I wouldn't call myself a Marvel fan per se). Jessica Jones sounds up my street, might give that a watch!jedi_master wrote:If you can stomach what is essentially a teenage high school drama, I recommend 13 Reasons Why - me and the missus really enjoyed that, hard watch though.

Re: Netflix
One I forgot too that I loved.
Documentary show called ‘The Toys that Made Us’. If you are an 80’s kid like me you will love it, looks into (with a very comical slant) how certain toys became massive and interviews those that made them. Some of the ones done so far include the Star Wars figures, Masters of the Universe, GI Joe, Barbie etc. Very interesting, and good fun. Some absolutely bonkers anecdotes.

Re: Netflix
I enjoyed altered carbon however I think I preferred The Expanse - its a bit easier to follow and the character development is, in my opinion, better. Both good sci-fi shows though.
If you have any interest in American Football then I would very much recommend the documentary, Last Change U.
Quite a lot of the Netflix originals are decent, however whatever you do, don't watch Disjointed, it's absolute dogger.

The Good Place - fantastic US comedy with Sci-Fi / Fantasy overtones
Inside Number 9 - if you like Black Mirror
Hannibal - the most stylish, scary, bloody and overlooked show on TV since Deadwood
Not watched yet, but I've heard good things about...
Mindhunter
Manhunt Unabomber
Netflix is producing some phenomenal stuff right now

Jessica Jones is probably the show that has surprised me the most in the last few years. And David Tennant is absolutely amazing in it. Stands up to repeat viewing just to watch his performance again.

Also watched the new Star Trek Discovery which is also brilliant
Currently onto series 3 of House of Cards.
Going to give Altered Carbon a watch as well - looks good

Re: Netflix
Black Mirror. Just watch them one at a time and don't binge it because it will **** you up.
It's pretty much a social commentary but taken to the nth degree.
So if you're half way through a series and want a break, watch a black mirror episode - they aren't linked until Black Museum, the very last episode, but even that could be watched as stand alone.
If you want to binge something then Suits takes some beating - it' light hearted, funny, serious in bits but not at all taxing.

A few that have caught my eye are Altered Carbon, Black Mirror, Manhunt Unabomber and Godless.
Recommend WWII in Colour for those interested in that sort of thing.

a few [maybe] not mentioned above - the killing, archer, marco polo. just saw the film 'the revenant' on saturday, was quite good and only two or three years old. so there are some decent, newish films on there, too.
Re: Netflix
If you liked Stranger Things give 'The OA' a go, I thought it was excellent. Didn't like the first episode of Altered Carbon even though I was expecting it to be right up my street, I'll give it another go. Black Mirror is probably my favourite series ever. Godless, End of the f***ing world, The Good Place all great and watched recently. Mindhunter and Unabomber really good.
For films, Veronica was a very good horror/thriller. Documentaries, Finders Keepers has to be seen to be believed!

We got 18 months ago just to watch Breaking Bad.
Loads of comments that I agree with Black Mirror is brilliant.
Really enjoyed Stranger Things, Mindhunter, Manhunt Unabomer. Last chance U if you like American Football. Travellers, but I really like time travel stuff. The Fall and Hinterland for British police drama.
Inside No9 is obviously brilliant but then it's from the men who brought us LOG.
Next up for us is probably Altered Carbon.
One that I also liked that's not been mentioned is a German sports documentary called Trainer. It follows three German football managers.

Mr Mercedes, very disturbing 1st episode, but, well worth getting into.
Happy, is different.
Gomorah, Italian crime drama, IMHO it's the best tv series ever. Don't let the subtitles put you off watching this masterpiece.
