I've watched quite a lot of the box sets on Netflix. Prison Break was good, Breaking Bad is cracking and highly addictive (puns intended) and I've just finished all of the Better Call Saul which was really good too. Recently discovered there's a lot of Only Fools and Horses, Red Dwarf and other great British comedy available too.

In terms of films, the world is not set alight with new releases on Netflix but there's some classics. I spent the best part of when I first subscrived watching all the old warm films I heard much about and had never watched myself. I depends what floats your boat. The Theory of everything is one that's just come back to me and the Imitation Game

The only downside of my own Netflix I have is that I have a three year old so my suggested viewing is full of Pepper Pig and Thomas the Tank Engine etc...!

Deepwater Horizon is very good. Stars Mark Wahlberg and is about the oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico that took blew up.

Also, if you want to get really angry, watch The Big Short. It's a brilliant explanation of what led up to the 2008 economic crash that Gordon Brown solely caused.

The film Victoria is well worth watching.

The entire film is filmed in one shot, really enthralling characters and an immersive story.

Ah I've seen comments about this on social media with the yanks hating the Brits and the Brits asking why a film wasn't made about an American oil disaster..

Seriously, watch the Big Short. It has Margot Robbie in it, in a bath.

Hunt for the Wilderpeople is one of the most charming films I've ever seen.

Wild...Reece Witherspoon excellent playing a young woman who decided to walk the Pacific Crest Trail up the Western side of the USA in order to reevaluate her life after her mother dies and her family falls apart. Sounds heavy but I really enjoyed it. It "stayed with men" after watching it on Netflix and I've now read the book too.
