Netflix / Prime recommendations

[Losing Eyres]

For those that liked American Primeval. 1883 on Netflix is a good watch.

[Cazaris]

Couple of people already mentioned it, but Yellowjackets is well worth a watch. Not entirely gore-free, admittedly, but has been really good so far.

[RalphCoatesComb]

Yet another shout for Adolescence. Filmed like a fly-on-the-wall documentary and benefits from this.

We enjoyed Zero Hour with Robert De Niro, but may not be everyone's cuppa.

[Venkys4eva]

Queens Gambit - netflix
You - netflix

[Burnleyareback2]

Netflix is now showing the film Sisu- I work a lot in Finland and Sisu is almost something in the soul of Finnish person. This is a bloody good film to understand what Sisu is.

[Steve1956]

Just binged watched all 4 episodes of Adolescence...thankyou to whoever recommended it Stephen Graham is an acting genius....I love how he can act without saying a word his facial expressions say it all....absolutely amazing programme but a sad protayal of the times we live in.

[NottsClaret]

Also watched Adolescence, great acting and really important story for any parent. Probably the first realistic portrayal of a U.K. school I’ve seen on tv.

Also the first episode in particular is technically incredible. Like a dullard I didn’t pick up on it being all one shot until about 20 minutes in..

[agreenwood]

Watched the first two episodes of Adolescence tonight. Harrowing and brilliant in equal measure.

Hopefully starts a few more conversations about what’s going on in the heads of (hopefully a minority of) teenage boys.

Yup. We felt the same. It was very good how they addressed online issues, such as the influence of AT

Pretty sure that ‘Boiling Point’ was filmed in the same way.

[Taffy on the wing]

The girl with the needle is a great movie.....on Mubi or Apple tv.
I saw it at the theatre ....best thing i've seen in a while.

[agreenwood]

Shrinking on Apple is a lot better than I expected. Harrison Ford plays a perfect part.

[Clovius Boofus]

Thanks for the recommendation

Didn't know anything about it, but just finished watching it- superb hidden gem of a war/action/vengeance film!

Yeah, it's excellent. I'll have to watch it again.

[karatekid]

Another shout for Adolescence. Brilliant acting by all involved.

Hello fellow Clarets,

Has anybody watched "Joe Pickett", a Paramount series about a game warden in Wyoming?

I've just watched the first episode and it looks pretty good.

[Cardclaret]

The Game and Coma channel 5, both excellent, both starting Jason Watkins.

We’re currently on episode 8. We’re enjoying it


Also noticed new series of Dexter is coming in July

[Ptangyangkipperbang]

Don't know if it's been mentioned but Boy Swallows Universe on Netflix it's a quirky Aussie drama part fantasy with a bit of humour

Hi wilks,

Thank you. It's different and, as you know, with all the series made today finding something novel is damn hard.

[Vintage Claret]

American Manhunt - the search for Osama Bin Laden, a 3 part behind-the-scenes documentary on Netflix.

The final episode with the very risky Navy Seals raid on the compound is particularly interesting - although it was real life, the actual events unfolded like something out of a Hollywood action movie!

[AlargeClaret]

Finally got round to watching “ This City is Ours” it’s decent enough ,well acted if a little cliched . It’s not as good as Kin but a steady 7/10 as these generic gangland series go.

absolute nuts, interestingly those Helicopters were never publicly seen before they were used and they've never been seen since. It makes me wonder what other stuff the US has that we don't know about !

I was looking forward to seeing this until a colleague told me the ending.

[Newcastleclaret93]

Lie to me

It’s an old show that I have recently watched on Disney plus.

Really good quirky show

[Murger]

Currently on season 3 of The White Lotus.

Just finished this. Gripping final episode even though we knew the outcome!

[DCWat]

Not sure if mentioned but Mobland on Paramount is pretty decent, so far.

[Taffy on the wing]

Binge watching Blacklist for the past few weeks........there's only about 200 episodes!
Good, mindless entertainment...Also some fit women.. Samar (Mozhan Navabi) in particular.

Looking forward to adolescence.

[ŽižkovClaret]

Not so much a recomendation, but "Havoc" was absolute bilge. Was surprised it had such a decent cast and director. Must have been a tax loss of some kind

[Newcastleclaret93]

Not sure if mentioned but Mobland on Paramount is pretty decent, so far.

Been well into this.

Harry is one of my favourite characters of 2025

[Barden Lane]

Looking for a reyt good detective type series. Something in the mould of Mindhunter/ Luther/ true detective/ Irving welshes Crime ? Thanks in advance

Black Bird is good if you've not watched it, if you enjoyed Mindhunter.

Bosch is great.

[brunlea99]

I thoroughly recommend Dept Q on Netflix. The character of Akhram is pure genius.

[Muric Leggings]

Watched Fred and Rose West A British horror story last night quite a revealing documentary still leaves doubts about who was the driving force in those two's relationship,Fred comes across as completely numb and Rose seems a maniac
Good watch,was it really 30 years ago time flies.

I watched it last week. Difficult to watch at times when they interviewed relatives of their victims. His son, who featured, has also served a prison sentence for having sex with a young teenage girl. Imagine though being brought up with those two.

Hello again.

Now on episode nine and not wanting it to finish.

When you read "series about a game warden in Wyoming", you might think "Wow, sounds a must."

However, it's got a lot going for it:

Different. So many series these days that finding something new is very tough.
Set in beautiful rural areas with fine landscapes.
Well-written. The plot has its twists and turns but what stands out is the dialogue and the acting. The lead role, the game warden, is played by Michael Dorman who is actually Australian. He's a man of few words but is an excellent actor. Sometimes great acting is about facial expression, body movement and not just the delivery of dialogue.

It's got action but it's more about the richness of its characters and a genuine feel for a small-town community set in America's least populous state.

We finished it last week and really enjoyed it as it was different to the norm.

I don’t want to comment further and spoil anything on it though

[Walkerpool]

Morland is gripping

Hi wilks,

Good to see I'm not alone!

No, I agree with you about not spoling it. Tried to encourage people to watch when it might initially not seem worth it. But without saying too much about the plot. Not easy.

[Fretters]

Just spotted BBC and Netflix have released 'The Bombing of Pan AM 103' - a six part drama around the Lockerbie disaster and fight for justice

Sounds very similar to Lockerbie from SKY which was only released recently.

[karatekid]

Just finished watching this 6 part series. I remember the night the plane went down being on the news but didn’t really follow the story from the initial days so this series was very interesting to watch.

[brunlea99]

Heretic on Netflix is very good.

It tells the official story, but not the truth.

[agreenwood]

If you haven’t watched Department Q on Netflix yet, you should.

It’s genuinely brilliant. The characters are superb.

[Claretforever]

Another shout here for Mobland. If you can get past the Irish accents from Brosnan and Mirren, particularly the former, then you’re in for a treat with it.

Concur. We’re on episode five. Loving it.

[Wile E Coyote]

not a recommendation, just a query.
have you had this as a problem ? I was watching versailles on prime, but episodes were missing.
nothing on the screen indicated this, so i contacted them and their reply was it happens due to content provider having contractual reasons regarding rights ??
so they decide availibility of the episodes the viewer can watch.

all sounds utter nonsense, I asked what the point was of only making bits of a series watchable, its clearly nuts, skipping a couple makes it impossible to keep up with the story.

I was watching the Antwerp episode last night and noticed one of my good mates from growing up in Padiham was in it. He was protecting the gate of the mansion in the Cotswold and told the family that Jan was leaving the property over the walkie talkie.

Having looked up the info he appears in 7 episodes as Davey short arm, so I'm going to have to watch them all back.

Dean Ashton from Padiham went to Gawthorpe in my year 89-94. He went to Bricklaying college at Elm St Mill with me and did glass collecting at Panama Joe's at night.
Then one day just decided to take a chance and head to London to go to dancing and acting college. We all thought he was mad but he has had small parts in plenty of things.

That’s amazing. I might search for that just to watch that piece. It’s such a good show.
