Docu- loved the 'Stop at Nothing' Lance Armstrong one
Another vote for Norsemen here, rewatching it for a second time atm
Hunt for the wilderpeople is a great film, take ten minutes to get into it, brilliant.
unfortunately i also liked californication, which i was totally surprised at because i thought it would be awful.
( i was netflix bingeing recovering from an op and watched everything)
after watching House of Cards which was superb, i know why they didnt vote for Hilary Clinton
After Narcos I got into designated survivor, surprisingly addictive, but gave up on Peaky Blinders.
Also came to say Mindhunter but looks like I've been beaten to it - great minds think a like!
If you prefer a more light-hearted take on crime - think burglary not murder, White Collar is also good for a bit of fun
Whoever mentioned master of none - so true, and a phenomenal soundtrack to go alongside it!
Does Gotham count as a crime drama?
I started watching [url= http://www.imdb.com/title/tt6170874/ ]Salvation[/url] on Netflix last night, It's a totally absurd/fantastical/unrealistic/ham acted/infuriating/unbelievable cluster **** of a program but still good fun to watch series. You'll find yourself slack jawed in disbelief at the plot development every few minutes but i kinda like it 😀
You've probably seen it already but I hadn't. Happy Valley.
Even if you think it's pish you can still enjoy it by playing Northern Cliche Bingo while it's on. More tea, fags, rain and cobbles than you could shake a night stick at.
I've also been enjoying Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt this last week. Funny, clever and very silly sitcom.
Wife also made me watch Bojack Horseman. Very, very good but it was too depressing for while I'm ill.
Have a shuftie at Wanted. Aussie crime drama thing. I'm enjoying it and it's always good to see Halifax FP on the telly. The Defenders stuff (Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist and the Defenders ... in that order apart from delay watching the last series of Daredevil until just before you watch Defenders) is dead good. The Expanse is good too.
Suits.
7 seasons, 16 episodes per season to binge on and Meghan Markle to stare at throughout.
everyone should watch this film its a tremendous gem and not seen a film for years I recommend everyone should watchHunt for the wilderpeople
I quite enjoyed Sons of Anarchy.
And The Tudors 😳
Started Mindhunters after reading this thread. Loving it. Thanks.
Been enjoying Strange Things over the last week
It's a fun homage to all the great movies of your youth.
American vandal sounds quite silly...
Eddie the eagle
Lemony Snicket is also fun
Not outright crime but sort of crime mystery is Dirk Gently which I enjoyed.
Maybe Netflix could remake Hitchikers?

POSTED 4 HOURS AGO # REPORT-POST
You mean Sarah Rafferty / Donna? Soooo much better an actor than Rachel! 😉
We got fed up of suits - the script for every episode is virtually the same and the parade of stupid swaggers, awkward walks and verbal one upmanship wore us out.
Timeless is good though.
Rick and Morty, of course.
Does anyone know if Narcos series 3 is any good, or does it fizzle out after the climax of series 2?
Narcos 3 I enjoyed as much as the first 2 and 4 will be ace if it does change location.
I assumed Narcos would be pants without Pablo, but by episode two I had pretty much forgotten about him.
Not seen the film Victoria mentioned yet. Shot in one take and very compelling. Just started season 3 of Line of Duty which is worth a go if you haven't already.
Dirk Gently and Gotham are both awesome!
I'm quite enjoying The Sinner at the mo.
My viewing plans are -
Finish off Gotham
Watch Line of Duty with the boss
Lillyhammer series 3
Peaky Blinders binge watch series 1&2
May pick up Sons Of Anarchy - did the first 3/4 series
Thanks for the heads up on Valley Rising, watched last night and thought it was great. Recommended.
If you like narcos then try el chapo
Watched first episode of alias grace last night. I'm so far intrigued, and it's getting unusual to find something my wife and I will both enjoy!
I'm quite enjoying The Sinner at the mo.
I was just going to mention that, not seen it yet but it's generating quite the buzz
I liked Daredevil
Currently nerding out on Star Trek Enterprise (Scot Bakula one)
Unbranded is great
First starnger things was great, not taking to the new one
and errr I've watched 10 seasons of Heartland (Canadian family drama with horses)...I am not a teenage girl though honest
Meru, Valley Uprising, The Barkley Marathons, Icarus, Anvil, How to sell a Banksy 🙂
Just started Iron Fist - seems OK so far.
For people with HDR TV's - why on earth do Netflix make their HDR stuff so grainy?
Luke Cage is worth a watch.
[b]'Bloodline'.[/b]
Excellent film-noir style family/crime drama set in steamy South Florida backwaters. The wayward son and brother character is played to perfection by Ben Mendelsohn. I enjoyed [b]'Ozark'[/b] nearly as much for the same reasons.
Bloodline is worth sticking with if you like that kind of thing. Which reminds me I have two seasons to catch up! Hope they are on par with the first.
Someone mentioned the film '[b]Victoria[/b]' ... an excellent piece of film-making and more engrossing because of it's seamlessly natural tempo and plot development. Acting is first-class. Not enough 'grown-up' movies of this calibre IMO. It's like the 'anti-Hollywood pulp' type of film that prompts me to say 'they dont make movies like this anymore!'
Same goes for [b]'Blue is the Warmest Colour'[/b]. Another must-watch. Heartbreaking and raw love-story. Be warned - the sex-scenes are frankly depicted so maybe not one for a first date or at the parents-in-laws 😉
Suburra Kinda like Sopranos except even better imho. And I loved the Sopranos! (It's in 4k too!) oh and Italian with English subtitles
Just getting stuck into mindhunter, superb so far.
Really liked Narcos.
currently 'binge-watching' and enjoying 'the sinner'. just episodes 6, 7 and 8 left.
Watched the first 2 episodes of the sinner last night. That's some fubar business. Waiting for kids to go to bed to carry on.
Done mind hunter. Done suburra.

Not crime but The Expanse is ace.
Thanks for the recommendation, just watched the first series, really good.
It really felt like they were in zero g, loved the language used.
Can’t wait to watch the next series.
thanks to the other thread, im currently watching, and desperately trying to love it as much as everyone else (but struggling) the Detectorists.
Gotham,- just finished it, cant wait for more
Star Trek - Discovery, pleasantly surprised by it
Suits - Loved it
A Typical,- just started it and liking it so far, kinda indie feel but amusing enough
American vandal is worth a look. Most of my other recent favourites have been covered. Ozark is decent too.

If you like that have a look at Star Trek Discovery. Watched the first one last night and it was very good.
The trouble with netflix is you get sucked in to watching some utter rubbish. Last week it was Salvation (trust me the time investment won't be rewarded by the ending), the last couple of days I've been off work and I'm watching Reign, which is terrible. Costume drama mixed with teen angst. It's a horrific waste of time, but completely addictive. My daughters would probably like it, bit like The Next Step but in 16th century France.
