Streaming recommendations (including Netflix)

How are you with subtitles?

Breaking Bad, Just Call Saul.

Fargo (the series, not the film) Series one is particularly good.

Subtitles - I can read.

Fargo - liked what I've watched, there's a daunting amount of it though!

Having a prime binge at the moment, worth a swap for 3 months?

Oh, yeah.  Orphan Black.

Ozark?

Season 1 was pretty good and Season 2 starts a week today.

Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown is fantastic! Archer, Rick & Morty, Arrested Development are the main mindless things I watch.

Designated Survivor, Altered Carbon, Fargo (if you can stop shouting "why are you all so stupid? at the screen), Better Call Saul, Brooklyn Nine Nine, The Expanse, The Alienist, Narcos, Star Trek Discovery, River and Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee (but it depends on who the guest comic is)

Narcos, Happy, Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, I've just finished watching Bordertown, really good Finish crime drama.

Mindhunters is worth a watch.

Odessa

Mental documentary about Colombian cocaine cartels trying to buy a Russian sub. Some real characters

Stranger  Things

Any good films on there at the moment?

What Happened, Miss Simone? There's an excellent book to go with it.

(not a film)

I don't know if you like documentaries, but there are a few docu-series on Netflix that are as gripping as the classic box sets like Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.

Making a Murderer: a crime story that twists and turns in a way that you would dismiss as too far fetched if it had been written as a work of fiction.

Wild, Wild West: the bizarre story of the Rajneesh cult in the USA, told first hand by the people involved. Includes a guru who owned 93 Rolls Royces and the biggest bioterrorism attack in US history.

The Keepers: the investigation of the unsolved murder of a nun in 1969, which explodes into a much bigger and very disturbing story. Brilliantly paced, with a series of cliffhanger revelations as the story unfolds.

The Staircase (another close up look at a man accused of murder) and Evil Genius (about the pizza delivery neck bomb robbery) are also worth a look.

I like the way the episodic documentaries have more time to get under the skin of their stories.

Loads of good stuff already recommended.

At the moment I'm watching "the Vietnam war" really top notch documentary. Something you might think you know all about, but you don't.

Can't remember which of these were Netflix, Amazon, or just cable, but decent tv shows.

The Americans

Stranger Things

The Deuce

Counterpart

Succession

Better Call Saul

Westworld

Snowfall

Narcos

Blunt Talk

Brockmire

Preacher

Happy!

Future Man

The Expanse

The Good Place

I’ve just finished watching Final Space and Disenchantment. Both quirky animated series that I enjoyed. Mooncake from Final Space may be the cutest (and most lethal) animated creature I’ve seen “chukadee”

Black mirror. Last chance u. Rick n morty. Black mirror. black mirror. black mirror and black mirror

Money Heist was a suprise. Long series though .

The Sinner is excellent on NOWTV.

Alias Grace

Currently working my way through Gotham and Sons of Anarchy

Gotham is pretty good.

Disenchantment. A bit like Futurama does dungeons and dragons. Some recognisable British comedy actor voices in there if you listen.

Started off well, but maybe not enough laughs, and by the last few episodes it'd defo hit its stride. Really looking forward to series 2.

Final Space I'm not so sure about. Sone good ideas but no real character development, and not many laughs.

I'm currently working my way back through the first few series of 12 Monkeys - great show, one of the best things that Syfy has turned out.

The Barkley Marathons

Just finished Flint Town.  Not bad.

The Defiant Ones- dr Dre/jimmy iovine documentary is ace.

Defiant Ones and and Barkley Marathons seconded.

Hip Hop Evolution is a nice 4 part docu if you're into that sort of thing.

The staircase was very good, although after some further reading perhaps a little biased.

Didn't really rate Evil Genius, intriguing story made incredibly dull.

Just finished Flint Town.  Not bad.

Incredibly well made but very depressing. Hard to argue with the bad stuff they've had thrown at them.

ozark 2 is piling on the menace.

So much going off.

The debauchery in the first two episodes is already stacking up the odds.

Hope it keeps it up!

13 Reasons Why, very good, gets a little long winded in the middle, the ending is worth sticking with it.

If you enjoy Sci Fi:

Just finished Lost In Space, enjoyed it, good old fashioned Sci-Fi romp.

The Expanse is also great, Season 2 is excellent

Star Trek Discovery is pretty good too - the central premise is a bit silly but its very slickly put together.

Stranger Things probably counts as sci-fi too and is well worth a look.

Plenty of other good stuff on their too.

Ozark has just started season 2 and is very good

Deadwind, a Finnish 'The Bridge'.

She ain't no Saga though....

Bit late to it but I'm just getting through Line of Duty. Some of the acting is really bad IMO but it's a page turner

I'd recommend Black Mirror if you haven't seen it.

+1 Black Mirror

new season of Ozark has just started too.

Shows that I've enjoyed the most this year on Netflix -

Happy

Dirk Gently

Altered Carbon

Jessica Jones 2

My finger has been hovering over the cancel button for a while with netflix. Amazon prime is killing it with movies and tv shows whike NF just seem to be pumping out crappy content at an alarming rate

Really? Care to share? I have the opposite view at the moment.

Really? Care to share? I have the opposite view at the moment.

Me too, we have Prime, Netflix and Now TV and spend 90% of the time watching Netflix. It has the most content and the best content in my opinion

Watched the first couple of Ozark series 2 last night and it’s bloody brilliant. Looks like things are gearing up to get very very dark!

It's prime, but Sneaky Pete is worth a look.

Making a Murder on Netflix is superb!
