If you haven’t watched peaky blinders series 1 and 2 are on Netflix. Same for Luther. You’ve probably already seen them though. Orphan black recommendation is good too.
Backstrom, detective show – enjoying that.
Narcos, true crime – based on the life of Pablo Escobar.
Black – Korean supernatural/cop series – subtitled and very complex, takes about 3 episodes before it starts to make sense.
Sherlock – BBC series with Benedict Cumberpatch
I keep wondering where all the good films are – am I doing it wrong?
Narcos, stranger things & trek for me.
Suits, Bitten (trash, but eyecandy), and some royal thing about mary queen of scots (Regal maybe?) for shared viewing (is that what young people refer to as ‘and chill’?)

Netflix is rubbish for films and will be getting even worse in future. The company decided that they’d rather create their own content than buy the rights to movies from other studios. The creation of new original content is also the reason they’ve given for increasing the monthly subscription.

That’s because it’s become a studio itself. If you think by dropping Transformers and replacing with the likes of 1922 and Gerald’s Game – is evidence of it getting worse then it’s unlikely you and I are going to agree on what constitutes a recommendation.
Icarus was really good.
Narcos
Making a murderer
Spotless
Stranger things
Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul (in that order)
Bloodline
Archer
Ozark
The OA
Designated Survivor
Toast of London!!
6days is decent enough film .
Spongebobsquare pants is also popular in our house.
& when I do the ironing, a guilty pleasure is “once upon a time” – so bad it’s good…;-)
What can’t I get in to stranger things? 1.5 episodes in and had enough.
Because it’s a huge nostalgia circle jerk, combining elements familiar to anyone born before 1983; with some seriously wooden acting (Yes, you, Winona) and one of the thinnest plot lines in contemporary drama.
Also get bingeing on Peaky Blinders as series 4 starts on 15th Nov. Series 3 isn’t on Netflix but you can get it on iPlayer atm as they are putting it on again.
Unbroken, four guys riding mustangs from Mexican border to Canadian border. Watch it for the scenery, but some interesting discussion about the politics of conservation.
I didn’t get into stranger things either. Stalled on iron fist too, would defenders make sense if I don’t finish it? I keep holding off (plus I’m still binging peakyblinders)
