What is your favourite netflix series

janer1967

Hi all

Have to admit started watching Prison Break this weekend and Im addicted 

What is your favourite series (looking for tips)

Cress

Ooh I liked "you" "stranger things"
And "little fires everywhere"...
I'm now worried I'm mixing up my netflix with my Nowtv ...but never mind lol

janer1967

My son likes stranger things watched it couple times dont think it's my cup of tea 

Cress

I keep meaning to go back to Breaking Bad as everyone seemed to say good stuff a out it but I'm sometimes put off starting anything long running that I didnt watch when it came out...same with how to get away with murder...it goes on...lol
Generally I like supernatural, scary thriller horror type stuff ...think that may be the depression...lol cant stand a rom/com anymore...
Also like the scandi dramas...Fauda was good..

janer1967

I started the how to get away with murder but didn't hold my attention. I don't like scary or sci fi lol 

I like crime, true stories like the off rom com and like action

RAwarrior

The Crown and Dynasty.

janer1967

Thanks @RAwarrior The Crown is on my list ready to watch

RAwarrior

@janer1967

You’re welcome 😁

I really enjoyed The Crown. I won’t spoil it but I thought the acting was really great😁

I don’t know if either of these are on Netflix, they are just programmes I like that may fit what you are looking for.

Robin Hood (BBC version) is good if you like action programmes. It is PG so not too violent or scary. It also has some humour. Whether it is a true story or not depends if you believe in Robin Hood but it seems true to life when portraying the old days and I really like it.

Maybe this isn’t such a good suggestion because it is both science fiction and a little bit scary, but Torchwood is a bit of a detective show. I describe it as being like Doctor Who for grown ups. It is about a unit called Torchwood who are like detectives who investigate alien sightings.

janer1967

Thanks for the suggestions @66Mustang

RAwarrior

@janer1967

Please let me know what you think of The Crown once you have watched it.😁

It would be also interesting to know what people think of the new version of Dynasty😁 I do like a large variety of programmes 😂though not only soap operas😁

I need to look for some wildlife and nature programmes on Netflix as well.

janer1967

@RAwarrior I will let you know 

I like the eden channel which is great for wildlife programmes and david attenborough dynasties is good too 

woodbine

Its not netflix but on amazon prime atm i'm watching 6 seasons of "the last ship" made 6 years ago but very relevant today as it's about a pandemic that kills 5 billion people, if you have prime I recommend it, i'm on season 4 so far.

janer1967

Thanks @woodbine

RAwarrior

@woodbine

Thanks I will have a look at that😁

I watched Picard on Amazon Prime for any of those Star Trek fans out there. It took a while to get into but I enjoyed it😁

leeCal

I don’t know if desperate housewives is on Netflix but I watched all eight series back to back recently, honestly those writers!

RAwarrior

@janer1967

Thank you very much😁

I really enjoy watching nature programmes.

I really like Monkey Life which is usually on Pick Channel but I think it’s on Sky Nature as well.😁

I’m glad you like Dynasty😁

I loved these from Netflix:

• The Crown
• Safe
• After Life
• You

janer1967

Thanks @Chloe_Scope

The Crown is next on my list after I have finished prison break

Tori_Scope

@Cress Breaking Bad is SO good. Definitely one of my favourite TV shows, if not my favourite TV show, of all time. I'm sure it's not for everyone, but I'd definitely recommend sticking with it. They made a spin-off of it called Better Call Saul and that's amazing too. 

RAwarrior

Tidying Up with Marie Kondo on Netflix.

I don’t usually watch programmes like this but it has given me some good tips about how to organise things which I can find quite difficult because of my joints and fatigue. I find it difficult to move and lift things so I have found some useful tips. I haven’t watched the whole series yet.

janer1967

I finished The Durrells last night I really enjoyed it light hearted and very funny in parts

Ross_Scope

Me and the other half just got Netflix, would definitely take suggestions  

Chloe_Scope

What's everyone watching at the moment.

Prison Break

Tori_Scope

I'm re-watching McMafia on iPlayer at the moment, as I watched it with some friends the first time around and we did not keep up with what was going on at all!

Cher_Scope

For all you reality TV fans, Below Desk is a must-watch.  It follows the day to day life of a crew on a chartered yacht and the very rich guests they have on board!  My kind of viewing.  

janer1967

Sounds like my kind of thing @cher

bect93

There are so many series we have watched on Netflix. To name a few and in no particular order:
1. The Fall
2. After life
3. The Crown
4. umbrella academy
5. stranger things 

Cher_Scope

@janer1967 do you like your reality telly too Jane?  

Nice choices there @bect93 I've seen The Fall and After life.  Have you see Ricky Gervais' Extras?  That's funny and I missed it on TV the first time round.

bect93

No I haven’t seen that @Cher_Scope will have to give it a try

Tori_Scope

I second Extras @bect93! It's hilarious.

Welcome to the community by the way! It looks like you've been finding your way around okay, but let us know if you need any help

Chloe_Scope

I FINALLY got round to watch Crip Camp on Netflix and really enjoyed it. An interesting watch and really humbling. 

Ross_Scope

I haven't gone down the Netflix worm hole as yet, but my partner has it and she's really loving Bojack Horseman at the moment

Chloe_Scope

Ooo what's that about @Ross_Scope?

Tori_Scope

An anthropromorphic horse living with depression and addiction @Chloe_Scope

Ross_Scope

Yeah it's an American animated sitcom @Chloe_Scope, it's quite funny at times, though I admit I'm not paying my maximum attention when she's watching it  

Lisa Kudrow, voice of Phoebe in Friends, is in it though so I always enjoy hearing her voice, I love Friends  

Not Netflix related, but I'm interested in watching the ITV drama Dennis which starts on Monday.

Dragonslayer

Stranger things.
Suits

Chloe_Scope

Looking forward to Dennis too @Ross_Scope! 

Jaanu38

Thai drama called Revenge 

Jaanu38

Betty Broderick story 

Chloe_Scope

Did anyone watch Des on ITV?

janer1967

@Chloe_Scope Yes I watched it was good, another programme on tonight about him think it is interviews with those that did the investigation

Chloe_Scope

Ah thank you for this @janer1967! I'll have to go find it on catch up.

Tori_Scope

I finished watching it last night @Chloe_Scope. I enjoyed it too, what did you think of it? 

Ooh I'm going to have to find that on catch as well @janer1967!

Chloe_Scope

I thought it was really good @Tori_Scope! Great acting as well, such an interesting case.

janer1967

The one last night gave more gruesome info on what he actually did with the victims

davegregson40

THe recent series with Renee Zellweger called What If , stranger things too

Tori_Scope

Really good acting @Chloe_Scope- I thought David Tennant was brilliant.

That's what I like to hear @janer1967  

Cher_Scope

Has anyone seen Ratched on Netflix?  I want to know how scary it is before I dare watch it.  

Chloe_Scope

@Cher_Scope, I really want to watch this! My sister says it is quite scary though...

roberttaylor570

I don't have Netflix so haven't seen the programmes.  Do people think it is worth the subscription?

Cher_Scope

@roberttaylor570 Personally, I find it worth it.  It costs around 8 pounds a month for the package I have and I always find something to watch, more-so than terrestrial TV.  There's a good variety and it's very convenient for binge-watching a lot of programmes at once!  Are you a big TV watcher?

janer1967

I agree it is worth it if you watch lots of tv it's not a huge cost I have the multi appliance package so you can have it on 2 devices at same time the single package is about £5.99

Chloe_Scope

There are also a lot of Netflix originals which are really good!
