Netflix - What gems have you found?

[rich85uk]

Another vote for Narcos

I hope Netflix add the directors Brazilian films to the foreign film list, quite similar to the series

[Johnny]

Just added Narcos to the list given all the about praise.

Can't be bothered to look back through, but anyone mentioned Danger 5. Really bizarre Australian show about a group of spies in WW2 going on various missions with the main aim to kill Hitler. Looks really cheap and is meant to be 60s in style, full of cocktails, smoking and hotpants.

I had it suggested to me by Netflix during an Archer binge, it's truly awful.

I think I'll give Narcos a try after the good reviews on here.

I treated myself to the day off today so that I could watch it in peace whilst the missus is at work, it's phenomenal. I'm usually browsing whilst watching shows but not this one!

Danger 5. I've never been so confused by a program in my life, I genuinely thought I'd taken some acid















Please watch an episode.

Danger 5 is amazing!

I binged the 1st and only series of The Fuzz, a total cliche in the best of ways and really funny, ruined my memories of Sesame Street though.

Trying desperately hard to just have it on in the background while i work. Failing miserably and doing no work.

Watched the first episode of Narcos last night. Think it maybe the first thing since HoC and BCS to have me wanting to watch every episode!

It really was a brilliant show - I really like the fact it's mostly in a foreign language as that sort of thing makes me pay attention more. Spiral, a French cop show which is also on Netflix, was the last show to grab my attention that much.

I only have stuff I've watched previously playing whilst I work, otherwise I would either miss the show or not do my work,

I recently started watching this and I am well into it now.

Having read a lot of books on Pablo Escobar, his associates and the cartel in general, so far it seems fairly accurate.

I do think they could have gone into a bit more detail about certain situations i.e. owning football clubs, the war against M19, explaining the "routes in further detail, the impact the drugs had in America in more depth and the sheer extent of his wealth, yes they mentioned the money and the 800 homes etc but they never showed this, I think a few scenes showing him spending obscene amounts of money on extravagant things rather than simply referencing the figures would have made the viewer understand his extravagance better.

Considering the life he lived, it seems there's too much crammed in too quickly.

Started Narcos yesterday. Good but not really caught up in it yet. Will watch a few more today.

Dreamland is an Australian series, and it's very funny.

[bingybongy]

Still Game. A BBC Scotland sitcom from a few years ago.

I found it properly funny at the time and it still is.

[NoNeed]

Watching the original 1950's 12 angry men, still one of my favorite films.

Thanks for posting this, I was a bit bored last night and thought I'd give it a quick go.

Wow.

I really wasn't prepared It's like Darkplace meets Thunderbirds meets some mind altering chemicals
