Netflix Box Set Recommendations

[Davey S2]

Had Netflix since Christmas and now fully up to date with Homeland (brilliant).

Any recommendations for other good box sets? House of Cards and Narcos look good. Any others?

Thanks

If you haven't seen it already, suits is quite good an I'm enjoying Brooklyn 99 at the moment.

Both excellent. Narcos is especially good IMHO.

As you've said, Narcos and House of Cards, are great shows thoroughly recommend them. House of Cards season 3 is a slog though, especially compared to 1 and 2, 4 is improved on 3. Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright are immense.

If you're into Superhero/Comic book stuff, Daredevil is awesome. Luke Cage has a great first half, second half is a bit meh. I've not watched Jessica Jones yet, so not sure how that is.

Some others, not all Netflix originals
Breaking Bad, hands down one of the best TV shows ever made.
Black Mirror
Stranger Things
Making a Murderer
Mythbusters - Not the complete set, still great though.
Last Chance U - I really enjoyed this, but if you're not into sports or American Football you may not.
Luther
Better Call Saul (prequel to Breaking Bad)

[Davey S2]

Thanks both.

I started watching Suits when it first came out but never really got into it.

I'm loving 'The Americans' - 2 Soviet spies living in 70s (I think) America and doing spy things whilst living as a family, the first episode is a lot more action based than the rest of the series.
IMDB says there's 6 seasons, I think I'm halfway through the second one.
edit - it's on Amazon Prime, not Netflix. Sorry.

Sons of Anarchy.
Considering the fact I can't stand Charlie Hunam (sp) and the series set in Northern Ireland is risible, I blasted through all 7 series in a couple of months.

[DoctorX]

Even if you're not into superhero stuff, Daredevil is a must.

[bunglesprout]

Narcos is excellent.

Although not really a boxset as there is only one series so far, but Spotless is brilliant. Quirky, dark, laugh out loud funny in places. The feel reminds me very much of In Bruges.

I watched the first episde of Designated Survivor last night, excellent start so hopefully it'll continue.

[TheOversteerLever]

I'm four episodes through Peaky Blinders and it's been great so far.

[Richyvrlimited]

Archer & Rick and Morty are great/hilarious 20 minute distrations

[Bullett]

Sense8 is good but a bit wtf at times.
The Expanse is well made Sci-fi.
The Crown is beautifully made.
Stranger Things - 80's ET style monster thing.
A series of unfortunate events - love this with the kids but fine for adults as well.
The OA - love it or hate it
Happy Tree Friends - Cartoon, not for kids. Just watch it

Good news Bunglesprout, there is a 2nd series that is just as enjoyable as the 1st. Enjoy the rest of your week bingeing on that one

[Davey S2]

Thanks for all the recommendations.

Started on House of Cards last night and already good 2 episodes in.

If you want something relatively easy going to watch, but addictive, try Orange Is The New Black. I wasn't sure if it would be my thing but ended up going through all 52 episodes in less than a month and can't wait for season 5 now.

[rustyuk]

Ricky and Morty is head and shoulders above the rest.

Don't think anyone has mentioned The Glitch either...

Is there?!? Great news! Is it on Netflix yet? I had a quick look late last night and couldn't find anything. I'm on Series 2 of Line of Duty at the moment. Really enjoying it. Highly recommended as well.

Archer - don't let the fact it's animated put you off, it is NOT for kids & very funny

Is that the prison one? My wife really liked the look of that.
