Netflix Box Set Recommendations

[Adz The Rat]

The OA - different, loved it
Stranger Things - very 80's, very good
Shooter - just started last night, fantastic so far
Santa Clarita Diet - brilliant, very funny
Luke Cage - Marvel, not quite as good as daredevil
Daredevil - probably the best Marvel thing so far
Power - gritty and violent gangster series produced by 50 Cent, very very good

We have been watching more on Netflix these days than normal tv.

As mentioned Daredevil is superb.
We are liking iZOMBiE too. My wife was very sceptical about it but really likes it after watching a few episodes.

If you liked Mythbusters you might like "White rabbit project" starring Grant Imahara, Tory Belleci and Kari Byron from mythbusters.

My other half really likes "shadow hunters" and "once upon a time" too.

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.

Just checked, both series one and two are still available on Netflix.

Braquo - French Sweeney. Subtitles but well worth a look.
Spotless - One of the best series we watched last year.
The Crown - Don't let the subject matter put you off, really well made drama.
Breaking Bad - The reason we got Netflix.

Ive just had a quick look on the app, I cant find series 2 of Spotless. Is it UK Netflix you have seen this on?

Precinct 75\The 75 - Documentary about "the most corrupt" office in NYPD history, it's mental.

Community - comedy set in a community college, lots of TV and film references, first few season end in a big paintball competition.

It's always sunny in Philadelphia - funny, often wrong\dark funny, 20 min episodes, 12 seasons

The Barkley Marathons - Documentary about a guy who started an ultra marathon back in the 80s, he is an oddball and the people who take part need their heads looking at, it's great, here's the blurb...

"A famous prison escape sparks the idea for a cult-like race that has seen only 10 finishers in its first 25 years.
This award-winning, oddly inspiring, and wildly funny documentary reveals the sports world’s most guarded secret."

Peaky Blinders - like the sopranos but in 1920s Brum

Dexter - think that is on Netflix - a serial killer who kills other serial killers and other bad people

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.

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

Yes. I was hooked after a couple of episodes, found it well written, well acted and highly entertaining.

Oh and there's lots of lesbionics.

And there's lots of boobies in it.
