After it was recommended on here, I watched House of Ninjas, very good. It's about a family of ex Ninjas, trying to stay ex.

Not on Netflix but The Cleaning Lady looks promising after watching the first episode.

4 in now and I’m ashamed to say that as a 42 year old fairly well educated person - there is so much that I didn’t know.

Some really shocking bits of history that I wasn’t aware of.

It's pretty implausible, but okay for midweek when there's nothing else to watch.

Griselda

A series about a female narcos and her rise to power. Its very good, Sophia Vergara is brilliant.
Just came to post the same thing, I'm 3 episodes and and it's very good.
Like Narcos, but with hot angry Latin women.
Same, enjoying it
They've done well to un-hot her !
Its an easy watch, but its no "Narcos"
Finished this last night. Pretty good, although I felt there was a bit of a lack of actual selling of the drugs/building the empire going on. I guess it was all implied, but one minute it felt like she was down and out on her own, next scene is years later and she's running Miami. I just didn't quite get the feeling she was as 'big' as she actually was.

Is that the one with Tom Hardy that was on the BBC a few years back, or another series with the same name? The BBC one is supposed to get a second series, but it's so long since the first one it'll be the first time I hope there's a "previously" catch-up at the start.

Yes, the BBC one.

I'm through the first three episodes now - it's excellent so far.

just started this after watching the WW2 one (which i didnt really take to, perhaps The World at War is all i think of now, as i've seen that a number of times and never tire of watching it)

Amazing about the USA testing the bomb and what it did to the "locals" - the sheer number killed by each bomb both immediate and after the fact is still astounding to this day............................

I gave up before the penultimate episode. Promised a lot, didn't deliver.
