Netflix - What gems have you found?

[-crookedtail-]

Just finished binging on La Mante off the back of some reviews in this thread. I would very much recommend it if you don't mind subtitles or if you understand French even better.

Also trying to get into the unabomber, not engrossed so far but only a couple of episodes in so will see how it pans out.

I've also just finished La Mante and thought it was very good. I like the Nordic Noir dramas and this French thriller with a few surprises was equally as good. Finished watching Unabomber recently and this was also a good watch.

Just finished The Expanse S2. excellent hard Sci-Fi.

4 eps into S1. It's really rather good.

Interesting storylines and I look forward to seeing how they all come together (or not). Based on what I've seen so far, I suspect there will be a lot of twists and turns. Great TV and very bingable. Sadly Mrs75 hates anything in space.

Anyone seen the outsiders?

Watched the first episode and it certainly has promise.

Halfway through S1. It's pretty good so far.

I have been watching Fauda, so far it has been strong enough to retain my interest. For a foreign series it has been good, and according to some reviews it is fairly close to real life [well the concept anyway]. Worst part is the subtitles

Was going to give it a go after seeing the BBC report a few days ago. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-42566284

Watched Bright last night.

Pretty poor effort I felt.

Unlocked - tight little terrorism/spy action flick (Noomi Rapace, Michael Douglas, Toni Collette, John Malkovitch) quite entertaining, though formulaic.

[Patrick Bateman]

Dark is probably the best thing I've seen recently. Quite complex and you need to pay attention but worth it.

[kowalski655]

Season 2 of Van Helsing due soon. I liked the 1st.
Will also have to finish Defenders,as Jessica Jones s.2 is due

Now Netflix just need to sort out new iZombie and Santa Clarita Diet

It's worth the wait.

Just started second season of Dirk Gently. People who want to know what's going on will be... disappointed

Unfortunately I don't know if this'll get a third season, but it's a real pleasure to watch.

Enter The Warrior's Gate - a not unpleasant background 'family' (no bad language, blood, sex) martial arts film. All in all the essence of a "TV(film) dinner"

I’m looking forward to Altered Carbon, a sci-fi with more than a nod to the Bladerunner visuals (read: blatant rip-off) about the future where consciousness is transferred from your body to new ‘sleeve’ (clone body) when you die. Starts Feb 2nd

Sounds like Surrogates, the Bruce Willis and Rosamund Pike film.

As a long time Jimi Hendrix fan I watched what was advertised as a biopic "All is by my side".

Absolute st.

Why on earth would anyone make a film about him if they were not allowed to use his music?

The end of the fking world is fking brilliant, if you like your comedy a bit dark you'll love this, for some reason it reminded me of Flowers (the TV show not plants)

Have this a shot. A bit slow in the first couple of episodes, but then really picks up. Thought it was very good

USS Calister? I could've watched another 30 minutes, loved it. I felt like that about episode 2 though with the parental device, very on the nose. Episode 3 and 4 (Crocodile and Hang the DJ) were perfectly paced for me.

I enjoyed the callister one, good ending and comeuppance. Best since white bear I’d say, despite the twist/point/statement being revealed early on. Got a thing about Cristin Milioti too so that was a nice add. Credence also to the chap that is the spit of Matt Damon, good performance.

Having seen the trailer, I am hoping it is better, I have a concern it is a dud.

The Books are great.
