El Chapo is almost as good, but it is very similar (same production company)

Infinity Chamber isn't a bad one to watch, chap trapped in a prison with an AI warden watching over him.

Also, 13 Hours has just been put on Netflix. Film about the attack on the US Embassy in Benghazi, Libya.

Thanks for ideas, El Chapo looks very good as does Godless as mentioned above.
Think they'll both keep me entertained for a while.

Don't think I've ever watched an animation TV programme. The other great US comedy series I loved was Cheers.
You're missing out:

  • Archer
  • Rick and Morty
  • Family Guy
  • The Simpsons
  • Futurama
  • King of the Hill
  • etc...
Honourable mention for The Venture Brothers, very much worth a watch.

I've started black mirror. Holy crap it's dark.

Also, Netflix has a bug im sure.

I watched the first series and naturally just keep playing the next. But instead of going to series 2 episode 1 it started series 4 episode 1. Infuriating

On the plus side though the USS Callister episode was surreal. I now think about poor Google home and Alexa and feel sorry for them!!

Don’t worry all episodes are standalone anyway. You don’t need to watch them in any particular order.

That was the first one I watched following a recommendation on here and I just didn't get it at all - gave up on the whole show.

But a few weeks later I tried another episode. Ended up binging the whole 4 seasons over one weekend. Fantastic stuff.

The one with the Prime Minister and the pig put me off somewhat. Dark, clever, but just a bit too dark for me to binge on. I should try the odd episode now and then just to see if it's better in small doses.

Every episode of Black Mirror is very different. I am a fan, but it can be hit and miss.
For me the standout episodes are the Christmas special (season 2 episode 4) and the one with the Cameron-ish prime minister (1st episode of season 1).

Watching that one as i type this, similar to the USS callister one ins so much as it's the AI side of things as the focus. Is the song she sung the same as the girl was singing in the one with the bikes?

Yes, thanks for that.

"White Christmas was another surreal one". It's definatley a show that you need to watch and not fart about with your mobile etc.

Exactly the same thing happened to me, I thought it was odd. I’ve never seen that before on Netflix.

As said though, it doesn’t matter as none of them are linked.

I know but would do my head in is it was something sequential.

Shocking although not surprising. Horrific in expanse.
