Netflix - What gems have you found?

Anyone else had trouble with Netflix buffering this week?
It's been OK during the day, but almost useless in the evenings.

Are you with Sky? Mine is being throttled something awful at the moment it seems.

Was thinking of starting travelers then I’ve just Wes it’s being cancelled after season 3. Still worth it?

Don’t want to have another situation like bloodline and it’s stty, rushed ending.

‘Hurricane’ about a Polish squadron in BoB. Interesting story but I’m sure that the flying sequences may have some of the more ‘expert’ viewers spluttering a bit.

Had a problem last night through Virgin, it wasn't buffering but was saying what I wanted to watch wasn't available at this time (or similar), in the end I gave up and just used the Netflix app on my TV and it was fine.

Just binge-watched Sunderland 'Til I Die. 8 episode documentary following Sunderland in the Championship last season. No spoiler alert needed as we all know what happened, but it is nevertheless compulsively watchable. You'll actually find yourself rooting for them even if you're not a Sunderland fan and almost hoping there's a different ending to the one you obviously know will happen.

Reading all of the above comments I’m none the wiser as to whether it’s any good or not.

Worth a watch?

It's a true story of a pedophile and a 12 year old girl. It's told almost exclusively via talking heads from the god fearing family involved, including the victim. So it's not your typical third party documentary/reporting on a story that happened 40 years ago.

It's perhaps a little long, but the decisions made by the people involved are genuinely staggering. I mean I know it was the 70's but as people have said, it really is jaw dropping.

Russian doll, interesting.

Saw it has good reviews, I must be missing something as my wife and I watched episode one and neither of us could be bothered to put episode two on afterwards.

Watched E1 on Friday and really enjoyed it.

Guess we’re all different.

[anonymous-user]

i watched it all still not sure what happened but the acting is brilliant.

The wife may or may not have got me hooked on Gossip Girl.

Anyone tried Nightflyer yet?

It should be right up my street, but I struggled to get through 50% of the first episode before I switched it off.

Yes with sky fibre, we are out in the sticks so not fastest but its been OK up until these last few days.

We watched Abducted this morning, Jesus, what an eye opener.
I can't believe how niave the parents were, and how easy B manipulated everybody.

I enjoyed it, had an Event Horizon feel to it.

Watched the first episode today. Sort of space horror but difficult so far to empathise with any of the characters. Going to stick with it for a bit and see if it improves.

Kingdom

Big budget Korean thriller set in the middle ages which is a blend of Game of Thrones meets the Walking Dead, except the zombies run and everything is fast paced. Brilliant, about as original as it gets

Just discovered episodes after binge watching Friends for the millionth time. It’s not the funniest show but it’s strangely watchable.

Absolutely loving "Final Space" - kinda fills the void left behind by Futurama. Not quite as funny as R&M, but I find it more likable.

Well worth a watch, but it does need a couple of episodes to warm to it.
