Netflix - What gems have you found?

[pidsy]

Aaron Hernandez - really interesting watch. The look behind the scenes at college football was an eye opener. He was an idiot but clearly hugely damaged by a young age.

Now watching Pandemic - great timing by Netflix considering coronavirus at the moment.
Technical doc but makes you realise all the work done by people to stop the next big flu outbreak.

My husband was heavily involved in the behind the scenes when the ebola outbreak occurred a few years ago. He was at Heathrow doing screenings etc but he was also collating data and converting it into useful stats etc as well as inputing how to improve efficiency of screenings etc. He was so so busy at that time (for almost a year). I didn't really appreciate it as much as I should have done at the time but I was basically a single Mum for that year (newborn baby and a 4yr old!) but the logistics of it all to stop it spreading to the UK was phenomenal.

Yep. Absolutely blown away by the scale of the organisation doing that work. Extremely thankful to all of them.

Hopefully so, I've nearly finished series 3, brilliant bit of TV. Really enjoyed it, the show focused on prince philip was the stand out episode.
Really looking forward to series 4.

Alongside the other 72,999,999 folk that watched it I'm now also an expert on the history and general machinations of the royal family. Prior to this I knew fk all.

It was excellent to be fair.

It was ok, nothing new, found myself browsing the web a few times during certain episodes but managed to stick with it. Would probably give it a 5 or 6 out of 10

Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina S3 part 1 is up
Binged all 8 episodes today, thought it was great, dont really remember much about the first couple of seasons but dont remember it being this good

I'm up to episode 5, it gave me something to do whilst sat on an observation platform.

[JagLover]

Just finished Dark Season 2

Fascinating series IMO

[eccles]

Caught up with Cheer yesterday and really enjoyed it.

[ben5575]

Yep. Currently on a Brina Binge as well.

Good so far.

I don't know if it's been mentioned before but I'm loving the Kominski Method at the moment. It's a nice easy gentle comedy with a good script and great acting. A good solid 8/10

We absolutely loved both series of that

I know it’s not recent but my wife and I have been watching ‘you’

She’s read the books, apparently season 1 is like the first book but season 2 diverges from the plot a bit more.

On season 2 and really enjoying it.

Don't know if it's been mentioned before, but just finished Mesiah. Thought the production and story line was exceptional!

[PH5121]

I've been watching 'Z Nation' which has a humerous zombie plot. The later series are a bit strained for plot, but it's all good mindless entertainment.

We also started watching 'Zoo' last evening which seems quite good. It's a teen rating so we can watch it with the kids and it's based upon animals turning against humans.

I really enjoyed this, I was a bit underwhelmed by the final episode, until the ending.................................

Intelligence

Its a bit like Sopranos but not quite as good

Its almost exactly the same as Power but less cheesy and some quite funny moments

I'm binging through it now

Its from at least 10 years so most people here probably not seen it

8 / 10 from me
