Netflix - What gems have you found?

[B17NNS]

Just finished 2 British Police drama type series things.

'River' and 'Unforgotten'.

Never saw them when aired. Cracking stuff though.

Californication this is one of the funniest shows I have seen, well written the camera shots are great watch it you’ll see for yourself , been putting it off for a while because of the x files ,but it is a must see be warned not ideal for young ones .

It is excellent. Borderline soft porn mind you but the writing and cinematography is excellent. I really like Duchovny as an actor.

Monty Python getting a big addition this week then.

Watched Operation Odessa as per earlier posts.

I liked it and what a crazy story. How that Tony is still alive I'll never know.

Really enjoyed it - the audaciousness of it all.....

Also - Wild Wild West - it's compelling enough but I can't help feeling it's about 2 episodes too long.

Lost in Space - can't say I'm hooked (2 episodes in), we'll give it another try tonight I think but it feels like one of those you end up drifting away from half way through the series.

And Life of Brian and Holy Grail look absolutely superb on a 4K TV (supposedly they are HD quality), I've only watched them on VHS or downloaded, but the quality Netflix has them on is on another level.

And they are more relevant and funny today than ever.

Beyond Skyline

I can only describe it as a bang up to date SciFi B movie , BUT I loved it!

make sure you stay to the end

Operation Odessa is excellent! I love the bond between the crim's. Ballsy as hell.

Not see it mentioned yet so a quick plug for The Alienist - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4604612/?ref_=fn_al_t...

"Crime reporter John Moore meets with psychologist Dr. Laszlo Kreizler to investigate a serial killer in New York during the late 19th century."

Only a couple of episodes in so far but really enjoying it. Strong cast, written and directed by the guys behind True Detective and Drive and some cracking production values

Well worth a look..

"Dope"

The story of the drug trade from both law enforcement and user perspective. Fascinating yet tragic at the same time.

Seasons 1-4 is up there for me a some of the best TV I've watched, genuinely funny and well written. I wasn't as enthralled with the reboot seasons but they were still a pretty good light-hearted watch.

Agreed, watched these when they first came out in 2007, series one to three are great. Watched three episodes of season four and just found it to be somewhat repetitive. Gave up after that. Worth a watch though

I think I read about this, it has,IIRC, future POTUS & Rough Rider Teddy Roosevelt as the local Chief of Police!
Looked good, will need to get up early to stream it(only time my internet is up to it )

That one certainly kept me watching! Not what I was expecting (or could ever have guessed actually!)

Me and the hatchling finally finished Lost In Space.

Loved it, it managed to grab her attention and make her properly care about the characters.

Hope it gets a second season.

Money Monster. fking brilliant.

Greg Davies, You Magnificent beast, very funny, well worth a watch.
