Title: Netflix Recommendations
Post by: Karabiner on December 22, 2020, 10:27:26 PM
I've just watched the most recent Better Call Saul series and Queen's Gambit and enjoyed both.

I'm now stuck and can't really find anything that appeals.

Please suggest away..

I watched 'The Comey Rule', a few weeks back.

Nothing groundbreaking, but passed an evening.

I would say Tiger King is essential pandemic viewing for the WTF factor

Russian Doll is a very smart comedy that made me laugh a lot

Really liked Mindhunter if you don't mind the grizzly subject.

If you can do subtitles then Dark is probably the best German TV show ever made, but the plot is quite confusing.

Umbrella Academy is kind of fun and dumb - I enjoyed it more than most super hero type stuff.

Schitt’s Creek. I found this following a recommendation by Mrs Coren-Mitchell.

It was in a newspaper column, she didn’t recommend it to me personally. We don’t have time for that sort of conversations in my fantasy meeting with her...

If you don't mind subtitles then I think The Twelve on Channel 4 (Walter Presents) is well worth a spin

On Netflix, if you like things like Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul then would recommend Fargo if you haven't seen it.

On I player there's a very good canadian detective series called Cardinal that I really liked

Inhuman resources, french subtitles. Eric Cantona does a great job in my opinion

Bit late to the party but ‘don’t fuck with cats’ blew my mind. Was hooked. Amazing watching

Fascinating fact, I live around the corner from the internet cafe in that show. Won't write anymore cus I will spoiler, weird!

I didn't like it. But can't really say why as I will also spoiler! A bunch of keyboard warriors!

It's a really interesting story that I wasn't previously aware of but Don't fuck with cats is a pretty annoying documentary. One episode ends with us, the viewer, finding out something and then the entire next episode is interviews with police officers as they slowly work their way to learning what we already know.

Also, as Bergeroo said, the keyboard warriors were super annoying as well.

The Kominsky Method is, if I may be bold, probably right down your street, Karabiner

I also loved Afterlife (despite significant reservations about liking anything post-Office Gervais)

I lolled regularly throughout both - and there’s the added benefit that each episode is sub-25 mins

I would venture to add that actually all of the internet messageboard people that they interviewed in the show added absolutely nothing to the police investigation whatsoever! I also found the show really annoying and I hated how the story was told via these people sitting in front of their computers!

I watched the first episode of Fargo last night which didn't quite hook me.

Season's greetings.

Frank is back, for a short while...

Might watch the first 5 seasons of that again, and just pretend 6 didn't happen.

Another good 30 minute comedy on Netflix is Norseman.

I realized later that for some strange reason I had started watching season#3 of Fargo.

I'm now viewing it from the beginning of the first series and quite enjoying it.

I've also discovered "Ozark" which is about a financial advisor who launders money for a cartel-boss - definitely worth a watch imo.

I thoroughly enjoyed the first series of Fargo after watching it from the beginning.

I was however slightly worried about the free dessert which accompanied my latest Shanghai-Shanghai deliveroo this evening with Ozark in mind.

Fortunately it turned out to be lychees.

Glad you liked it in the end, really enjoyed the second series too and the 3rd needed an ep or two to get into.

Ozark consistently great all the way through - have you watched all that is available yet ?

Just finished series one of Ozark - the toenails have put me off starting series two for a day or two but I'll man up soon.

Started series two of Fargo and I think it's starting to grow on me.

One of my golfing buddies recommended "The Code" an Australian show(two series) about hackers and politicos which I really enjoyed.

I thought End of the F***ing World (https://www.netflix.com/gb/title/80175722) was pretty awesome.

I struggle to categorise it which is probably why it stood out so much.

The lead guy in You is a dead ringer for Kinboshi.
