Just watched the dig, and loved it. I'll try the other two based on your recommendation.

I wasn't impressed with News of the World unfortunately

What do you like Steve? .....there's loads for everyone....even my 83 year old mum

I really enjoyed Bloodline, Lillyhammer, the sinner, MindHunter

Ozark.

Crime,Mysteries...something that makes you think.......we like to binge these six parters,only subscribed because normal telly is tedious........Netflix seemed a popular choice.

You'd probably like Unsolved Mysteries then. Watched the first series and it was alright

Netflix is rubbish. Try and subscribe to the Criterion Channel. An unbelievable selection of films from all over the world. There has never been or never will be such an epic channel for films and all for around ten pounds a month.

Designated Survivor, seasons one and two

What's it about?

Ozark is superb

I had no inclination of watching any of the 'additional' channels although I subscribe.

Tried a few of the previous recommendations (not just Netflix). Standouts included:

The Investigation:

BBC? Subtitled Swedish series. I never thought that I could watch a subtitled film, nevermind, a full series.

The End of the F***ing World:

Brilliant series. Dark humour in spades. Reminds me of Ian Banks novels. A deep look into our conventions.

Black Mirror:

Standalone episodes. A view into the near future regarding IT / Social media platforms. Some of the episodes are crap but still make a must see. Some episodes are simply remarkable.

Narcos,

Criminal. United Kingdom
Suburra Blood on Rome
One of us
Undercover
Top Boy
Bad Blood

On iPlayer try The Bridge series 1-4 if you’ve not seen it

I second undercover. Fantastic series. Watching the last kingdom now, it’s very good indeed.

ozark, narcos, mindhunter all great.

just recently watched 'the boys' on prime. very, very funny and rather dark.

about a group of people who have it in for superheroes.

BBC iPlayer currently has all series of The Fall and Spiral on it. Both superb. I find many Netflix series tend to drag storylines out , often blatantly playing for another series rather than plot resolution.

The Uncanny Counter

fury is a good film, about a tank crew in WW2

Dreadful film IMO. Unrealistic American heroism crap.

Don't f**k with Cats
Cecil Hotel
Unsolved Mysteries
The Staircase
Making a Murderer
The Neighbour (I think this is the right title).

All the above TV documentaries, regarding murders and unsolved cases.

As a film, watched Zodiac at the weekend starring Jake Gyllenhall (sp?) and Robert Downey Jnr which was very good.

If you don't mind subtitles, "Deadwind" set in Finland is fantastic.
Second series just as good as the first.

If you like these you have to watch “the jinx” amazing documentary. Not sure where you would find it though but would be well worth a search.

Found it available on Sky, so will definitely give that a watch this weekend.

Has anyone watched Your Honor with Bryan Cranston saw a trailer for it last night ....can anyone recommend it?
After we have tubbed Arsenal we fancy binging on a box set....could this be the one?

No comments on Your Honor......watched a couple of episodes tonight...Cranston on fine form in this.

Just watched the first one

Looks like it’s going to be a good’un

Lupin is excellent. It's french but dubbed quite well in English.

I’ve watched the first couple. Very far fetched and quite predictable but a nice easy watch.

Not sure if animation is your thing... and generally I’m not that into it..
But Rick and Morty is one of the finest things I’ve watched in years.

Ozark was excellent and there is a fourth series planned for this year.
Must thank those who recommended Queens Gambit. You don’t need to be a chess player too get the tension of the matches and it bounces along at a good pace.

Fargo.

(note the FULL STOP / Period at the end of this suggestion.)

Whilst I enjoyed it, it reminded me in parts of the most excellent film “the Thomas crown affair” (the remake with Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo)

Unforgotten is on there now, most excellent series with Nicola Walker starring.

Not Netflix but BBC I player.The Terror a 10 part series based on a true story.I thought it was brilliant and hard not to binge watch.

"Murder amongst the Mormons" is my shout.

Spotted it on Friday and thought it was ace!

We just got the new series of Unforgotten 🥲🥲🥲
I guess they’re setting it up for Sanjeev?

Schitt’s Creek
Parks and Recreation
F Is For Family

The Sinner series 1 and 2 are really good, but I thought season 3 was poor.

13 Hours, is a good film, especially with the current situation.

Watched official secrets last night. Great film about the Iraq War whistle-blower Katharine Gun. Well worth a watch

Better Call Saul

Brand New Cherry Flavour
