Netflix / Prime recommendations

[Burnley Ace]

Really enjoying One Piece.

[Boss Hogg]

Did you start with Yellowstone first?

We thought 1823 was a little meh tbh but did enjoy 1923

They are doing another spin off, of the 6666 range as well

Thought Yellowstone was very good. Preferred 1823 to 1923 but neither anywhere as good as Yellowstone imo.

Band of Brothers and Pacific starting next Fri 15th. Not seen either yet.

[Claretforever]

Another one here who preferred 1883 to 1923.

They’re doing a spin off of 1883 called Lawmen: Bass Reeves. And yeah, 6666 based upon the ranch one of the characters stayed at in Yellowstone, The Four Sixes. I think I’ve read about a Matthew McConaughy spin off too…unless that is 6666?

Yellowstone itself is brilliant too.

[Carlos the Great]

I was going to recommend "my Octopus teacher"........it's a thrilling documentary about a man and an Octopus and well worth the watch.
But not a thriller.

Yes absolutely fantastic documentary … the connection he made was unbelievable showing just how intelligent this mollusc is to survive in An underwater jungle

No , watched Yellowstone last , well the first one seemed a bit slow plus I’m not a fan of Costner

Build it and they will come .:: never did much after that

[Rick_Muller]

Just watching The fall of the house of Usher on Netflix - very entertaining watch, one episode to go. Bit gory at times, but a great story

[whiffa]

Band of Brothers and Pacific starting next Fri 15th. Not seen either yet.

Band of Brothers in my opinion is the best TV Show ever made.

[Rileybobs]

It’s not on Netflix or Prime so sorry for not being helpful, but last night I watched a French film called Anatomy of a Fall, which was absolutely superb.

[Fretters]

Always wanted to see Band of Brothers. What platform is that on please?

[AlargeClaret]

Big call for Band of Brothers for those that haven’t seen it . Right up there with the “ best of the best “ over the yrs like your Wire,Sopranos,Breaking Bads etc .

[Bosscat]

Bosch Legacy Season 2 on at the moment (started 4 weeks ago) ...

Just starred watching Episode 1 season 2 tonight ... looking good

[groove]

Build it and they will come .:: never did much after that

He was in some cracking films.

[MrTopTier]

Lupin the French heist series is back on Netflix.

The Conference bizarre Swedish slasher movie, the hot tub scene is grizzly.

Bodies with Stephen Graham clever detective series set in past present and future, decent.

[yTib]

not sure what channel it's on but only murders in the building is very good.

martin short, steve martin and selena gomez doing a podcast about solving a whodunnit.

the white lotus and poker face also good shows i've watched recently.

i enjoyed lupin as well so looking forward to seeing the new series.

[wilks_bfc]

Bodies is another we’ve just started watching on Netflix

Only 2 episodes in so getting to grips with it but persisting with it as has Stephen Graham in it

[CaptainKirk]

Big call for Band of Brothers for those that haven’t seen it . Right up there with the “ best of the best “ over the yrs like your Wire,Sopranos,Breaking Bads etc .

Find it amazing that some people haven't seen Band Of Brothers yet.
Then I got to thinking that I have never seen a complete episode of Only Fools and Horses, or Breaking Bad or The Simpsons.
Am I missing anything?

with breaking bad and series 2-8 of the simpsons you are.

Cracking film on Netflix. 'Gold", starring Matthew McConaughey.

[ecc]

Matthew McConaughey: I have a lot of respect for this man. Above all for his White House speech about gun control after the massacre in a school in his hometown.

As an actor, because he decided to start taking on more challenging roles for less money.

I know this thread is about series but his performance in "Dallas Buyers Club" is superb.

Really looking to Slow Horses series 3 starting this Friday, on Apple TV - Series 1 and 2 were excellent

[JarrowClaret]

I have just binge watched all 4 series of sex education and I have got to say I really enjoyed it and was happy and sad at the same time with the ending.

Won’t be to everyone’s taste as there are a number of scenes/ storylines that may be uncomfortable but I found myself really buying in to the characters. Was initially put off by the title and only watched the first episode when I was bored and nothing else to do but really glad I did I got hooked straight away. A bit whimsical but a very evocative look at the sex life of 17 year olds today.

[yTib]

if you don't mind subtitles the chosen one on netflix is very good after a slowish start.

[Kilson810]

Has anyone watched the Watchmen series? Thinking about giving it a go.

[yTib]

i nearly gave up on it but it turned out okay.

it left on a knife edge but apparently they aren't doing another series.

[MrTopTier]

Criminal Record on Apple has a Slow Horses vibe about it.

Boy swallows universe - Netflix Aussie series set in the 80’s comitragedy about two brothers growing up in challenging circumstances.

True Detective this series has Jodie Foster as the lead detective set in the Artic well freaky.

True Detective this series has Jodie Foster as the lead detective set in the Artic well freaky.

We saw the ad for True Detective and decide to binge the first series with Woody Harleson and Matthew McConaughey and it was excellent.

Struggling with series 2 which has Colin Farrell, but 3 episodes in and it’s improving.

I would agree that the first one is superb, the second series gets better, third series was a bit of a struggle, this series starts off strongly. Only releasing them weekly though.

[Kilson810]

Thanks! It's on the watchlist but definitely not at the front of the queue.

[CnBtruntru]

Another shout for Boy swallows Universe, was against watching at first then binged because enjoyed so much.

[CnBtruntru]

True Detective waiting for more to come out, Reacher absolutely spot on to the books and no not Tom Cruise's try at it.

[yTib]

just finished reacher series 2. it's just crash bang wallop stuff but it's okay.

the fella who plays reacher is no actor but neither was arnie.

[ecc]

the fella who plays reacher is no actor but neither was arnie.

We could do with him in defence.

[Fretters]

Last night I watched Society of the Snow, a remake of 'Alive'. It's about what is now referred to as 'the miracle of the Andes', the 16 survivors of the plane crash in 1982. They survived for over 70 days in freezing temperatures with no food. Absolutely incredible but harrowing, the stuff of your worst nightmares.

A brilliantly made film and would highly recommend it.

Additional fee on top of the normal fee, to stop the adverts they’re now putting into stuff that’s “included” with prime

Part of the reason I cancelled Prime, I can still get free delivery if I plan it better so don’t miss the shocking TV that they offer

[ClaretFelix]

I enjoyed Three Pines on Prime. Alfred Molina as a detective in Quebec with a quirky whodunit feel, and with a continuous storyline in the background.
Initially thought it was a bit daft but ended up binging the series.
It's not been renewed for a 2nd series which is disappointing, seems the production companies couldn't agree on the way it should go.

I believe the main character Chief Inspector Armand Gamache played by Molina, is to Canadians what Poirot is to Belgians, with many books having been written.

[GodIsADeeJay81]

The final episode of The Grand Tour, Sand Job, is on Amazon

[Vegas Claret]

Find it amazing that some people haven't seen Band Of Brothers yet.
Then I got to thinking that I have never seen a complete episode of Only Fools and Horses, or Breaking Bad or The Simpsons.
Am I missing anything?

I'd hardly seen any Only fools and horses until I started going on the supporters coaches to games years ago - I think I've seen them all multiple times now

Breaking Bad - unmissable TV imho, one of the best things I've ever seen

[Foshiznik]

Shooter is a good show about an ex army sniper framed for assassinating the president. It’s like Reacher but much better.

Southland is the best show ever created.

Just watched 3 part true crime docu-series American Nightmare on Netflix. Solid 7/10

As always Molina was enough of a reason to watch Three Pines, shame it ended after the 1 series

Love/hate on ITVX. It's about a Dublin organised crime group. Took me a bit to get into it but I'm hooked now. The second series of Kin has just come out on the iPlayer as well.

Kin on iPlayer is very good

[Goody1975]

A good watch, not too deep. Just something you look forward to watching the next episode.

[Goody1975]

if you have 'The Diplomat' it's well worth a watch, excellent

Excellent show, bit late to the party with this one but hate leaving series half finished so it had to wait. Glad to hear that a second series is out this year

Now I've watched that I'm looking at new recommendations, preferably on Netflix.

[Tricky Trevor]

The Chelsea Detective. Adrian Scarborough very good as the lead. Standard detective tales but good twists and bounces along.
All the write-ups say Acorn Media but I found it on Prime.

[Tricky Trevor]

Repetition.
