Need new Netflix tv Shows to watch

[the Q]

GREAT series

I’m on season 5, still great but the mr Kaplan stuff was a low point for me.

 

[DaddyChoc]

When They See Us. Remember the Central Park Five? It's about that case. Pretty powerful through the first two episodes.

interesting flick... dang shame!

 

[Husky25]

I mentioned a couple months ago that I watched the six episode mini-series Bad Blood with Kim Coates (Tig Trager in Sons of Anarchy) and Anthony LaPaglia about the Montreal Mob. LaPaglia's character died, but the series got an 8 episode second season.

The first "season" was based on actual events. I don't know how true the second is.

Last episode with all that Wise went thru was horrible

Love Death + Robots. Anthology of animated short features (mostly 10-15 minutes, some even shorter). Hit and miss, all over the board, but some are definitely worth the watch. 18 episodes. Surprised this hasn't been mentioned yet (unless I missed it). Maybe a bit of Black Mirror mixed w/ 80's adult animated film Heavy Metal.

Yea, I’ve been making my way through it here and there. Some of the animation quality is absolutely incredible.

I watched both seasons. This is what you would expect from Canadians trying to re-make the Sopranos. It is a decent show but they cut a lot of corners. The cast is too small, the scenes are too small, and the low budget just shows up in a dozen places. It is also a little melodramatic. I would give it a 6 or 7 out of 10.

I've been streaming "I'm Sorry." It aired on Tru TV but I never caught it. Not for the easily offended, it's profane and wildly inappropriate at times, but funny as well. Stars Andrea Savage, also Tom Everett Scott, Jason Mantzoukas.

 

[Waquoit]

The original Perry Mason is now streaming on Amazon. I caught this snippet:

Perry: "Had the deceased been drinking the night of the murder?"
Coroner: "Yes"
Perry: "What was hid blood alcohol content?"
Coroner: "Point-one-five, approaching intoxication"

 

[the Q]

Just finished blacklist S6. I don’t think many shows can have a season 6 that good.

 

[Jay-Bone]

I like Dark. It's German and dubbed over, but still watchable. Its like Stranger Things meets 12 Monkeys. Not as sophmoric as the former and not as intense as the latter. Hard to keep track of the characters though.

My wife just got me in to this. Love it. Though Jason Matzoukas is playing himself ( read: the same as every character he has ever played ) his scenes are great and the lead actress is funny and sneaky sexy.

Agreed about Matzoukas, but so far he isn't totally overexposed so I haven't gotten tired of his shtick yet.

Also agreed about Savage. I wasn't really aware of her until a recurring role for a while on iZombie. She's also avoided being overexposed.

Those 2 were paired together at least once before as a married couple in "Sleeping With Other People."

 

[nwhoopfan]

Started binging "Unbelievable." Crime drama. A serial rapist who apparently knows enough about how police investigate rape cases that he was able to stay off the radar until a sheer coincidence. Kaitlyn Dever and Toni Collette are the only actors involved I was familiar with previously. Tough subject material but it's good. Dever deserves to get a lot more publicity than she has so far. First saw her in a semi-recurring role in "Justified." She's been providing strong performances for a long time.


edit--apparently it's based on actual events

it begins in Lynnwood, WA, a hop skip and a jump north of where I live

 

[J187Money]

Dead To Me

Christina Applegate stars. She's a widow that befriends another grieving woman, Linda Cardellini (ER, Freaks and Geeks, Mad Men). The twist at the end of the first episode was pretty good.

My wife made me watch it - I was pleasantly surprised.

Also just watched "I-land" - was ok to pass the time on the road in a hotel, but wasn't great.

Agreed. I was starting to get tired of it but season 6 was legit.

 

[the Q]

Agreed. I was starting to get tired of it but season 6 was legit.

Season 4 with Mr Kaplan was pretty bad and 5 started out a bit slow...but it really picked up. And I so called the big secret.

But the rest of the seasons have been rock solid.

Has the second season started yet? We really enjoyed S1.

So my gym upgraded their equipment to allow access to online services like WatchESPN, Netflix, and Hulu. I have a Netflix account and just finished Mindhunter.

So I'm in need of recommendations for a new show to watch. I'm not a gory, horror fan but enjoy mystery, action, and definitely historic/semi historic based shows.

Any recommendations?

Rockford Files reruns, Spin and Marty, live UConn football.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Started binging "Unbelievable."

Finished it. Really really good. It's almost 2 different shows that don't tie together until near the end. It starts with a young woman in Washington who reports being raped. After being questioned relentlessly by detectives, they point out some discrepancies in her story and ultimately pressure her into recanting her story. Her life pretty much falls apart.

Then it jumps forward about 3 years to Colorado. Two detectives in different jurisdictions working a rape case by sheer luck discover there are similarities in their 2 cases and begin working together.

Strong performances throughout. As I noted above this is based on true events.

 

[HuskyHawk]

So a few shows I've watched.

Netflix
Altered Carbon: good. thought provoking, interesting premise.
Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norris (BBC): Read the book. So far the show is better. Solid short series.
Mindhunter: top notch. Doesn't get better.

Prime
Carnival Row: Fantastic. Just tremendous TV.
The Boys: Dark look at superheros. Quite well done. Karl Urban is awesome.
Good Omens: Fantastic book and they did a great job with the show. David Tenant never disappoints.

Hulu
Catch 22: Good, but the pacing is too slow. If you haven't seen the movie, watch the movie.

 

[Marat]

Just to add a few pretty good ones I watched recently:

Amazon:
Fleabag - (8.5/10) pretty funny
Carnival row (8/10)
Jim Gaffigan/Quality Time (8/10)

NetFlix:
The Spy (9/10)
Red Sea Diving Resort (7.5/10)
In the Dark (8/10)

 

[nwhoopfan]

Season 2 of "I'm Sorry" is really dragging. I might not finish it.

 

[navery12]

Season 5 of Peaky Blinders is now up
