Just looking for something good on Netflix. What have you enjoyed lately? Anything really good to cheer me up as I’m feeling a bit depressed.

I liked the Kominsky method but I don't know if it is uplifting.

another thing I love on Netflix is Good Girls it irritated me a bit at first, but I stuck with it & then after a couple of episodes I loved it. It's far fetched of course but it's not meant to be factual, it's great escapism & good fun.

Made in Italy is on Amazon Prime.

We just watched Rocket Man last night. A musical drama based on Elton John's life. Turn your volume up and enjoy the music!
Note - we had to close our eyes during the love scenes. A bit too graphic, but didn't last long shock

Bohemian Rhapsody, a much better film.

It may be a bit racy, but a new season of secx education is out. There's a lot of Welsh teens having sex, but it is well written and funny too. Those young people!

Modern Family is really funny no swearing or violence. The characters build up delightfully like Schitts Creek another good one.

Modern Family and Schitts Creek were both brilliant.
OH is enjoying Sex Ed. Not for me...
Thanks Lincslass.

I agree Modern Family and Schitt's Creek were brilliant.

I also enjoyed Cuckoo.

And Last Tango in Halifax on Iplayer was lovely too.

Just shows we are all different because I gave upon Schitt's Creek after one episode, didn't find it funny or entertaining.

It took me a few episodes to get into SC Chestnut. But yes we are all different. I recommended The Detectorists to my son and he thought it was rubbish.

Me too, it seemed very dated and cliched
I was surprised at what all the fuss was about
I’m not very good at persisting with a show!

I gave up on Schitts Creek. My daughter thought it was brilliant.

Happiyogi Wed 10-Nov-21 11:14:16

I’m glad to hear I’m not alone in wondering what the fuss about SC was. We had a breathless recommendation from a neighbour, telling us we must watch it so we settled down in expectation - but couldn’t even finish the first episode.

I’m torn between hating to give up so quickly, and the sense that life really is just too short!

Life in Pieces is marvelous, addictive watching.

CoolCoco Wed 10-Nov-21 11:32:27

Emily in Paris grew on me. Amusing

The Chestnut Man is a good Danish crime series.

Thank you for this, it’s brilliant.!

Shitts Creek ...

BigBertha1 Fri 19-Nov-21 05:18:56

Swinging with the Finkels is a gentle English Rom com with slightly naughty bits.

Grannynannywanny Fri 19-Nov-21 06:24:59

I was undecided on Schitt’s Creek but by the end of episode 2 I was drawn in. I loved it.

My absolute favourite of the past year was Grace and Frankie. Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin are so funny together and tears ran down my face listening to them.

Mrs Lewis is a good movie which I enjoyed.

J52 Sat 20-Nov-21 15:59:25

Stuck Together is a comedy film set in a Paris apartment block during Covid Lockdown. It’s well dubbed into English, light heated. I’m halfway through so no spoilers for the ending.

Unorthodox. Gripping, informative and heartwarming.

hollysteers Sat 20-Nov-21 16:08:08

I second ‘ Anne with an E’.
I think you have Geraldine James confused with Vanessa Redgrave Fanny.

Liz46 Sat 20-Nov-21 16:18:45

Thanks for all the recommendations. We had given up on Schitt's Creek too but it looks as though we should try again.
