Netflix

We don't have Netflix but saw a lovely film at someone elses house- "What We Did On Our Holidays", starring Billy Connolly, David Tennant, three delightful child actors and some fabulous scenery. I wish there were more films like this.

Thanks folks I have written down all your helpful suggestions in my tv/video book, so I now have plenty of good watching to do.

Love in a Cold Climate.

Oh I suppose I could get everything on the phone too but I can't watch action on such a small screen.

There are some great vintage comedies on Amazon Prime, including Black Books and Father Ted.
I can get Amazon and Netflix on the laptop, the tablet and the TV.

I agree Floradora I've cancelled my subscription for that reason. I can't get Amazon to work here in rural France so back to DVDs for us.

We enjoyed The Boat that Rocked. Anyone who liked rocknroll in the sixties will probably enjoy this. Light hearted, easy watching.

The Making of a Murderer.
True story about Steven Avery, framed for a murder in Wisconsin. Allegedly.

Thanks Bathsheba you have set me up for a week or so, excellent. ?

If you like thrillers, you will love Safe NanKate. Also try The Sinner. Two series, both really intriguing, and a bit different.
Wallander is great too - a police/detective series. The title role is very well acted by Kenneth Branagh.
I also enjoyed The Indian Detective. Not sure if it's still on there, I watched it quite a while ago.

I’m looking for something to watch on Netflix or Amazon. Just started Top of the Lake but half way through I realised it was not for me. May try Safe.

I like thrillers and police series like Line of Duty. Anything suggestions ?

I thought theStaircase was great.

There is another series on Lifetime on main TV. I don’t know if Project Runway Junior is still on. They were such lovely children and very talented.

Another Vote for Top Of The Lake. Stars the excellent Elisabeth Moss from The Handmaid’s Tale and there are two series.

Flossieturner. I didn’t realise Project Runway was on Netflix. I used to love to watch this when it was on tv so I will be able to watch series 9 and 10 now. Thank you.

In the middle of Staircase. Excellent!

Already causing hot debate between DH and myself

Has anyone mentioned Dirty John?

I watched it, and then watched interviews with the real people on which it was based. Mostly, I couldn't believe that the main character could be that dim. Couldn't stop watching it though.

Isn't it Romantic? - a film with Rebel Wilson is really clever. It takes the mickey out of romantic comedies the whole romance thing in a really funny way.

Shtisel - a series about a young Orthodox Jewish man in Jerusalem searching for love and acceptance. Absolutely compulsive viewing. There’s been such a reaction to it over here that they have commissioned a third series.

Lots of films, too many to remember. The latest one I watched was Still Alice, which was superb, very moving. But they come and go, so you have to catch them. One that was hilarious was Death at a Funeral. Then it was no longer on Netflix, but I watched it again with DH recently on Amazon Prime, because he missed it the first time.

Unforgotten was good, with lots of well know names I popping up. Shades of Silent Witness but more believable and lots of twists and turns. I was hooked!

Jane43. At last someone else who has seen and enjoyed The Staircase! Really enjoyed it. The Crown was excellent and looking forward to next series.

Wallander is very good. I saw a good film yesterday about Agatha Christie's missing 12 days.
Miss Fisher's Mysteries is good too.

Just watched Safe which was great if you like crime and mystery

The Crown
All 6 series of Line of Duty
Hinterland

A friend just recommended Wallander today

Dead to Me was quite good. I didn’t like Wine Country much.
