Looking for something good on Netflix. Spoilt for choice! What's the best thing you've watched on Netflix? I need some recommendations please.

Thanks for that heads-up, Jane - will definitely watch When They See Us.

We're just watching The Keepers - really good.

There is an hour long programme in which Oprah
Winfrey talks to the cast and production team of When They See Us and the innocent men. It is very interesting, and Ava DuVernay is a very impressive woman.

I’m nearing the end of The Keepers Humptydumpty, thank you for bringing it to my attention. The level of corruption and wickedness from those in high office is very depressing, very little has changed since her murder way back in 1969.

I’ve just watched the film Maudie, it’s new to Netflix and worth watching.
It’s a biopic of the Canadian, naive artist Maude Lewis and a weepie, so have a hankie ready.

Something to make you think- Making a Murderer
A different "reality" show Blown Away - a glass working competition.
I struggle to find things on Netflix as I'm not really into series and particularly the US ones.

A friend recommended The Good Wife as she knows I like a legal theme and I’m half way through the first series. It’s brilliant and each episode stands alone but there is another bigger story also running through the whole thing.

I’ve also done Billions which has Damien Lewis in and that was riveting. Couldn’t stick with Handmaiden for some reason but enjoyed Dedicated Survivor.
