I took out a membership as I wanted to watch " Glass Onion " which was supposed to be a sequel to "Knives out "which we loved . We lasted ten minutes and switched it off .

That’s odd Daddima. I watched more of it last night and it was definitely Netflix I was using.

Very odd. The Good Doctor disappeared for a few weeks, then reappeared. I am in Greece, if that makes any difference.

Ah that must be the problem Daddima. That’s a pity.

I just checked that Schitts Creek is still there, it is. Alls well with the world 😄

Ignore that and press Play
I just went to look for something which I know is on Netflix.
I got that info but pressed play and there it was.

I’m enjoying The Lincoln Lawyer but before that I loved Emily in Paris - so bad it was good and lovely shots of Paris!
Last night I watched Le Weekend (can’t remember if that was Netflix one of the others) with Lesley Duncan and Jim Broadbent. So bit of a theme here.
I too loved The Diplomat and await Series 2 !

Emily in Paris was indeed so bad it was good. I loved seeing Paris too.
I'm currently ploughing through the Newsroom thanks to a recommendation on GN.

My opinion too. 😁

Painkiller......compelling and terrifying in equal measure, well worth a watch.

Aveline Sun 27-Aug-23 12:39:32

I stayed up late last night watching Painkiller. It was compulsive viewing. A dreadful story. I only had Oxycontin once after my first knee replacement but refused further doses as I hated how it made me feel. It's hard to believe people choose to feel like that.

Thanks so much everyone lots of good ideas there .

Presume everyone has seen Better Call Saul?
Haven't found much else lately.

Emily in Paris was so funny . I loved seeing her in a different outfit in every scene. The Queens Gambit is good and they have some good Korean dramas on there. Watching Who is Erin Carter and enjoying it even though you have to suspend your disbelief frequently.

I can’t see a ‘play’ to press!

Ah well, it’ll keep till I get home. Thanks anyway.

We have become addicted to Young Sheldon. It’s important to watch from episode one, series one. Love it, short rolling on episodes.

Mollygo Mon 28-Aug-23 10:50:33

We love Young Sheldon too, but having got used to binge watching several episodes at a time, it’s been hard only having two per week.

Aveline Mon 28-Aug-23 11:20:56

I so agree Mollygo. I'm so wrapped up in this family I can't wait for the next episode. They were very lucky to find such an ideal young actor to play Sheldon. They're all very good though.

Watched the film ‘Profile’ based on a true story on Netflix tonight and now understand how young girls can fall under the spell of an Isis member.

Just binged watched Who is Erin Carter, that was a treat, loved it.
Emily in Paris, so beautiful to watch those clothes and setting.
I see Virgin River new series starts soon, though that was getting a bit dull.
I ended up buying The Good Doctor series on Prime when I ran out of the ones available for viewing.
I'm a big Heartland fan
The Diplomat, looking forward to series 2
I gave up with Schitts creak, didn't hold my attention or find funny.
Hooked on Bosch series, new one out soon.
Hate to admit it but loving Suits, so is everyone I know.

Schitt’s Creek is wonderful (Daddima - I just checked, it’s still on Netflix). It’s hilarious and heartwarming and one of a kind.

I enjoyed Greenleaf too, Moonwatcher.

The Tinder Swindler is an excellent documentary. I think it won BAFTA and was nominated for 5 Emmys.

I was bummed out that GLOW ended without a real conclusion and there won't be more of it (and I was wrong to postpone watching it for so long...), so I started a documentary series called "Wrestlers", it scratches that itch somewhat lol

If it's still on there, The Serpent is brilliant and based on a true story. Also Hidden - very dark, set in Wales. I binge-watched both. Not to be confused with Hidden Assets -this one about fraud - also very good.

We were on our dd Netflix account but can’t get it now , assume NF have ‘expelled ‘ us.. Has this happened to anyone else?

silverlining48 Thu 14-Sept-23 13:55:54

The Serpent is absolutely terrifying but very good.
