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 .

Emily in Paris was indeed so bad it was good. I loved seeing Paris too.
My opinion too. 😁

I'm currently ploughing through the Newsroom thanks to a recommendation on GN.

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 !

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

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

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.

Sweet Tooth. A perilous adventure, post viral apocalypse, ring a bell,about a boy half human half deer,searches for his parents with a new found protector. Covid makes this quite relatable. Sweet and horrific, but compelling.

I don’t know why I quoted MerylStreep!

Dopesick is about the same story but far far better.

Netflix is telling me it doesn’t have Schitts Creek. I’m watching The Good Doctor, because I love Freddie Highmore, though you do have to suspend belief quite a lot, because of all the brilliant doctors! I also like Somebody Feed Phil.

MerylStreep thank you, I’ll give it a go.

I loved Schitt’s Creek and watched it all a year ago. I took a notion to look at it again last week and it’s so funny I’m binge watching it every night. It’s just as funny the second time round.

I loved this! grin
Thanks for reminding me about it!

We are watching Who is Erin Carter? We are enjoying it.

I’ve just finished the second season of Beauty Queen of Jerusalem on Netflix and really enjoyed it.

Grandyma Sat 26-Aug-23 15:26:57

Just finished watching Painkiller. Based on a true story. Not “light entertainment” but very good.

Aveline Sat 26-Aug-23 14:24:55

No I mean only series 1 of Fisk. I'm keen to see series 2.

Aveline Sat 26-Aug-23 14:24:18

I love Young Sheldon. All the characters are so good.
I thought only series 2 of Fisk was on Netflix. Must check.

Agree about Schitts Creek, I can watch it over and over again.

Schitts Creek is the best series ever.

I totally loved Fisk, binge watched the 2 series together. I loved it. And I have recommended before, if you like good Aussie stuff, that 5 Bedrooms, on BBCiPlayer, is wonderful. There are 5 series in total, but i think another is coming. It's quite moving, and very humorous. Give it a try.

I watched a series (5 seasons) called Greenleaf and really enjoyed it. Also recently watched Painkiller which is a true story.

DH & I have just finished watching "The Diplomat" which we enjoyed very much. (Looking forward to series 2, which isn't out yet.) It has elements of "West Wing" but is set in the UK: the diplomat is question is the USA ambassador to the UK, who resides in London. (The series includes the (true in real life!) official USA ambassador's residence, which is Winfield House: a huge "stately home" that we'd never heard of. This is in the centre of London and its 12 acres of grounds/gardens are surpassed only by Buckingham Palace!) We found the series to be intelligent and interesting (with reference to USA, UK, and world politics) as well as having various ongoing "personal" story situations. Recommended!
