Netflix Recommendations

Remarkable Bright Creatures is brilliant. Couple of friends had recommended it to me. I read the blurb and it really didn't appeal but we were having a quiet Sunday afternoon so we have it a go.

Fabulous film, it really is.

Oo, that was recommended to me as "had to binge watch", but when I peeped it looked very dark.

So what is Department Q about? sounds it could be my kind of thing?

PS for free on Amazon Prime -
"The modern Miss Fisher Mysteries"

"Ab Fab light viewing" series, anyone else tried that one?

(I was referring to Apex in first line)

"Remarkably Bright Creatures" is on the list as "quirky but rewarding"

(anyone got a Magnum ice to help me have a late viewing session...)

I watched Everwood and really enjoyed it. I never read Anne of Green Gables when I was you so I didn't think I would enjoy Anne with an E but I gave it a go and now I'm in the middle of the second season.
My DH is actually following it which is unusual as I didn't think he'd be interested.

I meant to say when I was young.

Thanks for this thread JJ- I spend ages flicking through and never know what to watch. Been watching more Amazon Prime lately but will have another Netflix go.

Another vote for Remarkably Bright Creatures.

And Stranger Things, to keep up with the GD.

I completely agree about Mindhunter and Dark—both are absolutely brilliant and keep you glued to your seat!

There really is nothing worse than getting completely immersed in a gripping mystery or a tense thriller only to have the mood broken by sudden commercial breaks. If anyone else is watching on a basic plan and finding the constant disruptions frustrating, I found a really helpful guide on www.standsapp.org/blog/how-to-block-ads-on-netflix/ that shows you how to easily block those ad scripts on your browser. It makes binging these recommendations so much more enjoyable

Adding Legends and The Watcher to my watchlist next!

Sheridan Smith was absolutely incredible as Ann Ming, and knowing Ann collaborated closely on the script made the whole thing hit so much harder. It’s mind-blowing to think one mother's determination actually forced a rewrite of an 800-year-old double jeopardy law.

Ì had to check that it was really Sheridan Smith playing Ann's part.
I'm no fan of actors or celebs, but she totally immersed me into the storyline.

Yellow stone & film sequels

Just on with ‘homicide New York’
About two detective squads.
I was going to cancel NF but glad I came on this thread as I now have a list of dramas & films to watch 😀

I fought the law.
Played by Sheridan Smith.
I think it was a four parter, based on real life, and in collaboration with woman she plays.

I really, really enjoyed it.

Oh thank you, I was going watch this and could not remember what it was called!!

I like gritty or crime dramas if anyone has anything else like this??

I read Anne of Green Gables and loved those books.

I'm a gritty crime fan too.

Amy Bradley is missing has stayed with me since i watched it on netflix.
Again, based on a true event !nd absolutely baffling.

Like several posters, I too would highly recommend Legends.

I have watched Legends, loved it 😍

Thank you for all your suggestions, I’ll start working through them

MissAdventure

I'm a gritty crime fan too.

If you like true crime, NY Homicide is really interesting.
I like all the forensic science stuff & cold case solving.

The best thing I’ve seen on Netflix for a long time is The Diplomat. It’s slick, addictive and has a brilliant cast. It ran for three seasons and there is a fourth coming soon. I can’t wait.

I would add that it’s the one with Rufus Sewell, Keri Russell and Rory Kinnear in, and also the wonderful Alison Janney of West Wing fame. There is another series with the same title running on Netflix at the moment too.

Thanks for the suggestion about The Boroughs.
If you liked Stranger Things you will enjoy it too.

Thanks, MT62
I enjoy the forensics, too.

This threads turning into a really helpful one.
