Netflix

The Crown, The Crown and.....The Crown.

I've just finished watching The Good Place, with Ted Danson it's a comedy about the afterlife, which I enjoyed immensely. Then my DD recommended Stranger Things, gripping and creepy and mysterious. It's very good too, I've got up to the beginning of season two. I also like Zumbo's Desserts. It's a bit like Bake off, from Australia. Rachael Coo is one of the experts.
I'm a bit of a science fiction fan so I'm also watching the new Star Trek Discovery. Just eight episodes so far, but excellent. It's set ten years before James T Kirk and Spock. If you watch any of them I hope you enjoy them.

I've enjoyed the new Star Trek too , new episodes in January. Any recommendations for films that don't involve FBI agents, blood and guts or war scenarios I've looked for good stories in vain.

Best series - Breaking Bad, I also loved Mad Men, The Good Wife, Narcos, Blood Lines or you could watch the first series of Suits and see Meghan Markle and all the fab outfits, lots of good films to watch too - I see they now have LAla Land and Me before you.

Mindhunter - based on the first FBI profiler and how that field develops (think early Silence of the Lambs). Be warned though - scenes of sex, violence and drugs. Only watched episodes, but it's good.

2 episodes.

Netflix is my comfort TV space I have on when DH is at Bowls. My favourites are Schitts Creek - looks odd but hilarious tale of highly consumerist New York family who lose all their money and have to live in the real world.
'Odd Mom Out' - New York mum rebelling against yummy mummy culture. Absolutely favourite 'Grace and Frankie' - Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin - life after discovering their long term husbands are in love with each other. Lots of other programmes which are repeats like 'Episodes' but a good rewatch and you can have a nap and it doesn't matter. Well worth the £7? a month.

I watch more tv on Netflix than any other channel. Breaking Bad and Ozark were excellent. I'm currently watching Mindhunter, Homeland and The Crown. (not all at once).

Happy Valley. It's a bit dark, but gripping.

One of my sons installed Netflex for us, we probably don't take advantage of it as much as we could. Loved The Crown and am looking forward to the next instalment of that. Also The Good Wife. Same son is a huge Breaking Bad fan, whilst I can see the concept is clever I never really got into it. Maybe we should try a few other offerings, at the moment we are working our way through "Stella" via box sets as we don't have SKY. Love it have just finished season 3.

Grace and Frankie fan here!

I have been watching Mindhunter too, it is interesting seeing how offender profiling was developed, how it started, and the difficulties in getting people to believe in it.

Excuse my ignorance, but how do I get Netflix? I've never had anything but free view, can you get just Netflix on it's own? It sounds Iike something I might watch.

You have to sign up to it, you can get first 30 days free trial. Have a look at their website, you need a smart TV otherwise you could watch it on a laptop or computer.

I enjoyed Designated Survivor and I quite like the Miss Fisher detective series (nice frocks).

How much does it cost and is it easy to cancel?

It’s about £7 per month, you can get 30days free trial. It’s easy .to cancel not that I’d want to. We watch it more than regular TV.

Tanith, try these: The Cobbler starring Adam Sandler, he's also in The Do over which is very funny. The Martian starring Ben Affleck about an astronaut left behind. Today's Special about an Indian chef taking over the family business. I was doubtful about some of them,shut enjoyed them all.

But enjoyed them.

I have Netflix on the TV and on my tablet. Wouldn't be without it now. It's better than the Sky movie channels.

Oh thanks, some great suggestions here.
Have written a list so I can work my way through them. Looking forward to seeing something new as getting a bit bored with regular TV offerings.
