Have Netflix on my iPad and seem spoilt for choice looking for something good to watch. ( Waiting for the Crown to start). What's the best thing you've enjoyed on Netflix? I need some good recommendations please.

We've only had Netflix for a week but have been bingeing on the Crown. Absolutely loving it. Just started on American version of House of Cards and granddaughter is recommending Stranger Things. Plus lots of goodies recommended on this thread. Think I'm going to get 'segs' on my bum if I'm not careful. confused

Grimm - was totally hooked. Was devastated when the 6th season ended as there will be no more.

Just about to start watching Godless a Western with Jeff Daniels which has had rave reviews (see today’s Times).

We are additional users on my son’s account and don’t watch too much as TV has got so good nowadays. We binge watch ‘TheCrown and watched some Scandi noirs we loved. I can’t remember what they were called but there was a brilliant Icelandic detective story, in particular. ‘Marseilles’ was fabulous.

I get Netflix free. DS has it and put me on as a user even though he doesn’t live with us and I was able to watch a film on holiday abroad last week. Loved Breaking Bad and its spin off Better Call Saul. Also found House of Cards addictive although the Kevin Spacey revelations have put me off rather.

I’ve watched all six series of White Collar three times. It’s light, humorous and fun. I mainly watch it to wallow in the gorgeous looks of Matt Bomer. Just my type but unfortunately I’m not his type

Jane the Virgin, very funny, cleverly made, original idea, highly recommend.

Stranger Things (sci fi)

Making a Murderer (about the "framing" of an innocent man who spent many years in jail for murder)

13 Reasons Why (fiction, with a girl who committed suicide giving a commentary to the other people involved in her life, and the contribution they made to her suicide)

I pay for a tv licence. I refused to pay for anything else on top of that. I can watch anything for free anyway at my daughter's, who is foolish enough to have all the extras!

Deed5y Fri 01-Dec-17 16:35:38

Definitely ‘Designated Survivor’. Excellent.

I have Netflix for four screens, plus Ultra HD (4K) and that costs £9-99 per month.
I also have Amazon Prime, and Sky, inc movies, but find Netflix far better for films.
There have been many times that a film hasn't been on Sky, or available at an extra charge on Amazon, but is sitting there on Netflix, just waiting to be watched!
Netflix is also great for watching when we go on hols to cottages in this country.
As long as there's a decent internet connection and speed we always have something good to watch when we're collapsed after a long day of adventuring!
I've just started watching 'The Good Place' (thanks to hildajennij) and am hooked!

Stranger Things .
Forensic Files.

Oldwoman70 Fri 01-Dec-17 12:58:47

I'm another who has never used Netflix and am completely ignorant of the way it works - I think I need to borrow a 10 year old to explain it all to me!

suzied Fri 01-Dec-17 12:05:59

We’ve just watched Godless. I am not a fan of the old style westerns so thought I wouldn’t like it but this was really good.

Cobweb01 Fri 01-Dec-17 11:57:34

Narcos, Orange is the New Black, Grace and Frankie, Orphan Black

Rolande Fri 01-Dec-17 11:57:26

House of Cards, only hope the 3rd series will be finished now due to "Mr President's indiscretion"

also a fan of Grace and Frankie

"Wanted", Australian, very good

Love Netflix
