Netflix- recommendations

Fauda is gripping.

AM currently watching THE OA

I liked dirty John and now watching homeland, enjoyed the first series just started the second....

merlot, glad you found Schtisel, I loved it. I loved the music too. My favourite character is the school secretary.

Recently finished watching Fargo and Broken both good viewing

I will earmark Schtisel for tonight.

Started Dirty John but just couldn’t get into it.

Just to add, Swimming with Men is based upon the true story of a group of middle aged Swedish men who formed a synchronised swimming team.
On another thread someone recommended Dumplin'. Dolly Parton music throughout. I watched it, enjoyed it and would like to say thank you to whoever suggested it.

I must get Netflix.

I would also recommend Their Finest, an enjoyable film in the British tradition.

Currently watching "one of us" and enjoying it.

Watched ‘On Chesil Beach’, not sure about it. I suppose that’s what it was like for some young marrieds in the 60s. I wanted to shake them!
I gave up on the book, but will have another go.

I've been binge watching Schtisel. Absolutely love it.

I have just watched Dirty John - it was riveting and so scary.

I have just watched I feel Pretty it was different, poignant and funny in places. Give it a try you may enjoy like i did.

Swimming with Men is a really good, feel good movie. I really enjoyed it.
Also try The Cobbler, Adam Sandler in a different sort of role.
You might have to search for them but they are still available.

I'm loving Afterlife too. I would probably not have watched it but for this thread, so thanks. Very poignant at times, and I see that Ricky Gervais also wrote it.

Littleflo GBBO I watch it religiously, except when Russell. Brand, is on. I should have remembered the acronym, what a wally I am ?

omg what a great thread

I too watched Dirty John with the marvellous Connie britton from Nashville.

totally gripping

loved it... we talked about it for ages..

NanKate , Great British Bake Off. One of the great advantages of getting old, is that I cannot remember who won the earlier series.

I thought the documentary The Keepers was good.

littleflo what is GBBO in full please ?

I'm half way through Afterlife. It's brilliant! ( Some bad language though, - doesn't bother me too much.)
It's so sad, yet funny.

Empress In The Palace .The costumes and sets are stunning.
The film, Nothing to Hide and for relaxation I am watching the whole of GBBO from the beginning

I watched After Life as well, another ironing watch! I enjoyed it, it has such a good cast.

We watched After Life, all the episodes back to back, and really enjoyed it, (and although to say I enjoyed a drama that dealt with depression after bereavement doesn't sound right, it's sensitive and does have many lighter moments).
I've never really been a fan of Ricky Gervais, but his acting in this I thought was so good. He wrote /directed it, I believe?
Penelope Wilmot also starred.

I just watched "What we did on our Holiday" and absolutely loved it. So touching but also some laugh out loud moments, and stunning Scottish scenery.
