Your Netflix Choice

[Jordyboy9]

I would like to start a nice friendly post regarding choice of things to watch on Netflix,anyone have a favourite film or tv program?

[Rockrose]

I love watching Serenity starring Nathan Fillion

'The Crown', is one. Didn't think it would be my cup of tea but i actually liked it so much, i binge watched my way through the first two series. Claire Foy is absolutely brilliant (almost mesmerising) as a young Elizabeth and i feel a tad sorry for Olivia Coleman who takes over the role in series 3. Also look out for a brilliant portrayal of a young Princess Margaret. Oh yeah, and don't expect it to be absolutely factually correct - allow them some poetic licence.
A good film to watch is 'Bad Day For The Cut'. Though there may be a bit too much violence in it for you. Watch the trailer and decide for yourself, Jordy.

Just been recommended Mindhunters .

Got lots on "My List" still to watch, but added "Wu Assassins" yesterday - looks like mysticism & martial arts - what's not to like? :-)

They've recently (or have I only just noticed?) added Star Trek: DS9, Enterprise, Next Gen & Voyager, so I might re-watch them at some point (am a ridiculously addicted Trekker).

I need to watch "Dark Tower" as I love Stephen King, but am not convinced it's going to do the excellent (1st of 7) book any justice - we'll see, though I think it'll be an enjoyable romp.

I'll binge on anything "Marvel" (Daredevil; Luke Cage; Iron Fist; Jessica Jones etc) - but if you don't like comic book heroes, they won't be for you.

So many more titles, so little time... :-)

There is a lot of choice, it's sometimes hard to know where to start and I am not great and concentrating on films unless they really interest me.
Although I have seen it before, and I'm sure everyone has... i did watch Apollo 13 on Netflix last night and it was much better than I remembered.

As I like crime thrillers, just finished watching Bloodline.

LIK; Stay well, well clear of The Dark Tower. I have waited over 30 years for someone to make a film (or films)of this excellent series of books. In fact, my first choice to play Roland was Charles Bronson, so you can see just how far back i've wanted a film made So i almost wept with frustration and disappointment when i watched this terrible, terrible offering from someone who purports to be a fan of the books. If he is a fan of the books, then i'm a Blackburn fan!! There is no Detta Walker/Susannah Dean, no Eddie Dean of New York, no Lobstrosities. Just as disappointingly, No Oy the Billybumbler of Midworld!! Idris Elba is a fine actor but he is NOT Roland Deschain. I honestly believe co-star Matthew McConaughey would have made a better fist of it (lean and mean). I have yet to meet a single fan of the series of books who has also enjoyed the film. It really is dire.

[Ken4155]

Forgot to add that the film covers the entire series of books, not just book 1. Just another nail in it's coffin, imho.

[Lie-in King]

Ken - oh dear. Now I'm not looking forward to it at all, but I *do* still have to watch it. How can they cram the series into one title? Ridiculous. :-((

I will let you know my thoughts when I've watched it...

[Ken4155]

I too was pre-warned and i also 'had' to watch it. Just wish i hadn't. I have spoken to some who enjoyed it but none had read the books. Will wait for your verdict.

I like the Films based on Fact section and thoroughly recommend Breach. It's about the u.nmasking of a spy
. Thrilling but not violent.

[woofgang]

Lucifer, not sure if its netflix or amazon. Good Omens, deffo amazon

[pixie374]

I like psychological thrillers, but could do with some recommendations too.

[Rosie29]

Another very good true story - The Glass Castle - with Woody Harrelson. Was on Netflix but may have been taken off by now.

[Jordyboy9]

Just checked the glass castle is still on Netflix

[Khandro]

'Mad Men' - terrific! we felt bereft when we finally got to the last episode.

'The Kominsky Method' is also good,

[BagPussAA]

Mad Men is a good choice. That is brilliantly written with a stellar cast. Designated Survivor is another one I would highly recommend, with Kiefer Sutherland.
