The Netflix thread

Had this conversation with some people at work, but I'm always looking for good binge-worthy Netflix shows. So give me some recommendations of ones that might have slipped off my radar. Here are my two cents on the ones I've watched:

Luke Cage - kick ass. Very entertaining, went all over the map in season 1. Wasn't like other superhero shows where he learns about his powers and then kicks everyones ass all season. Will watch season 2

Narcos - Loved it, but I'm a big fan of all Pablo documentaries/movies

House of Cards - Done with it. Didn't finish this most recent season

Marco Polo - Huge fan of this, loved season 1 and season 2 was better

Bloodlines - watched a couple of episodes, never got hooked

Arrested Development - I LOVED the real show, the netflix first attempt was weird but still liked it

Orange is the New Black - shit. Hated it. Watched season 1 and was bored the whole time, I just don't get it.

Pacific Heat - Yeah, made it about 4 minutes and quit this Archer rip off

Medici - Really liked it. Will be hard to see what they do in season 2

Last Kingdom- Really liked it, will watch season 2

Crown - heard good and bad about it







Have yet to try or get hooked:

Kimmy Schmidt - watched two episodes, couldn't hang with it
Daredevil - same, watched two and gave up. May need to go back
Jessica Jones - Would I like this, like Luke Cage?
Master of None - I like Aziz, I honestly thought this was standup but have heard recently it is an actual show
Stranger Things - I'm sure I'll like it, but will probably wait for season 2 and then binge watch both


Ok, there is my all over the map take on them. Every day it looks like another 5 Originals come up and instantly have 5 stars, which I don't always agree with.

I've been meaning to watch Marco Polo. Heard Season 2 was great. Don't know much about Last Kingdom.

Stranger Things was outstanding especially for people over the age of 40 as it is very retro.

Crown bored me but I don't care about British royalty. We watched 2 episodes and gave up.

Daredevil is quite good and the fight scenes can be amazing.

Master of None is hilarious

Jessica Jones - Different vibe from Luke Cage. Darker and more twisted. The big bad in that show is truly terrifying because of what he can do. Really enjoyed the first half of the season but the 2nd half had a few needless episodes in it.

Narcos is the best show I've watched since The Wire.

Bloodlines - watched a couple of episodes, never got hooked

Bloodlines always felt like it was building up to something, but it never got there. If the first couple episodes don't hook you I doubt the show will ever be much better for you.

I watched episode 1 of "The OA" late last night ... that was something else ... seems very binge worthy but i needed to go to sleep ... episode 1 had a "Stranger things" feel to it, only its a group of teens this time

Marco Polo has been cancelled.

Some of the Amazon originals look pretty good too.

The Jean Claude Van Dam pilot was pretty good.

And the new Top Gear has some bad theatre, but still the good elements of the old show.

Stranger Things was great.

I noticed this one the other day. I intend to give it a chance when I have a minute.

If you like cheesy sci-fi, check out Sense-8. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it, but the concept is interesting enough.

I thought Master Of None was one of the best shows I saw this year.

I disagree. That show is downright awful.

 

[MilkSpiller22]

I thought Master Of None was one of the best shows I saw this year.

I thought that it had some of the funniest episodes I have seen in a long time... but was slightly disappointed that it gradually got depressing instead of funny... Was always a great show though...

First episode was interesting and caught my attention quickly... I am in episode 5 or something now... Its meh... show takes itself a little too serious...

There were a few episodes I do not think I laughed once but were still great. The Nashville one for example was not super funny, but was pleasant and fun to watch the whole time.
I agree with you too, the last couple were kind of downers.
The Sickening, its happening!

Peaky Blinders is the best original series on Netflix.

1920's Brit Gangster series with Cillian Murphy, Tom Hardy (sparingly), and that one dude from Jurrasic Park.

Super excellent show, and there's 3 seasons. Watch it.
