General / Off-Topic What are some good Netflix shows I should watch?

[Branithar]

I’m currently spending a lot of time hunting for mats. What are good shows I should watch on Nextlix? Something like a talking head style documentary or some mindless TV shows I don’t have to stare at to understand.

You should watch educational videos and read material that will expand your mind.

The House on Haunted Hill was good.

Why are they evil ?

All companies are evil, no exceptions!

 

[Whipley]

Mystery Science Theater 3000.

Best show on TV! And the intro is somewhat like elite... The new seasons anyway.

Also, Lost in Space.

Don't know if it's the same in the US as the UK but most of Brooklyn Nine Nine is on Netflix. That's a great TV show that doesn't require your undivided attention. There's also the Good Place which requires a little bit more investment but not much.

 

[Dural]

Red Dwarf, Homeland, The Inexplicable Universe, Breaking Bad, The Expanse, Spooks, Dead Set, Black Mirror, Orphan Black, Planet Earth, Top Gear, Monster Garage.

Two shows I'm absolutely loving at the moment - one is The Crown which I have to say is staggeringly good. I mean, if this were a film it would be dripping in Oscars! And the other is James Acaster's Repertoire, a series of four 40 minute standup shows from the British comedian which are works of pure genius.

 

[Rob At Work]

Yep and Yep.

Daredevil & The Punisher are both excellent.

 

[Caramel Clown]

BoJack Horseman. Actually best show on Netflix

 

[EUS]

Watching Happy! but only 1 episode a day.
Actually, upon reflection, it's a show that is more enjoyable with undivided attention, so never mind.

There are some great movies on Netlix. The creator of Moon has his movie here.. "Mute".

"Arrival" is also there as well. That is a brilliant movie.


As for series, I'd recommend The Expanse, Breaking Bad, and Better Call Saul

...and also Rick and Morty

I never took Meloni's Law & Order role seriously after watching HBO's Oz so this happy role suits him perfectly even though I think the show is overrated but his great acting makes up for it.

 

[BulletTrev]

'The Ballad of Buster Scrugg's' or some such, by the Coen Bros.

'Eric ldle's What About ?'

 

[Le-Betz]

Oldie, but goldie:



Still hillarious, old enough so you won't remember most of the jokes and especially the dialogues are brilliant, which makes it an excellent choice to be run in the background without paying attention to the picture.
