Netflix, Stale & Uninspiring

[Khandro]

Does anybody think so? We've watched all the good things early on it seems & now there seems to be nothing left but rubbish.
Has anyone cancelled their membership ? I'm very tempted to do so.

Dead to Me is brilliant, but I still need to watch the last series.

[rockyracoon]

What/If with Renee Zellweger is quite good.

[naomi24]

Loved 'Dead to Me' - and 'Better Call Saul'.

I think we flogged it to death during lockdown and watched everything that appealed to us then.
Occasionally a little gem pops up unexpectedly. I’ve just watched a film called Pride, about a group of gay and lesbian people who supported a Welsh mining village during the miners strike, raising thousands for them.
It’s based on a true happening and at the end tells you what happened to the main characters. Has some good actors in it.
I enjoyed the 1st series of Stranger Things but not the rest. Breaking Bad was marvellous, as was Schitts Creek, and Weed. Pale Blue Eye is on my list, will give it a go.

We need a streaming section on here to put recommendations.

[naomi24]

Good idea, rocky. Why not suggest it?

[ToraToraTora]

prudie, if you liked Breaking Bad you'll like Better call Saul.

[Vagus]

I loved Braking Bad but couldn’t get into Better Call Saul.

Though paying, we haven't been watching for a few weeks, instead we have watched 3 of the best things on DVDs which we hadn't looked at for a while; 'Brideshead Revisited' (surely the best thing EVER on British TV !) 4 seasons of, 'In the line of Duty' (marvellous cop series) and 3 seasons of the French, 'The Bureau' (superb)

After that diet, it isn't surprising that Netflix seems a bit flat ! I think I'll cancel though.

[naomi24]

Black Butterflies is worth watching. It's about a serial killer. Very different with lots of twists.

[Prudie]

I am almost ashamed to admit this because it's not high brow but shortly before Xmas my daughter gave us her Disney± login because OH likes the Mandalorian. That's of no interest to me but I thought I'd take a look at Grey's Anatomy which I've never watched even though Patrick Dempsey is indeed dreamy. I am totally hooked, first thing I've ever binge watched. Nearly to the end of Series 6.

[ToraToraTora]

Naomi is that the one with Nicolas Duvauchelle?

[naomi24]

Yes, TTT.

[Khandro]

I've just checked & as my next payment isn't until the end of the month, from what I've read on here I shall delay the cancellation until I've watched the coming, Fauda, Dear to Me, & Black Butterflies.
Thanks!

If you haven't watched it I would recommend '1899'. I thought it was brilliant.

[ladybirder]

Khandro I wait until there are a few things I'd like to watch, pay for a month and immediately cancel it. It then allows me to watch all I wanted to see for the month I've bought and then chucks me out. I do this a few times a year. I have plenty of time to watch so can get through a whole series very quickly.

[Khandro]

Actually, while we're giving out tips, the Spanish series 'Unauthorised Living' is very good, starring the excellent José Coronado, anyone seen it? ;

@prudie if you have Disney the try station 19 but perhaps later as it’s a spin off of Greys, 911 and the excellent 911 line star with a rather dishy Rob Lowe

[Redhelen72]

Lone star that should be

I watched Behind her Eyes and 'You' on Netflix which I enjoyed.
