What is the best thing on Netflix right now?

[malaise]

Help!

[blm]

1. I'm loving South Korean movies and serials since March.

[malaise]

14. Thanks everyone - will make a list with your picks

[LizBeth]

2. I loved Lucifer. For the cheesy of it I thought it was very good. The last episode of the new season

was awesome. I think I am the only one that watches.

[pandr32]

10. We've watched that, too

What I like about it is how it upends the common perceptions of the Judeo-Christian myths and characters.

[LizBeth]

11. Yes. Wasn't that last show this season so much fun? But yes, you are right. That is what

makes it so much fun.

[pandr32]

46. I heard the show was cancelled, but they are filming Season 6

Season 5 part 2 is yet to drop as well.
We've saved the last episode (Season 5 part 1 finale) for this weekend so I am looking forward to it being fun as you said. I always hate the end of something I enjoyed--books, too.

[LizBeth]

47. You are going to love it. I thought 5 was the last season. It would be very cool to get another

season. Finger crossed It was suppose to be over like season three. So glad they kept it going.

[pandr32]

62. Fans!

It is like a reverse boycott!
Watching the last episode tonight.

[LizBeth]

63. +1

[vercetti2021]

36. I love Lucifer

Tom Ellis is the best

[LizBeth]

38. +1

[Sherman A1]

3. Borgen

If you liked The West Wing, it is worth a look.

[asiliveandbreathe]

23. So enjoying Borgen...

[Sherman A1]

41. It is certainly a well done series

We are about halfway through and really enjoying it.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

24. Borgen is great!

The West Wing but with a parliamentary government. Lots of political backstabbing.

[malaise]

51. Netflix picked it for me

Will watch on the weekend

[Sherman A1]

52. I believe you will like it

[dixiegrrrrl]

64. one movie, one series:

movie...documentary, actually. Operation Odessa. A real life crime caper, involving a drug lord who wanted
a submarine, and the guys who set out to get it for him.
one of the funniest things i have seen this year.

Series: Occupied. Norwegian series, with engaging characters, great acting. Much like Borgen, has a
political plot.

[malaise]

65. Watched A Murder Mystery

Hilarious - silly as hell but reminded me of the old clueless investigators.

Will watch those

[pandr32]

4. Oktoberfest Beer and Blood is violent, but good

...if you don't mind subtitles. We also have enjoyed Evil. Both are recently added.

[madaboutharry]

5. I am now watching Borgen.

Also really loved Midnight Diner and Midnight Diner: Tokyo Stories.
Deadwind
Mystic Pop-up Bar

These are the series I have recently watched, all of them great.

[SWBTATTReg]

6. Umbrella Academy...this seems pretty good, we're still ip of watching it...nt

[yellowdogintexas]

59. Umbrella Academy is quite good but the first 3 episodes are

difficult to absorb. Stick with it though, because when it all starts to come together it is really cool

[arlyellowdog]

7. Enola Holmes

Just an awesome, fun movie.

[Mc Mike]

16. +1, nt.

[malaise]

53. Netflix also picked this for me

[malaise]

67. Fabulous

Loved it

[pnwest]

8. I'm going down a rabbit hole of

British and Australian shows. “Stateless”, “Offspring”, “Last Tango in Halifax”, “Five Bedrooms” are all very enjoyable.

[musette_sf]

12. +1 for Last Tango

[LizBeth]

39. Offsprings was very good. I have seen the whole series a couple times. I will have to check the

others.

[wryter2000]

9. If you like scary

There's a new series out from the folks who made the Haunting of Hill House. It's called the Haunting of Bly Manor. I can't wait.

[CurtEastPoint]

13. Wanted. Australian crime/drama/on the run series. 3 seasons.

[Hoyt]

26. Yeah, I really liked that one.

[malaise]

25. Mine too

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

27. My all-time favorite on Netflix is "Occupied."

Great political series about the Russians sneakily taking over Norway's oil production; the premise is that after a devastating hurricane in Norway caused by climate change, the Prime Minister announces that they are shutting down their oil production and turning to new thorium reactors. The EU freaks out; the Russians move in to be sure the oil keeps coming; the American ambassador (the US no longer belongs to NATO) is a backstabber; and the PM, who looked like a milquetoast, turns totally badass. There are domestic terrorists (or freedom fighters, depending on your perspective), sex and violence, and moral ambiguity. It's a great series.

[sl8]

57. I really enjoyed "Occupied", too. n/t

[cayugafalls]

31. Bookmarking! Great thread!

Thank you, malaise!

[malaise]

34. I can't believe how helpful DUers are

I just wanted something to watch later - now I have months of picks

[LizBeth]

42. +1. I am going to come back to this thread myself.

[OhZone]

32. Hmmmm

Lotsa stuffs.

Like the anime suggestions above.

But -

Why not try Mystery Science Theater- the Return.

Or one of my fav movies, Carol.

[Brother Buzz]

35. The Battered Bastards of Baseball

An improbable, but true story of Bing Russell (father of Kurt Russell) and his ownership of the minor league ball club, the Portland Mavericks. Hollywood movie stars, black-balled Yankee pitcher, future witness protection program ball player, a LEFT handed catcher, and a bat boy (Todd Field) who went on to become a film maker.

Oh, and Big League Chew™ was conceived in the Mavericks bullpen.

[vercetti2021]

37. Cobra Kai!!!

Strike first, strike hard, no mercy!

[hibbing]

43. Just watched Ratchet

Looking back it was really campy, but the story moved quickly.


Peace

[CurtEastPoint]

48. I LOVED IT! The critics hated it but Sarah Paulson was excellent. And the sets and costumes!

[Skittles]

44. I found "I'm Sorry" to be hilarious

once you get past the ever-upbeat personality of the main character, it's quite the hoot

[seaglass]

45. Derry Girls is awesome - so funny!

I have watched the wedding episode in the last season 4x and it still makes me laugh.

Did you know there is an Irish wedding tradition of the "Rock the Boat" dance?

[hunter]

49. One of our children signed us up for Netflix many years ago...

... and we haven't run out of stuff to watch yet.

Whatever you think of the British monarchy, The Crown was interesting.

Some of my ancestors, and my wife's ancestors, made it to America before the English could hang them. There's no monarchists in our families.

The Crown may also be the most expensive anti-smoking commercial ever made.

We are currently watching Schitt's Creek.

[malaise]

50. My siblings loved that but I never watch the royals

Like you I am profoundly against monarchs

[mentalsolstice]

54. My husband and I are watching Ratched during lunch. I'm binging Wentworth.

Ratched is colorful and fun. Wentworth is about a small Australian women’s prison.

If you watched and liked Parenthood, I would definitely recommend Offspring!

Other recommendations....
Broadchurch
Mindhunter
Shameless
Rectify
Away
Criminal (UK, France, Germany and Spain)
In the Dark
Unbelievable
Bloodline
Atypical
Bordertown
Rita (if you don’t mind subtitles, this was one of my favorites)

Ozark was probably our favorite so far.

[malaise]

55. Thanks everyone

What a list now

[IcyPeas]

60. I secretly loved Wentworth

[sakabatou]

56. Avatar: the Last Airbender and its sequel, The Legend of Korra

[skypilot]

58. "The Devil All the Time"

It's a movie. I would describe it as Appalachian Gothic. It wasn't what I was expecting but it was quite good.

On edit: It's not a horror movie but there is a serial killing couple in it.

[smirkymonkey]

61. I just finished watching Broadchurch.

Highly recommended. Great acting and very well done crime drama.

[malaise]

66. Adding to the list

I plan to go on a binge after whipping the Con on the 3rd
