@youarenotkiddingme hmm I put when they see us on after reading this thread and its ok. Not great.
By "horrifying" do you mean the police being corrupt? Cause that's still happening now!
It's coincidental timing for the release of this show though. Trump waded in on this case and I find it a bit of a "smear campaign".
Also, I read about it online and there was a report commissioned recently which stated it was unlikely the 5 guys had nothing to do with this case and even though their stories of who did it didnt match up (pointing to the liklihood the police did make them confess) they all seemed to state how it had happened with matching stories.
Plus they weren't exactly citizens of the year.
I take these programs with a pinch of salt.

Maniac, this is the best thing on Netflix imo! Give it a few episodes and it's brilliant.
Russian Doll
Stranger Things obviously
The Good Place
You
Haunting of Hill House
I don't know if it's still on there but Hannibal is really good, although not a Netflix original.

Another vote for The Way they See Us

femfemlicious · 09/06/2019 14:43

Netflix was really shit some months ago now it is AMAZING!. I am mother, star trek, designated survivor, kin, chambers., there us always something to watch now.

femfemlicious · 09/06/2019 14:44

Avoiding watching when they see us right now!. As a black woman, I know it will depress me

gingajewel · 09/06/2019 14:50

Oh how could I have forgot about stranger things, I thought I would hate it and absolutely loved it and binge watched it in a week!

Debbiediva · 09/06/2019 14:50

It was quite depressing and a hard watch.

Whisky2014 · 09/06/2019 16:11

Honestly, I think "when they see us" is being vastly over exaggerated as being good on here.

Cocolapew · 09/06/2019 16:52

Every one has different tastes though whiskey.
I thought it was brilliant but upsetting, particularly the final episode. The acting from the actor playing Korey was fantastic.

MarshaBradyo · 09/06/2019 16:54

I couldn’t continue with When they see us

Bit enjoyed Always be my maybe

And love Mad Men

Bobbindobbin · 09/06/2019 16:56

The people vs OJ Simpson- I was hooked

Bumper1969 · 09/06/2019 17:10

Whiskey I find your comment on the victims of police injustice as not being citizens of the year really odd. That is irrelevant if their we're forced to confess to a crime they didn't commit.

LarryGreysonsDoor · 09/06/2019 17:14

I can’t believe Kim’s Convenience has only had one mention so far.

It is so funny.

Kernobhead · 09/06/2019 17:15

When they see us is worth seeing , but it's a hard watch. I also found the sound quality really poor, I struggled to hear a lot of the dialogue. That might have just been my tv though.

cookielove · 09/06/2019 17:16

I searched for always be my maybe and couldn't see it! Are you watching it in the uk!?

cookielove · 09/06/2019 17:16

CanILeavenowplease · 09/06/2019 17:18

Try Money Heist - most watched foreign series on Netflix. Superb.

Cooroo · 09/06/2019 17:19

Crazy Ex Girlfriend - is it just me? Loved it. Funny but honest. Got totally involved with the characters and some of the musical interludes are amazing.

TSSDNCOP · 09/06/2019 17:21

The Blind Side is on on movies. I cry every time. I've watched it st least 25 times.

FijateBien · 09/06/2019 17:23

Schitts Creek is great. Every character is brilliant. Especially the mum with her transatlantic drawl.
Santa Clarita Diet.

El Marginal is my personal favourite.
