Netflix - what have I missed?

I had it for a while then cancelled around 6 months ago as I didn't feel I was getting much out of a subscription anymore, but now there's a few shows I want to watch so I'm considering getting another month or two...what have I missed? Stranger Things season 3 was the last thing I saw so anything from July onwards that's a can't miss!

My 'to watch' list is:
The Witcher
The Stranger
You (season 2)

Typically enjoy fantasy, crime drama and true crime, and some sci fi (nothing too complicated or hard to follow though!)

First time around I watched and enjoyed Stranger Things, Dirk Gently, Making a Murderer, Abducted in Plain Sight, The Confession Tapes, Jessica Jones amongst others.

Binge watched the messiah this weekend - Amazing

survivingdad · 26/01/2020 21:51

Messiah and spotless are both worth a watch

The cheer! So compelling.

The Messiah is excellent.

Lots of intense, one on one interview type scenes with cracking acting. Which leads me to.....

True Detective

I thought I would enjoy the Witcher, but I tried the first episode and hated it. DH liked it, but it’s a no from me.

Titsywoo · 26/01/2020 22:58

Sex Education is fantastic

ViserionTheDragon · 26/01/2020 23:25

Dead To Me is quite good.

Fanciedachange1 · 27/01/2020 07:36

Dope! And there’s another one with a similar name.

Claims to be real, following drug dealers, users and cops. Not sure how real it is but it is so addictive it’s unreal!

Cheer Grin
When they see us
Unbelievable

BearSoFair · 27/01/2020 10:38

Cheer is on my list now too!
Loved the Ted Bundy Tapes, but didn't enjoy the first season of Sex Education much.

I'll still give The Witcher a go, if I don't like it there's still a couple of others I would have subscribed for.

Mindhunter

Zofloramummy · 27/01/2020 11:07

The Witcher gets better as you watch it, it jumps about in time a bit but I didn’t find it too confusing. Seeing Henry Cavil without his clothes on was a definite plus! Wink

Snowy111 · 27/01/2020 17:44

Have just binge watched unbelievable on the strength of this thread! If you can get past the first episode which is quite harrowing, it’s a really good watch

Snowy111 · 27/01/2020 20:20

Russian doll is slightly weird and very wonderful

BearSoFair · 28/01/2020 09:31

Russian Doll is great, really enjoyed that first time around! Might give it a second viewing actually...

Based on this thread I started October Faction - I really liked it, binge watched the 1st 7 episodes (I was off sick if that redeems me in any way).

I also liked Unbelievable as other posters have said.

I have just watched the first episode of Black Mirror - bizarre, but will probably watch more.

PrincessHoneysuckle · 28/01/2020 16:39

Dont F*k with Cats is very disturbing but interesting documentary

flopsytheflatcat · 28/01/2020 16:43

The Spy is good and really beautifully filmed

Buggedandconfused · 28/01/2020 16:44

When they see us was just incredible.
Also Unbelievable

heymammi · 28/01/2020 16:51

Alot of great suggestions here, I have October Faction on my watch list so will be on that soon.
I would recommend:

When they see us
The mind of Aaron Hernandez
The Witcher
Titans
Unbelievable
You (season 2)

MaxAmount · 28/01/2020 16:52

I quite enjoyed Travellers. Annoyed there is no more seasons though.

Tobermory · 01/02/2020 23:05

DartmoorChef · 01/02/2020 23:10

BobLobLawLLB · 01/02/2020 23:19

I really enjoyed Gamechangers.

heymammi · 02/02/2020 12:18

Would like to add The Stranger to the list, finished it last night and it is definitely worth a watch.
