Does anyone have any netflix hidden gems?

I've seen all the usual ones that everyone knows about but I am out of stuff to watch and Netflix only puts stuff that it thinks you will like. So I get a merry-go-round of the same stuff each time.

Does anyone have anything that they think is brilliant but no one else seems to know about?

Marcella is a really good detective series.

Both HILARIOUS but also addictive

Unbelievable. Put it on thinking well if I don't like it I'll turn it off. I was hooked midway through the first episode and ended up dragging my duvet onto the living room floor so I could snuggle down and binge watch the full series. It's one of those where you want to keep watching it to see what happens. Woke up the following morning around 9am still laid on the living room floor. The other one I've really enjoyed watching and I've watched it twice through is my secret Terrius. It's Korean with subtitles.

Fargo
Godless - don't be put off thinking it's a western and just for blokes
House of Cards - US version
Rita - subtitles but fab
Bonus Family - ditto

Fight For My Way - so much fun

Very few of these could be called Hidden gems. Orange is the New Black, Mindhunters?

Crabbo · 23/05/2020 22:19

Dark. It’s addictive trying to work it out. It’s German with subtitles.

I also hate the menu system in Netflix, the recommendations are always crap.

I second most of the stuff mentioned by others )except I wasn't bowled over by Mindreader. There's always one isn't there).

I second "Godless", I've yet to come across anyone in RL who's seen it. Jeff Daniels is awesome in it...
