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?

The Last Kingdom. I can't understand why it doesn't have a higher profile

ITonyah · 25/05/2020 09:29

Yes I really enjoyed Glitch. Good acting although as ever the forst series was the best.

BearSoFair · 25/05/2020 10:16

Ooh yes The Last Kingdom is so good!

@WaxOnFeckOff it really is great and a hidden gem, Jeff Daniels is superb in it. I binge watched it over 2 days. I wonder if the Western genre is a little off-putting for some people, I thought it was fab and I liked the strong female casting as well ...

UntamedWisteria · 26/05/2020 20:37

Just finished watching Unorthodox, thought it was good.

Good thread OP

Altered Carbon is very good.
Ragnarok
Locke and Key
Stranger Things (suspect everyone has seen that one but I’m new to Netflix)

The Originals (there are loads of episodes per season and I got season fatigue and started playing bingo with “brother”, “little wolf”, “you betrayed me” etc)

WaxOnFeckOff · 26/05/2020 20:49

Yeah, cupcake, I'd have binged it as well but it was one of our one episode a day things watching with DSs. DH had already watched it years ago and kept saying "don't be put off that it's a western.." :o

We struggle for things suitable for watching with DSs (as in things that we all might be interested in, not things that don't have violence etc in them).

Tigerty · 26/05/2020 20:50

James Purefoy is in Altered Carbon. He’s not a shy man is he Grin

VioletVerity · 26/05/2020 20:51

Orphan black
Queen of the south

They are definitely 2 of the most under rated shows on Netflix!

Earache2020 · 26/05/2020 21:01

You are all in for a treat....

Crazy ex girlfriend

It's honestly so so funny especially the music videos of which there are a few in every episode.

Looking forward to trying out the shows in this thread so thanks OP

I've been watching old series of Gossip Girl and New Girl. Also Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries. (Am all about the escapism at the moment.)

maddiemookins16mum agree about Ladies in Black, really enjoyed it. I ended up buying the book on my Kindle and that's good as well.

Adding loads of these recommendations to my watch list... Thanks all Flowers

grey12 · 26/05/2020 22:21

Just finished "fall from grace ". It's a movie, not famous actors or anything but gripping!

IHaveBrilloHair · 26/05/2020 22:26

If you enjoyed Fall from grace, try Anchor Baby.
Another good film the will slip under the radar.

iwantavuvezela · 27/05/2020 20:45

The Kominsky Method was very funny and really loved this

bonus Family (Swedish subtitles) also really enjoyed

(Trying to think of the not so obvious ones you might have missed)

Gaelforce · 27/05/2020 21:09

@Ifeellikeanidiot

thanks for the recommendation for Seven Seconds - binged watched at weekend and really enjoyed it.

2468whodoyouappreciate · 27/05/2020 21:16

Hinterland. Loved it. All 3 series are on there.

3luckystars · 27/05/2020 21:26

SPOTLESS

It's just one series, very gory but really funny.

ifeellikeanidiot · 27/05/2020 23:25

@Gaelforce I'm glad you liked it! I'm really surprised more people haven't seen it.
