Is there anything worth watching on Netflix?

I only have about 3 days left so nothing super long that can't be seen elsewhere. Every time I subscribe I remember why I didn't bother continuing.

I have tried most of the usual, anything interesting?

Series 4 of the Crown out today - you’ve just got time to watch it (assuming you’ve already seen 1-3).

The queen's gambit

Is the crown worth watching if you don't care about the royal family? I have always just discounted it.

The Boys!

Also watching the Queen’s Gambit. It’s a limited series - only 7 episodes.

Sometimes even things you like are not for you. I tried to watch chernobyl a few times, but my attention slid off it, could not pay attention if you payed me.

The Crown is written by a republican. It’s quite soapy really. I’d call it a guilty pleasure, but it is annoying how many inaccuracies have made it into the script.

Schitt’s Creek, a lovely comedy that has helped me get through this year! I’m rationing myself to make it last longer but you could binge watch.

Queens gambit is a beautiful little series. We watched it in three days. May even do a rewatch over Xmas

MrsArchchancellorRidcully · 16/11/2020 00:23

The queens gambit. Sadly it means nothing else will ever live up to watching.

blueyed · 16/11/2020 00:24

Schitt’s Creek. Love it so much

Gillypip · 16/11/2020 00:48

Mindhinter.... It's a slow boil but so worth the watch. David Fincher series.

It's very well made and isn't just about the Royal Family, it shows other historic events/people. It's also witty and funny in parts. You don't have to like or care about the RF to enjoy it

The Crown is far better than Queens Gambit

I liked mindhunter, not being made into a new series though. Which is a shame.

Caliphate.... From memory I think it has subtitles but it is gripping. Well worth a watch
