Recommend me some decent netflix series?

[beatrixpotterspencil]

I keep experiencing bad luck with the algorithm I think. A lot of what I begin watching cruises quickly into gross violence. No idea why as i can't stand it.
If I can't get out of that loop soon i feel like dropping the subscription.

Can anyone recommend how to get it to quit offering me stuff that looks cerebral but ends up really violent? For example i began watching a European drama series last week that was described as 'emotional ' 'cerebral' with imagery that looked fairly interesting. 5 mins in a guy tied a cow to a tree and exploded it. I am so effing sick of this shit.

I want cerebral, deep, intelligent - like crime dramas (but more like morse, vera or midsomer than gritty blood & guts), I also love mysteries, supernatural, UK and international drama...not so much US stuff.

Do I give up, or is there a way to solve the problem?
Any great series recommendations welcome, thanks! :)

Does anyone else watch on your profile? I keep getting vampires and high schools, it’s DGDs choice.

The missing is very good if you've not yet seen it

Have you watched Lupin?

I also like Dérapages, which has Eric Cantona in it.

I loved Lupin! Managed to convince DH to go for subtitles over dubbing too. It was excellent.

The Serpent is brilliant too

Handmaid’s isn’t on Netflix is it????

Another fan of Lupin and Inhuman Resources (Derapages) as mentioned above.

Also enjoyed Squid Game, which I’ll grant you is violent, but is central to the story and strangely compelling.

Money Heist - Excellent series, it’s dubbed Spanish but don’t let that pit you off.
Ozark - Money laundering crime series.
Shadow & Bone
Locke & Key
Sex Education
OA
Ragnarok

thank you all!
