Need a break from the unremitting sycophancy. What's good on Netflix?

[Coffeetree]

Just that. Resubscribed to Netflix and looking for a good distraction.

Kleo.
Season 5(?) of Kobra Kai.

The Crown? 🤣

What sort of shows do you like?
My daughter has made me watch Stranger Things and while I don't usually watch sci-fi it's very engaging.

I watched the documentary on Woodstock 99 - hard to believe it was such a mess.

Cheer - bingeable.

Below deck - love it!!

Don't fuck with cats

Just about to say the same! 😄
Some fantastic royal documentaries/dramas on Netflix.

OP, you do know that you can browse Netflix for things to watch?

Yes she knows that but she is asking for recommendations.

OP could have done just that but no, she/he had to make a point about ‘unremitting sycophancy’.

Don't fuck with cats isn't too gory? I'm hesitating.

Sandman is brilliant

Not in the mood for The Crown, sorry if I left that ambiguous.

Inventing Anna was amazing Anything similar to that?

Good, will queue up Sandman.

Conversely I can recommend Bad Vegan.

The Jimmy Savill documentary was absolutely phenomenal. Insightful and unsparing without any pruriency. Very respectful of the victims.

Have you watched the Woodstock 99 documentary. That was good for me last week when stuck in bed with covid.

In the past few years we've been watching Scandi drama: Borgen, Occupied , Valhalla Murders, Katla. Really enjoyed all of those, also Call My Agent, Virgin River, and for extra feel good, Anne with an E.

Unbelievable
Brokeback mountain
Call me by your name
Erin brokovitch

Definitely The Tinder Swindler and The Bad Vegan if you enjoyed Inventing Anna.

The Sandman if you like fantasy. Schitts Creek is one of the best series I've ever watched. Took 6 episodes to fall in love with it but so glad I stuck with it. Selling Sunset if you like bitchy, OTTness and real estate. Selling OC if you watched Selling Sunset and enjoyed it . Blown Away - bake off but with glass.

Snowpiercer is good, the sinner, the imperfects, the Harlan coben sets, sweet tooth,into the night.

Mindhunter

I'm very late to this, but am loving Money Heist at the moment.

The Unlikely Murderer ( documentary on death of Olaf Palme), really engaging and brilliantly done

Queens Gambit
Better Call Saul (if you liked Breaking Bad)
Tinder Swindler
