What's good on Netflix at the moment?

I need something new, preferably a series or documentary rather than a film.
An easy watch as I have no brain power at this time.

I enjoyed Nobody Wants This and A Man Called Otto on Netflix recently.

I’ve also loved Bump on iPlayer - it seems teenager-ish but it’s not at all!

Is it very political? My brain doesn’t compute when I don’t get the politics lol.

It's not really high level, just enjoyable.

There is an assumption that you vaguely know how an embassy works and the civil service but it's not especially representative and I think you could understand the gist from the programme without a background in it.

And there are some extra layers underneath; references to Trump and Biden but not overt, the odd bit about Afghanistan, but none of them are in any way central to your enjoyment of what is ultimately a fantasy of what that bit of politics looks like.

It’s not new but if you haven’t watch it “the good place” I wish I could go back and watch it again for the first time. 20min episodes and very easy watching

I enjoyed that series too. Definitely not taxing on the brain but entertaining and a bit different.

Sweet fuck all!

Paulspots · 02/11/2024 20:08

Fisk and Girls5Eva both made me chuckle ☺️

Enjoying the blacklist, but I have vpn

Surgicalprecison · 02/11/2024 20:08

I've got hooked on The Resident. It's a typical American hospital drama but a good one.

user8754387 · 02/11/2024 20:11

The first series of the diplomat was quite good but its lost its way with series 2.

Nobody wants this
a man called otto

HundredMilesAnHour · 02/11/2024 20:13

I really liked series 2 of The Diplomat (binge-watched it last night). I was gutted when I realised that was the last episode and they weren't more left.

xyz111 · 02/11/2024 20:13

Monsters the menendez brothers story was really good. I didn't know the story as was a child when it happened. Then watched the documentary on it.

MiddleClassProblem · 02/11/2024 20:13

Don’t watch The Perfect Couple. It’s awful.

Calliopespa · 02/11/2024 20:19

Was motherland any good?

Don’t watch The Perfect Couple. It’s awful.

I thought it was ok but I really like Nicole Kidman ( not her best though).

Bloody brilliant!

Autumn5000 · 02/11/2024 20:30

I'm in Lincoln lawyer atm. The lead is pretty easy on the eyes too!!
Money heist is also another one I watched a while ago. It's dubbed over but not in a cheesy cringe way. It's really good!

EineReiseDurchDieZeit · 02/11/2024 20:31

Ive been watching The Empress, it's German language though but very good.

Also second Diplomat and Nobody Wants This
