To ask for your Netflix recommendations please

[HotChocolate16]

So I’m really struggling to get into a new series. I’ve tried so many but if the first episode isn’t gripping I just lose focus and give up!

I’ve just watched and enjoyed
Pretty little liars
Gossip girl
SWAT
designated survivor
Jane the virgin

I don’t like sci-fi or supernatural stuff. I enjoy dramas and thrillers mainly.

I’ve tried watching virgin river, Ginny and Georgia, the maid, the fall, and just can’t seem to get into them or focus. I know everyone’s watching ozark atm but I can’t seem to want to watch that either!

Any good recommendations?

I love The Bold Type (hence my user name!)

Not Netflix but I'm currently watching Yellowjackets on Sky - definitely grips you from the very first episode.

You
Emily in Paris
Bridgerton
The queens Gambit
Behind her eyes
Squid games

I'm watching all the old Star Trek's 🙈

I also liked Into the night.

I've just started Cuckoo. Lighthearted sitcom.

I've just watched Maid and enjoyed it. Now watching Season 4 of Ozark.

In lockdown I loved loved loved Call My Agent.

The Queens Gambit
Dirty John
Mrs Wilson
Bloodline
The first 'Sinner' season

Firefly lane

House of cards

Give 'Ozark' another chance. The premise is more than a little implausible, as are many of the plot twists, but the brilliance of the acting and characterisation will draw you in. Also it features a wide variety of interesting female characters without it feeling tokenistic or box ticking in nature.

A Summer of Rockets - brilliant!

Animal Kingdom

Motherland

After Life is brilliant unless you’re recently been bereaved.

My recent faves:

Atypical
Sex Education
The Queen's Gambit
Good Girls Revolt
Firefly Lane
Mare of Easttown

All very very good 👍

Squid Game
The Puppet Master (3 episodes, documentary)

Money Heist - must watch in Spanish with the English subtitles - absolutely fab!

After Life - I've just started watching and really like it so far.

Designated Survivor

The Crown, obviously

I kept seeing Money Heist recommended but couldn’t get into it. Then realised I could have it dubbed instead of subtitled and I loved it. Must be a total philistine I know but I just can’t be doing with reading while I’m watching TV!

Dead to me
Brigerton
Motherland
Derry Girls
Valeria (Spanish subtitles)
Selling Sunset - reality tv
Cheer - reality tv
The Hook Up plan (French subtitles)

Lighthearted fun I enjoy Superstore, Brooklyn 99 and The Good Place.

Enjoyed Ozark season one and two it couldn’t get into 3. Will give it another go now that 4 is out too.

Call my agent, definitely. Also this new British documentary series called the puppet master. It’s fascinating.

Clickbait is amazing!

I was going to say Russian Doll but not sure if it meets the no supernatural requirement. Its brilliant though and I've been trying to get people to watch it for years now. No one will!

Clickbait was great as PP said.

@Thursa I read the other day that the second series of Sweet Magnolias is due soon…yay!!
