Or is everything on Netflix terrible?

Have I watched everything that's worth watching or I can I just not find anything?

Any recommendations?

Definitely watched everything worth watching!

I'm being offered a LOT of Adam Sandler so unless DH is fucking with my "likes" to wind me up it makes me think Netflix's algorithm is off.

Well what kind of shows or genre do you enjoy? What have you seen that you really enjoyed.

Dissuadepersuade · 15/12/2022 16:10

I'm in the same boat..I still put it on every evening then get fed up of whatever I've put on after 10 mins and go up to sleep.

Mummieslncorporated · 15/12/2022 16:11

Have you watched Extraordinary Attorney Woo?

Dissuadepersuade · 15/12/2022 16:11

Oh and most of the stuff on the 'trending'lists is complete crap don't know how anyone's watching it.

I keep getting recommended the 'Troll' movie, I tried for 20 mins and I'm still mad that I'll never get that 20 mins back

Tinseltosser · 15/12/2022 16:13

It’s fine for me.

But then I recently fell down a kdrama hole I am yet to climb out of, so everything in trending etc. is Korean.

Driving DH nuts 😂

You need to switch it up, I have paramount plus now

I've watched friends approximately 1200 times. Breaking bad I enjoyed but I didn't get into Saul. Not keen on any of the adult cartoons really. I like Dark but I'm saving the new series for Christmas. I don't like romcoms or Christmas films. I don't like gory horror and already watched a lot of the spooky stuff like Hill House.

I am currently bingwatching Downton Abbey and have Deadwind season 3 and Notre-Dame lined up. Also waiting for new seasons of Emily in Paris, Lupin, Heartland, the Lincoln Lawyer and Virgin River.

Ok, I'll bite! .. have you watched H&M? It's quite funny, you can play 'count the lies', you can enjoy imagining the other side of the story (cos you definitely are NIT getting a fair and balanced picture!!), you can play 'what's the acting what's real', you can play 'spot the blindingly privileged, spoilt, out of touch' gaffs! And you can enjoy a masterclass in self promotion and narcissism! All quite fun!

Failing the above, afterlife is good if you've not watched it yet!!

Talk to me about Kdrama because I'm not even sure where to start but Netflix keeps giving me teen type options which I'm not interested in.

*NOT

OlleOskiFelle · 15/12/2022 16:16

It depends what you like, I'm a sucker for teen shows and there's loads, plus most drama films.

greenhousegal · 15/12/2022 16:16

Agree, it's gone full on boring and irrelevant lately.

However I am watching a series about a female doctor in a Danish fertility clinic , and it is promising. Funny but not funny. Called Baby Fever.

Is that more television or films? We had Apple TV before but only for Ted Lasso.

We went on holiday and the algorithm started offering me loads of shows and films from that country. Switched things up a bit!

I've watched it. You see, maybe I have watched it all. 🤔 I quite enjoyed it actually.

Looking forward to 1899 but DH made me promise to wait for him

I like the sound of Deadwind thank you

I agree, OP.

I've defended us keeping NF in the past because there was often stuff I wanted to watch on there. But it's getting less and less likely.

More often than not, I start something and find it is disappointing and never finish it. The £10.99 is looking like less and less value for money. For me.

ladyofshertonabbas · 15/12/2022 16:22

Dead to Me? Was very well written.

Pothoswithasparkle · 15/12/2022 16:22

I am nearly at the stage of "Fuck this. Pirate bay it is" because we pay the highest for shraing and frankly, it's not starting to be worthed.

Fuming at them for having season 4 of manifest but not the previous ones. What is the poiiiiint!?

I do enjoy few like Inside Job, Watcher, but is it worth that money anymore? Not sure

TellySavalashairbrush · 15/12/2022 16:22

100% agree. I haven't watched anything decent on there since Squid Games. I am considering getting rid of it as I never find anything I like. Amazon Prime is even worse IMO.

WhaleInAManger · 15/12/2022 16:22

Looking forward to 1899

This is one of these I wanted to see but gave up after one episode. Others like it, so it may just be me. But I found it very slow and it made me suspicious it was the kind of thing that wasn't going to have a decent ending.

Exactly, I used to love it but there seems to be less I'm actually keen to watch now but that could be down to the search function and the trending list not showing me things I want to see.
