What have you watched recently on BBC/Netflix/All4/Sky that blew you away?

I keep finding stuff that’s ok but not that memorable.

Can be anything - comedy/drama/thriller. Open to subtitles.

Thanks!

I'm just binge watching Damages but we're really enjoying The Hunters on Amazon and Defending Jacob on Apple

Now They See Us on Netflix. Absolutely heartbreaking and brilliant.

PorpentiaScamander · 04/06/2020 20:43

The Upload on Amazon was funny. Not sure it 'blew me away' but I really enjoyed it.

*When They See Us

Unorthodox on Netflix, only 4 episodes but it was fascinating

hillsandvalleys · 04/06/2020 20:47

Little fires everywhere on Amazon prime. It was simply incredible, so emotive and thought provoking.
Comedy wise, Crashing on all 4 was laugh out loud funny

hillsandvalleys · 04/06/2020 20:48

And Caliphate on Netflix was deep.... so so deep

userxx · 04/06/2020 20:49

I'm watching criminal justice with Maxine Peake on iPlayer. It's very good.

userxx · 04/06/2020 20:50

@hillsandvalleys That's on my to watch list on Netflix.

Autumnchill · 04/06/2020 20:53

Little Fires was great and the way it comes full circle was excellent

Groundhogdayzz · 04/06/2020 20:55

Second Unorthodox.

Janek · 04/06/2020 20:57

Third Unorthodox - I never knew people lived like that still, I couldn't stop thinking about it.

LunaHardy · 04/06/2020 20:58

When They See Us
Time: The Kalief Browder story.

Both on Netflix. Both heartbreaking and eye opening but brilliant.

FTMF30 · 04/06/2020 21:01

I second The Kalief Browder story but it left me feeling really low for days. So much so that I could only watch 2 episodes of Now They See Us. It left knots in my stomach.

*When They See Us 🙄

Sharpandshineyteeth · 04/06/2020 21:03

Gameface on channel four. It’s a lesser known comedy gem.

HarrietOh · 04/06/2020 21:06

Unorthodox was the last thing I watched like that.
Also Unbelieveable... I couldn’t stop watching that!

LovingLen · 04/06/2020 21:08

Defending Jacob on Apple and Little fires everywhere on Amazon

This is us season 4 is on Amazon from tomorrow and I know that will blow me away so adding that in too

LunaHardy · 04/06/2020 21:28

@FTMF30 I watched When They See Us on the plane to New York last year, I cried all the way there! Then when we got there I walked round Central Park feeling really sad! Really got to me. Same with the Kalief Browder series, but feel it's really important to watch.

Hermie12 · 04/06/2020 21:32

How to get away with murder and just watching Ozarks

DeathMetalMum · 04/06/2020 21:35

Giri/Haji
Netflix
Japanese crime/drama few subtitles but I really enjoyed it.

TheGoldenNugget · 04/06/2020 21:35

The trials of Gabriel Fernandez. Couldn't stop thinking about him 😢 It's on Netflix

Beachcomber1 · 04/06/2020 21:36

French series called Inhuman Resources starring Eric Cantona- he’s a really good actor!

Thriller/drama.

MamaLion1319 · 04/06/2020 21:37

The Cry & The Nest on bbc

Bluntness100 · 04/06/2020 21:37

Money heist.

And unorthodox is surprisingly good.
