I've got a free three months of Netflix what shall I watch?

[LilacRos]

I haven't had Netflix for a few years.

I like
Period drama
Wartime drama
Crime series (just enjoyed Karen Pirie) but not too violent
Australian humour
Spy thrillers
Cosy crime

I don't like
Gore, violence, soaps, saccharine US series like Virgin River.
Films

Taboo as in the Tom Hardy one from ages ago? Season one, or is there another? (there were murmurings about a season two, but they seem to have gone quiet now).

Bridgerton, Orange is the New Black, FUBAR, The Crown, Firefly Lane, Designated Survivor, Mindhunter.

oooooh exciting 🤗try Missing You, a lot of Harlan Coburn stuff is pretty good! I loved Bodies too, the storyline was great, there is loads of great crime docs as well…. I can’t watch anything too gory! Enjoy!

Madame Blanc Mysteries - nice easy, fun cosy crime watch.

Yellowstone, 1883,1923
Queens Gambit
Godless
Unforgotten

Taboo
The Diplomat
Dept Q
Unknow Number: catfishing docu.

The docu on the Yorkshire Ripper. And Big little lies

What is The Makanai? I consider myself well versed in Netflix offerings but it’s a new one for me

All Quiet on the Western Front is right up my street. I'm currently watching The Crimson Field on Prime.
I'm old enough to remember the original Forsyte saga so will add that to the list.

I've seen Mme Blanc on Acorn.
Designated Survivor I enjoyed years ago when I had Netflix.

The Crown.

I’m certainly not a royalist, but I really enjoyed it, particularly the first 4 seasons. Season 5 is also good but the less said about season 6 the better.

It does take a few liberties with history, but the production values & performances are extraordinarily good. The best episodes, eg Aberfan, Vergangenheit are as good as TV drama gets.

Makanai

This review gives a very good sense of what it is and what it's like. It's a very beautiful and charming show. Highly unusual.

Thanks @LittleBitofBread 👍

Dept Q was brilliant, I got hooked
