redsince1994 Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 Anyone seen the OA on Netflix? Still not sure how I feel about it, sometimes it seems to be the stupidest thing I have ever seen yet I keep going back for more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 Other stuff Netflix The Marvel shows were pretty decent if you like comic book related stuff (daredevil and Punisher particularly) Archer Need to finish the last season of House of Cards and Shooter Amazon Jack Ryan Parks & Rec Man City: All or nothing is good if you haven't seen it yet, they have similar shows based on NFL teams and the all blacks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was watching it thinking “this is a bit far fetched” but the most ridiculous stuff was actually true. Escobar‘s antics and the money he was making was utterly crazy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibor Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 Altered Carbon on Netflix and The Expanse on Amazon for anybody into sci-fi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS2 Red Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 There are also loads of sport documentaries on Amazon. Netflix is a bit light on sport, but Sunderland ‘till I Die is worth a watch. Just skip the part where we play them.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 Locke and Key on Netflix, based on the Joe Hill (Stephen King's soon) book. I like the Picard series on Prime The Marvellous Mrs Maisel is very funny and James May going around Japan was a nice mini series. If you are into podcasts and horror, there is a great series on BBC Sounds. It's loosely based on HP Lovecraft stuff, but it interweaves real characters and events into the narrative and is set in contemporary times. The conceit is that they are running an investigative podcast called the Mystery Machine. The first season is called The Case of Charles Dexter Fletcher and the second season is called Whisperers in the Dark and I loved it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyderInACan Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 Not sure if it's even available on paid-for streaming sites but if you can get Dexter to watch from the beginning you won;t regret it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also liked In the Shadow of the Moon and The Circle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
