I am a newcomer to Netflix and want advice. My attention span is short [I get bored easily] but I do like a film which is a bit dark like a psychological thriller or a sad true story [I am weird I know]

Have just wasted time watching the awful Late Late show [I hate Country and Western music ] . so would someone be able to recommend a film of series that I might enjoy?

ETA I actually have been paying for Netflix for over a year but haven't bothered with it and was going to cancel it when I came across this thread so decided to give it a go.

Check out Mindhunter.I really enjoyed it, 10 episodes at about 50 mins long.

Set in the late 1970s, two FBI agents are tasked with interviewing serial killers to solve open cases.

I'm sure you'll get good recommendations, but you know you can just type in "Psychological Thriller" and it'll give results right? It has categories for everything.

Honestly not trying to be condescending, I just see some people freeze up if they're used to TV channels and get lost when trying to adjust to Netflix at first.

The Invitation is a very good one, off the top of my head.

Give 'Faults' a watch for a decent fiction thriller

Making a Murderer is Netflix's big true crime documentary. Forensic Files is also in there.

Just finished 'the chalet'

Good start, disappointing end. Almost learned French by accident

Agent Coulson · 21-04-2018 06:31AM

Dope season 2 is as good as season 1.

Really sad to be honest.

Don’t do drugs kids.

Just finished Seven Seconds.

Decent, solid show. Some great performances, some annoying ones.

7/10

Porridge is now on Netflix. There aren't many better sitcoms imo and it's aged pretty well.

Yeah they added quite a few good ones from the bbc archive a few weeks back

The Alienist is brilliant.

fin12 · 22-04-2018 10:04AM

The last kingdom is brilliant

fin12 · 22-04-2018 12:00PM

Anyone know who the Irish actor in the last kingdom season 2 is?

Sorry just found out. Sorry he is Scottish but he does a good Irish accent.

Mary Rowley place Irish warrior Finan and Irish actress Eva Birthistle plays Hild.

fin12 · 22-04-2018 07:19PM

Just watched the last episode of the last kingdom.

so sad, I wanted Eric and Aethflaed to escape and be together forever. So p*ssed off, poor Eric

The BBC one with Stellan Skarsgard? Thought that was a highpoint of BBC's output over the past few years, along with Happy Valley.

Very good.

Any recommendations for a decent thriller to watch tonight?

Would it make sense to renew it? It's a pretty self contained story. I don't think I bother watching a second series tbh, it kind of unravelled a bit at the end for me.

It's getting added this week afaik. I read up a little bit about it. Lighthearted superhero comedy by the sounds of it.

Edit:added tomorrow.

Watched the first couple of episodes of The Let Down, an Australian comedy-drama series about a new mother joining a mother-baby support group. There's every cliche known to man about new motherhood thrown into the mix but it's brought together really well by the star, and co-writer of the show, Alison Bell. Without her in the mix, it would feel like a very paint by numbers show about being a new mother but she pulls off that knackered confusion of a first time mother brilliantly. The first scene is her trying to let her daughter get some sleep in her car at night while a drug dealer is trying to get her to move on from his patch encapsulates what the show gets right with its comedy.

That said, it doesn't always get it right and it can drift slightly at times but there's still plenty of charm and humour to keep you engaged and I'll probably finish this off tonight.

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: Marty Short’s and my new @netflix special will be aired May 25th! “An Evening You Will Forget for the Rest of Your Life.”

I sure you thought, “I’ll bet it’s not a big announcement,” and now you have to eat your thoughts. Because it’s undeniably big.
