There's some very good documentaries on there too.

Flint Town being one.

Because he's an asshole?

Are they hidden when Netflix tells you that they're there on the main menu?

Although to add to it I'd recommend "the good place"

williestroker1 · 23-05-2018 10:07AM

The Method.

Fraility (Paxton & McConnaughy)
A great movie id not seen in years

Also Cargo was quite good.........Freeman in a zombie flick

Netflix makes me hate TV. When did we become so obsessed with TV shows and movies? I mean they were always a thing but it's all anyone seems to do nowadays. I just watch Always Sunny in Philadelphia and the odd documentary but all the documentaries are so try hard. 'Making a murderer' is the worst.

James Bond Junior · 23-05-2018 10:11AM

Documentaries:
Dope - VG
Flint Town - Excellent
Just finished Evil Genius - excellent.
Comedies:
Trailer park boys
Arrested development.

Suburra - Italian series set in Rome, involving political corruption, the mafia and the Vatican, it's no Wire but worth watching.

Is there someone forcing you to watch it then ??

Always someone around to voice their displeasure, at something they complete control over! Don't watch/do it if you don't enjoy/like it !!! :rolleyes:

I found making a murderer was far too long. There's one on netflix at the moment called Evil Genius. It's far shorter.

facehugger99 · 23-05-2018 10:29AM

Not a series but.....

'Too Late' is well worth a watch. It's shot in five 22 minute takes, but the sections are not in chronological order.

It's a kind of sleazy detective/murder story in LA.

I really liked it.

Mind hunter is brilliant. Been renewed for a 2nd season too. Tis roughly based on the beginnings of the fbi behavioural science unit.

Summer wind · 23-05-2018 11:09AM

Still Game is absolutely brilliant.

Irish Guitarist · 23-05-2018 11:19AM

I don't know if you'd call it hidden as such but Bloodline is really good. It was cancelled after three series whereas it was originally intended to last five or six series. Therefore the last series was rushed and it didn't live up to its potential but it's still worth watching. I enjoyed it more than some of their more popular programs.

Simply Red · 23-05-2018 11:21AM

Question for anyone that has finished Safe:

Did they ever confirm who broke into the Chahals house when Tilly was there alone? I assume it was Bobby, maybe looking for the tape, was this ever confirmed?

LaChatteGitane · 23-05-2018 11:23AM

Money Heist or its original title La Casa de Papel. Brilliant !

Yes!
I loved it, slow burner as it sets up the premise and characters but well worth it.

Good bit of humour too.

readyletsgo · 23-05-2018 11:37AM

Wild wild Country.

Crazy!

al87987 · 23-05-2018 11:45AM

Contratiempo/The Invisible guest - Great Spanish thriller film

2nd vote for Money Heist

Icarus - Oscar winning doc from last year

I can't say I loved Mindhunter, I tried but something about it just didn't draw me in.
Really loved Godless though and thought all these were really decent where I will definitely try to catch the next season where relevant:
Ozark
The Sinner
Alias Grace
Lovesick
Glow
The Good Place

There are also the very obvious Netflix series like Fargo, Better Call Saul, The Crown that obviously are not hidden gems but are just excellent all round. Thought The OA was interesting too but don't know if I'd be bothered watching another series of it, have similar feelings about Stranger Things.

But Netflix can really get it wrong too in my opinion. Some truly awful stuff on there that I've had to switch off very early on including:
Girlboss
Designated Survivor
Friends from College
Just woeful, paint by numbers rubbish that is so badly written it's hard to believe that Netflix is involved at all given it's general good name.

Ye I thought the same. Really looking forward to season 2 as the premise is now well set.

grahamor · 23-05-2018 12:09PM

Seven Seconds
Safe
Fargo
People vs. OJ Simpson
El Chapo
Barkley Marathons
The Chalet
The Foreigner

Designated Survivor is the worst thing I've watched in years

Now that is going to be interesting the real story is bizarre

marklazarcovic · 23-05-2018 02:11PM

Is it not just the documentary that's years old? Nothing new in it? . Staircase?

Still enthralling.

It's a longer version of the 2004 docuseries.

I presume you are right, kinda have to be.
