    Nice to hear, that stuff has all been on the UK one for a month or two. Girl With all the Gifts was also added recently, though that may be UK only for now.

    TV show wise: Sneaky Pete, Marvelous Mrs Maisel and Man in the High Castle should be on the irish one and are all well worth a watch imo.

    The last man on Earth is Great from what I've seen of it.

    The interface with Prime is absolutely pants though. It's only through Justwatch.com that you've any hope of knowing what's added.

    I'm just about to start episode 4 in the first season of Line of Duty.

    It's a recommendation I picked up from this thread, and I'm really liking it so far.

    Watched teh first 3 episodes of Marvellous Mrs. Maisel yesterday.

    Really enjoyed it. Excellent.

    i agree with poster above that interface is terrible though.

    Started The Last Kingdom over the weekend, very impressed thus far. Haven't found anything I like as much as this in ages.

    Have you watched Vikings, if so, how does it compare? I never heard of it before until it started appearing in my recommendations list, possibly because I added Norsemen to my list.

    Maybe better if the title of this thread could be edited to include Prime as well

    As mentioned above, there’s already a general online streaming thread for recommendations here: https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=103288531

    Just note that it’s for film recommendations - this thread is the only one we’ve made allowances for TV as well given it would be impossible to moderate otherwise :pac: Obviously there’s always the pertinent forums over in the Television category for all your TV related needs :)

    Vikings is great, especially the first few seasons. The last kingdom is equally enjoyable but I think its a bit 'softer'. This doesn't take away from it though.
    They share a lot of similarities and if you like one you should probability ike the other.

    Outlaw King is good. Its sortof like Braveheart but maybe a bit more historically accurate.

    ‘Extremis’ - a short documentary (less than 30 minutes long, I think) about the difficulties in making end-of-life decisions for your ailing loved ones. Very intense and thought-provoking.

    The Resistance Banker is good though I would have preferred they used the original Dutch language with subtitles rather than superimposing English on people not speaking English.

    Cheers. Yeah, Vikings is great. Incidentally the second half of the existing season just started this week, I'll have to wait for RTE or History here to show it.

    Might give Last Kingdom a go so.

    The Kominsky Method. I'm two episodes in and it's probably the best comedy series I've watched in quite some time.
    Stella cast and the writing is as sharp as a knife. Superb.

    I'm a few episodes into season 3 now, and totally loving it.

    It's finds like this which make me have no qualms about paying the Netflix monthly fee, and also why this thread is such a great resource. I wouldn't have taken a chance on Line of Duty only for the amount of mentions it got in here.

    I'll need another show to launch into when I finish LoD soon. Are there any other non-US detective shows similar to LoD on Netflix which I should watch?

    I'm Luthered up btw, and I completed Sherlock before watching LoD. Luther and Sherlock, two shows which start out great but are let down by their conclusions/most recent seasons IMO.

    Unforgotten and River are both worth watching imo.

    Happy Valley is a brilliant show. Not quite detective type show but lots of police stuff and generally brilliant acting and gripping storylines.

    Yeah, most things with Nicola Walker in are worth watching. Great actress.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Ya she's great. Have you seen the Split, where she plays a divorce lawyer? Not as good as Unforgotten and River but still very watchable.
