Netflix Recommendations Thread 3.0

I recommended the film Joy to my folks.
The one with Jennifer Lawrence...turns out they ended up watching a totally different film called Joy about Nigerian sex trafficking by accident....
They said it was good though in fairness lol

Started watching "Night stalker: The hunt for a serial killer" last night. Two episodes in and its gripping stuff. What really stood out to me was how incredible those Homicide detectives were. They sacrificed their own personal lives and families to catch a killer. The guy of mexican heritage had joined the military at 17, had a couple of tours in Vietnam done by 20, and a cop by 21, then went on to be a Homicide detective and work one of the most notorious murder cases in American history.......they were a different breed of men back then.

While the cops were front and central I think that what stands out is the victims and the trail of destruction ramirez left behind him.. Plus spoilers would be helpful for people who haven't watched it.

Enjoying the night stalker doc too.
Never heard of him tbh.
Seriously grizzly to say the least.

It's ok to spoil documentaries in here, it's been done before and was perfectly fine...

It’s a show about real life events. There are no spoilers.

not this again

But sure it always starts with someone making a smart comment, use spoilers or thanks for spoiling......

On the night stalker doc

they missed so many chances to catch him....the thing with the buzzer in the dentist is particularly stupid! What a disaster, along with the car.

I am using spoilers in case people don't know the case like me.

Is superstore a reality show or tv drama series ( actors) ? F it’s not a reality show, I think a show like that would be pretty cool to do. A reality show following supermarket staff.

And a pretty decent one. It's no Parks and Recreation but it definitely has a cast of likeable characters and will engender the odd chuckle.

It's decent isn't it.
I particularly like the Dina and Cheyenne characters.

The Night Stalker documentary series is excellent, best original content from Netflix in a long time.

Watched the first episode of Lupin.. really good!

Zips along and is flashy and fun!

Was just about to post asking about that as a friend recommended it. But this friend and I would have fairly different tastes.

Anyone else watching it and what's the verdict?
