What's on Netflix

I agree that it’s probably not good value these days, but it’s difficult to know what’s a good alternative. A lot of programmes are already available on free to stream British TV channels such as Iplayer etc.

I sometimes feel the same, then some good stuff appears, and I forget how horrid and frustrating Netflix can be. Currently I am overwhelmed with watchable stuff because I went without it altogether for a few months earlier this year.

I rewatched Ground Hog Day, I never get tired of watching this film, so many really funny moments, it’s just brilliant!

I am enjoying The Beast in Me so far and surprisingly Special Ops Lioness

Was very disturbed to see that Parenthood is disappearing in early December. I have been watching one or two episodes a week so am only up to series 2, it is a quiet, gentle series but very entertaining with good characters, I doubt I will see it all before is vanishes.

I have to clean up my “Continue Watching” list as there are a couple of series that I have abandoned which still leer at me.

Can’t wait for another series of Riot Women and The Diplomat but I think Professor T has run its course, the last series was very disappointing.

(not all of those are on Netflix)

that’s a shame. I watched it all a while ago and it’s very good.

We have all six seasons of Parenthood available on Netflix, I’ve seen them all, definitely on my “favourites list”. I started watching The Diplomat but then left it as I was getting bored.

There are some nasty violent scenes, bad sex, incest, which is all a bit unfortunate. We’ve decided to drop it halfway through the first series. Has anyone else tried it? Is S2 and/or S3 less, erm, dark.

We are gonna watch Man on the Inside Season 2 :heavy_check_mark:

We abandoned it after the first few minutes, can’t really remember why, just a bit noisy and hectic maybe. Too late to give it another go now.

fun fact :Mary Steenburgen (Mona) and Ted Danson (Charles) have been real life married for 30 years

Just watched the latest Bridget Jones film - Mad about the boy. I loved it just like I loved the previous three films which I’ve seen twice.
These are definitely on my “favourites” list.
Allso very nostalgic for me, the Hampstead setting, not far from where I used to live and a pub in that area, where we used to go sometimes,the Spaniards Inn. :smiley:

I enjoyed the film but didn’t like the “boy” because of the character the same actor plays in the White Lotus season 2. I probably would have enjoyed it more had I not seen that first.

Agree Hampstead is very lovely. The Holly Bush or the Flask are also nice pubs.

I’ve been watching Ripple which seemed saccharine at first but is actually quite good.

Currently watching The Left-Handed Girl a Taiwan movie shot on an iPhone!

Hope to give this a go next. :grin:

We watched the first two episodes of Ripple last night … it plods along at a nice pace. Thanks @AnnieS

I’ve just found out Ripple isn’t available on Netflix for us yet, should be in near future.

I keep getting emails from Netflix about the latest must-watch, only to find it’s not available here.

I have added it to my list

Over halfway through now. Someone on another forum described it as

“The quality of a made for tv Christmas movie, which is fine for a mindless watch”

and I’m inclined to agree. :laughing:
