What's on Netflix

I am watching My Brilliant Career based on the Miles Franklin novel. it is excellent.

Just finished The Survivors set in Tassie and based on Jane Harper’s novel, it was very good too. The scenery is wonderful too.

Enjoying some Nordic Noir, a two hour film called The Secret Woman.

I have to say that I am thinking of shutting my account. It’s not worth the monthly sub.

Apparently it’s easy to close your account, stop paying, then reopen it again up to two years later. They save your viewing history.

I read you can pause for only two months

I don’t think that is true I still get emails from Stan begging me to rejoin. I’d say the worst is a new password

I thoroughly enjoyed watching the Netflix documentary “The greatest night in pop” about the making of the song “We are the World” inspired by Bob Geldof’s Band Aid.
It was a marvellous trip down memory lane for me, great 80s artists altogether, seeing them all in an “ordinary” different way, behind the scenes. Great decade for music! :smiley:

The good thing is that I managed to migrate my netflix sub to my TV package today so it’s now “free” as part of that monthly payment with my internet, although I have adverts, but that is better than shelling out each month when they have no decent new content.

We’ve watched two episodes of this and it’s getting tedious.

Not a Stranger.

Not sure if I have mentioned this before but I have just finished The Four Seasons series. Its a quiet series but I enjoyed it very much.

I don’t like men kissing so I look away but it only happens occasionally. I vaguely remember seeing an Alan Alda film on which it is based.

so someone recommended this as it’s gone a bit viral

I watched this series recently, yes, quite enjoyable, different.

Just started watching Three Body Problem, yet to see how this pans out.

I enjoyed that very much, very clever.

I have been watching East of Eden on Netflix, based on John Steinbeck’s novel.

It was very enjoyable, I haven’t read the novel since I was at school which couldn’t have been that long after it was written. I only remember the Cathy/Kate character because she was the most wicked person I had come across in books until then (including Dickens).

I started watching that too, but then moved to Mayor of Kingstown, which is gritty with distressing themes but addictive nonetheless. It has been great moving to the ad version of netflix because I now don’t pay any extra on top of my internet package and am saving the netflix month subscription fee.

I thought you’d given up Annie!

I’m watching Love Life … not the American one, a British short series from 2012 with bloke from Downton Abbey. It’s funny.

Well now it’s effectively a free service for me it’s a whole lot more appealing :slight_smile:

I’m looking at Love Life next. Also hope they finally have season 3 of the Empress soon.
