Netflix Recommendations

Stranger Things (Netflix Original): I don't usually like horror stuff but this show was excellent, it had that Goonies, ET, X-Files, etc. feel to it. - 4.5

House of Cards
(Netflix Original): One of the best TV shows ever, the cast and story line are excellent. It's very loosely based on a UK political series that was good but this US politics version has taken the show to a whole new level - 5/5

Longmire:
One of my faves, it's a bit wild west, a bit murder mystery. The show centers around a Sheriff in Wyoming who has to balance local politics, crimes and his own inner demons. Excellent show that originally aired on A&E then was picked up by Netflix who added new seasons. They are currently filming season 5. - 5/5

Orange is the New Black
(Netflix Original): Good show, some unevenness in the story lines but the sort of show that draws you into the characters lives. 3.5/5

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
(Netflix Original): Very campy, yet amusing and some good laughs, lot's of cultural references so it might not hold up will over time but it was fun. - 3/5

Dark Matter:
TV show that Netflix has picked up so they won't have all of the seasons yet but it's a good show. We started watching it on TV and have really liked it, sort of a space mystery show, the people on board (spoiler ahead) - 4/5

Master of None (Netflix Original): Based on the life of comedian Aziz Ansari and staring him, it centers around his life in NYC. Funny, weird in a good way and enjoyable. - 3.5/5

Marco Polo is a good Netflix original too.

I heard Narcos is also a good Netflix original about Pablo Escobar.

In general I think Netflix is doing a pretty good job with a bunch of their originals.


Also to bring Prime video into the mix...

I really like The Man in the High Castle

...and Orange seemed to limp into season three and drag for the first half of it.
nod Season three was pretty bland, but they really make up for it with Season four! It was great!

I saw Soso (Kimiko Glenn) from OITNB when we went to see Waitress the musical last month. She had a really good voice in her solo.

If any of you are into Mystery or Detective shows, Netflix has a bunch of my favs available now.

Sherlock
Luther
The Bletchley Circle
Longmire
Inspector Morse (Endeavour, which is about the young Inspector Morse is DVD only Frown it's an excellent show, even better than the original series Morse, which was one of the best detective shows of all time)
Foyle's War
Agatha Christie's Poirot
Fleming: The Man Who Would Be Bond

Does anyone here like documentaries? Netflix has a ton, and I could use some suggestions for particuarly good ones.

'Robin Williams Remembered' was excellent

'Damnation' was really good

If you're a fan of Sherlock (the UK show), then you'll like 'Mark Gatiss: A Study in Sherlock'

'Secrets of Underground London' is really good if you like history or archeology, it's amazing what sort of things are underneath London

If you're interested in the Sinking of the Titanic, then watch 'Titanic's Final Mystery'
