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

I really liked Lilyhammer and still pissed they cancelled it. Annoyed
DH liked it too, I haven't watched it.

Edit: Just broke the news to DH, he didn't know it was canceled. He's been so busy with work, he's only watched season 1 so far.

And we all know 5 spits is near impossible to achieve, so that's pretty damn good.

TIL, The Llama is an award-winning children's author.

Actually typed in Llama in the Netflix search box and there's a kids show called Llama Llama. But it's DVD only. Annoyed

Grace and Frankie is my NF guilty pleasure. Embarrassment

Otherwise I'm all about the documentaries:
The Wolfpack
Best of Enemies
Brothers Keeper
Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry
Muscle Shoals
Finding Vivian Maier

...too many to name them all...

Edit: Oh and "Iris". Can't forget Iris. heart

Yep, Iris is a really good one. It's a Docudrama but is really well done, excellent cast. Haven't watched the other ones on the list.

Oh another good 'documentary' is The Trip, which has one of my favorite UK comedians in it. It started out a a food tour of the UK but the he's so funny I was laughing all the way through it. They did a second season in Italy that has multiple episodes.

Soaked in Bleach - just finished this one. Recounts the events surrounding Cobain's suicide, or is it? Includes real taped conversations with Courtney Love, police officers and forensic experts. Well done and will make you rethink what really happened

Did you know someone set the garage/apartment on fire recently? It was put out pretty fast and there wasn't a lot of damage. They also recently released police photos that hadn't been shown before.

Oh and his childhood home has been up for sale off and on in the last few years. The house hasn't been remolded since he lived in it and the bedroom is exactly as he left it.

In a sick twist, it's actually a horror show. We hook you in the first 10 minutes with fun and happy and shiny, then the chainsaws come out.
