Netflix recommendations

I've watched all of Anne with an E this weekend and I loved it. It's quite a bit darker than the books with flashbacks from her previous care in the orphanage and other family.
 
The 3rd series of The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt has just come up.
I am re-watching the 2nd as I couldn't really remember what happened.

I am still not really sure how I feel about it, I have a feeling that something is off but I can't work out what.
But I also am really drawn to it and can't stop watching.
 
Check out The Keepers. Fascinating. About an almost 50 year old cold case about a nun's murder. An amateur investigation by former pupils of hers. very good. It's a series not a film
 
'3096 days' - dramatisation about natascha kampusch's abduction

then

'natascha kampusch: the whole story' - interview documentary about it

both well good, amazing child actor in the dramatisation :cool:
 
Just finished OA which I can recommend , some of these Netflix series are really very well made , this included . Got a feeling of Sense8 about it , Brit Marling both wrote and appeared as lead in it .
 
Gave Falling Skies a go. Think I might be at ep6. Don't think I'll bother with any more, I just can't bring myself to care about any of the characters or their plight.
 
I'm liking 'Designated Survivor' - Kiefer Sutherland being a bit mellow instead of Jack Bauer. It's a ridiculous premise I know but the suspense is good and do like a deep-state conspiracy tale of an evening. It's a bit like a dumbed down 'Homeland' without a blonde woman overly frowning all the time.

Just finished Colony.

About occupied cities following a family who end up on either side of the occupation. Slow start, bit of a muddled middle, fairly predictable but definitely picks up towards the end, will have a strong start for series 2.

I loved this, total plot, no faffing about with minor character sub-plots. Quite dark in places as well, good. Not too much of the occupiers shown, leaving plenty for the imagination. Can't wait for series 3.
 
Just finished Killjoys S1.Really, really enjoyed it, good story, with good pacing, I liked the main characters, especially that there was no romance between the main two. Think there are another two series of it, but not on netflix.

its so cheesy I bailed.
 
It started well and got steadily worse to the point where my wife and I were watching it in a Mystery Science Theater taking the piss out of it way.

It becomes clear fairly early on that the scriptwriters hadn't really planned things much in advance. Mind you, I watched it to the end.
