I hate to admit it but think Man Down is funny.
It is undoubtedly not for everyone because it is quite silly
and sophomoric, however the characters are funny especially the
star Greg Davies.
I have only watched three episodes so it might become old but
so far it has provided me with some big laughs.
Each episode is 23 minutes.

We just started watching Longmire - good crime-mystery series. I know its been mentioned a few times above.

My 2 favorites of all time on NetFlix:
Breaking Bad (watched it prior to NetFlix actually) - lots of suspense, plot twists, subtle (and not so subtle) humor, etc.
Rectify - originally from the Sundance channel. Different than any other series.

Surprisingly sweet "trashy" viewing: Queer Eye.

Netflix has rebooted Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, lopped off the "straight guy" limitation, and taken it to the South. There's fashion and grooming tips and silliness, yes, but this is actually a show about building self-confidence and developing human connection across all the social barriers that can separate us.

Episode 1: Classic car fan needs help to ask his ex-wife out on a new date.

Episode 2: Semi-professional Nascar tailgater gets out of self-imposed exile in the family's basement.

By episode 3, wherein the Fab 5 help a man prepare to come out to his stepmother, who is his only family after his dad died...I'm not crying, you're crying!

Good, it's been on my list since I read the book, but I haven't been terribly impressed yet. I'll stick with it.

I agree. I enjoyed it. I did think there were too many subplots for a short series.

Peaky Blinders...It's amazing! Period drama in post WWI England with an incredible cast of small-town gangsters looking to make it big.

Starting writing this post only for the last couple months, decided to go back a year. I recently decided to cut down on the number of TV shows I watch. This list is only Netflix for the last year.

Altered Carbon - I don't think this is a great show, but fans of science fiction would probably enjoy it. I have 2 episodes left. I watch with subtitles since otherwise the jargon is difficult for me to follow. This is like a noir dressed up in CGI with some surface-level explorations of themes that are investigated more deeply in movies like Blade Runner. I'd continue watching if there was a second season.

Dark - I think this is overrated. I probably wouldn't watch a second season, since the plot/mystery elements simply don't interest me. There are some great characters and moments; Hannah is fascinating and my favorite scene of the show was probably the play with Martha. However, much of it was a slog to me and I had trouble keeping interest or staying awake.

The End of the F***ing World - I really liked this, and it's over in less than 3 hours. Like Natural Born Killers with more heart to it.

Black Mirror - Season 4 was a little uneven, but I enjoyed it.

Mindhunter - I loved it.

American Vandal - incredible, probably my favorite show I've watched on Netflix.

The Defenders - not very good. I haven't watched The Punisher and might not bother with any of the future seasons of Marvel shows except Jessica Jones, since the other shows were too uneven (Luke Cage) or dipped badly in quality (Daredevil).

Ozark - I thought this was awesome and terrible at the same time. The show is completely ludicrous. I'd watch another season.

GLOW - I loved it.

Orange is the New Black - Season 5 was not very good. I probably won't bother with future seasons.

House of Cards - Season 5 was terrible. I probably won't bother with future seasons.

Master of None - I think this is overrated as a whole, but some individual episodes are very good.

Luke Cage - it was ok, I probably won't continue with another season.

I'm interested in giving this a shot. Looks interesting.

Haven't read in the thread but for those of you who tried watching the first episode of Black Mirror and gave up on it (because of episode 1) -- go back and continue watching. Great anthology!!

Totally agree on black mirror. I could see how 1st episode may turn off some people. It is mostly unrepresentative of the rest of the series.

The last season was good but didn’t enjoy as much as some others. As others last season was very dark.

Watched a couple of episodes of altered carbon. Haven’t felt it yet but I’ll stick with it a while longer.
I've watched the first couple episodes of A. Carbon and I've enjoyed it thus far. I wouldn't be able to admit that I'm 100% following the story line but I'm liking it none the less.
Finished A Carbon. Definitely picked / clarifies up a few epidsodes in. Is it a one season only?
Ha okay so it isn't just me.

I think they just have the one season out right now.

However, the dialogue is stilted and almost amateurish. Certainly not up to the BBC standards for writing. There are many BBC actors, but I believe the series is a big disappointment. Maybe others will view my opinion differently. Babylon Berlin (German language with English subtitles) set in Berlin 1929 to 1934. It is my opinion it is Germany’s answer to the Wire the most famous American TV crime drama. The two leading protagonists are a drug addled police inspector suffering from PTSD from WWI and a part time prostitute who aspires to be a homicide detective because she knows she would be good at it. All the characters compromise their ethics to pursue their goals while on occasion show kindness to less fortunate people. The Weimar Republic has a tenuous grip on the rule of law. Stalinists, Trostkyites, Underworld gangs, milatarists and far right groups are all trying to establish their grip on this Democratic city and country. Some of the police with all their faults are trying to unravel the schemes with competing forces often collaborating with each to cover up their objectives. A first rate drama by a German novelist who is known to be a stickler for authenticity. Highly recommended.

For those having a bit of trouble understanding altered carbon it gets waaaay better the second half of the season. I found myself wanting to watch more some nights but I had to go to bed.

In the first few episodes, Altered Carbon was like American Gods for me. I wasn't sure I liked it, but wanted to know what was going on so I had to keep watching.

My new favorite show on Netflix is a Bravo production called "Imposters". It's about a beautiful scam artist that marries men and women leaving them with nothing after she takes it all. Three of her victims team up to find her but they run out of money because she took it all. They resort to becoming grifters to get money to keep searching for her.
Anyway, I've only watched 4 episodes but I love this show!
Check it out. :thumbsup

An easy binge, as there are only two episodes so far, My Next Guest (Needs no Introduction) with David Letterman.
An informal interview show with Dave and one guest. Barack Obama and George Clooney are the guests on the first two shows.

Looks like there will be one a month.

I have had Netflix for many years, at times I feel I'm not getting my money out it as its not being used, sometime months on end. Netflix has a ton of content, but for me finding the content sometimes is challenge. As an example I'm sure I'm missing old classic movies/shows just because I have no idea what they are.

To help all us fellow Bogleheads get the most bang for our dollars out of Netflix how about we start a Netflix show list.

I'm gonna stretch and bring up a Amazon streaming show: Father Ted (UK, 1995-1998).

Confession: I like silliness and Father Ted is a very silly show -- on the level of Men Behaving Badly, which I also recommend.

Example dialog from the third show (all I've seen so far):
  • Father Ted: That would be quite common you know. The favorite son would become a doctor and then the idiot brother would be sent off to the priesthood.
    [pause while Father Dougal slowly turns that over in his head ... ]
    Father Dougal: Your brother is a doctor isn't he?
    Father Ted: Yes he is.
    [Both are far too dense to draw any conclusions from that.]
Some of the silliness is visual:
  • Scene: Father Ted's sitting room. Bright sunlight is streaming through a window.
    Father Dugal goes to the window to check the weather and we are shown a one-second, or so, black and white video of a raging storm tearing apart palm trees on some tropical beach.

The Stranger aka Bimilui Soop or Hidden Forest on Netflix. Excellent. I have not binge watched this much since The Wire. It is in Korean with subtitles, but well worth the extra effort. The first five minutes are a little cheesy in the way the main protagonist's character is explained, but after that it takes off.

I have not watched Miss Fisher so will add to my list.

For some reason, I did not appreciate Miss Marple. This is odd because I enjoyed the books, although not quite as much as the Poirot books.

It seem Death in Paradise is a couple of seasons behind. I hope Netflix or Amazon will pick up the latest. My favorite character is Dwayne (Danny John-Jules).

Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries is set in Melbourne, Australia in the 1920s. She is an attractive independent-minded young woman. She often works alongside or aggravates Melbourne a police detective who never quite becomes a romantic interest, although you always expect the romance will develop. We enjoyed the series very much.

Getting ready to start Shut Eye. A dark comedy about storefront psychics and the crime syndicate that runs them. Trailer looked good and it's another Hulu original.

Also looking forward to The Looming Towers. It starts on February 28th. Trailer link below.

I signed up for a free one-week trial of Hulu Live in order to watch the Olympic figure skating content on NBCsn. I didn’t want to continue with that ($39.99) so when the trial ended yesterday switched to basic Hulu.

I have Netflix and Prime but the previews for The Looming Towers look good. (Love Jeff Daniels.) In the meantime I’ve been watching Designated Survivor with Kiefer Sutherland.

I gave up on it after 3 episodes. I watch lots of subtitled shows (currently watching Dark and Suburra), but the dialogue for this one would flash on the screen faster than I could read it and take in what was happening.

Sorry to hear that. I watched it on a relatively small screen (Surface Pro) so it was easier to scan the subtitles quickly. Even so, at times I was not fast enough to make it to the end of the sentences. I finished all 16 episodes tonight and may go around again to pick up on what was missed :? Despite lapses in comprehension, for me it was great entertainment and well worth watching.

Babylon Berlin is a German subtitled 16-part series set in 1929 Berlin, a few months before the Wall Street crash and four years before Hitler comes to power. Gritty, but great production values, excellent acting, and superb mysteries with some of the best plotting and writing since Breaking Bad. If you stick with it, the last two episodes will blow you away. The time period is fascinating.

Just saw the first two episodes. I will watch more.

It reminds me of Partners in Crime (aka Tommy and Tuppence) but without Tommy: Plucky young woman decides to be a private detective and outsmarts and/or out-pluckys everyone! I guarantee the writers paid a LOT of attention to Agatha Christie -- who is responsible for Tommy and Tuppence.

Sample (plucky) dialog:
  • [evening, policeman at door...]
    Policeman: You need to come to the station in the morning to explain why you abducted a young child.
    Miss Fisher: I'm sure I'll have a perfectly good explanation by then.

I just started watching "Rita", a Danish comedy/drama (subtitled). IMDB describes it as "Following the life of a very outspoken and rebellious woman, Rita is a school teacher who is competent in the classroom, but seems to need a teacher of her own, when it comes to her personal life." There are 4 seasons, 8 episodes each. I binged on the first season over 2 days -- it's addicting!

On Amazon.Prime
DW and I are hooked on "The Americans".
From Google:
The Americans is an American period drama television series created by Joe Weisberg for the FX television network. Set in the early 1980s during the Cold War, it is the story of Elizabeth (Keri Russell) and Philip Jennings (Matthew Rhys), two Soviet KGB officers posing as an American married couple living in the Northern Virginia suburbs of Washington, D.C., with their children Paige (Holly Taylor) and Henry (Keidrich Sellati). Their neighbor Stan Beeman (Noah Emmerich) is an FBI agent working in counterintelligence.

A bit less "Hollywood" and a bit more closer to what may be reality. Not as sensationalized.
Runs for 6 seasons.
