Re: Netflix human recommendations
We are halfway through October Faction at the moment and really enjoying it - about a couple who are monster hunters but have to hide it from everyone.
A bit late but I’ve just finished all the iZombie series - such a lovely good natured program with a great Brit in it!

Dublin Murders is brilliant.
I'm having a lovely time watching Mortimer and Whitehouse: Gone Fishing. It's so sweet and gentle.

I find that really relaxing even though I hate fishing!
I watched Red Joan yesterday. I thought some of the acting was a bit ropey but I enjoyed it.

I'm a few episodes into Next in Fashion and enjoying it. It's Project Runway but slightly more polished outfits (so far).

Ooh I want to watch that, thanks for the reminder. Handily Mr S is away quite a lot over the next couple of weeks so I need things I can watch without cheating on him .

I'm really enjoying Cheer but I can't help feeling it is hardly going to prepare them for later life. I feel sorry for them too, they shouldn't be this injured at such a young age. And Gabi's parents are horrors. The poor kid.

Re: Netflix human recommendations
Yes! Gabi’s dad is like a caricature. In fact the mom is too.
The injuries absolutely horrify me. And I can’t understand why they all love Monica on a personal level so much, she seems quite cold and distant. There must be a likeableness to her that I haven’t picked up on.

Absolutely. The number of concussions and at such a young age! For something that will almost certainly give them no career whatsoever.Turtle Bean wrote: ↑Sun Feb 02, 2020 7:51 pm I'm really enjoying Cheer but I can't help feeling it is hardly going to prepare them for later life.

It does seem to keep them focused, though and there is a lot to be said for that, I think.

Re: Netflix human recommendations
I wasn't sure about Cheer at first but was absolutely captivated by the end. Such incredible athletes. I also had misgivings about Monica at first but thought she was pretty inspiring by the end.
I guess loads of kids/young adults pursue sports to a very time consuming level when there isn't much to be 'gained' from it in the end. Probably not so many injuries though!

Gabi's parents were definitely a spoof. Poor kid.

Re: Netflix human recommendations
If you’ve not seen it, try Schitt’s Creek. It’s really good fun.

Re: Netflix human recommendations
I second the Schitt’s Creek recommendation. It starts off a bit manic and overly silly but when it finds its feet it’s cracking comedy and good natured, never cruel about its protagonists or the butt of jokes

Re: Netflix human recommendations
I've tried SC and only got about 6 episodes in but might try and persevere too!
I absolutely adore The Good Place and was devastated it was ending, although completely right. I finally agreed to get T to watch it on Friday and he's now 20 episodes in because the big idiot loves it too, just like I told him he would!

I love Schitt’s Creek, definitely persevere with it.
We are in Ep. 4 of The Stranger and enjoying it.
I also need to catch up on that final episode of the Good Place.

Re: Netflix human recommendations
I tried SC but couldn’t get into it either.
I have one episode of Cheer left. I am enjoying it a lot. They can do amazing things! Though I feel for those kids. Some of them have had awful childhoods. I had a little cry about Morgan and Jerry

I was so sad when the Good Place was ending but the final episode was so perfect.

Re: Netflix human recommendations
I cried so hard through the final episode of The Good Place but it was just right. Sorry I didn’t mean to spoil anything. Apologies.
I didn’t want it to end but equally I didn’t want it to be spoiled by going on past the sweet spot. I will probably start again from the beginning and watch it all again.
I finally finished Travelers [sic] and I wish that it had been picked up for a fourth series with new travellers and a new effort to save the future, but apparently the series was cancelled after season three. Bad decision! Even I could invent a story arc and characters to continue the story.
