The Mock Turtle

As their 'because you watched' algorithms seem a bit dodgy, and I've kind of run out of things to watch, I thought it would be good to have a new thread where we can share our opinions.

I don't have anything else like Amazon or Sky so if you'd like to discuss those please start a different thread.

What have you liked? I've just started Lovesick, a British comedy, which is OK but isn't grabbing me too much. If it helps, I don't like costume dramas or sci-fi.

I like a lot of your favourites, and also liked Lovesick.

I would really, really recommend Crazy Ex Girlfriend, which is not at all what it seems like it would be - it's more about subverting rom com tropes in a ridiculous, hilarious way. It has musical numbers but don't let that put you off as it is so funny, smart and well observed.

Not including things on your list I enjoyed:

The Last Kingdom (I'd seen it on the bbc)
iZombie
San Carlita Diet
Daredevil

I plough through the documentaries too.

I've tried Dirk Gently and Van Helsing lately and couldn't get passed the first episode

Thanks, I think the musical numbers thing is what's put me off but I'll give it a whirl!

Have you seen this Kleio http://mashable.com/2017/02/06/netflix- ... extension/ it's a much more useful way of navigating the categories and finding things that you like.

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend is brilliant and the new series of Love begins next week, the 10th I think.

I loved the first series but have given up on the second series which is atrocious. Such a shame as it started so well.

I'm still on series 1 of Crazy Ex Girlfriend but I'm sure you'd love the JAP rap battle.

Oooh. Good thread, Ken. I like your categories. I may add/amend mine when I read everyone elses and remember what I have watched

Things I liked for a bit but lost interest
Kimmy Schmidt (only bothered with a couple of episodes of S2)
Crazy Ex-Girlfirend (S1 was brill, S2 got stupid)
Orphan Black (Loved first couple of series, then got boring)

Things I tried and couldn't get on with
Breaking Bad (I did nearly 3 series but it just seemed a bit slow and boring)
Better Call Saul

I enjoyed Lucifer and The Crown but I'm not sure if that is on Amazon or not.

I tried the Santa Clarita diet but didn't apply the three date rule so I may watch another to see if it grabs.

I'm really enjoying Spotless.

Oh, and Love season 2, starts this week.

And House of Cards?

I really enjoyed The OA recently, definitely slightly different, but easy to binge on

Things I've enjoyed
Kimmy Schmidt
How to Get Away With Murder
House of Cards
Crazy Ex Girlfriend
Jessica Jones
Hinterland
The first few episodes of Suits (MrMcLip streaked ahead and he's now on series 6 and I can't face catching up so I'm just jumping back in)
Vexed (saw these on proper TV but have enjoyed a second viewing)

Things I liked for a bit but lost interest
Daredevil (may go back to it)
Bloodline (watched series 1, don't think I can face 2, it's so slow moving)
Spotless (MrMcLip wasn't bothered, I still might be)

Things I tried and couldn't get on with
Narcos

Things I want to watch
Don't Trust the Bitch...

Things I watched all of but didn't enrich my life to a huge extent
Stranger Things

I really loved The Crown and Black Mirror.

The Crown was excellent.

I'm really liking MCEG! I've even enjoyed some of the songs, like the sexy getting ready song.

I think it was a smart move to put that one in the pilot Glad you're enjoying it!

That song was really good, the waxing bit! (I have a friend who has done that and can relate.)

The Detectorists is vastly underrated!

Not Netflix, but All 4, if you liked The Killing:

Blue Eyes
Thicker Than Water
Dicte - Crime Reporter
Case
Acquitted
The Bridge
