Re: Netflix human recommendations
I'm on series three. It is a bit heartbreaking but I love it.
If your back's against the wall, turn around and write on it.

Re: Netflix human recommendations
I keep having to take breaks from This Is Us.
I can’t remember if it’s free or pay because it’s on Netflix too so I don’t pay for it there, but Grace & Frankie is quite charming in a low-stakes way. I hated TMMM despite wanting to like it.

I watched The Platform a few weeks ago and really rate it if you're (one) is into gory horror.
The 2nd series of After Life is on.

Re: Netflix human recommendations
This absolutely killed me. It wasn't long after I'd fallen in love with a guy who'd lost a leg in Afghanistan by stepping on an IUD and I wound up on the floor sobbing my eyes out. What bravery though!
I've just seen a rather good gentle ghost film called Widow's Walk on Amazon.

Re: Netflix human recommendations
We've just started The Durrells...years behind everyone else but it's easy viewing. I may shout at the entitledness of them all but I love Keeley Hawes
Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either, just fuck off and leave me alone.

Re: Netflix human recommendations
We started Gangs of London last night. It's very violent.
Tons of great reviews online.

Re: Netflix human recommendations
I watched the documentary about Hasidic Jews last night. I found it very upsetting.
We’re going to start Afterlife S2 and I need something a bit more lighthearted as well, but I’m not in the mood for Too Hot To Handle. I’ll have. A look through the thread but in the meantime if anything immediately springs to mind let me know.

Re: Netflix human recommendations
It's not on Netflix but I've absolutely adored Ghosts on iPlayer. I avoided it initially as I disapprove of making fun of the supernatural but it's completely brilliant. I've watched some episodes twice already. It made me realise I need more laughter in my viewing!

Re: Netflix human recommendations
Ghosts is great. I'm intrigued as to why you disapprove?

I enjoyed this too, I got out of the habit of watching it and missed the later ones.bramblerose wrote: ↑Sun Apr 26, 2020 9:39 am We've just started The Durrells...years behind everyone else but it's easy viewing. I may shout at the entitledness of them all but I love Keeley Hawes

I quite fancy Gangs of London too, Duo, although I am not great with violence.

Re: Netflix human recommendations
Because I expect and want to be scared by ghosts, not to laugh. It comes from when my mum gave me The Canterville Ghost when I was small. I was so excited but I took it back to her and complained it hadn't frightened me. Ghosts however has enlightened me.
Perhaps it's fear of disappointment rather than disapproval if I unpick it. For me it's like being invited to a dinner party and having Macdonald's served up on a plate.

Re: Netflix human recommendations
I'm not a fan of gangs and their stories. I've never watched The Godfather for example but this is very lavish and arresting. I read a review where it was likened to GoT in scale. We've only watched the first episode which is feature length.sally maclennane wrote: ↑Sun Apr 26, 2020 11:13 am I quite fancy Gangs of London too, Duo, although I am not great with violence.

I’ve recently started this too, I do love the coziness of it, and agree that Keeley is great.bramblerose wrote: ↑Sun Apr 26, 2020 9:39 am We've just started The Durrells...years behind everyone else but it's easy viewing. I may shout at the entitledness of them all but I love Keeley Hawes

Re: Netflix human recommendations
I started this and really expected to love it, as I have very fond childhood memories of the books and Brian Blessed TV series. But I really disliked all the characters except for Mrs. Durrell, who would have had to have been about 14 when she had her first child Maybe if I rewatched or read the original versions now I'd feel the same way about them too?Hobbes wrote: ↑Sun Apr 26, 2020 11:53 amI’ve recently started this too, I do love the coziness of it, and agree that Keeley is great.bramblerose wrote: ↑Sun Apr 26, 2020 9:39 am We've just started The Durrells...years behind everyone else but it's easy viewing.

Re: Netflix human recommendations
I didn't like the new series at all. I love the Hannah Gordon version and the books still make me roar with laughter.

Re: Netflix human recommendations
Not Netflix, but has anyone been watching Devs on iPlayer? It's a sci-fi thriller type thing and not what I'd usually go for, but I quite liked it.
