^ I don't have a VPN, but I subscribe to Netflix, Prime, Crave (which is particularly good for HBO content). I
I just finished Kleo season/series two last night (on Netflix). A German show that I have enjoyed very much. The second series felt a bit less plot coherent, this was more focused on certain aspects of the characters, but it was fun and I find the show beautiful to look at. I know this is about what you finished watching and at around the same time I made a topic on what you are mot anticipating, but I'll just mention it here before I finally do the things I need to (working from home as I do is both a blessing and a curse as I a great procrastinator). I'm really looking forward to season/series seven of Black Mirror which comes out tomorrow. I have not been this excited for Black Mirror for some years. * note the use of epic music in the trailer implying epicness*

Netflix used to be so good that at one point I had about 40 shows on the go. I needed to take a day off work just to try and catch up. Can I do a top ten Netflix of all time? I'll give a it a go but I've not researched it at all and mostly it's just shows off the top of my head that I enjoyed a lot (hopefully others will post lists as well).
1) Breaking Bad (yep not a very original choice but hey ho) 2) Stranger Things (ditto!) 3) Ozark (intersting crime drama that might be a bit underrated) 4) Schitts Creek (very warm and well developed comedy show) 5) Daredevil (loved this back when Netflix had the rights to Marvel adaptions, the other spin offs were also good) 6) Final Space (enjoyed this animated sci fi show, very original clever writing and excellent visuals) 7) The Expanse (started on Netflix but then later picked up by Amazon after they decided it was presumably too expensive to make) 8) Travellers (another great sci fi show that was canned by Netflix, too much of a patten on this front it seems) 9) Black Mirror (started on Channel 4 in the UK but Netflix picked it up and made it better for sure) X) The Last Kingdon (Viking drama that ran 5 seasons and got better and better) |

^ Well, I love the original Channel 4 runs and started with those before it went to Netflix. Every series/season has at least one episode I really love. I prefer the Channel 4 series/seasons (plus White Christmas) to the latest seasons of Black Mirror on Netflix. "White Bear' from when it was on Chanel 4 is a particular fave of mine, "Shut Up and Dance" of the Netflix run is certainly well up there. And I do love USS Callister... But then I thought the debut with the PM and the sow was not only audacious but extremely good, which many don't, and that's what got me hooked on watching Black Mirror as I did watch it in order of episode. I also love Bandersnatch (the interactive Black Mirror movie) which I have seen many criticise.
My list got too long, I tried for what are all considered to be Netflix originals. I got into mnay other things on Netflix, such as the anime Death Note which is not a Netflix produced series. Dark is a particular favourite of mine. I listed the languages... With Midnight Mass I caught some of the filming. The order is not really fixed at all, but I knew Dark would be at the top. Dark (German) Black Mirror (English) Midnight Mass (English) Squid Game (Korean) Stranger Things (English) Kingdom (Korean) Katla (Icelandic) 1899 (various) The Haunting of Hill House (English) the Haunting of Bly Manor (English) Ad Vitam (French) The Fall of the House of Usher (English) Money Heist (Spanish) The Rain (Danish) Kaos (English) Alice in Borderland (Japanese) Kleo (German) The Forest (French) Three Body Problem (English mostly) 1983 (Polish) The Chestnut Man (Danish) Post Mortem: No One Dies in Skarnes (Norwegian) Omniscieent (Portuguese) Copenhagen Cowboy (Danish) Ratched (English) The End of the F***ing World (English) Crazyhead (English) The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance (English) All the Light we Cannot See (maybe not a Netflix original) Brand New Cherry Flavour (English) Deadwind (Finnish) Lunatics (English) Cunk on Earth (English) The Midnight Club (English) Osmosois (French) On Children (Mandarin) The Girl in the Mirror (Spanish) Woman of the Dead (German) The Sandman (English) The 8 Show (Korean) And Wild Wild Country is terrific documentary series and love the reality game series Squid Game: The Challenge Anyway, Dark is brilliant, been surprised how many people I have spoken to and watch Netflix don't know it. Maybe for some because it's German. I love watching with subtitles. Edited by Logan - April 10 2025 at 01:06 |

Finished the Van der Valk reboot, a very enjoyable crime procedural shot in beautiful Amsterdam with Marc Warren, Maimie McCoy, Darrell D'Silva, and Emma Fielding leading a close-knit group of detectives.
Starting The Blacklist, looking forward to it. |

Thanks for the list Greg. Midnight Mass and The Haunting Of Hill House were great, certainly well up there for the best 'one offs' ever. The scene with the sisters when they get out of the car (HOHH) is incredibly emotional. Some very fine acting going on that should be the norm for horror but often isn't. I also loved the Korean series Kingdom and other 'one offs' Brand New Cherry Flavour and Katla. I tried the Dark but couldn't follow all the back and forth between younger and older versions of characters. Having a similar problem with Yellowjackets at the moment although that is still quite 'fun' psycho women gone rogue in the wild type stuff.

Doctor Who is back this weekend but seems that the BBC is going to put it on semi permanent hiatus after this latest series airs. It's been dogged with falling ratings amid accuations of being too preachy and pandering to 'woke' culture (a trend that is also killing Marvel it seems). Apparently Ncuti Gatwa is reluctant to do any more for fear that it could damage his future career prospects and has moved to America to pursue film roles. Very sad for a show that was the very cutting edge of sci-fi and could boost serious great actors such as Christopher Eccelstone, Matt Smith and David Tennant in it's main role. I like the latest doctor although it's always in danger of being too 'camp' I'm afraid to say. Will probably watch it anyway.
