NFT: Recommend a TV Series on Netflix

I would recommend an anime series called Ajin: Demi-Human. It's got only a few season, but it's pretty good. Very different.

Very interesting and original premise. The last scene is great. Check it out and see if it’s to your taste.

I haven't seen season 2 but I really liked the first season. It is like Stranger Things without the comedy, more dark (pun intended), and German, if I remmeber correctly. I think the voices are dubbed over so it can be annoying but I got over it real fast.

Six great seasons.

but be prepared lol, it’s complicated. I watched it in the original German language with subtitles.

if you liked Slumdog Millionaire, particularly how the story was told then you will like this. Completely different story, but fantastic nonetheless.
Sacred Games - ( New Window )

was great. I guess i was late to the game on it.

It's a show about a post WW1 crime family in Birmingham, England

4 seasons so far, with a 5th supposedly to be released this month.

A Canadian comedy. Like Seinfeld, it's a show about nothing. A bunch of quirky characters in rural Canada.

Leftovers

Highly recommend watching it with English subtitles instead of the overdub, which is awful.

Cillian Murphy is terrific.

Narcos has its flaws, but is worth watching.

I thought The Santa Clarita Diet was damned funny, but it IS weird.

was good

This x 3. The 1st and 3rd seasons are outstanding. 2nd was still pretty darn good.

If you're into super hero stuff at all, check out The Umbrella Academy. It's quirky, but a ton of fun.

People rave about Mindhunter. I had trouble getting into it, but I'm going to give it another try.

Season 3 of Narcos was my least favorite.

...if you haven't watched it - SKIP the first episode though - Season 1, episode 1 would make most viewers never watch again, but it's one of my favorite ever series, in the tradition of Twilight Zone, will scramble your egg good!

Also loved Ozark, Bloodline, Lost in Space was cheesy but enjoyable, Better Call Saul is fucking great, OA was good.

Golden era of TV... for decades, I was the 'I don't watch much TV guy' with good reason. Most of it was shit.

Right now, there are literally dozens of great shows available.

Hardest part is often picking one!

I love that factory. What the fuck to they make in there that it belches fire into the street every 15 seconds?

...good casting. strong plot. Seasons 1-2 on NFLX, with Season 3 coming in mid-Fall.
Others have been mentioned already:
Narcos
Peaky Blinders
Better Call Saul - a must if you liked Breaking Bad.

I always wonder that too. I thought it was car parts.

Just dont watch with kids around.

I second this. Great show. Longmire is really good as well. Highway through hell (??) Was also good

It's a good rather than a great show, but Ruth is a great character. The actress playing her (forget her name) does a terrific job.

This show is funny, upbeat, and a good palette cleanser after GoT. 2 seasons on Netflix. It's about Kristen Bell's character, Eleanor, waking up to find herself in the afterlife called "The Good Place", a perfect paradise community run by Ted Dansen's character, Michael. Only problem was Eleanor doesn't deserve to be there. She was an asshole on Earth and she has to figure out how to try to fit into this community of selfless, morally perfect people while hiding her true identity.

I also just finished Parks & Rec. All 7 seasons on Netflix. Pretty funny all the way around. Like most sitcoms, really hits its stride in the later seasons. Plenty of callback jokes. Aubrey Plaza and Chris Pratt are awesome and Ron Swanson is my spirit animal.

We liked End of the Fucking World.

I don't associate Shameless with Netflix, but definitely.

Nervous how they will deal with the departure of two of my favorites.

Shocked no one has mentioned...

2 seasons in so far..quick watch.. incredible acting, incredible story...

One of my 2 favorite shows of all time already, with The Leftovers being the other.

....Maybe its just me...

Also, I forgot to mention Ozark.

Highly recommended!

Leftovers definitely in my top 5 shows ever, possibly higher. I enjoyed the OA. It was just cancelled, however.

...

Narcos
Ozark
Peaky Blinders
Dark: Good sci fi, a little hard to follow, but we've watched it sporadically
Bloodline


Schitt's Creek: My girlfriend and I found it hilarious

That actress was in 'The Americans' and played the teenage girl Philip was using to get information from her military father.

She was AWESOME in Ozark. Seriously evil, that one!

...wife and I watched every episode. Love Katherine O'Hara in that.

Mindhunters, love the intimate interviews of the worlds most notorious serial killers.

someone mentioned it and I had almost forgotten how intense I found this series. Highly recommend it.

Absolutely, she steals the show. Fantastic.

Netflix just cancelled the OA

Bodyguard. Only 6 episodes but very good.

Wu Assassins, Umbrella Academy, New Sabrina, Stranger Things, Sense 8, Black Mirror, 13 Reasons Why, On My Block, Love Death & Robots just to name a few. If you’re into anime I suggest Baki, kenshan ashura, Ultraman, Hunter x Hunter, Godzilla 1,2,3; I’ll list more later

And a completely different character too, so naive and sheltered where Ruth is so, well, ruthless.

I think it's just going to be a miniseries, but I thought it was pretty hilarious. It's a semi-biographical comedy about a guy in Japan who goes from an encyclopedia salesman to a porn director who pushes the limits.

My wife and I enjoy "Grand Designs". They only have a couple seasons available at a time, though. Also, most of the NOVA (PBS) shows.

Might now be your thing but she's in "Dirty John" with Eric Bana and Connie Britton - its based on the podcast that came out a couple years back. First and foremost, Connie is unreal hot but the actress that plays Ruth is in it (Connie Britton's daughter) and shes just as good in it playing a SoCal girl.

lol

It may be good or it may suck balls
