I've just started a 30day free trial of Netflix. We're not going to keep it as we already have Amazon Prime and (without comparing the pros/cons of the two) we're going to stick with that and can't justify both.
So... what should we watch?
Primarily 'boxsets' and films.
I find it pretty good for documentaries, however, I will be cancelling soon as there's not that much new coming through unless you're into their own series Boxsets.
Dave letterman series is a good one. Very interesting.
Dirty money is also really good.
Stranger Things is the obvious one but I'd also recommend :
Mindhunter
Happy
The Alienist
Godless
Russian Doll
The Sinner
The Good Place
Birdbox
I Am Mother
I'll add to that....
Ozark (s1,2)
Breaking Bad (S1-5, if you haven't seen it already)
Better Call Saul (S1-4, ditto)
Daredevil (s1,2,3)
Punisher (s1,2)
When They Saw Us
Probably loads more TBH.......even watching 24/7, I doubt you'd get through that lot in 30 days! Good Luck!

Stranger Things is a must.
The Crown was very good.
The Assassination of Gianni Versace was good and iconic as a series in a way.
First 2 or 3 series of House of Cards.
Cuba and the Cameraman

F.T.F.A.
Need to multitask - TV + laptop + tablet etc.
I'm getting rid of it soon, I've heard nothing but how good it is but actually my local video shop would have had more films.
Also what's with taking off earlier seasons of shows? What if you come late to the party like me?
The OA
Anthony Bourdain
Breaking bad
I find it way better than prime and often find good movies by not looking at the recommended ones as it often misses some hidden gems. A quick look at newonnetflix.com and I’ll usually find something.
Though people’s tastes obviously differ.
Anthony Bourdain no longer there. Annoying.
I found Power to be addictive. Deffo one of the better Box Sets. Narcos is also another top set, along with Bloodlines,

Power is pretty good alright.
Bloodline starts good but gets tedious.
The marvel stuff is all superb, as is breaking bad.
Defo Ozark!
Someone has forgotten Iron Fist!I loved Daredevil and Punisher but the rest feel a bit hit and miss. I just about limped through series 1 of Jessica Jones but found series 2 unwatchable, and gave up on Luke Cage in series 1.
The Defenders, which brought together all of the above characters bar The Punisher, was exceptional.
Anyway, I can't build on the suggestions offered. I had a great time ploughing through Breaking Bad, Saul, Sons of Anarchy and a couple of others. Currently halfway through Gotham, which for some reason never interested me when it started airing and now I'm hooked.
Probably for the best - binge watching instead of waiting for a weekly installment and endless breaks suits me.
ITs mentioned briefly - I don't do box sets - but this one - well...... I couldn't leave it
Lillehammer is fun... first netflix original made i think.

^^^ had forgotten all about that. Really enjoyed it when we first got Netflix many moons ago.

Thanks all.
I'd forgotten about Breaking Bad - that was one I wanted to watch when it was out first time so I'll start there (and move on to Call Saul).
After that I'll pop back and look at the suggestions above.
You'll do well to watch those in 30 days!
Would recommend The Expanse and Love, Death & Robots
Designated Survivor is ok
Money Heist is good if you can stand the dubbing over Spanish.
Narcos was excellant.
Talking of amazon prime, had an email yesterday to say that as of late September, Sony smart TVs will no longer support the prime TV app and so they've offered us £20 off a Fire Stick with voice control (effectively half price). Quite open to that idea, especially with some of the other benefits that could bring. Question is though, how easy is it to hard wire it into the router via ethernet? This is the only practical way I can see to avoid unsightly wires with a wall mounted unit. I know I could use the TV USB port to power the stick potentially but I feel unit is too close to the wall to be able to fiddle my way around it.
