Best original programming on Netflix / Amazon?

Netflix- Living with yourself

Forgot about that one. Also very good.

Besides the popular/obvious ones mentioned, here a few others we have come across (in no certain order):

1. Red Oaks - Amazon - about kids working at a country club in the 80s
2. Love - Netflix
3. Evil Lives Here - Netflix
4. Mindhunter - Netflix - FBI agents starting to look into psychology of murder
5. Bosch - Amazon
6. Californication (old Showtime series but still awesome)- on both i believe

Wife and I started Mindhunter, about done with season 1. Very graphic, but really enjoying it.

The Irishman. Netflix.

Long movie, maybe approaching 4 hours, had to watch in two sittings, but not because it was boring. Just long. De Niro, Pachino, Peschi. Mob movie about the murder of Jimmy Hoffa.

Storyline seems plausible. If you’re not tolerant of violence or F-bombs, avoid this.

If you’re going to watch the movie, don’t click the link yet.

Season 2 of Altered Carbon came out the other day. Haven't checked it out yet as I probably need to rewatch season 1.

Has anyone watched Kim's Convenience? I'm finding it pretty funny

Started the Beastie Boys Story on AppleTV last night. Really good so far, I only made it about halfway through. Hope to finish it tonight.

I am going to post a thread about it, but you guys need to check out "Dark", on Netflix

What we do in the Shadows is really good on Hulu and FX

I was just coming to see if anyone had mentioned this. My daughter has been insisting I watch it. Says it’s really funny.

Space Force on Netflix with Steve Carell. Excellent. Much needed humor in these times.

 

[TPOKE]

Blindly went into The Ranch, sophomoric at times, but pleasantly surprised. Takes a few episodes.

The Queen’s Gambit

It sometimes hilarious, but also pretty bizarre.

The concept of an energy vampire is genius.

I love Steve Carell but couldn’t make it through the first episode. Thought it was awful.

Maybe covered earlier in the thread...

Have any of you watched “Travelers” on Netflix? Sci-fi fans will really like it. It is very well written and the drama is good, so wives of sci-fi fans would probably like it too. 3 seasons and no more upcoming, so you can binge the whole thing.

 

[osutater]

Sound of Metal on Amazon Prime is outstanding. It’s a movie not a series.

 

[Been Jammin]

If you haven't watched Promising Young Woman (movie) on Apple +, you should check it out.

Has anyone watched The Umbrella Academy yet? Given that a 3rd season is in progress on Netflix, I'm surprised there aren't any posts about it yet. That being said, I've had it on our watch list for probably a year now, and only gave it a shot for the first time last night.

So far, I've watched around 3/4ths of the first season and I like it. I don't know how to describe it very well, but the 2 minute Netflix preview does a decent job, other than the fact that the actual story is more complex than the preview lets on.

In any event, I would definitely recommend it, and am curious what others think about it.

Oh umbrella academy is badass. One of the better shows on Netflix. As far as a recent show Shadow and Bone is really good

 

[Marshal Jim Duncan]

Bosch, on Amazon, is an incredibly well done show. Great stories, excellent acting.

 

[TPOKE]

Clive Davis documentary is really good.

 

[Colorado_Poke]

Three Mile Island documentary on Netflix was pretty good. Much different than the HBO series about Chernobyl in the sense that the TMI one was a true documentary and not a historical recreation.

Manti Te'o short documentary was great too. I didn't realize how many years ago that all happened.

 

[Dally1up]

Addams Family spinoff- Wednesday on Netflix is a very good dark comedy mystery series (8) in the nature of Riverdale meets Harry Potter. Casting is real good and the Ortega girl who plays the lead is perfection. Watch it with your fam.

The White Lotus....I don't get the hype. I just finished Season 1 and only finished it because of hearing how great it was. I probably would have quit midway through the 2nd episode otherwise. Is Season 2 better?

It's fine. Not awful. Nothing special either.

 

[Marshal Jim Duncan]

Slow Horses, on Apple, starring Gary Oldman, is the best thing going right now.

We’ve enjoyed Echo3 on Apple

 

[TPOKE]

Shrinking on Apple is really good, comes out every Friday. 3-17 episode was hilarious.

Anyone watch The Night Agent? Any good?

I haven't, but I'm interested in checking it out.

Black Bird on Apple is a helluva good watch.



One of Ray Liotta’s final roles. Really good writing and casting.

 

[osutater]

I don’t know if it’s been said but “Severance” on Apple TV is one of the best shows I’ve watched in a long time. Uniquely bizarre.

We just finished this tonight, thank you for the recommendation. Sad how screwed up some people’s upbringing is. The actor that played Larry Hall was really good.
