Russian Doll and Umbrella Academy.

I started watching Outlander recently and am still mixed on it. It's Diet Game of Thrones with a splash of Timeline.

I second Russian Doll. It's fantastic.

Dead to Me is good, as is The Crown.

You can also watch old episodes of Parks and Rec and The Office, which I enjoy doing from time to time. Same with Arrested Development.

And if you like goofy comedies, try The I.T. Crowd. It's British, so it's a little different than US comedies but it makes me crack up.

The wife and I have watched the whole Outlander series and it’s good. She’s obsessed with it bc of the love story stuff but it does get pretty good once they make it into America at the beginning of the Revolution.

Narcos

Narcos is really good. If you're an HBONow subscriber, watch Chernobyl.

If you like music, listen to Hawkwind.

It’s not Netflix and it’s only 5 episodes but Chernobyl on HBO is one of the best things I’ve watched in years.

Don't watch Milo Gibson's (Mel's son) movie All the Devil's Men. One of the worst movies I've seen in two years.

Hawkwind - per Lemmy, the greatest band of all time. Also, need to watch some Hawkwind & get an eye full of the erotic, mysterious Stacia.

i second. Great show that’s damn near a straight up documentary.

And The Punisher is good. I forget if it’s prime or Netflix.. but Ozark is very decent.

If you have access to showtime.... Billions is a must watch.

Manhunt: Unabomber

That is a good watch if it is still on Netflix. It seems like Kevin Spacey was a producer and the show just disappeared.

I do not know if it is still on Netflix but that is where I watched it originally.

I realize it's not for everyone, but I second the I.T. Crowd.
Another incredibly funny workplace comedy is Better Off Ted, which is available on Hulu.

Stranger Things is a given!The Frankenstein Chronicles is solid and so is Castlevania.The Hateful 8 and The Founder are well done.Some well done docs are Patient Seventeen,The Ted Bundy tapes,Abducated in Plain Sight.

Netfilx will have to step up it's game even more in the next couple of years since they lose a number of movie hosting contracts.All Disney and Fox movies will be gone later in the year and all Warner Bros movies will be moving to their streaming service next year.

Loved the first two seasons of bloodline but thought the way they ended it was terrible. Seemed way to rushed

F1 - It’s a great behind the scenes look at racing in its purest form.

I can see that. To me, it was less rushed, and more

how quickly everything unraveled for them. Especially Kevin.
