So, I got a free month of Netflix and I need good suggestions on shows to watch.

So far, I have watched:

Doctor Strange
First few episodes of Voltron: Legendary Defender
V/H/S 2

And my preferences are:

Action
Adventure
Sci-fi
Horror
Comedy

Animated or Live Action are both fine.

The Good Place

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Going far out there from the popular stuff and I can recommend Infini. I enjoyed that movie.

 

[JBourne]

Twin Peaks is on Netflix.

Watch Twin Peaks.

 

[Username1198]

IT crowd is an excellent comedy

 

[PSqueak]

+1 to both Stranger things and Bojack Horseman.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

My two favorites Netflix shows this year have been GLOW and American Vandal. They are both comedies, but dramatic comedies.

 

[Master Of Illusion]

Black Mirror...Black Mirror...

Did I mention Black Mirror?

Twin Peaks is on Netflix.

Watch Twin Peaks.

Can't recommend this as it looks horrible on Netflix (pixellated/macro-blocked to hell). Looks better when watching it On Demand (which is free if you have Showtime).

 

[IdreamofHIME]

I just binge watched The Mist. Don't watch that, it's awful.

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Return

Watch it so we get another season (plus it's outstanding)!

 

[theinternetman]

Mulholland Dr. is the best, watch it and then watch it again.

Just saw Jackie Brown last night and it was really fun. Stellar performances across the board and the way the central heist unfolds will keep you engaged. I'm not much of a Tarantino guy, but this movie is one to watch.

 

[NoblesseOblige]

Mulholland Dr. is the best, watch it and then watch it again.

This. But do it ASAP. I think it's going away next month.

 

[Viewt]

Oh man, so many.

Casting Jonbenet on Netflix is really, really good. It's a true crime-style retelling of her murder, but the interviewees/narrators are all local actors auditioning to be cast in the reenactment segments. It can be oddly funny at times, but it's mostly just a really good look at how national coverage made and makes these tragedies part of the public consciousness.

Icarus is also great. It starts off being about an amateur cyclist who wants to learn how to cheat steroid tests so that he can improve his performance and turns into a real-life spy thriller centering around the chief scientific architect of the Russian athletic doping scandal.

Oh! And Into the Inferno, Werner Herzog's documentary about volcanos. There's something hypnotic about watching lava. I was entranced.

Don't sleep on Netflix docs. They have a lot of good ones.

 

[Milchjon]

American Vandal
Archer
Master of None

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

BoJack Horseman.

 

[Rvaan]

Leverage

 

[RoadHazard]

Strangers Things should be a must.

Watch this before you do anything else. So damn good.

EDIT:

Black Mirror...Black Mirror...

Did I mention Black Mirror?

This is also mandatory.

 

[DizzyCaffeine]

Spend 30 min scrolling through categories and then settle on an episode of Frasier.

 

[disappeared]

Twin Peaks is on Netflix.

Watch Twin Peaks.

Of course it's not in Canada. :/

[fushi]

This Korean series called Stranger is something I stumbled upon by accident and is one of the most gripping and tightly written things I have seen in a long while.

 

[Infinite_Daremo]

I hear Iron Fist is pretty good

 

[RoadHazard]

No mentions of Atypical. I really enjoyed that.

 

[black070]

[Deleted member 98878]

The Expanse

One of the best Sci-fi shows out there.

 

[Raptomex]

The lack of any Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt posts is saddening. You mentioned comedy. Watch The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.

 

[sixteen-bit]

I recently saw American Vandal and really enjoyed it

 

[Syriel]

The Expanse

One of the best Sci-fi shows out there.

OP needs to state his/her region before you go making recommendations like that.

Because someone in the US is going to be disappointed when you tell them The Expanse on on Netflix.

 

[MikeyB]

Black Mirror for sure. S1E1 isn't the best starting point though. Each episode is standalone, so you can start anywhere. If you are going to try one: History of You, Most Hated in the Nation, Men Against Fire, White Christmas, and San Junepeiro are awesome.

Ozark is good.

Narcos is better, but season 3 is the best by far.

I really liked the Dirk Gently series and the film I Don't Want to Live in This World Anymore. But they are not universally loved.

There are a lot of good Netflix standup specials.

 

[blanchot]

Hannibal, the tv show.

 

[finalflame]

Now I need to go find this elsewhere, because it sounds absolutely fucking awesome.

Edit: Crisis averted -- Amazon Video has it, free if you're a Prime sub!

[More_Badass]

Gomorrah for a great crime thriller show

 

[Stabby McSter]

bojack horseman

 

[Syriel]

It is.

The Expanse is quality sci-fi. Hands down.

Season 1 was great. Haven't jumped in to Season 2 yet, but looking forward to it.

 

[RoadHazard]

The lack of any Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt posts is saddening. You mentioned comedy. Watch The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.

Yes. And Dirk Gently. Awesome sci-fi detective comedy.
