Any recent Netflix favorites?

[RoxMonster]

I just finished watching Sweet Magnolias and am looking for something else to watch solo to wind down after work in the evenings. I've seen a lot of stuff - too much to list out here - but specifically I was wondering if anyone has seen any recent/new Netflix series they have enjoyed? I am definitely a TV person more so than a movie person.

I like scary, funny, cheesy, romantic, dramatic - really anything. I also like docu series.

We are watching Cobra Kai

It’s awesome. Cheesy but deep and really self aware. I love it.

I've been watching Lucifer for the last few weeks, and it's a fun mindless show.

[muppetinma]

Teenage Bounty Hunters!

[cmeon]

Lucifer is really fun- I was happy to see the new episodes and to know that more are coming! It's dumb and clever at the same time, LOL.

My current favorites are on The Boys (season 2 is being released sloooowly) on Prime, and Lovecraft Country on HBO, though.

My H and I have been watching The Worlds Toughest Race which is fun. 10 episodes, each about 45 minutes. It follows the latest wco-challenge race which was held in Fiji.

Ugh I just remembered this is prime not Netflix. Sorry! I’ll leave it here in case anyone else is interested.

Have you watched Virgin River?

ETA: sorry, I just noticed the recent.

I have been watching Dirty John: Betty Broderick.

Where is Dirty John streaming?

We are watching Sugar Rush. We also watched Million Dollar Beach House - there are only 6 of them and we accidentally binged five of them one night.

Another vote for Lucifer. Also Umbrella Academy if you haven't seen it yet

[lilafowler]

I know it’s old but I’m Watching Lilyhammer and loving it!

[rupertpenny]

It isn’t brand new but anyone who is not watching Derry Girls is missing out.

I sort of assume everyone has watched this by now, but YES DERRY GIRLS.

[arehopsveggies]

I’m obsessed with Virgin River right now. I can’t believe it sat on my list for son long and I never tried it till now! I just got the first book from the library but want to finish watching before I start the book

[goldengirlz]

I’m obsessed with the show Sex Education. I watched Season 1 and then immediately watched it again.

I just realized we never finished the new season because I was trying to draw it out. Now I know what we're doing later tonight!

I’m on episode 2 right now. Liking it so far.

[RoxMonster]

I have Prime as well! I think the only show I’ve watched on there is Mrs. Maisel so I forget about it a lot of the time.

[RoxMonster]

Thanks for the recs so far. I have watched Sex Education and Virgin River and enjoyed both. I liked season 1 of Dirty John and didn’t realize season 2 was out! A lot of these others shows I haven’t seen so I will check them out.

The book was TERRIBLE! And nothing like the show. Do not recommend at all. You will dislike Mel even more! I DNF it.

As for shows, if you have prime, we liked Man in the High Castle and Absentia.

Netflix:
Mindhunters- I don’t know if it will ever come back
Lost in Space

We just started umbrella academy, but we’re 3 episodes in and NOTHING HAS HAPPENED! So we may bail on it.

[madringal]

Not for me, but I got my kids into Emily’s Wonderlab. A kids science show hosted by a female scientist AND she’s 9 mo the pregnant the entire series. It’s super cute!

I like the books, but the show was better. The books are totally a light, don't need to think about it, everyone ends up happy read for me.

Stick with umbrella academy. It's worth it.

[al dente]

The Inbetweeners! It’s not new, but I never see it recommended. It’s a british comedy.

I’ve also recently watched Glow Up, Umbrella Academy (just started but good so far), and Catastrophe on Amazon Prime.

[bugandbibs]

It’s Okay not to be Okay
Mr. Sunshine

[Patsy Baloney]

Trinkets is a fun teen drama
I liked Baby-Sitters Club a lot
Never Have I Ever was quite a tear jerker

Ftr - I hated sweet magnolias, so if you super-loved it, we may not have the same taste in TV 😂

If you haven’t watched Flea Bag, that’s a really good one on Amazon Prime. Good Omens is another good one, too.

[acr]

I’ve been binging Away (with Hillary Swank) since it came out yesterday. Very good.

We’ve been watching this for the last 5 hours...OMG. How did I wait a week between episodes prior to streaming??

[loira]

I just finished Baewatch (Parental Guidance) on Netflix but not sure I'd recommend it or call it "good".😂

The Inbetweeners is a must. Also good is Man Down starring Greg Davies, the head teacher from Inbetweeners.

Both shows are totally wrong. Offensive, puerile, disgusting. But funny AF.
