[ 2016 - to present ] What is the best movie and or Tv series you have watched on Netflix or Amazon Prime??

For those of us who have visited the Florence region or are European history buffs, here is a Netflix original: Medici: Masters of Florence

I am halfway through Season 1. They are still filming Season 2.

Starring Dustin Hoffman plus a bunch of new stars (Game of Thrones) whom I do not know because I don't watch much TV or movies.

We get Netflix by mail, but we adored A Place to Call Home. Beautiful scenery, costumes, a real soap opera set in Australia. 5*

I watched all of the new show Ozark this weekend on Netflix. Storyline revolves around an investment banker/financial advisor that has been laundering money for a drug cartel. Drug lord finds out that a partner in the firm has stolen from him, but our hero comes up with a plan to recoup the stolen money. He moves his family from Chicago to Lake of the Ozarks and runs into one problem after another. I liked the first two or three episodes, then started to lose interest in the middle, but by the end I was ready to see the next season. All said a pretty good show.

Just watched a four part Australian crime drama called Deep Water on Netflix. It was set in Syndney on Biondi Beach. Quite good and I love being done in one evening! So I'm watching and thinking that the actress playing the lead detective looks sort of familiar. Then I think she reminds me of an actress on a Netflix original series. Hmm, there are so many programs with all the programming outlets available these days that they are often using Brits or Aussies to play Americans. Then she smiled broadly toward the end of the last episode and I was positive it was her. Googled her to confirm. Won't spoil anyone else's guessing game, although her name is clearly in the opening credits but I didn't recognize it.

Just finished 3 seasons of Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries on Netflix. Absolutely wonderful.

I am with you on this one. Friends introduced me to Ms. Fisher awhile ago. I've been binge watching.

I like series where I can watch several episodes
without waiting a week for the next one.

 

[b2bailey]

Death in Paradise because I like palms trees, and Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, well, because I like Miss Fisher.

I had to respond to this -- I don't watch much TV, but friends introduced me to both of the above and they have become my 'go to' shows. I especially like that they are commercial free.

I stumbled upon The OA Sunday when Netflix put it as a "more like this" when I was watching something else semi-science fictiony. I found it very interesting after taking just a bit of time to engage me. The actress, Brit Marling, is also one of the creators of the show. There will apparently be a season two. You know how some shows have a "may be too intense/viewer discretion advised" warning? The situation depicted in the last ten minutes or so of the last episode about did me in. Too close to real life. But a very interesting story premise over all.

Outlander on Starz through Amazon Prime. Loved the books, now loving the show.

We just finished binge watching 10 seasons of Murdoch Mysteries. Seasons 1-7 available on Netflix, Acorn TV has all Seasons 1-10 (we only switched to Acorn in Season 8 when Netflix ran out). We pay Acorn TV through Amazon - $4.99 per month. Absolutely wonderful series. It's Canadian, set at the turn of the 1900. Stories are very clever and ingenious. Season 11 is scheduled to start on Sept 25, 2017. Cannot wait.

The Crown
Breaking Bad
Midsomer Murders
Father Brown

Sure appears that people much prefer Netfix over Amazon Prime's selections.

Season 4 of Blacklist recently dropped on Netflix. I never watched this show on NBC, but I have watched the three seasons that have been on Netflix for some time. Season 4 dropped about a week ago.
James Spader makes this series worth watching.

I am 2 3/4 years into my Netflix subscription. I figured I'd change to Amazon when I was 'finished" with Netflix. So far that hasn't happened. Signed up originally for Breaking Bad and movies, only to discover Netflix has almost no current movies anyone has ever heard of. But their original programming is outstanding, and being able to watch whole seasons of TV shows that I missed is great. I only came into The Walking Dead last season on TV, after piecing some of the storyline together during the marathon of old episodes prior to season 7. Don't know why I didn't think to check to see if it was on Netflix sooner, but eventually stumbled upon it and was able to get caught up.

I loved Ozark on Netflix. Watched it in 4 days. Also enjoyed OA on Netflix.

Precisely my experience as well. Never did I imagine I would stay with Netflix as long as I have.

The only series I have watched on Amazon is Justified. I've watched it twice and would be willing to watch it again.

just started watching this recently, very surprised...such a bizarre show (in a good way!)

We have both Netflix and Prime and we like Prime much more. To each their own but our perception is that Netflix is ok if your into reruns or older movies but we prefer a Prime for original programming. Love Bosch but currently watching Suits.

What is OA?

 

[clifffaith]

What is OA?

The OA is a show about a woman who had a near death experience (NDE) as a little girl. As a young adult she is kidnapped by a scientist who is researching NDE, and she is held with several other people who experienced the same. Story is told in flashback after she has escaped. She calls herself "The OA", which I decided means Original Angel (if it was explained in the show I missed it) because somewhere along the line she decided she was an angel returned to earth. Took me just a bit of time to decide whether I wanted to pursue it or not, but I was hooked midway through the second episode.

 

[FLDVCFamily]

Narcos and Ozark are our current favorites.

Enjoyed binging on 7 series of Doc Martin recently. Had to get the 7th on Acorn TV.

I really liked it but I don't recall picking up on the angel returning to earth. There is nothing religious about the show. How did I miss that? Its been a while since I watched it but I thought it raised more the question of her being abducted by aliens.

I think the angel business came up about midway, I think after she died and returned a second time.

started watching The Newsroom based upon this thread. We never got hooked on West Wing (Aaron Sorkin), but really like this. It's a fast paced drama/comedy.
