    Netflix / Amazon Recommends

    New thread, hopefully ongoing to recommend or discuss Netflix / Amazon Prime series that have come up.

    Just chalked up all 10 episodes of Altered Carbon on Netflix. Basic premise, the soul/mind is transferable and the body a vessel in a Bladerunner type futuristic world. Personally thought it was great and is a recommendation for those who have not seen.

    Also recently finished Shannara which as a Terry Brooks fan was good, but not great, but watchable.

    Any other views, recommendations on an ongoing basis?

          "The Americans" - Cold war/80s story about a couple of KGB spies integrated into American society. Very very good IMO

          "Revenge" - good to start but get's a bit silly later on

          "The Wrong mans"
          - James Corden - I enjoyed it...

              Yes fair point - first two seasons were great.

                Didn't like Altered Carbon considering it had a vast budget, no where near as good The Expanse which I highly recommend. Best scifi show for a long time.

                American Gods with Lovejoy is ok, season 1 ended for season 2 to really do something good

                  Mr Robot was good for season 1 and 2 - loses it a bit in S3

                  Extant was quite good

                  Goliath - enjoyed as well

                    Just finished watching 'Mind Hunter' on Netflix, that is well worth a watch. Waiting for season 2 now.
