What’s a show on Netflix you just couldn’t stop watching?
Looking to binge a new show. Open to all genres. It doesn’t have to be a new show but I’m just looking to find one that I really can’t get enough of. Thanks :)
The first season of Altered Carbon is incredible. Season two is good, but doesn’t capture the spirit of the first.
The books are pretty sweet too
Indeed.
They're fun, but the author could certainly have more well-rounded descriptions of the female characters instead of "she had nice jugs and she was a lawyer"
Bro was horny.
Dark
You have to binge watch it just to keep track of what the hell is going on.
You sure do.
Really great show. I have a hard time describing it with ruining the show, but it's basically about a small town in Germany, where people basically grew up together. It follows the drama between them all, and how their actions reverberate throughout their history together. It gets hard tracking people because it shows a lot of people at different ages, so it compounds the number of faces you need to recall.the show I think is very good about clarifying by the end of an episode, I think. Don't read about it online because there's a lot to learn organically.
In the original German.
Ist alles in ordnum?
Sadly, this is one that must be watched in German. The English dubbing is absolutely terrible.
That show is aptly named. The scenery is dark. The story is dark. The people are dark. EVERYTHING is dark.
Bojack Horseman.
I avoided it for years because I thought it would be a run of the mill "edgy" adult cartoon. My wife was out of town and I was looking for some second screen video while playing video games and checked it out.
I was immediately hooked and had to start over when she got home so we could watch it together.
Trainwrecks and drama
Comedy types
A Man on the Inside to add another Michael Schur show. Not overly comedic like his other shows but still solid.
Man it's a good show. I just watched it the other day, tore right through it. Beautiful show. Michael Schur just knows what works for me.
I got hooked on Arcane.
Omg I finished both the seasons on just 2 days in the weekend, loved it so much
That season 2 episode 2 opening montage about the power vacuum was so good I just watched it on repeat for an hour.
The screen where you try to pick what you’re gonna watch.
The Last Kingdom. Multiple seasons and a movie to finish it all up.
Think this is one of the few shows where I enjoyed the TV series more than the books
I’m not smart enough to even read the books. Those names would mess me up haha
Lucifer
If you haven't watched the Rohl Dahl stuff directed by Wes Anderson, you should. I loved every single one of them.
I only watch netflix shows once a season 3 gets released.
I don't watch netflix shows
Snowpiercer is great. It's not perfect but I really enjoyed it to the end. Some great characters and great scenes.
The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window. We turned it on in the afternoon to check out the first episode and wound up watching the whole thing that day. Only series we didn’t split out over days. It kept us enthralled because we started the show wondering “Wtf is this show?” and never got an answer. It’s not for everyone.
I now fill my wine glass aaaall the way up.
Dungeon Food and 3-Body-Problem got me hooked immediately. Normally I wait before a season is complete, with those I couldn't.
Wild, Wild Country. Docu-series on the Rajneeshis in Oregon during the 70s. My parents lived through the era in Oregon, so that helped draw me in, but it is good nonetheless.
Warriors was fuckin awesome
Teenage Bounty Hunters and it's fucking cancelled. Don't worry, though: We got two seasons of Chicago Party Aunt. That great show we all know and love.
Teenage Bounty Hunters was a such a great show!
Hell yeah it hasn't been said yet!
The Dragon Prince is amazing. If you liked Avatar the Last Airbender, you'll almost certainly like The Dragon Prince. It's written largely by the same crew as AtLA, set in a new twist on the typical fantasy world, rendered in cel-shaded 3D.
The art style in the first season is a little rough around the edges, but there's still a LOT of really really good animation in it. The story and characters are really fun and appropriately dark at times.
This show does not get nearly the amount of love it deserves, which is a shame.
A stupid horror piece called The Watcher.
The voice is done really well, lol. It's not particularly amazing, but if you're looking for scary stories it's alright
Lupin.
I never remember what show is on what service. Also, it wasn't something "I couldn't stop watching" but I think it meets the spirit of the question. You're looking for something to watch. It's a French show dubbed into English, about a charismatic thief. It has Oceans 11 vibes. I liked it. I didn't love it. Either way, it's not a big investment of time. I think it is 3 seasons. Each season is only like 6 shows.
The Good Doctor.
Both The 100 and Manifest. The first season of Manifest is good, and then it gets weird. I binged it just to finish it. But if you only watch the first season and pretend the rest does not exist it is good too.
