OK, I'll bite first.
Before I list a few, I do want to say that gone are the days when explosions, violence, and steamy sex scenes are enough to keep me watching a program when the storyline is predictable and awful. If the producers of the show do not spend the time developing an intriguing and original story with meaningful dialogue, then I won't spend my valuable time watching their trash. I also detest programs that promote an obvious agenda. I have found myself liking programs and movies that are based on true stories or history. A few recent ones that I have found to be very good. The Crown - A series on British royalty that centers around Queen Elizabeth II. The span of time it covers is from WWII to modern days. 13 Reasons Why - A controversial series on a young woman who takes her own life. Probably most people have seen this already though. Alias Grace - This is a mini-series based on a true story of a domestic servant accused and convicted of murdering her employer. This occurred in 1843. Engaging story. Master of None - A very funny comedy series with Aziz Ansari. |

I didn't want to ignore the thread but I don't subscribe to any streaming services. Most programs seem to depress me so I watch very little aside from wildlife and nature documentaries and even that's not often.

Now since I am not going out much for movies, I find series easier to follow. Watch it for half and hour and go back to work - that's what I do now. |

Great idea for a thread!
Some of these are Netflix originals, some are/were on Netflix when I watched them : Narcos The Last Kingdom Nazi Mega Weapons Fleming - The Man Who Would Be Bond Space Race A Young Doctor's Notebook The World's War (highly recommend this one) World War II In Colour The I.T. Crowd Oliver Stone's Untold History Of The United States Our World War Master Of None Ken Burns' The Civil War Marvel's Agents Of Shield Stranger Things Turn: Washington's Spies Daredevil Punisher Edit - I'm assuming we're only talking about series and not including films?

I don't watch much of a new stuff on TV, rather I watch some old stuff I liked in the past regardless of whether I watched them several times so far. Thus I re-watch eg Star Trek TNG and Voyager, Monk, and some documentary perhaps. |

There was one program called "This is Us" which actually had a good story and a clever way of telling it. But after the first season or so, the creativity ran out and became boring. The documentaries and docu-series on Netflix are the things I usually watch, or movies based on a true story. Movies based on best selling novels can be quite good at times. |

The documentaries are often a much better choice than so-called "comedies". |

Last night I watched this on Amazon Video. Tonight I'll watch volume 2!
The description hypes it up quite a bit. I found it interesting but it can be technical and is made from old video and poorly edited. #learning |
