I'll try and come up with my top ten...

10) Money Heist
9 ) OA
8 ) Queens Gambit 
7 ) Ozark
6 ) House of Cards
5 ) Mindhunter
4 ) Haunting of Hill House
3 ) The Crown
2 ) Midnight Mass
1 ) Dark

The bottom three could easily be interchanged with a bunch of others not on the list. Seven through three are completely interchangeable. Top two are way ahead of the pack. There are also quite a few that I haven't seen. I skipped comedies, docs and movies, of which there are several goods ones.
 

I tried watching Dark but I really struggled following it.

Yeah, I didn't even include the movies.  There is so much to watch on Netflix, especially if you have never had Netflix.  @Jay could probably binge 6 hours a night, and still not get through everything in a year.

I had problems with it too.  CC helped a lot.  The other issue I had, that Jay won't have, is I watched each season as it came out.  That is one where you would benefit from seeing it all at once.

Some of you guys watch a lot of TV

That's because people get upset when I play with guns and matches.

There is quite a bit going on, and it's in German so it's not for everyone. I dig complexity so this was definitely one for me.

Ok, I've had 2 people i generally trust tell me a new show called Peacemaker is hilarious.

Should I believe them?

I haven’t seen it, but it’s a spin off of a comic book movie, The Suicide Squad.

That's why I'm hesitant to watch it. That know that it's not really my thing, but they seem to think I'll find it entertaining.

Stars John Cena 

That should tell you something

A comic book show/movie (I don't really know which it is), that is getting no nerd chat.  That should tell you something.  Plus it's DC, and they are a trainwreck to begin with.

I'll definitely watch it now. 

Thanks, buddy!

Watched the first two episodes: I laughed a bunch. Good stuff. I didn't realize it but James Gunn writes all of and directs most of the whole thing. It definitely speaks to the dissolving line between theaters and streaming. I guess Guardians 3 will be his last Marvel project.

I get the feeling that I'll have to take notes as I watch.

There are quite a few really good netflix original movies as well. I had almost forgotten a lot of them were netflix exclusive. This is a tougher list to put together than the shows list...

10) The Devil All The Time
10) The Ballad of Buster Scruggs
9 ) Da 5 Bloods
8 ) Im Thinking Of Ending Things
7 ) The Power of the Dog
6 ) The Irishman
5 ) Uncut Gems
4 ) Mank
3 ) The Two Popes
2 ) Annihilation
1 ) Roma

Last second add for Buster Scruggs, lol. After a quick google, there are a few more from some great directors that I've missed.

It's like if cocaine was adapted to film.

I watched an episode last night. It was definitely dumb, but Cena was hilarious.

Pam and Tommy. The first 5 episodes have been enjoyable. They nailed the casting. Sebastian Stan looks like he is having the time of his life playing Tommy Lee.

I just stumbled on a show on Amazon Prime called "From" and watched the first episode. This appears to be in the horror genre and looks like its going to be pretty solid.

Watched a couple of episodes of Secrets of Playboy on A&E. They’re ripping off the bandaid. Hefner, to no one’s surprise, was not just into a ton of sex but also a pretty heavy drug user. There was sex at the mansion five plus nights a week with all kinds of people, friends, playmates, and even pimps who brought in hookers. A lot of debauchery, too. He is being revealed to be quite a pervert and monster who even forced his girlfriend into sex with others. Some pretty awful stuff.

It shouldn't surprise anyone that he was a POS

Watching this series as well lots of sketchy characters at the mansion was a recipe for bad things to happen.

Severance checks all the right boxes for me. The wait for new episodes is painful, though.

Netflix:  Peaky Blinders  Gave this one another shot.  First time through, I stopped after one episode because I couldn't understand what they were saying.  This time through though, I'll call it the David Tennant factor.  After 2 years of watching Tennant and other Brits and Euros, I must be getting used to their speak.  Because Peaky Blinders was a lot easier to understand, even without CC.  Although CC did help.  Interesting story line, although the backstory has my interest peaked a bit more than the blinders.  And by backstory, I mean the political landscape of Britain throughout this series.  Worth the watch, if you can get past the talk.

Interesting. Is this a new show?

[AngelsLakersFan]

I keep almost watching Peakey Blinders on Lou's recommendation... it will happen at some point.

[Lou]

If you haven't watched Pesky Blinders, you should sell your televisions.
