Netflix Recommendations Thread 3.0

I can see 8 episodes for season 2.

The Diplomat is a fun watch so far

Only watched episode 1 but thought it was solid, good cast. Celia Imrie in a very small role in that first episode I am guess she will pop up again.

Just finished episode 3 very solid show, one of the better programmes on Netflix recently (their original stuff is let's say, variable in quality)

This is true. Its like netflix know when Im ready to cancel my sub and get their act together pronto.

On ep 4 here now.

I'm sure will be completely unbiased.

Goodness sake, how much are they paying him for that.

Ditto on the Catastrophe recommendation, absolutely brilliant

On the May list, Black Knight sounds interesting

"In a dystopian future devastated by air pollution, the survival of humanity depends on a group of deliverymen known as the Black Knights who navigate the wastelands using unconventional means."

Delighted there is a new season of Black Mirror coming out, I would say at it's best it was my favourite show ever. A short peak however and the last season was not great at all.

Another recommendation for Catastrophe, Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney were hilarious together.

Tour de france unchained coming 8th June

Well that looks awesome 😃
