      Take my upvote, you've made my day. It may be overused, but I didn't expect to see 'that' here, of all places.

    Watch Never have I ever, Gotham, Lucifer, Prison Break.
    Also, I am not able to find DeathNote anime. Internet says its on Netflix Australia, does anyone know how to get that anime?

      Japanese dub with english subtitles is free on animelab.com, otherwise with a premium account you can access the english dub. You can get a free 30 day trial of the premium account.

    • bargain shopper on 03/05/2020 - 23:33

      Thanks, I remember enjoyed watching DeathNote back in highschool. Wouldn't mind watching it again as I probably forgot most of the story.

    My favorite show on Netflix is Midnight Diner Tokyo. Collection of short stories.

    • follow on 03/05/2020 - 23:08

      samurai gourmet is a similar show not bad

  • henryph-am on 03/05/2020 - 23:46

    Crazy ex-Girlfriend if you want a musical comedy that actually tackle mental health issues with great character development.

  • p3nf0ld on 04/05/2020 - 00:08

    Movie: Be Here Now (The Andy Whitfield Story), amazing documentary on his struggle with lymphoma and the meaning he found along the way

    Not all of these are on Netflix, but if not you could probably torrent mkvs of them:

    The Man in the High Castle
    American Gods
    The Boys
    El Chapo
    Watchmen
    Daredevil (he's also in "The Defenders")
    Mr Robot

    Westworld
    Escaping Escobar

    Not sure if these are on netflix, but I recommend giving 'The Mentalist' and 'Brooklyn 99' a shot, even if you aren't a big fan of cop shows. House M.D. is also great.

  • toomuchcoffee on 04/05/2020 - 08:52

    The Studio Ghibli movies on Netflix.
    Justified on Amazon Prime (sort of like Ozark)

    I stand corrected if i am wrong,but why has no one put up Schitt's Creek ? That show is a must see.

  • Hunter14 on 04/05/2020 - 11:19

    Prison break is on Netflix now if you haven't seen it. That first season is up there in the greatest season of all time.

    • bargain shopper on 04/05/2020 - 12:05

      I have watched Prison Break, great shows but stop watching after season 3. Agree with first season is the greatest.

    If you like Stranger Things, try: I'm Not OK With This.
    Groundhog Day? Try: Russian Doll
    True crime? The Keepers
    Comedy? Brooklyn Nine Nine, Santa Clarita Diet (takes a few episodes to get into)
    Project Runway? Try: Next in Fashion
    Scifi? Try: Black Mirror
    Supernatural? The Alienist
    Don't mind subtitles? Try: Fauda

  • Levathian on 04/05/2020 - 14:01

    Money Heist season 1 and 2 are great and are made by the Spanish I believe, while 3 and 4 were made by Netflix. s4 is actually quite a bore and poorly written, and this is coming from someone who loves the show.

    Other shows I like include Russian Doll, What/If, Black Mirror and The Sinner.

  • pingualien on 04/05/2020 - 14:07

    the office on amazon prime

  • Whisper Quiet on 04/05/2020 - 14:58

    Get Amazon Prime and watch Sneaky Pete

  • Quantumcat on 04/05/2020 - 15:05

    The 1%

    Fantastic series. Dystopian genre. Kind of similar to hunger games but I like it better. Brazilian, best in original language with subtitles. The American dubbing is a bit meh

    This is almost an ad for Netflix, but I feel like it's required because I've had Netflix for a while and I have N.F.I about what to watch because there's no easy to use browsing system regarding the titles they have on offer at any one time. I basically need to follow their algorithm about 70-80pc of the time.

    Very (profanity) annoying tbh.

    • efem on 04/05/2020 - 16:11

      Try using the Upflix app on your mobile.

  • efem on 04/05/2020 - 16:07

    The Valhalla Murders

  • Marty-69 on 04/05/2020 - 16:09

    Norsemen. Season 1 and 2 are on Netflix and 3 will be released this year.
    They've called it a mix between The Office and Vikings but also a mix of Monty Python and Game of Thrones.

  • pf2 on 04/05/2020 - 16:11

    Lots of good suggestions already, I'm going to have to save this thread!

    A couple I haven't seen anyone mention:
    Locke & Key
    A Series of Unfortunate Events

  • ZippyRoo on 04/05/2020 - 18:27

    If you don't mind foreign language shows, some of the Korean and Chinese ones are quite good.

    • Crash Landing On You (Korean drama)
    • Ashes of Love (Chinese drama, but it's quite long, 60 episodes from memory)

    Another one I'm currently watching is Spanish, El Dragon: Return of a Warrior. There are two seasons, with Season 2 just released not long ago. Total of 82 episodes, at least you won't run out of things to watch for a few weeks.

  • JayM on 04/05/2020 - 18:55

  • havabeer on 05/05/2020 - 10:13

    Not Netflix but if you have Prime, I would add The Looming Tower, Treadstone and Jack Ryan S1 (S2 is pretty avg). Plus free amazon shipping.

    Watch Losers, a doco series - bloody excellent. Everyone I've convinced to watch it hasn't been able to stop.

  • ratman on 05/05/2020 - 16:48

    Too Hot To Handle is also great. Many deep and complex characters, can spend hours thinking about it after each episode.

  • [Deactivated] on 05/05/2020 - 17:00

    nobody has mentioned it that I could see.

    The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story - Television series season (which I watched on Netflix)

    for what its worth my 'go to' shows in period of staying at home more than usual in no particular order (note probably alot of these are not on netflix) but some are on amazon prime.

    Just Shoot Me
    One foot in the grave
    Curb your enthusiasm
    Seinfeld
    The Sopranos
    The Simpsons (approx first half out of the 31 seasons)

  • grimo82 on 05/05/2020 - 17:57

    i watched most the same list and in desperation just got through 'outbanks' on netflix (ive also recently turned to Prime - 'Jack Ryan' very good)

    The trailer doesnt do it justice and boarders on the line of being a little too 'Dawson's Creek' at times + no way any of those actors are 16 but enough twists and content to be enjoyable. Will very likely resonate from anyone from small coastal town.

    The Last Dance - don't even need to be a basketball fan (I am - so maybe bias)… but if you're into sports at all, its definitely a good watch!

  • bluesky on 12/05/2020 - 17:03

    No one has mentioned Bosch on Amazon Prime - a great police detective drama series. The first season was inspired by Michael Connelly's novels City of Bones, Echo Park, and The Concrete Blonde (he is also an executive producer of the show). Interesting characters and plots.

    Seasons 1-5 are available on there, S6 has been released recently overseas, but not on Prime AU yet. I am guessing that like last year, it won't be available until after it is shown on SBS. Sad to hear that Season 7 will be the last season.

    • fLaMePrO on 15/05/2020 - 15:29

      Seconded, really enjoyed the first couple seasons. Heard S3 dropped the ball a bit but will judge for myself.

      • bluesky on 15/05/2020 - 17:43

        I did not watch this when it was aired on SBS, but once I began watching it on Prime, I could not stop until the last available episode. I don't remember thinking at the time (it has been over a year!) that S3 dropped the ball; if anything, I found the characters tended to grow on you more. Besides, there was a twist after S2.

  • arislan on 14/05/2020 - 16:31

    Altered Carbon - sci-fi; season 1 is a murder mystery set in a world that's a cross between blade runner and ghost in the shell. Season 2 is out as well, and there's a prequel, Altered Carbon: resleeved but is an animated movie.
    Lost in space - sci-fi; mini-series up to season 2, season 3 will end
    The victim's game - 1 season end, 8 episodes only; Taiwanese murder mystery, has english subs.
    The Witcher - fantasy based on video game that's based on book played by Superman, currently season 1.

    Mission Impossible fallout - movie, Cruise vs. Superman with mustache, nuff said
    Bright - movie, sci-fi plus fantasy, yes you heard it right it, orcs & elves but in a modern day setting.
    Polar - movie, kinda like John Wick
    John Wick 1 & 2 - movie, Keanu Reeves being a badass.
    Constantine - movie (dated), Keanu Reeves vs angels & demons

  • fLaMePrO on 15/05/2020 - 15:55

    Amazed I haven't seen these mentioned yet, then again I've never heard anyone speak about them!

    Get Shorty and Perpetual Grace.
    Both on Stan.

    Get Shorty is hard to describe, has the absurdity of Fargo with the storyline and characters of Breaking Bad. Throw in your favourite Irish IT guy as the thuggish lead, some kickass drum beats and you got yourself a winner. There's some flaws in that review but I'm just trying to say it's a wild ride.

    I won't describe Perpetual Grace as it's truly one of a kind, I can say that you'll pick up some of the lines to use for yourself and the writing is goddamn brilliant. From the creator of Patriot.

    Check them both out, honestly can't understand how they're not more talked about.
