Is there anything fresh, new, worth watching on Netflix?

I like film, movies, motion pictures and can watch all kinds of it including TV shows, series, sitcoms. I travel a lot by plane and usually watch 3 movies in a row.. I am not that picky but it´s been 3 mo already that i open the menu of titles on Netflix and can´t find anything i bare to watch. It´s all derivative of stories, dialogue, photography i have seen before.
It wasn´t like that a couple yrs ago; madmen, fargo and many other brilliant series were available. Now the brilliance seems to be gone.

If you can get Amazon prime, try Counterpart. Two seasons. Very slick.

If you're into food documentaries at all, I enjoyed both "Ugly Delicious" with David Chang and "The Chef Show" (more cooking) with Roy Choi.

I'm currently a few episodes in on Kingdom . If you don't mind subs and enjoy zombies. You'll enjoy this.

So far. Very good.

I won't hype it up though.

I find that there's alot of trash on Netflix (can). So when something like this comes up. It's a great treat.

I’ve been enjoying The English Game, not so much about soccer as class battles, written by Julian Fellowes.

Also definite +1 on Counterpart

Kominsky Method - Alan Arkin and Michael Douglas. Funny.

Watching the Epstein thing now. Don’t watch that unless you want to feel like throwing up every 10 min.

Tales from the Loop on Amazon Prime. Slow, moody and compelling sci fi.

Also, i enjoyed The Bodyguard on Netflix (BBC series). Only 1 season (6 episodes) but may rumoured to have a second season. Well done.

Not sure if you have access to Hulu

But if so Palm Springs is an excellent new flick.

Also you then can stream a lot of tv that’s no longer available on Netflix, like Terriers which might be the single best single season show ever.

Might want to check out (not sure of exact streaming availability)
-Watchmen
-Justified
-Hannibal
-The Boys
-Better Call Saul
-Halt and Catch Fire
-The People vs OJ Simpson
-Legion
-Thief

Great shows. Another food show that was fun to watch was "Somebody Feed Phil".

On Amazon Prime, you may want to check out "Hanna".
