Is The Good Place actually a Netflix Original, or did they just slap that label on it in the UK because they got it before a TV channel?

In any case, watch it, it's amazing.

She's gotta have it is great

Mindhunter is great

It's an NBC show. Netflix has just been slapping that on a lot of stuff for international markets lately, like the entirety of the CW's lineup.

It's not a show, but I liked the Jim & Andy documentary

Haven't heard of that one

More people should watch A Series of Unfortunate Events.

Mudbound is one of this year's best films. Incredibly human, emotionally intelligent, and bursting with great performances.

Lady Dynamite is a comedy starring Maria Bamford about living with mental illness. There's some meta humour that doesn't entirely work but it's dropped after the first few episodes.

A Series of Unfortunate Events is an excellent adaptation of the source material.

The Crown is one of the best acted shows on TV.

I've heard good things about I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore and I plan on watching that movie tonight most likely.

Dear White People, Narcos, and Alias Grace are worth watching too.
---

I did see Unfortunate Events and forgot to put that in the OP

Lady Dynamite I mostly considered just because I like Maria Bamford's standup

The Crown I'm hesitant of. I know it's super acclaimed but I've also heard it's really intended for people fascinated with English royalty, which had never been so subject I've cared about

IDFAHITWA is a great movie. Not perfect, but definitely enjoyable and worth a watch

okay well what are you doing, watch that bad girl. she also released a stand-up special just before S2 dropped but I haven't watched it.

As a Canadian I admit I have a certain inherent interest in The Royals, but I think this show works without the context of The Royals as a spectacle. It is a fascinating period piece about politically powerful people; the small dramas that extend from star-crossed lovers, or a sense of duty; a study of class and gender circa WW2 England. But also, if features The Royals as a spectacle, painstakingly recreated on a grand stage. I think it is Netflix's best work by far.

Yeah I hate this shit. It's really misleading and false. They should make a distinction between Netflix Original and Netflix Exclusive.

As a Canadian iv been seeing that title slapped on a lot of shit and it's REALLY annoying. Like I used to get really interested when I'd see that Netflix Original logo but now it means nothing. I really put no stock into netflix shows anymore because it's not clear to me what they've actually made.

Yeah, Mindhunter is fantastic.

What Happened to Monday is okay. Not something I'd say is must watch but it's a decent enough sci-fi action thriller kinda film.

F is for Family
---

Mindhunter is really good

Good Place is a good concept but kinda meh... might get better later but didn't grab me in the first episode, I was expecting something like Dead Like Me though

American Vandal is funny but also gets boring/slow like 3 episodes in
---

Idk man I watched 5 episodes of American Vandal yesterday and I'm hooked
