Netflix Suggestions
-
Anyone have any suggestions for a new Netflix show to get into?
Maybe one with the most shirtless men? Hahah
-
Depends on what you're into. I'm a big fan of 'Flaked', if only because I love Will Arnett. I actually didn't like it the first time I watched it, but didn't have anything else to watch after Luke Cage finished, so went back and rewatched it and loved it. It's definitely not a straight up comedy though, I think that's why some people dislike it at first, it's more a funny drama about a guy seeking redemption and trying to move forward with his life.
Oh and since I mentioned it, Luke Cage. Maybe not quite as good as Jessica Jones for plot, but daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayumn! :blind: :cheesy2: :love:

I have heard a lot of good things about Luke Cage so I will definitely give that a try. Thank you!

There are a couple of stand out shows from Netflix I always recommend:
Bojack Horseman- This quirky animated series started strong and just keeps getting better. Season 3 just finished.
Jessica Jones- This was one of the best Marvel shows on the small screen- even better than Daredevil in my opinion, and this is where Luke Cage gets introduced too.
Grace and Frankie- Two women whose husbands divorce them and marry each other. Hijinks folllow. This series has humor and heart- the gays are aging but adorable nonetheless.
Sorry no hot shirtless hunks among these shows- but I really think they make for great binge watching.
-
Everyone raved about Stranger Things. No shirtless guys though.
What's the show with the most amount of male gratuity? I'd be tempted to say Teen Wolf actually.
-
Sens8!!!
Not much nudity in Jessica Jones but it's good. Marvel's Daredevil is pretty good as well.
-
Once upon a time has been a fab show, Up until the latest season.
-
My favorite Netflix show would probably be House of Cards. The show has been teasing the viewers with gay undertones from Kevin Spacey's character throughout the first three seasons, but they've never really delved into it which I think sucks balls.
But if you're looking for a show with 'the most shirtless men', I'd say go for Sense8. That show's demographic is totally you. Lots of eyecandies + a few frontal scenes from the most beautiful cast in recent TV history. What's not to love?
Other Netflix series that you might like if you're just looking for some eyecandy: Daredevil, Hemlock Grove & Marco Polo

if you want shirtless guys (and more) def watch spartacus! I don't know if it is still on netflix but it was a year ago (watched all 3 seasons on netflix)
good tv shows with no shirtless guys… Black Mirror, I totally loved Revenge, daredevil, Sense8, Bloodline first season was good (haven't watched the second)
what kind of shows do you like?
-
Spartacus is definitely still on Netflix, just started watching Season 3 for all of the hunky gladiator swords that are swinging around. :cheers:
-
I would say the first and second season of Penny Dreadful. An absolute masterpiece!
The third season was a big mistake.
-
It has been my experience so far, just about EVERY Netflix produced show has been EXCELLENT (Penny Dreadful was a BBC produced show for SHowtime - and yeah, it was ubber! If Netflix has it, def check it out! And pfffft, if you haven't seen Spartacus - do not pass go, do not collect $200, WATCH it YESTERDAY!!!)
EVen the show's I haven't liked, I can see the show has been well made - and its usually its genre that just kills it for me (like being a cop show is a kiss of death for me).
Sense8 by the Wachowski's Brother's (yes the Matrix guys), great! Hemlock Grove, super! Love, very insightful! If you pay for Netflix and haven't watched Stranger Thing's - why do you have a Netflix sub? (yeah, it might be one of Netflix's very best yet - or at least be well argued as such!). MArco Polo, started a little slow - but its a big train and it it needed a little extra before it hit stride. ALL the Marvel Entertainment show's - best masked superhero shows ever made for the small screen (start with Daredevil, if u like that then go Jessica then Luke!). Master of None - absolutely hilarious. The Crown - Fascinating! Right now I'm watching The Oa, and its been pretty killer so far! The Ranch - first 1/2 hr comedy WITH a laugh track that I've actually laughed and enjoyed in a decade. And of course Black Mirror, is pinnacle stuff. And I KNOW I'm missing a bunch of other shows too!
Trailer's for ALL those shows can be found on YouTube.
Little back story - Black Mirror originally came to us from BBC4 (thats who made the first 2 season's, then Netflix picked iit up and they made season 3). One of the central theme's of the series from the get is that they wanted every episode to revolve around some kind of "upcoming/'just around the corner" technology. So to find out what that might be, they consulted with today's leading/top level futurist's for the most likely and realistic technology's that when you see/hear about it in the show - you'll nod and remark, "OOO, that is 'Right' around the corner"
I've prattled enough, you have some serious TV watching to do - Enjoy!

PS - Once again tho, if you haven't seen Spartacus (no matter WHAT your sex preference OR gender is, you WILL love it!!) Go, go, GO watch it NOW!!!! You can thank us later!!!
PPS Don't know if Netflix gets stuff like this, but you can also look for Deep Water (4 episode cop story, and if your on this web site - you owe it to yourself to watch it), The Missing (kidnapping mystery), Humans (sci-fi), The Transporter (yes, based off the movies of the same name. AND THIS guy actually might be a "transporter", whereas Statham, yes he's dreamy, but the man cannot act his way out of a box), Modus (Swedish 8 episode cop mystery).
PPPS If you CAN, look for Twin Peaks (ABC) and Utopia (Ch4) . Both only 2 season's - but they both have such a fanatical cult following that in 2017 Showtime is bringing EVERYONE back for a 3rd season of Twin Peaks (Been 25 years since season 2 originally aired!). And with a tentative 2018 release date, HBO is in SUPER secret pre-production of a 3rd season of Utopia (I can't explain it, u either "get/love it" or you "hate/don't understand it").
-
I think you will find the first two series of Black Mirror were made for Channel 4 in the UK - an independent free-to-air company with no links to the BBC.

Spartacus is definitely still on Netflix, just started watching Season 3 for all of the hunky gladiator swords that are swinging around. :cheers:
I really enjoyed Spartacus! Thanks for the suggestion!
-
I really liked The OA! There is a hot sex straight sex scene in the first or second episode too.
-
Quantico
No gay sex, just interesting characters and so many twists and turns in a terrorist conspiracy amongst a new group of FBI trainees that you can't stop watching. My friend and I binge watched the entire first season in two days because once we started, we couldn't stop. It's in a similar vein to How To Get Away with Murder and The Killing, with so many pivotal twists that it keeps you guessing up until the very end. The thing I loved about Quantico was the flashback overlay between the current Alex Parrish who wakes up in the middle of a terrorist bombing in the heart of New York City and immediately framed as a terrroist and the past Alex Parrish who starts her new FBI training at Quantico and gets to know her fellow trainees (including all of their dark secrets).

I'm really enjoying One Day at a Time. Normal Lear is a producer. He is in his 90's and still understands exactly what is going on in America. The show deal with social issues like immigration and deportation, single parents, teenage sexuality, multi-generational families, and equal pay for women. I love it.
-
Bojack Horseman or Daredevil. Could only recommend these because they're the only ones I've seen.
-
I really liked Jessica Jones. Hoping there will be a second season soon.
-
Santa Clarita diet was kinda funny. It's pretty bloody. FYI
