Netflix recommendations needed.

Posted on 12/18/2013 7:18:35 PM PST by Mountain Mary

Looking for some new mysteries to watch on Netflix or Amazon...preferably Brit, Swede, Danish or otherwise European(better actors)..but could be American if they are decent like Breaking Bad. I posted a request a while ago and many of you great Freeper friends responded with good suggestions. It turned out to be a fun thread.,,,a necessary distraction at this stressful time of year...from all things Obama, libs, Dems, progressives and dysfunctional families?

I love Korean shows. Although often cheesy and apparently often rushed, lol.

Currently I am loving "Two Weeks" about a man accused of murder on the run because he isn't even safe in jail from powerful bad guys. He found out an 8-year old daughter he never knew about needs his marrow in a transfusion to live, so he has to stay alive for her. Oh and cop chasing him is engaged to his ex, the mother of the girl.

Just started Foyle’s War. For British mysteries, it’s hard to beat Midsomer Murders and most of them are on Netflix.

It’s not Danish, Swedish or British, but if you haven’t watched Fringe, strap yourself in for some fun, and try it.

Just finished Firefly. Awesome. Space / cowboy adventure with some good comedy. Perfect cast. Only 14 episodes, though. And the follow-up movie, Serenity.

I watched a mini series called “The Kidnapping’ or “Kidnapped” I forget which. It was really good.

Yeah, I enjoyed Firefly and Serenity. Too bad Firefly didn’t go another season or two.

Brits rule when it comes to tv. Casting can choose among hundreds of top notch actors even for the smallest roles.

The Bletchley Circle miniseries is very good.

The Inspector Lynley Mysteries is refreshing although somewhat predictable.

I love Lilyhammer, especially how they mock the P.C. crowd running Norway. I just finished the second season on Netflix yesterday.

IRIS is considered one of the better action-thriller type series in Korea and had 20 episodes.

49 Days

20 episodes

A woman is hurt in a car crash and goes into a coma. In reality her spirit is thrown out of her body, it's not her time. A reaper tells her she has 49 Days to have 3 people who loved her (not relatives) cry for her. She quickly learns her fiancé and best friend are cheating on her.
