This thread will be helpful. I just started using Netflix last year and binge-watched Stranger Things. I haven't had time to watch much else. I heard The Expanse is good.

The Expanse is excellent with the story as well as accurate when it comes to physics. I don't know if it's on Netflix since Amazon picked up the series after the Sci-Fi channel dumped it.

Looks like there's a new Dracula series coming. I haven't heard anything about that.

Here's the stuff that I found so far that I would recommend:

Scooby Doo! Mystery Incorporated (cartoon)
Johnny Test (cartoon)
Forbidden Planet
The original Twilight Zone
All the Star Trek series
Ash vs Evil Dead
All the Indiana Jones movies
Dark Matter
MST3K

And here's what I haven't seen but looks interesting:

Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse
Solo
Disenchantment (cartoon)
Please visit RJ's Drive-In. :) And read Trunkards. :) And then there's my Heroes Essays at U of R. :)

Forbidden Planet
The original Twilight Zone <-- I burned through that last year. Loved it.
All the Star Trek series
Ash vs Evil Dead <-- Really great, except each episode is reaching its stride and the end credits roll. IIRC, S2 has the most hilarious and and disgusting episode (same episode and inside three minutes). It takes place in a morgue.
All the Indiana Jones movies
Dark Matter
MST3K

And here's what I haven't seen but looks interesting:

Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse <-- Really good and something I'd like to watch again.
Solo <-- It wasn't bad, per se. Too much back story jammed into one movie.
Disenchantment (cartoon)
Recommendations:
Santa Clarita Diet
GLOW
Lost in Space
Russian Doll
Black Mirror
The IT Crowd
Altered Carbon (Best part is the Hello Kitty backpack :lol:
The Kaminsky Method
Breaking Bad
Better Call Saul
Ozark
Dexter
The Good Place
Glitch
Hell on Wheels
Travelers

I thought that was a given. That show is absolute brilliance like the series Better off Ted. No bullshirt! You'll get that reference :lol:

If anybody wants to watch Solo on Netflix, you better do so soon-- it will be removed by Disney fairly soon and relocated to Disney+. Similarly, all the Star Trek series will soon be moving exclusively to CBS All Access. And there's one episode of Voyager that I've never seen....

I saw the first season, or at least part of it, and then lost track for some reason, but it was really good.
