If you get Prime,  @AngelPuppy1  see what my suggestions are from a day or so ago.  Put them on as I crochet.

Watching Unlocked on Prime right now.  The actress in it, I've seen in other films.  She's very good, don't know her name. Her name is Noomi Rapace.  born in Sweden.

I finished watching Bloodline a few days ago and am suffering from withdrawal and I don't know why. Weird, I know...I can't seem to move on to another series. Did you experience this?

It wasn't perfect but the character development was excellent. Lots of plot twists too.

I never enjoyed Kyle Chandler much in the past but he was excellent in this as was the actor who played Danny.

I may have to watch it again.

To get an idea what each is about and see how each is rated, you might want to look at IMBD. I added a shortcut to my desk top for this site and I rely on it. Stranger Things has teens in it, so it probably isn't for you. The Night Agent is about spies, so it's out for you. 


I agree with just about everyone of your suggestions.  Esp.. Extraordinary Attorney Woo - love it.  I would add another one

 

Shtisel -- the best way to describe it would be an ultra orthodox Jewish soap opera.  It is filmed in Isreal and Akiva (one of the characters) is just too cute.

I have always been a fan of Kyle Chandler and that's what tempted me to watch Bloodline in the first place, I didn't want it to end.  Glad you enjoyed it.

I can offer a suggestion for what not to watch.  We tried to watch Extraction 2 last night, because we enjoyed the first one, but the violence was so over the top, that I was on edge and my husband couldn't take it either.  We stopped watching in the first 20 minutes or so.

Thanks for doing that.  These suggestions are just as important to know about too.

Thanks for recommending "Bloodline"! 😀 I started watching last night based on your rec and am thoroughly enjoying it.

Will continue tonight. I'm about to start Episode 5 in Season 1.

@SoCal Bred 

Ditto what @sugar plum said!  I started watching Bloodline based on your recommendation.  I was hooked the first 15 minutes in!  I just finished episode 5 of Season 1 myself.  I'm not a binge-watcher, so I average one episode about every other day, although this one has me wanting to watch an episode every night!

Watched Bloodline when it first premiered on Netflix a couple of years ago, it's too bad the series was cancelled, thoroughly enjoyed it too, great cast.

We just watched Above Suspicion, a movie.  It was pretty good.  Love and Death is good too.  Both are based on true stories.
