I am burned out on Netflix right now. They have a TON of things that we just don't watch/aren't interested in. We don't watch comedies of any kind, either TV or movies, so...that's out. My husband can't read captions fast enough, with his hearing issues, so some shows are completely out. We don't watch kids' shows, as, no kids. We're not big network TV fans, either.
OH! Have you watched Berlin Babylon? If you haven't, you may want to take that out for a spin. The first episode is kind of wild, in some ways--at one point, you'll wonder, "holy crap, is this a musical?," but somehow, it works. We really liked it, and I would look forward to a second season, if it should happen.
Have fun. I'm reading a novel recommended by Diap, as it happens, and I'm enjoying the crap out of it. (Snake Agent, if you're interested.)

I'll have to give Altered Carbon a go then, I'll report back when I'm done. Babylon Berlin isn't available on our Netflix, but it's available on the US Netflix so I might check it out.
My list on Netflix is huge. But mostly with series and films I need to be in the mood for to be able to enjoy it. I've got a bunch of non-English series and films, but I know those will take more concentration to watch than an English language series or film. I can't deal with that during the busy time of year, when I'm tired at night and I only want to watch something relatively easy. The busy season is winding down, so I'll try to fit some of those series in, too.
I really enjoyed the first season of Designated Survivor last summer, they are now releasing season two one episode a week and I'm waiting until they've all be released so I can binge.
Snake Agent is on top of my "which new series to try" list after reading several recommendations. But I first have to finish a currently active series before I can start a new series. Several of my active series are nearing the up to date status, so it won't be long before I can start that read. Hopefully this month.
