Bojack Horseman.

First few episodes are a bit naff, then it suddenly morphs into the best thing on television in years.

Just finished watching the full fourth season now and I honestly think it's the best season yet. Hang the dj is the stand out episode for me

Couldn't be bothered with Metalhead at all. Thought USS Callister and Hang The DJ were both fantastic though. Will watch the final episode tonight. Such a fascinating series.

Funny that. I thought Hang the DJ was the worst episode with USS Callister the best. But TBF I enjoyed them all on some level. Metalhead was full of suspense, but oddly I twigged the twist.

Half way through American Vandal. A beat perfect piss take of the True Crime stuff that seems to be about 3/4 of Netflix output. It's abut a kid expelled for drawing dicks on 28 teacher's cars. It's a very funny, very clever and spot on parody of Making a Murderer and Serial type stuff but annoyingly, because it's so well done and I love those shows and podcasts, I really want to know who did it.

I second the Marvel shows (Daredevil, Jessica Jones and Luke Cage), Bojack Horseman, Sinner, Dear White People and Good Place.

I'd also recommend;

Marvelous Ms Maisel, it's about a female comedian in the 50s who is ahead of her time and gets arrested for being foulmouthed.

Unreal, it's about the producers of a fictional reality dating show who fuck with the heads of the contestants to make the show more entertaining. It was created by someone that actually worked on a dating show and had to do these types of things.

Brain Dead, it's a political satire about space ants who ate the parts of the brain that make people rational in Washington so the left and right politicians become super left and right which drives the government bonkers.

Halt and Catch Fire, a fictional take of the rise of the internet and computers in the 80s and 90's with a lot of it being based loosely on real events.

Glow, a drama about 80s female wrestlers.

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, a sitcom about a kidnap survivor moving to New York. It feels alot like 30 Rock but with a different premise.

13 Reasons Why, a girl tops herself and leaves a recording explaining the events that led up to it.
