Breaking Bad (2008)
Great Drama Series
Breaking bad is an excellent series. Netflix, instead of wasting their money on originals, should license more series like this. Just like Rough Diamonds Breaking bad is an exception to many of the recent Netflix originals. They are authentic, they have no drugs no explicit sex, and no foul language. Queenmaker was another great series with a clean ending; you don't have to wait for season 2. House of Cards, Money Heist, Delhi Crime, Queen's Gambit, Night Agent, and Marcella are good examples of what Netflix should focus on. In the past Netflix licensed excellent TV series like Revenge so that we could watch them without commercials. That was the biggest value proposition for us. Many of the recent originals are pretty bad, full of explicit sex, drugs, foul language with f and mf words. Many have actors who do not belong in the script but are there to satisfy diversity. We love the Korean, Northern European, some other foreign shows.
The Diplomat (2023)
No endind, wait for season 2
Diplomat is good but could have been excellent without the foul language and few actors who do not fit in the script but are there for the sake of diversity. Also, there is no clean ending for season one. That is why I rated it as 1. Typical of Netflix to leave you hanging. Netflix, in its earlier days used to make good movies and drama series. House of Cards is a good example. It also licensed excellent tv series like Revenge so that we could watch them without commercials. Now, Netflix is trying to create originals, most of them are pretty bad full of explicit sex, drugs, and f words. It seems Netflix inserts gay sex in all the shows. Some of the series like Diplomt are worth watching until the last episode. No ending. Netflix wants you to wait for the next season. Very irritating. The The Last Kingdom 2023 Movie is an excellent movie but the gay sex scenes just do not fit. Queenmaker is an exception. I hope Netflix will make more shows like this with a great plot, no explicit sex. Korean, Northern European, some other foreign shows are an exception.
Rough Diamonds (2023)
Excellent Series - Finally!
Rough Diamonds is an exception to many of the recent Netflix originals. It is an excellent series, it is authentic, it has no drugs or explicit sex, and no foul language. Queenmaker was another great series with a clean ending; you don't have to wait for season 2.

Kwinmeikeo (2023)
Excellent Series
Queenmaker is an exception to Netflix Originals. It is a great series with a clean ending; you don't have to wait for season 2. It has no foul language, no f words, no drugs, no explicit sex of any kind. House of Cards, Money heist, Delhi Crime, Queen's Gambit, and Marcella are good examples of what Netflix should focus on. It also licensed excellent tv series like Revenge so that we could watch them without commercials. That was the biggest value proposition for us. Many of the Netflix originals are pretty bad, full of explicit sex, drugs, and f words. The Night Agent is another exception, excellent story, well produced and directed. Many of the originals have actors who do not belong in the script but are there to satisfy diversity. We love the Korean, Northern European, some other foreign shows.
The Night Agent (2023)
Excellent Mystery
Netflix, in its earlier days used to make good movies and drama series. House of Cards is a good example. It also licensed excellent tv series like Revenge so that we could watch them without commercials. That was the biggest value proposition for me.

Chor Nikal Ke Bhaga (2023)
Must Watch
Netflix, in its earlier days used to make good movies and drama series. House of Cards is a good example. It also licensed excellent tv series like Revenge so that we could watch them without commercials. That was the biggest value proposition for me. Now, Netflix is trying to create originals, most of them are pretty bad. Chor Nikal ke Bhaga is an exception, is in english, lot of action, no unnecessary actors, clean and fast paced movie. WWII movies are just plain boring. Many of the originals have actors who do not belong in the script but are there to satisfy diversity. Korean, Northern European, some other foreign shows are an exception.
Le patient (2022)
Boring with unnecessary filler scenes
Thomas wakes up after a 3 year long coma and finds out his whole family is murdered. He then tries to find the truth what happened in this night with the help of a psychiatrist. The story is terrible beacuse it keeps going back and forth so fast that you lose the flow. What kills this movie is the unbearable slow pace and forced gay sex scenes that really do not belong. One of the people in the gay scene is not even alive. Everything takes forever. What I see more and more is that Netflix film makers obviously don´t know the difference between slow burn and simply boring. This movie is so boring that I started to stream forward and my wife fell asleep. The long sequences of going from one place to the other, staring at walls and so on, were just needless and tiring filler material. The gay scene was definitely filler material that netflix seems to be promoting.
The Crown (2016)
Finally an excellent Original Series from Netflix
Outstanding series that tells the story as accurately as it can without unnecessary, irrelevant, scenes that do not belong in the script. There is no foul language, gross sex scenes, and characters that do not fit. Many of the Netflix original shows have are inundated with way too much gay lesbian sex scenes that really do not fit. Nothing against gay and lesbian sex as long it fits in the story and is displayed with some graciousness. Same is true with inserting characters of diverse background just to be socially correct or to pander. There are many series and shows where it makes sense because it all fits. It is very easy to spot forced insertion.
Midnight Mass (2021)
What a Fictional Horror Series
Midnight Mass started out as a 10 but quickly turned into a 1 after 2 episodes. It was very hard for us to rate it as anything other than 1. My wife left the room after the second episode. After the third Episode, I just fast forwarded through rest of it and finished it in 15 minutes. It started as a story of faith, believing in God, recovery, overcoming odds but became a sci-fi horror series, total fiction, full of blood sucking zombies and a mockery of Christian and Catholic religion. It makes fun of Easter and Jesus' rise from the dead; I bet Netflix will never make drama series that insults Judaism and Islam.
Forsvinningen - Lørenskog 31. oktober 2018 (2022)
Missed opportunity - not worth watching
While yhis mini series is based on the real crime story which is still not solved, it is kind of documentary with no ending
As usual in Majority of Netflix originals, there are some scenes that really do not belong but are there to promote LG lifestyle. Some of the actors do not really fit in the script and make it unrealistic.
The series tries yo stick to the information currently known by the journalists and the police but misses the mark.
The criticism of police methods as well as some journalists covering the case makes no sense.
It's worth watching if you like series with no real ending.
I sort of know the case and did not learn anything new.
It is definiyely not binge worthy, you can watch it several days.
Could have been a good good show, opportunity missed.
Maldivas (2022)
Waste of time - Garbage
I cannot believe Netflix produced this series. Had to shut if off after 10 minutes, totally unrealistic, terrible acting and choice of actors. Another disappointing Netflix original. Gone are the days when Netflix used to make decent movies and drama series. Now, most of them are full of socially correct, diverse background actors, LG scenes, foul language, drugs, and smoking. It seems to show up in all the Netflix originals. We often think of canceling our membership but there are enough third party shows, like Heartland, Marcella, Collateral, Disappearnace at Cliffton Hill, and some Netflix originals like Ozark, House of Cards that convince us to stay. Prime is giving Netflix good competition with far better originals.
I Came By (2022)
Good Script with unnecessay fillers
Another disappointing Netflix original. Gone are the days when Netflix used to make decent movies and drama series. Now, most of them are full of socially correct, diverse background actors, LG scenes, foul language, drugs, and smoking. There is definitely an emphasis on LG lifestyle. It seems to show up in all the Netflix originals. "I Came By" has a good script but spoiled by stuff that does not belong in this mystery,
We often think of canceling our membership but there are enough third party shows and movies that convinces us to stay. Yesterday, we saw an old movie, "Collateral", an excellent action movie from 2004. Ozark, Marcella, House of Cards were all good. Heartland, a Canadian TV series, was excellent.
The Village (2013)
Some scenes just don't belong
This was a good series until season 2 and some of the scenes just do not belong but inserted to promote a lifestyle. I expect this from Netflix originals but not from Prime. It could have been a good series but was spoiled by some scenes that did not belong there. Had to fast forward through parts of it. May appeal to limited audiences. There is some good acting and, generally, I like old Britsh movies and series that have Lords vs Commoners. For some reason, Netflix originals, more than 80%, have become dull and boring and all because Netflix wants to be the socially correct and diverse instead of focusing the script. There is a tremendous amount of unnecessary explicit sex, violence , and drug usage even if it does not belong in the script.
London Has Fallen (2016)
Excellent Thriller
Excellent fast paced thriller that keeps you engaged all the time. Great acting, and direction. Gerald Butler and Morgan Freeman carried the show. For some reason, Netflix originals, more than 80%, have become dull and boring and all because Netflix wants to be the socially correct and diverse instead of focusing the script. There is a tremendous amount of unnecessary explicit sex, violence , and drug usage even if it does not belong in the script. Just watched another series, Ludik. It has the same problem. We often think of canceling our membership but there are enough third party shows and movies that convinces us to stay.
Królowa (2022)
Not for me
It could have been a good series but was spoiled by so many scenes that did not belong there. Watched the 4 episodes in less than an hour by fast forwarding through. May appeal to limited audiences. There is some good acting and, generally, I like Polish movies and series.

The Informer (2019)
Excellent Movie worth seeing
The movie has a great script, actors who really fit in the script, good acting, fast paced, very realistic. It has no unnecessary and irelevant sex scenes that you see in Netflix originals. I think Netflix is more imterested in pleasing certain special interests than creating a realistic series/movie.
A Model Family (2022)
It would be so much better w/o irrelevant sex scenes
Episodes 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 are all good and I rated them 9/10. In episode 1.4, after 5 minutes, there is an explicit sex scene that is out of place and inserted there by netflix to make the series more attractive but it does exactly the opposite.
Donde Hubo Fuego (2022)
39 Episodes
Decent plot that drags on to 39 episodes because of too many distractions and tangential stories. The main story is spoiled by way too many irrelevant scenes of sex. This series should be designated LG. The real story is probably 10%, rest does not make sense. Such a waste.
War Room (2015)
Everyone should see this w/o any bias
In this day and age where the studios create movies with too much sex, violence, and drugs, it is good to see a movie like this. Excellent acting, direction, and production. It really does not matter if you are not a Christian or if you are an atheist, you should watch this movie.
