I love Netflix, but it seems like I've watched everything worthwhile.
Here are my recommendations (I am not including well known movies and classics):
Documentary: Making a Murderer. Fascinating series about a man who was charged with a crime, but found not guilty after many years. Shortly after his release, he was charge with the murder of a woman. There is no doubt that the prosecutors and police were bitter about him being acquitted for the previous crime he was acquitted of, as it made them look incompetent. Could they have framed him as an act of revenge? It seems so. Riveting and captivating from start to finish. 5/5
Horror/suspense: Hush A deaf woman in an isolated cabin must use her wits to save herself from a murderer. This was really well directed, and reminds me of that movie Audrey Hepburn was in, where she played a blind woman who had to fend off an attacker. Hush keeps you on the edge of your seat. A great thriller. 4.5/5
Sci Fi: Ex Machina. I was blown away by this movie. If you are a sci fi fan, it may end up being your favorite. Utterly fascinating movie about a nerd who wins a contest in his company to test the latest invention of the company's CEO: an android. Does it pass the turing test? He has to find out. The android is an attractive female named Eva. There are several twists and turns in this riveting movie that raises interesting questions. Beautifully directed. 6/5
Comedy: Meet the Patels Very funny and enjoyable comedy documentary about a young Indian man who is searching for a wife. He decides to follow family tradition and marry a Patel, but that leads to all sorts of absurd revelations about the tradition. Very, very entertaining and funny. 5/5
