Trying to find something else to watch on Netflix?

Are you trying to find something else to watch on Netflix? This is me! I’ve done all the usual and recommended shows. I’ve watched so many documentaries too. I am now at the point where I’ve stopped looking through the Netflix catalogue because I’ve seen it, or it doesn’t jump out at me.

Football season is here and in our house that means from Thursday-Monday (ok, probably also the other days of the week too if you include all the talk-shows on footy) the TV is set to a game. I like footy, but I don’t sit a watch a full game ever. I need something I can sink my teeth in to, on my own, away from the gang.

So what do you do when you don’t know what to watch? Ask Facebook! And they delivered! 236 comments later…

Today I’ve put together a list of shows I haven’t seen, and they aren’t the usual ones people recommend. Maybe you haven’t seen these either?

…

The Keepers – The unsolved murder of Cathy Cesnik, a beloved nun and Catholic high school teacher in Baltimore. After disappearing on Nov. 7, 1969, Cesnik’s body was found nearly two months later — but to this day, the killer remains unnamed. In the ’90s, the case returned to the spotlight after one of Cesnik’s former students accused the high school’s chaplain of sexual abuse, and claims that she was taken to Cesnik’s then undiscovered corpse and threatened.

Now exiled — alone except for Brida by his side — he vows to avenge Ragnar’s death and reclaim his homeland. 

…
