What sort of TV programmes do people like watching on Netflix? Genuine question. I don't know what they offer.
What do you think of Television these days

In my opinion it was definitely better from the late 60s when we first got BBC 2 through to 82 with the advent of Channel 4 and then 89 with Sky Channel and sister channels in the old analogue days.
There were less overall channels but it was quite exciting when there was genuinely more programmes to watch.
Unfortunately then with the advent of digital in the late 90s it went silly with loads more channels, but not loads more content.
That's when we got into the situation we're still in where many channels show the same programmes over and over again, in a loop, with the occasional new episode or series added.

I'd also appreciate any replies to that question.

This.
I think TV as an whole is a lot poorer now. One or two gems can still be found, but IMO the majority is rubbish!
Still the occasional gem but overall very poor. It was way better in the 80's and 90's with fewer channels.

Can only speak for myself but dramas such as Bloodline, The Crown, House Of Cards and Narcos. Sci-fi/fantasy like The OA, Stranger Things and Sense8. Marvel/Netflix originals Jessica Jones, Daredevil and Luke Cage and recent movies.
