Big Jim Hamilton's Netflix recommendations
By Jim Hamilton
Big Jim Hamilton's Netflix recommendations: With the global pandemic forcing much of the world's population indoors, many of us have been increasing our Netflix intake.
Anyway, here are my Netflix recommendations:
BLACK MIRROR
I've only watched a few.
They're very weird and hopefully not too prophetic. Watch the one with the Prime Minister, called 'The National Anthem'. Some guy kidnaps a member of the royal family and demands that the fictional PM, well, gets jiggy with a pig on live television in order to set them free.
The one with the video game sex is also pretty weird. Like I say, hopefully not too prophetic.
TIGER KING
Definitely a series that will take you away from the boredom and anxiety of normal life right now.
Aside from the treatment of animals - which I hate - the characters and the storyline are both hilarious and captivating. #caroledidit
OZARK, SEASON 3
Dark and gritty with a compelling narrative. I love the drug smuggling, narcos, gangster movies and this is one with an eery twist.
KILLER INSIDE: THE MIND OF AARON HERNANDEZ
Shocking and sad, a docu-series that will leave you wondering what’s true and not. The underlining sub-plot about what repeated concussion does to the human brain make for an at times troubling watch for an ex-contact sport athlete like myself.
The potential long term effects of Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and society's attitudes to professional sportsmen are all under the microscope in this one.
13 REASONS WHY
This teen drama might seem like a strange choice for me. A teacher recommended it as it happens.
It's a very dark tale but also a realistic storyline about an American high school student who take her own life and leaves audiotapes for her classmates.
WATCH: Jack Nowell of England and Exeter, takes on Adam Hastings of Glasgow Warriors and Scotland.

I’d say France was far more hard done by in the 2011 final than the All Blacks in this game. Joubert simply refused to call a penalty against the All Blacks in the last quarter even directing an All Black to drop a ball he picked up in an offside position rather than penalizing him. This article also totally discounts the efforts of PSTD. Ask Jordie how well he played. Or the backup flank who played hooker for the entire game. Siya was also a brilliant tackle by Richie from scoring a blinder. Pollard was also fantastic. Look I don’t like the boks style but the only thing more questionable than the content of this article is the timing of it. Get over it already
