Netflix recs?

I'm watching The Office and Person of Interest on Netflix right now. Both very enjoyable.
 
Not Netflix but has anyone watched AMC's A Discovery of Witches yet? The books are probably my number 1 favorite and I'm leery to watch a show butcher the story. Plus, from pictures, the guy they have playing the main vamp doesn't fit the profile.

If you haven't seen the show then skip it for the books and tell me what you think.
 
I'm watching Escape From Dannemora.

I will watch anything with benicio del Toro in it.

What's it like? The imdb description calls it a romance, but then the top user review doesn't make it sound like that.

Oh it's definitely not a romance, not in the conventional sense anyway. It's more of a stalker thriller, with slightly satirical overtones. The male character is a creep, but the show makes him really compelling in spite of that.

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the show, so maybe I’ll have to look into the books.

I'm reading the 8th book in the series at the moment, so far they are running at about 2 books per TV series, I'm wondering what they are going to do with the casting in the next series, it takes place about ten years later, I wonder if Uthred is going to be cast as an older actor and his son Uthred, who joins his father in his warband will be played by Alexander Dreymon.

The book is very good as well. I've been a bit disturbed that I'm slightly attracted to Joe, the stalker. It makes me glad I've quit dating since apparently my taste is questionable.

The book sequel "Hidden Bodies" is what they will base Season 2 on, and I did not like the book anywhere near as much as the first one. But I'll watch anyway.

It is violent and all the things but The Punisher is great. The chose the perfect actor for the part.

Warning, not for kids and those uncomfortable with blood and guts. But it's The Punisher, that should be a given.

Agreed. It's been suprisingly pretty good the first few. I probably wouldnt have given it a shot without a recommendation.

I didn't care for Jon Bernthal in that ****** zombie show but he's perfect for the character in this. Much better acting/directing too.

He is in the second season of Daredevil as well. I really like the dynamic that exists between the two. They go at it pretty hard a couple times.
