What's everyone watching besides Tiger King?

[xmas74]

Hulu just released Parasite. I'm planning on watching it my next day off.

Any suggestions?

[SMC22307]

1. "The Mire." Murder-mystery set in early '80s Poland.

Nice, uplifting story.

[xmas74]

4. Sounds interesting.

When this is all over I plan on taking a vacation. I'll do what everyone is doing now: isolate myself at home, order takeout, maybe bake and read a few books. Definitely catch up on tv.

[SMC22307]

187. Sounds like my game plan...

along with some easy projects around the house and yard. I need paint and would like a couple of shrubs and a pretty ornamental tree but forget it, I'll wait!

[Laffy Kat]

168. OMG, me too!

Are you watching it in Polish or English? The English version bothers me because the subtitles and spoken dialogue don't match up, so I switched to the original Polish. The disadvantage: I have to pay attention and can't do other stuff while watching.

[SMC22307]

186. LOL In Polish! I can't do dubbed.

I sort of make an event of these shows: dim the lights, light a candle, pour a drink, get comfy in the recliner, ignore the phone... no multi-tasking!

Have you watched 'Babylon Berlin'? That is a wild, wild ride!

[Laffy Kat]

190. I haven't watched BB yet, but it's on my list!

[pbmus]

2. Binge watched tiger king about a week ago...

Now binge watching war of the worlds on Amazon...

[muntrv]

3. The Atlanta Child Murder documentary on HBO.

[flibbitygiblets]

5. "Don't fuck with cats"

Next on my list after I finish "The Good Place" (very funny, and surprisingly light for a show about four people who essentially go to hell).

[Phoenix61]

18. I loved "The Good Place"! nt

[Clash City Rocker]

30. "The Good Place" is extraordinarily clever

Great plot twists, and the characters are entertainingly weird.

[murielm99]

33. I thought The Good Place was the most clever show on TV.

I am sorry it ended, but it had to be.

I watched a vampire movie last night. Before that, I watched The Lone Ranger. Some of those shows are seventy years old. Amazing!

[randr]

111. You got me, I'll look it up

thanks

[mcar]

74. The Good Place was sooooo good

I finished it more than a month ago but still find myself laughing as I remember some of the lines.

[smirkymonkey]

129. I found it on Amazon Prime, but it's $2.99 per episode.

Is there someplace I could find it cheaper?

[csziggy]

152. Netflix nt

[LizBeth]

149. I watched like part of the first show. Didn't grab me. I will go back to it and give it another try.

[MoonlitKnight]

158. Fantastic show

A must watch.

[flibbitygiblets]

121. I was hesitant about "Good Place" because I was worried about any religious overtones

...but there are none whatsoever. We're in the middle of Season 3 now.

Danson and Bell are at the top of their acting games. Just when I start to worry the plot will get old, they completely change it up, and a whole new angle plays out. The writing is so sharp and fast, we have to pause it to laugh so we don't miss the next zinger. (Netflix over satellite not so good at rewinding.)

[Bluepinky]

6. I'm watching Ozark, really good.

[mr_lebowski]

13. Just got NF again and Season 2 is what I'm watching now ... it is a very good show ... (nt)

[Bluepinky]

16. Yes, really good, I like Laura Linney and Jason Bateman.

I’m on season 1 and enjoying it a lot.

[sarcasmo]

23. Seasons 1 and 2 yes, season 3 No Thanks.

[kentuck]

47. I thought season 3 was the best of the lot?

They brought in her brother who was a very interesting actor.

[pnwest]

120. He was terrific. Broke my heart.

[USALiberal]

57. Rotten Tomatoes has season 3 as the highest rated. nt

[Zoonart]

60. Almost finished with season three.

I love OZARK. I think it may be the best writing on cable.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

100. I watched season 1 of that show

and liked it. Haven't seen any more of it. I'll probably watch the rest of it eventually. I've been more interested in watching funny shows or sci-fi/fantasy lately.

[Duncan Grant]

153. Another "Ozark" endorsement here.

The writing, acting, cinematography of this show — so many perfect moments. Art.

Having said that, be forewarned; it’s dark. Very freakin’ dark. And probably too close to some realities than I care to believe.

[marlakay]

161. We are on final episode of 3

We love the show. Great actors all of them. Makes me wonder what people who live near there think of it.

[rusty quoin]

7. I'm guessing most of you have seen Godless. I love westerns and I have seen most.

I was really happy with that series. It was done recently.

[Luciferous]

63. I enjoyed that one

[klook]

67. Godless was incredible.

Amazing Jeff Daniels performance, and great writing.

[jmg257]

80. Awesome! I watched it for the 3rd time, with my family this run...love it!

[Raftergirl]

8. I'm watching

The Restaurant on Amazon Prime’s Sundance channel. It’s in Swedish with subtitles. It has an Upstairs/Downstairs theme. Takes place right after WW II ends.

Unorthodox on Netflix was excellent. Only 4 episodes long.

Also, My Brilliant Friend on HBO. Second season started 4 weeks ago. It’s in Italian with subtitles.

[world wide wally]

9. Hell On Wheels

A different kind of western about the building of the Transcontinental Railroad

[ProudMNDemocrat]

104. LOVED that show....

Cullen Bohannon grows on a person.

Common was very good also.

[world wide wally]

118. Great cast,great story

[SixString]

10. Barnaby Jones, The Streets of San Franciso,

The Rockford Files, Police Woman, Vega$, Knots Landing, Dallas.
Anything from the 60's and 70's.

[Clash City Rocker]

32. I wish more of the old shows were streaming

I think the first show I binge watched off a streaming service was Emergency. I was thrilled when Hulu finally picked up M*A*S*H, despite the fact that I’d already seen every episode dozens of times. Many of the shows from that era hold up very well.

[Squinch]

55. Try youtube. They have a lot of them.

[Sneederbunk]

11. McMillion$

[Bleacher Creature]

25. I've been thinking of watching that next. Is it good?

[Sneederbunk]

130. A little drawn out but very good. Well worth watching.

[mr_lebowski]

12. Just got Netflix again for 1st time in a couple years, first order of biz was S3 of Stranger Things

Which I had not yet seen. That lasted 2 nights lol ... such a great show ...

Now I'm on to S2 of Ozark and after that probably S3 but may take a break first to watch something else.

Also watching that Golden Compass show on HBO, and plan to watch S3 of Westworld cause I watched the other 2.

[happybird]

14. I've been watching a couple things

Seasons 4 and 5 of Supernatural and Monty Python’s Flying Circus have been on the past few days as background noise. Been working my way through Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, and plan on watching Bladerunner here in a few minutes. I’ve never seen it before.

[Phoenix61]

20. The original Bladerunner was great.

I couldn’t bring myself to watch the remake.

[robbob]

26. I watched the remake

It was surprisingly disappointing. I mean, I wasn’t expecting it to top the original, but it was just really slow and dry.

[blue neen]

15. Anne with an "E".

On Netflix. It's very good.

[Luciferous]

64. I was disappointed that they cancelled it

[spinbaby]

179. I didn't care for it

I thought “Anne with an E” was rather dreary. It completely lost me when the lady supposedly dying of sepsis attended a garden party.

[blue neen]

180. I know!

That sure is not how sepsis occurs!

I thought the first season was very good, especially the filming and the scenery. It kind of went down hill from there.

[Progressive Law]

17. Better Call Saul

[uponit7771]

27. That's right !! last season of it right ? tia

[meadowlander]

39. I think there's one more after this one

[Tracer]

97. Me too! Rewatching it.

Another good mystery series is "Trapped" -- set in Iceland (in Icelandic! with captions).

[Flaleftist]

19. Ozark

I got halfway into the first episode of Tiger King and gave up.

[robbob]

103. Why did you give up?

Just curious. My whole family is telling me to watch it. I checked out the first 5 minutes and put it away with a “maybe later” attitude. But I got the impression it’s a true crime show about stupid people doing stupid things. No thanks; if I want that I can tune in to the latest WH briefings...

[Flaleftist]

124. It just didn't interest me. I'm not big on reality crime shows.

It's a little too close to an episode of Snapped, not my cup of tea. I do like the Netflix series Dirty Money where they expose crime and corruption by high-profile businessmen and politicians that affects large segments of the population. That's more up my alley.

[Polybius]

21. 90 Day Fianc: Before the 90 Days

Absolutely amazing show.

[sarcasmo]

22. Community is on Netflix now.

[Collimator]

84. Yes! Community!

Funny, creative and an homage to television itself. The most important message: It is okay to be human--which means it is okay to be weird, troubled and occasionally uncharitable. Redemption is possible; but it always helps to have friends.

My favorites are the Law and Order spoof and the Blankets and Pillows War done in Ken Burns' style.

[MustLoveBeagles]

24. I'm been watching

Midsomer Murders, Hart to Hart, Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries and Cadfael. Crime Story, His Girl Friday, Gaslight and Picnic at Hanging Rock are on my bucket list to watch. These are streaming through Roku.

[Clash City Rocker]

34. Good list

Have you ever watched Grantchester? Based on your list, I think you’d like it.

I watched Crime Story when it was first on TV. I came across it again recently on Prime. Very visual and stylish show (as you’d expect from the guy behind Miami Vice).

[MustLoveBeagles]

184. I've never heard of Granchester

I'll have to check it out. I didn't watch Crime Story when it aired. I don't remember why. I read the synopsis for some of the episodes and it looks interesting. I think it had some critical acclaim when it was on.

[Clash City Rocker]

197. Grantchester is streaming on Amazon Prime

Good British detective story, featuring a police officer and a clergyman who solve crimes together. I liked the characters.

Fun fact, before he became the star of Crime Story, Dennis Farina was a real-life cop in Chicago.

[Bluepinky]

137. Love Midsomer Murders, up to season 14

Other excellent British crime dramas are Happy Valley, Broadchurch and Shetland.

[MustLoveBeagles]

185. Thank you for the recommendations

I managed to watch some Broadchurch years ago but didn't keep up with it. I'm addicted to Midsomer. I started watching it back in December. It has a different feel with John Nettles gone but I still enjoy it. I'm up to Season 16 now. Sykes is a scene stealer.

[Mossfern]

28. I'm watching Star Trek

Next Generation - just finished season 1 episode 25
It should take a bit to watch them all.

[ProfessorGAC]

51. Yes, It Should

And they didn't hit their stride until mid season 2! Too many rehashed TOS plots in season 1.
There's a couple of clunkers in season 2, like Time Squared & Parliament, but they get rolling, and by season 3 they were roaring!

[sakabatou]

29. KonoSuba

[Ohio Joe]

31. Justified

I got the whole series on VUDU pretty cheap.

[blitzen]

35. "Confession Killer," the Netflix Docuseries on Henry Lee Lucas, is almost as mind-boggling as...

Tiger King. But it's deadly serious--and a gripping indictment of the staggering levels of corruption in the U.S. Justice system.

[shanti]

36. My Brilliant Friend on HBO

I'm on season 2, it's subtitled. Oh, and definitely watch Parasite, it is a terrific movie.

[mahina]

37. In prime, The Brand New Testament. (Hilarious and wierd)

We’ve got a Netflix forum where I found Justine on Netflix which was great.

I loved The Detectorists. ?netflix?

Actually binged Hill St Blues because it was my Dad’s favorite.

On Netflix, Theo Who Lived. Holy crap.

[SMC22307]

188. I learned about the delightful 'Detectorists' on DU...

and am so glad I gave it a chance. Humor, kindess, history, beautiful countryside, sharp dialogue... so refreshing.

[mahina]

189. Isn't it good?

I’m glad you like it too.

[Clash City Rocker]

38. The wife has us binging Outlander right now

It’s not bad, the dialogue gets a little soap opera-ish for my taste, but there have been many plot twists, and the acting is quite good.

[ARPad95]

43. Has she read the books by Diana Gabaldon? First book in the series, Outlander, published in 1991.

I didn't discover the series until Book 4, Drums of Autumn, in 1997 and realized I needed to start at the beginning with Outlander. The books need to be read to truly appreciate the complex world Diana Gabaldon has created. Of course, the TV series is like a delicious dessert.

[sarisataka]

113. We are doing the same

Reaching the end of the first season probably tonight

[Nevilledog]

126. Just started season 3 of Outlander. Love it.

A couple other fun movies from New Zealand I just watched:

What We Do in the Shadows....... Just a brilliantly funny movie
House Bound - hilarious and full of twists

[Buckeye_Democrat]

40. Not Tiger King.

Cosmos: Possible Worlds
Better Call Saul
Brooklyn Nine-Nine
Westworld
War of the Worlds (EPIX series) — not impressed!

Eager to see Rick and Morty return in May.

Various YouTube science videos.

[yortsed snacilbuper]

41. tinker tailor soldier spy

netflix

[Squinch]

56. So good!

[Codeine]

88. Amazing film.

I liked the old television series but the movie was masterful.

[Coventina]

141. Huge fan of the movie here. Such a great cast, top to bottom.

Fun to see Colin Firth as a bad guy, for a change.

[randr]

112. Watched it last week-excellent

Another le Carre movie I would recommend is The Night Watchman

[AJT]

42. On Netflix I'm binging "You" and "Glitch".

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

101. Yeah, I liked You.

Penn Badgley plays a good stalker. I didn't watch Glitch. I believe that is a remake of Les Revenants and I watched that one. Not sure Les Revenants is still on Netflix. I liked that one.

[ARPad95]

44. If you like James Corden, there's a fun 3-season series on Amazon Prime he co-wrote and starred in

called Gavin & Stacey. Very quirky characters!

[link:https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b007nf70|

[pnwest]

45. Little Fires Everywhere on HULU, War of

the Worlds on EPIX, Tales from the LOOP on Prime.

[ArnoldLayne]

46. The L Word

[Tommy_Carcetti]

48. We've currently discovered Barry on HBO starring Bill Hader.

That's darkly hilarious.

About halfway through Ozark Season 3. Love Julia Garner's (Ruth) acting.

Watching The Plot Against America as episodes air. Very good, but a little too close to current reality. Also watching Better Call Saul's most recent season.

Still have yet to watch Tiger King.

[klook]

69. I'm loving "Barry"

Seen the first 3 episodes. It's a little dark for my wife, but i think it's weirdly hilarious. Anything with Stephen Root is worth checking out.

[Codeine]

87. I'm watching Barry with my daughter.

She’s a huge fan of Bill Hader, and Barry is by far his greatest work.

[tavernier]

49. Binging West Wing.

Pretending it’s real and I live there.

[Alacritous Crier]

54. Yep, me too.

I had never watched that show when it was on. I'm really enjoying it especially in these troubling presidential times.

[tavernier]

61. I watched it or originally but that was years ago.

When you see how professional and organized everyone is in the White House, it really points out the stark difference to what is going on in there today.

Enjoy. There are some riveting episodes, and if you haven’t gotten there yet, Lawrence O’Donnell plays President Bartlett’s father.

[Clash City Rocker]

144. If there's a Sorkin universe, I desperately want to live there

I want a president as good as Jed Bartlett, where I can get my news from ACN and watch Sports Night every evening.

[JHB]

50. Rewatching the 2005 Battlestar Galactica series

...although the story arc where the amoral narcissist traitor wins the presidential election and they end up in a prison camp is a bit hard to take these days.

[Codeine]

89. I've considered rewatching that show

but then I remember how bad the last few episodes are and I lose heart.

[JHB]

93. Just watch the earlier stuff and say "Welp, that's a wrap"...

...when it goes sideways.

[Codeine]

95. Not a bad plan.

“Sad that they cancelled this before it could be finished. . .”

[Sugar Smack]

52. "Killing Eve"! Season 3 starts in 3 DAYS.

This is the smartest, most engaging, most surprising thing I have ever seen on TV. It's spoiled me for just about anything else, and it inspired me to do a major art project I'll be working on for this (and the next) pandemic. I had idly clicked on it from boredom and despair, and was humbled.

[Codeine]

96. Some of the best television ever.

Right up there with The Wire and Breaking Bad.

[imaginary girl]

109. Just started that last night ...

And really enjoying it!

[chia]

135. Love, love Killing Eve... Jodie Comer is brilliant, a joy to watch

[SKKY]

53. "Tales from the Loop" was surprisingly good.

[Liberal In Texas]

85. It's like watching a good book. And with music by Phillip Glass - a brilliant series. n/t

[Codeine]

90. It's like a quieter and more thoughtful Stranger Things.

And beautifully filmed.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

102. That is one that I am interesting in watching

Glad to know it is good.

[randr]

114. Reminds me of Twin Peaks meets The Twilight Zone

[ornotna]

181. Yes

I thoroughly enjoyed Tales from the Loop.

[melm00se]

58. A bunch of stuff

Grimm (Amazon Prime)
Leverage (IMDB tv)
Museum Secrets
Danger Man/Secret Agent Man
Sherlock
to name just a few.

[MFM008]

59. Watching

Documentaries on History all night. I think i know more about ancient cicilizations that i did in college.....

And tiger king. No. Never.

[Dem4Life1102]

62. Star Trek Picard

[Luciferous]

65. Just finished Madam Secretary, starting the Mallorca Files on Britbox

It reminds me of Brokenwood or Death in Paradise- it's a mystery show that is a little bit goofy.

[cagefreesoylentgreen]

66. Tales from the Loop

Slow, thoughtful sci-fi, something that’s not as common as it should be.

[marlakay]

162. Just finished that one

Different, like how it went slow.

[Ferrets are Cool]

68. What I always watch...anime.

Better than anything else.

[PCIntern]

70. If you can get a hold of it

An old series entitled”MI5”

86 or so sequential episodes. Remarkable. They do something they don’t repeat in the second episode so don’t get rid of it if you don’t like tgstcsort of thing. Some subscriptions don’t offer the second episode.

It’s a great show!

[klook]

71. Watched all available seasons of "The Expanse" -- very good science fiction epic on Amazon.

I'm eagerly awaiting the next season. It's not perfect, but it's an interesting mix of space opera, political intrigue, future sociology, and well-drawn characters.

A few good ones on Netflix:

"Shetland" is great, too, if anyone hasn't seen it yet.

"River" was fantastic -- best thing I've seen in a long time, with Nicola Walker, Stellan Skarsgard, and Lesley Manville.

I enjoyed "Deadwind" also, a Finnish murder mystery for the Scandinavian Noir fans. "Trapped" (set in Iceland&quot was similar, but much more bleak.

I got tired of, and abandoned, both "Broadchurch" (which left me feeling completely ripped off) and "Marcella" (grim, brutal, and convoluted).

P.S. After reading about "Tiger King," it's on my "Avoid At All Costs" list.

[R B Garr]

72. Amazon Prime has the whole James Bond series, starting

with Sean Connery, of course, but they have the Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan series, along with a couple other guys — some one-offs whose names I don’t remember.

We are watching in order. So far we’ve seen the first four:

Dr. No
From Russia With Love
Goldfinger
Thunderball

Looks like the original 007 Sean Connery will be tough to beat.

We’ve been watching The Crown on Netflix but started that before this whole stay-at-home order, so we go back to that here and there. We slowed on that when the cast changed, but still intend on finishing it. We really are liking it.

[Codeine]

94. Rewatching the old Bond films threw me for a loop.

They’re very. . . rapey.

[R B Garr]

138. Yes, I noticed that, too. nt

[kentuck]

73. Does anybody watch Westworld?

What is your opinion?

[randr]

115. Loved season 1, not sure yet of the new series

[Duncan Grant]

163. If you like this genre, you'll enjoy it.

Tip: Don’t lapse view it. It has a level of complexity that’s hard to follow, if you don’t watch it regularly. Season 3 has been terrific, imho.

[kentuck]

167. I have to watch it twice to keep the story line...

It's easy to forget which character is an AI? And which is the advanced AI?

[Foolacious]

75. What is Tiger King? N/T

[House of Roberts]

78. IDK either, but it appears to be an attempt

to out-stupid Honey Boo Boo.

[Foolacious]

140. Still a foreign language....

I'm guessing that Honey Boo Boo and Tiger King are youtube channels or TV shows. Yes?

[Codeine]

91. Get in the gutter with the rest of us!

Seriously, it sounds awful but it’s compelling and fascinating stuff.

[Moostache]

76. Paint...it dries in an incredibly diverse pattern and costs very little to watch!

LOL...I have been catching up on my love of music and experiencing new and old favorites myself...

[Ponietz]

77. Paddington 2 and Hugo are great!

[Shanti Mama]

79. with the free month on CBS All Access

Am watching The Good Fight. Easy, fun, takes me away from reality, except when they talk about the political situation. I love the characters.

[Dawgman49]

81. Ozark..and Manifest..plot against america

[eShirl]

82. Great Courses Plus on amazon prime

I watched the one on the Black Plague back in February; now I'm about 3/4 through Barbarians of the Steppes.

planning on doing ones on History, Linguistics/languages, Drawing/painting/art history, probably Tai Chi, Biology, the National Geographic bird course... there's so much

[Codeine]

92. Is that an additional channel

or included in the basic Prime service?

[eShirl]

194. additional, BUT alternatively you can get it by itself from Great Courses company

https://www.thegreatcoursesplus.com/

You can easily cancel at any time by visiting the My Account page. If you cancel during the free trial period, you won’t ever be billed.

[Codeine]

195. Thank you.

I was only aware of them through their DVD program years ago. I’ll look into the channel.

[Saviolo]

83. Even in our 40's, hubby and I love our cartoons.

Up here in Canada, Avatar: The Last Airbender is still on Netflix.

Other cartoons worth a watch are the new Netflix She-Ra, which is extremely entertaining. I enjoyed The Dragon Prince, as well. Great character design and a fun world with some surprising depth and some great visual gags.

Beastars was a lot of fun as well. It's a high school drama anime, but all of the characters are animal people. Think Zootopia with sex and violence. The main protagonist is an awkward grey wolf who has a deep angst about his own carnivorous desires in a world where carnivores and herbivores are trying to live together somewhat harmoniously.

Not a cartoon, but I've also been rewatching House, MD on Amazon, because Hugh Laurie is a joy and honestly pretty much everyone on that show puts in a solid and entertaining performance. The medical mysteries are fun, too.

[rzemanfl]

86. The grass grow in my yard. Fingernails, hair and beard indoors. n/t

[Codeine]

98. Watching two adolescent children

squabble literally every waking moment. It’s like the Itchy and Scratchy Show, but I can’t turn it off!

[xmas74]

122. I have only one child.

She's an "essential worker" at her fast food job. I only see her in passing. Sometimes I hear her arguing with her brother the cat.

[Codeine]

131. My cat only argues about how recently he's eaten.

“I’ve never been fed, ever, in all of history” seems to be his go-to thesis.

[xmas74]

175. That's a common one

Mine also argues about how he needs belly ribs but only 3 or he will bite.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

99. Been re-watching West World

with the family. Already re-watched season one. Working on season 2. Season 3 is the new season that is currently being released every Sunday.

Other things we were planning on re-watching eventually: Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones

Been watching a lot of old SNL episodes.

My husband likes Future Man on Hulu. The just released the final season of that one. It's a silly kind of show.

We finished watching The Outsider (new Stephen King show on HBO) recently. I liked that one.

Also looking forward to watching the new Trolls movie over the weekend with the family.

[Shermann]

204. Did Westworld make any sense on the second viewing? nt

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

212. Yeah, I think it makes sense. N/t

[Lulu KC]

105. The Restaurant--Amazon Prime

Last edited Thu Apr 9, 2020, 02:48 PM - Edit history (1)

Swedish series about family restaurant over multiple generations
Beautiful interiors and costumes, a little Downton Abbeyish with the upstairs, downstairs thing going on
Wonderful for post-war history and culture--covers rise of Democratic socialism, human trafficking, LGBQ history, women's rights, pulls in effects of the Holocaust--plus addiction, true love, music from 50's jazz forward, trends in cuisine, and so much more.
Like any family drama, it goes a little Jerry Springerish sometimes.
I just started season 2. It's with the Sundance channel so they pull you into that with a free trial period.

[Lulu KC]

106. Must plug Detectorists

Netflix and Amazon Prime
I have never recommended this that the person hasn't thanked me and become a zealot!
So damn good. Give it two episodes. If you're not in by then, hang it up. But if you are? It's a beauty.

[Codeine]

132. I absolutely LOVE that show! nt

[BusyBeingBest]

107. Refuse to watch Tiger King. The more people rave about something, the less

I want to watch it. Also just have no interest in it. Watching lots of stand-up: James Acaster, Nate Bargatze, Marc Maron, Michael Che.

[Lulu KC]

108. Brooklyn 9-9, by Michael Schur of The Good Place and Parks & Rec

On Hulu. Enjoying.

[randr]

110. Not watching the tiger king thing

Tales of the Loop, Schitts' Creek, Star Trek-Picard, Les Blank movies, Colbert, Meyers, Daily Show, Maddow, and listening mostly to local public radio when I am out working on this years garden.
I do not understand the attraction to shows featuring despicable people.

[klook]

117. Schitt's Creek -- so much fun.

That’s a great series, and the episodes are short so we can watch one & then Samantha Bee or Seth Myers, or we can just enjoy three Schitt’s Creek episodes!

[randr]

119. oh yeah, forgot Samantha

In the middle of Shitt's, we plan on binging to the end this weekend

[USALiberal]

146. Well, your in the minority. Nt

[randr]

148. Been there my whole life

Part of my attraction to DU

[fescuerescue]

116. Tiger King re-runs

of course.

123. The Marvelous Mrs. Maisal

Amazon prime. Very funny.

[LizBeth]

150. I really enjoyed that series. Very well made.

[GreenPartyVoter]

125. Britbox binge

[Croney]

127. I suppose I'm alone in watching telenovelas.

Just started "Morocco: Love in Times of War." Then I might rewatch El Clon.

Husband and I are watching Vida. So much graphic sex though.

[Iggo]

209. I love watching Pretty People Arguing Near Some Stairs.

[eleny]

128. Midnight Diner: Tokyo Stories on Netflix

A feel good series that I'll start over as soon as I finish the latest. I rarely do that but this series is that good, imo.

[Codeine]

133. DCI Banks.

A fantastic BBC detective program. Very meaty plots.

[Marrah_Goodman]

134. The English Game on Netflix

A period piece on the early days of soccer and the fight of the mill workers to get fair deal on and off the field.

[Codeine]

139. The soccer element drew me in

but the real story is worker’s rights and class issues. Very good show.

[Marrah_Goodman]

172. I knew this one would be good because the makers of Downton Abbey made it.

Having it be about sports was an added bonus.

[StarlightGold]

136. Great Australian Bake-Off,

Great South African Bake-Off, Great Canadian Bake-Off, and Still Game (Comedy show from Scotland)

[seaglass]

203. Where/what service/channel are you watching these? n/t

[StarlightGold]

213. Daily Motion

has some things that YouTube doesn't.
That and firestick.

[seaglass]

214. Thanks! n/t

[NewJeffCT]

142. I've been watching classic movies that I either have never seen or have not seen in a long time

last weekend, I saw Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid for the first time

the weekend before was The Sting for the first time since probably I was a teenager

My daughter had recommended Whiplash the day before we saw the Sting and that was good, but intense. (Not a classic yet, but it was a good movie from several years back)

[IcyPeas]

143. Wild Wild Country (docuseries about the Rajneesh cult followers)

if you want to see how cults work.... this happened in the 1980s.

When a controversial guru builds a utopian city in the Oregon desert, it causes a massive conflict with local ranchers. This docuseries chronicles the conflict, which leads to the first bioterror attack in the United States and a massive case of illegal wiretapping. It is a pivotal, but largely forgotten, time in American cultural history that tested the country's tolerance for the separation of church and state. Brothers Mark and Jay Duplass serve as executive producers on the series.

98% on rotten tomatoes

[StarlightGold]

145. I think this is parodied

on Documentary Now with Bill Hader and Fred Armenson.

[kacekwl]

147. Frankie & Grace

[LizBeth]

151. I love Frankie and Grace

[ARPad95]

182. Yes, another good one! /nt

[AC_Mem]

154. Outlander - Totally BingeWorthy

Best episodic series on television (IMHO). On Season 5 now - every show is outstanding. The story is fantastic, the acting is top notch. Highly recommend. It's on Starz but several seasons are now on Netflix.

AC

[ARPad95]

183. The books by Diana Gabaldon are binge worthy, too. In order...

Outlander 1991
Dragonfly in Amber 1992
Voyager 1993
Drums of Autumn 1996
The Fiery Cross 2001
A Breath of Snow & Ashes 2005
An Echo in the Bone 2009
Written In My Own Heart's Blood 2014
Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone 2020?

[AC_Mem]

198. Highly Recommend Books

They are long, but oh so worth it! Once I started watching the series, I started reading the books - always in order!!! As good as the show is, the books are even better, and they fill in many of the background situations, people, etc. that makes watching the show that much more enjoyable.

I know I'm a gushing fangran, but I'm just sayin.... its a REALLY good show and perfect for when one is in the house with nowhere to go. Always watch opening credits, some of the shows are violent (wars) and some have some quite lusty (ahem) moments, not really suitable for children.

[snowybirdie]

155. Every afternoon

about one p.m. We settle down to history programs for two hours, usually on Amazon. Learning a lot. Just ask me about Richard III!

[MoonlitKnight]

156. The Last Man on Earth is on Hulu

Startling how a show from 2015 nailed it.

2020 as the year of the pandemic.
Bar had St Patrick’s Day decorations, meaning it was the last week it was open.

I won’t ruin the rest.

[LizBeth]

157. Offspring is quirky fun. Closure, but now they are charging so I couldn't rewatch.

I want to watch Good Place but it is starting with like season 3 or something and I want the start.

[doc03]

159. Mine 9, Badlands, Wildling and Vahoola Murders.

To Die For

[MyNameGoesHere]

160. Movie review - Aquaman

Review - I watched it.
Rating - Don't watch it.

That is all.

[handmade34]

164. Obama's "Crip Camp"

good stuff!!!

and just started "Unorthodox"

[GoneOffShore]

165. Everytime you watch Tiger King an angel gets Chlamydia - Just saying.

[femmedem]

166. Feel Good on Netflix. Semi-autobiographical. Main character/writer is a comic.

It's about a lesbian stand-up comic wrestling with addiction who is in a new relationship with a woman who has otherwise been straight. That might sound dark but it isn't; it's a rom com with wit and heart without being saccharine. Plus it's only six short episodes, so it's easily bingeable. And it gets 100 on Rotten Tomatoes.

[Laffy Kat]

169. I refuse to watch "Tiger King."

It looks upsetting and inhumane to me.

[Duncan Grant]

170. McMafia (imagine Sarah Kendzior's international crime syndicate dramatized)

Rotten Tomatoes: McMafia takes a sleek, stylish look at the sprawling reach of global organized crime..

With James Norton (who you will love) in a very intelligent and believable story. A very satisfying 9 episodes. I’m impatiently waiting for season 2.

[llmart]

171. I started watching "Tiger King" and gave up before the first episode ended.

My review: It's Florida Man on steroids. Why would anyone want to watch this idiot?

[The Great Escape]

173. Snowfall

Season's 1-3 on Hulu. The entire run of House MD on Prime and Grey's Anatomy on Netflix. I have never watched Grey's at all. I want to be all the way through it by the Fall Season.

[Ilsa]

174. Not watching Tiger King.

I have no interest in helping promote a felon who tried to have someone murdered. And now MF45 is talking about a pardon?

[yortsed snacilbuper]

176. mystery road

acorn

[pnwmom]

177. Unorthodox on Netflix is great. Even the follow up 'making of."

[yortsed snacilbuper]

178. mr palfrey of westminster

acorn

[Raine]

191. Justice Network

all crime, all the time.

[DFW]

192. Tatort

Especially episodes with Börne and Thiel as well as Ballauf and Schenk

Lots of nature documentaries and WWII documentaries (I never cease to be fascinated at what happened here, and luckily, they whitewash nothing).

A DVDs few favorite movies I never tire of: The Illusionist, Luftslottet som Sprängdes ("The Castle in the Air That Blew Up," English title: The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest), Avatar, The Shawshank Redemption, The Specialist

But the weather has been unusually sunny here, and we like to take walks on the woods out in back of the castle.

*oh, and what is Tiger King? A fast food chain in Bengal?

[Behind the Aegis]

193. "The Plot Against America" on HBO (2 episodes left).

Watched the finale season of "Futureman" on Hulu. "For All Mankind" on Apple+. And we watched "Beforeigners" on HBO (it is in Norwegian), but it is really interesting!

[kentuck]

196. Interesting concept.

If FDR had not won in 1940?

[Behind the Aegis]

199. Yes.

It is an alternate history genre. What is a bit terrifying is the parallels to what is currently happening now. There is a podcast which reviews each episode and it is discussed there.

[kentuck]

200. How many more episodes are left?

Was it like a 4 or 6-part series?

[Behind the Aegis]

211. It is 6 episodes. the 5th airs Monday.

So you can binge 4 episodes this weekend.

[PaulRevere08]

201. Dispatches From Elsewhere and a 4 episode Netflix

Series. Unorthodox.

[Shermann]

202. The I-Land on NF...so bad it's good! nt

[seaglass]

205. I am watching The Circle - France on Netflix. I have already watched the US and Brazil version.

This is totally popcorn TV and hilarious.

The premise is 8 people secluded in eight separate apartments intentionally ( ). They can only communicate via a social media app, can't see or hear each other and they are competing for popularity. Each day they rate each other and the top 2 most popular become influencers who vote to boot someone out of the Circle.

Lots of imposters/catfish - one of the seasons had two women friends, 75 and 78 pretending to be a 25 yo male.

If you're looking for something mindless and funny, and perhaps a reflection on some aspects of society, this is it.

(Brazil and France are both subtitled)

[Iggo]

206. Literally anything else.

Right now I’m watching Counterpart, Westworld, Hunters, The Rook, Euphoria, the Outsider, Killing Eve, and just yesterday I started watching Ozark. That one’s special. Turns out that Bateman guy can direct.

[RhodeIslandOne]

207. Bosch

Finished season one. It’s a bit of a throwback to network procedure cop shows.

[Kaleva]

208. Luther

[Jane Austin]

210. Shetland, Vera and

Grace and Frankie.

All delicious!
