What are you currently streaming?

I'm streaming every series of Star Trek in in universe chronological order. Finished Enterprise and started the original series yesterday...

It's... Just... Awful Captain!

So so bad.

Ozark and I love it.

R2 I gave Ozark up early in season 2 as I thought it was a shitty parody of Breaking Bad. Is it worth going back to? x

I watched all the seasons of Line of Duty on Britbox and await the new episodes. Caught up Poiroit Seasons 9-11 and rewatched Funny Face, King Creole, Bye Bye Birdie, To Catch a Thief, The Out of Towners etc.

[quote]What’s getting you through the lockdown?

They have Six Feet Under "on demand" here in England and i find myself watching it yet again.

If you ever liked the show give yourself a treat, it's a great re-watch show and re-re-watch show.

The King: Eternal Monarch

I watched the first season of The Great on Hulu yesterday. I will definitely watch the second season. It's well written and has a lot of really funny lines in it. Great period piece with lots of modern dialect. Also an occasional bear turns up, sometimes inside the palace.

The Eddy on Netflix.

Dead to Me. Christina Applegate was really good.

Mrs. America

The Plot Against America

R5 Where are you watching Six Feet Under? I’ve never seen it, but I loved True Blood so I know I should definitely give it a go. x

6 Feet Under is on Amazon Prime

Actually it looks like 6 Feet Under is no longer free on Prime.

Netflix: Community, Last Tango In Paradise, into The Night

Hulu: Stumptown, Gameface, Designing Women

HBONow: The Outsider, Years & Years

I downloaded half of the movies mentioned in the awful but you love them thread. and all 6 seasons of 2 broke girls and am watching that. my lack of taste has no shame

R5 Only the first three seasons. The fourth and fifth seasons were morbid and depressing and the show went from being a dark comedy to the TV version of Requiem For A Dream.

I just finished Ozark and it was amazing. I'm watching What we do in the Shadows on Hulu. It's hilarious. Been trying to watch a lot of comedies to keep my spirits up. Bob's burgers, King of the Hill, South Park. I've been trying to watch South Park because I heard it's going to HBO Max. I really don't want to get another streaming channel.

Finally watching The Americans. It was recommended to me as I am a huge Homeland fan. I’m really enjoying it so far. And good lord Matthew Rhys is as hot as hot gets.

In the middle of Black Butler now (anime) and watched London Spy previously.

Ozark, Bloodline.

I've been rewatching Merlin. Funny, hawt leads and completely transporting.

Selling Sunset. For those who love The Hills/Million Dollar Listing. Christine is such a bitch...loving her!

r16, you may like "Claws", Nicey Nash is a treasure.

Russian sci fi series “Some of Us” is very good

streaming ropes of piss, EVERYWHERE

I meant Better than Us

On HBO on Demand I'm watching the British miniseries Five Days and the Hungarian dramedy When Shall We Kiss.

I'm enjoying them both.

Stumptown has now been canceled by ABC because of production delays. Which meant the show wouldn't be able to premiere in the fall like ABC wanted.

Stumptown?

Better Things on FXnow

Bloodline, William and Mary, The Fall, Ozark, Mindhunter. All Numbflix or Amazon.

I started watching the American Horror Story series

Doc Martin and The Walking Dead.

Rebekah Martinsson. Subtitled but a really good scandi crime drama.

All seasons of Endeavor on Prime

I usually avoid British detective shows but this series is written so intelligently and acted so well. I love Shaun Evans as the young Detective Endeavor Morse. The plots are little complicated but it's really engrossing tv.

Just getting into "Call My Agent!" on Netflix.

Camille Cottin deserves a big career. She's a star.

Netflix = Broadchurch, Sinner, The Windsors (comedy) The Bodyguard, Shitscreek, the crown

HBOMax - Search Party - dark comedy but laughing-my- ass-off at times funny

I started to watch "We Are Who We Are" on HBOMax but stopped because of the Justin Beiber- look-alike. There has never been a protagonist so repugnant and awful.

Extracurricular.

Great thriller so far.

Animal Kingdom. All 4 seasons on Amazon Prime. It’s so well done.

I am rewatching Sons of Anarchy, I have a thing for Tig

We’re loving Servant on AppleTV+ - and it stars Lauren Ambrose from 6 feet under.

Watched all of Ray Donovan on Showtime. Bummed it’s over. Was keeping me sane.

Broadchurch first season is great— goes steadily waaaaay downhill I think and by season three is not watchable.

There’s a good British series called The Fall with Gillian Anderson and Jamie Dornan— really liked that.

Yes R3 it is. So worth it for the season finale of season 3. It will blow your tits off.

Also Animal Kingdom, Discovery, Bloodline, Broadchurch UK and The Umbrella Academy. Stunning for different reasons. Sometimes it's necessary to overlook a few weird bits in Bloodline S3.

For Amazon - The Stand, The Boys, Fleabag, The Man in the High Castle, The Wilds, Good Omens and Upload. All fantastic for different reasons. The Boys is stunning. The Stand is still being released week by week but all the other including the Netflix recommendations are ready for streaming/binge.

Also as mentioned above Better Things is great! I think I watched it on Hulu though not FX?

Netflix - Night Stalker. Don't watch it at night or with your doors opened.

[quote] Better Than Us.

That was an interesting series but the lead Russian actor had a previous "eccentric detective" series I liked much better. "The Sniffer". I had watched it on Netflix a couple of years ago and it's on Amazon now.

I was genuinely surprised Russian television would show so much about official and oligarch crime and corruption. Plus interesting views of modern Moscow and the area.

For myself currently, one episode a night of Wiseguy on Peacock. Damn that was fine television. Waiting for the next episode of The Expanse.

Watching 30 Coins (which I also mentioned on another thread because I've become smitten with Miguel Ángel Silvestre) and Warrior on HBO On Demand.

I'm finally watching the final season of Mr. Robot, and it's intense for a TV show.

I am watching Dickinson on Apple tv. It got a lot of good reviews. I'm turned off by a lot of the pop culture reference in a show set in 19th century. Otherwise, it is a charming 30 minutes and more so now that Finn Jones guest stars as a charismatic but smarmy ladies man.

Homeland. Never saw it while it ran. Its ok. Some good parts. But also boring a lot of the time.

Coneheads followed by the Virgin Suicides followed by some random Steven King film.

I've been mainlining 3-4 movies a day via Sundance.

I just watched The 100 and Suburra. Le Bureau (french) and Trapped (icelandic) are fantastic but in Amazon or sundance

FYI: Sundance released more tickets to screenings yesterday and you may be able to still get one for individual screenings:

Where can I stream 2 Broke Girls?

I just did a second run through Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.

Pretend It's A City (Martin Scorsese, Fran Liebowtitz) on Netflix.

[quote]Where can I stream 2 Broke Girls?

Hell.

Murder on Middle Beach was quite good.

The Crown (all four seasons)

Spinning Out (about a skater)

Tiny Pretty Things (set in a ballet school)

Queen's Gambit

Motley Crue - The Dirt

Have been very pleasantly surprised by The Good Place. Just finishing up the last episode on the final season. It has been clever and funny and touching.

R18: Yay! Anime! I just finished HunterxHunter, watching the last season of Attack on Titan and Tokyo Ghoul. I really want to watch Banana Fish, but have to muster up the courage because it is very sad. Need to be in the mood for that one.

And thanks for reminding me about London Spy. That has been on my list forever and I keep forgetting about it! Will watch when I take an anime break.

I never thought I'd like anime or any cartoon but Castlevania was entertaining and riveting. It even had sex scenes.

Netflix: The Dig

“Kim’s Convenience” is pee-your pants funny.

Person of Interest on HBO Max

Thanks R64 - I will check it out!

Catching up on Letterkenny (Hulu).

Just finished The Ripper about Stuart Sutcliffe the Yorkshire Ripper. Very good!

Mr. Robot season 4. It's an intense series with a lot of subplots and some gay stuff in-between.

Spoiler Alert: Trannies Ruin Everything.

Spartacus. Fun enough show with enough violence and nudity to keep me entertained. I also like how its like game of thrones in that it kills off characters, or that not everyone gets the magical comeback that other shows do. No, sometimes the underdog is the underdog for a reason.

Sinner season 1, 2 and 3 coming out on Saturday

Night Stalker and The Crown

So behind with stuff right now...

Has anyone watched the Asian version of [italic]the Bridge[/italic]? It's an HBO Asia offering. I just checked HBO Max and it's not available there. An article popped up in my Twitter feed, and now I'm really curious.

I am currently obsessed with Call My Agent on Netflix. Also liked Dead to Me.

I also really enjoyed The Morning Show and Ted Lasso on AppleTV.

The Office is one of my favorite shows and rarely did a day go by that I didn’t watch an episode. Now that it’s off Netflix I am in withdrawal. I guess I have to sign up for Peacock.

r76, I'm also loving CALL MY AGENT. I'm almost done with the 2 nd season. I can't quite articulate what's so great about it but I've fallen in love wit all the whole cast. I'm trying not to binge so it will last.

The show deserves its own thread, so perfect for DL, but I'm not certain they're are many aware of it here.

R77 there is a thread called Dix Pour Cent (the series’ original title). Sorry too lazy to search and link it for you. But I agree, seems like this would be right up DL’s alley.

One of the things I like about it is the office setting which is relatable for me and I guess I do miss it.

Re-watching Schitt's Creek, and still laughing.

I just binged the entire Firefly Lane. It wasn't the best thing I've ever seen but it was watchable. I give it 6/10.

It was a bit rough around the edges but if you've got nothing else to watch then give it a go.

I also binge watched 2 seasons of Gameface. That was really funny in parts.

Don't watch it if you don't like British humor.

Watching Warrior on HBO On Demand. (I'm a few episodes into season 2.)

I'm surprised it's keeping my interest, and I'm glad to see that a gay character has been added for the 2nd season.

Mythomaniac is a great French series that is really fun. I absolutely loved Back to Life on Showtime. I think it was one of the best shows I have seen in some time. Lupin was very enjoyable.

Very very very late to the viewing party. I just finished season 1 of The Wire on HBO Max. I'm hooked. I can see why the critics went crazy over this show. It's excellent.

I enjoyed Babylon Berlin a lot and it got me through a big chunk of the ‘20 Rona. Was very sad when I got to the last ep.

I started The Crown and Downton Abbey. Still watching those.

Love The Mandalorian.

Servant on Apple TV is fun. Also have been watching Alice in Borderland and Sweet Home, two Asian sci fi series — both started strong but I’m not happy with the direction they’re taking.

The Vow was diverting though much too long.

I kinda wish I could watch again for the first time, r84. After you finish watching the series, you can play "spot the [italic]the Wire[/italic] actors" on other shows. [italic]The Good Wife[/italic], for one, hired a lot of them. What surprised me, though, was that I realized Isiah Whitlock and Wendell Pierce had been in several projects I'd already seen. Whitlock has a scene in [italic]Goodfellas[/italic]. It was kind of like not having really recognized Gandolfini until watching [italic]the Sopranos[/italic].

I’m sure we’re late to the party, but my boyfriend and I just finished Veneno, on HBO Max. It was really, really good. Better to watch it in Spanish with subtitles, if you need them. The English dubbing is pretty badly done.

Recently finished a couple of good British comedies on HBO Max: “Home” and “Ghosts”.

Big fan of the British series W1A , a workplace sitcom about the inner-workings of the BBC with Hugh Bonneville and Jonathan Bailey and a score of Brit character actors you'll recognize from other series.

And MUM with Lesley Manville is also a very funny sit-com about working class suburban Brits. Great to see Manville not so serious, though she's kind of the "straight man" here to all the zanies in the cast.

And I also loved THE SPLIT with my personal fave Nicola Walker as a divorce lawyer. It's the kind of ordinary series that I would never watch with American actors (I'm American) but is totally lifted by the stellar British cast. And, of course, can't wait to see Nicola in the 4th season of UNFORGOTTEN, my favorite series.

I really hope all these shows will eventually have new seasons.

Two episodes into Stateless, an Australian mini series on Netflix set at a immigrant detention camp in the Outback. Yvonne Strahovsky is one of the stars. Cate Blanchett is a co-creator and executive producer, and she plays a supporting role.

The hot, fit-fat Jai Courtney is also in it. I would tap that in a heartbeat.

Stateless is excellent R90. You'll really enjoy it. It says a lot about Australia's shame about immigration detention.

Bump

Lol...I first read this as The Assassination of Giuliani.

I’d watch that show.

We’re really enjoying LAST TANGO IN HALIFAX after I saw it enthusiastically recommended here. What are some other shows with gorgeous scenery shots? (We’ve already watched SHETLAND.)

I’m finishing Veneno this week and just started that insane Q anon documentary, both on HBO max.

I watched all four seasons of "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend." (Never once saw it when it was airing.) Then every episode of "Poirot" in chronological order.) Now I'm working my way through the "Marples' starting with the Joan Hickson versions.

Currently in the midst of Mayans MC on FX. Thinking about how nice it would be to get gang banged by all that Latino uncut motorcycle club cock.

Thanks for the Castlevania recommendation. Loved it! Watching Blood of Zeus next.

Started, "Them". Good but so uncomfortable- I wanted to turn it off so many times because of it.

Is Them similar to Us? Seems to have the same vibe.

"ENGRENAGES" and "UN VILLAGE FRANCAIS" on MHz

Check out MHz streaming, they have thousands of great series from Europe and most of them are much better than all the shitshows on NF.

r101, Engrenages is so good- I believe some seasons are avail on Netflix too. Does MHZ have, "Le Bureau des légendes"?

For All Mankind - second season. It's getting very tense and I'm really enjoying it

r100, sort of? I'm still on Ep.3, delaying watching more, because people have told me that it gets worse (not in quality, but what happens to the family).

The Serpent - so good.

The One on Netflix is pretty entertaining and excellent for a binge marathon.

I'm also currently watching the third season of Shitsel. A great family drama about an unorthodox family living in Jerusalem with lots of drama and one of the sons "Akiva" is pretty hot (but he's lusting after his cousin. Eww.) Also the actress from the excellent Netflix drama 'Unorthodox' plays one of the daughters in this series.

Yellowstone - Kevin Costner series about Montana ranch family. Filled with gorgeous cowboys and beautiful horses. The title has nothing to do with the park, it's the name of the ranch Costner's family owns.

Dove into “Call My Agent” aka Dix Pour Cent this weekend. LOVE it. You adjust to subtitles quickly - and it’s truly entertaining, beautifully filmed and very French. One of the best shows I’ve streamed in a while.

Last week I streamed “Baby” the Italian Gossip Girl. Great cinematography and music. Entertaining and worthwhile. Interesting insight into the Italian lifestyle - as well as juicy stories with hot men.

Netflix’s “The Serpent” is mesmerizing. How in the world production design could create a total 70’s SE Asia atmosphere is just amazing.

On an earlier thread yesterday, someone mentioned “Columbo” and “free Peacock.” This morning I successfully downloaded Peacock and am now in 7th Heaven watching Columbo. I grew up in LA in the 50s/60s and haven’t seen this series in decades. It stands up to time.

THE BUREAU is on Sundance, isn't it?

THE BUREAU is the best series I’ve seen in a long time.

Try the original PROFESSOR T on MHz, it's also very addictive and entertaining.

I'm in a whole pirate thing lately. The Lost Pirate Kingdom and Black Sails. Loving them.

I watched the first episode of the Spanish show, "Who Killed Sara?" So far, I'm ambivalent, but will probably give it another episode before deciding if it's worth seeing all the way through.

I got through the 4 seasons of "The Crown", which I hadn't seen. Now I'm working my way through "Grantchester" with James Norton (this is on Amazon Prime).

I tried to watch "The Assassination of Gianni Versace" and I just found the Cunanan character so insufferable I couldn't even get through the first episode.

"THE BUREAU is the best series I’ve seen in a long time."

My husband and I just finished season 4. Phenomenal series. But it's like The Wire. While the first season is absolutely fascinating, it takes a while to build that world up before it gets really moving.

I love the surveillance tech in this - the hackers. Super-cool stuff.

The Serpent literally had me talking to the TV - "No Nadine! Just leave! Aaaaaargh! Please!". Fantastic show.

Money Heist was exceptional too. I completely fell in love with several of the characters. Just need another series now to see if they can escape the bank.

The Yorkshire Ripper series was very well researched and compelling- I was a child in the North during the Ripper era and well remember the news reports and social effects of his crimes. It really brought it all back. Absolutely chilling.

The Crown 👑

I enjoyed Made for Love on HBO Max. Male lead resembles Scott Randsome from back in the day. Also like the straight forward glass blowing comp show, Blown Away on NFLX - didn't realize the glass heating ovens are called glory holes.

I guess I'm low brow because I'm streaming "King of Queens" on Peacock.

Finally finished, "Lovecraft Country"- man that devolved into a weird mess- it had such promise.

I'm obsessed with The Circle on Netflix. I'm surprised at how much I like it and how addictive it is. It's far superior to Big Brother.

[italilc]The Marauders[/italic], a bank-heist movie, on Prime, because it stars Christopher Meloni with Dave Bautista and Bruce Willis. The story has potential, Meloni and Bautista are fine, Willis' role is too small to fuck up, but the director is fucking it up.

r122, watch the foreign versions of it as well- I particularly like the French one. Fun Fact: all versions of it were filmed in the same location in England.

This is a Robbery, the four part series about the still unsolved Boston art museum robbery was so interesting!

[Quote] It's far superior to Big Brother.

So is looking at my poop in the toilet bowl, actually

Another huge fan of Veneno!

Anyone watch "Quicksand" on Netflix? School shooting in Sweden, involving wealthy teens. One kid is the son of the richest man in Sweden. Lots of decadent teen party scenes, woooooo-hoooo! It was pretty good. I love subtitled series, they're like travelogues for me.

Now I'm into "The Woods," another murder mystery, this time in Poland. Having a bit of a hard time following it. Based on a Harlan Coben novel. All his novels lately seem to be getting made into Netflix series based in European countries. I've seen at least two others.

Anderson Cooper did a shoutout to Fleabag on Jeopardy this week (surprise!); I saw the first season years ago, but should re-watch it and the next.

I didn't last 20 minutes with the first episode of Fleabag. It just seemed try-hard and unfunny to me, like "Girls" but even worse. Does it get better?

A lot of the murder mystery series I'm watching constantly jump from past to present. That seems to be a thing.

I'm a fan of the Irish cop series Single Handed.

[italic]Stath Lets Flats[/italic] is so dumb it's brilliant.

Just did Lupin on Netflix. There are 5 episodes I think. Anyway - I thought it was great. Apparently there’s more to come ...

I streamed Flight Attendant on HBO Max. The show is full of just hot guys all over the place. I mean every guy the character fucks or meets, besides one doorman, is cute. There is this baby faces Italian that made me swoon. The bitch has so much hot dick at her disposal that she starts turning down these hotties (for a good reason).

The show isn’t very thought provoking but it held my attention as I ate dinner.

Dark (Germany; Netflix)

Suburra (Italy)

Sky Rojo (Spain)

30 Monedas (30 Coins) (Spain)

Dealer (Spain)

Daredevil (US; drawn in because it's visually beautiful)

This Is a Robbery [Isabella Stewart Gardner theft] (US)

Vís a Vis (Spain)

I tried to watch Fleabag and The Americans, did not like either.

I'm about halfway into the Spanish series One Way or Another, about two fish-out-of-water twentysomething female friends living (disastrously) in a hipster section of Madrid. It's trashy, but I'm enjoying it nonetheless.

I just started watching the Swedish docu-miniseries Pray, Obey, Kill, about a murder case in a community of Pentecostal nut jobs. The story starts off a little on the convoluted side, but it made sense when I watched the first episode a second time. Plus one of the guys - Patrick - is especially attractive in his present day interviews.

Loving all these European recommendations, keep them coming. I’m open to other continents as well although I do find the Latin shows a little too over the top emotionally for me.

I'm late to the party, but Cheer on Netflix is AMAZING!

R97 me too... always think about getting double teamed by EZ and Angel

Shtisel, an Israeli production.

Thanks to whoever directed us up thread to Unforgotten on Amazon. Watched a couple episodes tonight and think I’m really going to dig it.

I'm watching "A Rainy Day in New York." It's charming, I'm enjoying it. Watching the scene in the Met, I'm suddenly wondering, what IS all that Egyptian art doing in New York, so far from where it belongs? I've never really thought much about that sort of thing. Am I getting woke or something?

[quote]Watching the scene in the Met, I'm suddenly wondering, what IS all that Egyptian art doing in New York, so far from where it belongs? I've never really thought much about that sort of thing. Am I getting woke or something?

Not all art belongs where it was made or where it was installed, R143. Not all art would have survived it it had stayed where it belonged. In 150 years, people have passed through the doors of the Met and come out in a sense years later with degrees in archaeology, anthropology, art history, art conservation, cultural studies, geography and gone on to make important contributions in their fields, contributions that changed the way the world view past expressions of art, architecture, everyday objects...

Should school children who grow to adults never having left the U.S. know Ancient Egypt only through images and videos of buildings and objects in Egypt? Ancient Greece? The Roman Empire? Gothic cathedrals in Europe? 12thC temples in Cambodia? 9thC temples in India? 13thC bronzes in Benin? To Lalibela to know about 12thC Ethiopia? To the Inca Museum in Cusco?

Is it preposterous to try to show the wonders of the world under one roof? Yes. And no. I understand repatriation and favor it when there are compelling arguments to do so, not to correct the past which is full of imperfections, but to fill a hole left when the objects were removed, for a future with its history restored in situ, not continents away; but also a gesture of international sharing, not shame. Egypt gave the Met's Temple of Dendur to the U.S. as one of the four major countries that most helped Egypt relocate treasures that would have been lost to the Aswan Dam flooding. In this case there was no smuggling in suitcases or complicated black markets and questions of provenance, it was in effect a cultural exchange: a prize for the Met but also a fantastic thing that helps make new archaeologists and new visitors to Egypt. Having everything Egyptian, or Cambodian, or French Gothic, or Roman Classical, or Traditional Japanese repatriated to the places of their origin deprives the rest of the world of a first hand look at those places without having to travel to them.

R144 thank you, good post. I actually worked in the art world for many years myself. I guess the challenging of the status quo that we’re currently going through got me thinking, that’s all.

R144 VR is happening. There are immersive tours now. There will be less and less need for 20 th century approaches to education.

I am doing Schitt's Creek and The Nanny.

We tried MY LIFE IS MURDER with Lucy Lawless on Netflix but too much estrogen. Sexy, saucy PI lives in a glam apartment, has a sassy black assistant, and is surrounded by hot guys. Lawless does this about as well as Mireille Enos did in her stupid show, both trying and failing to escape their butch realness.

Yay! Castlevania Season 4 premieres today! That (and Pose Season 3) should keep me occupied for a bit🙂

Crash Landing on You. It’s good.

Call my agent. It's delicious. I'm not bingeing as it's to be savored.

Turn: Washington’s Spies. Amazing acting. Assumed it was mostly fictional, but it closely tracks history.

Today is really our third civil war. We forget how divided the country was in revolutionary times.

Benidorm on Britbox is hilarious. I also love so many of their period dramas. It’s definitely worth the $6.99.

I'm considering Britbox, Would you recommend it over Acorn and if so, why? Differences?

Snabba Cash on Netflix and For All Mankind on Apple+. Also, Mythic Quest on Apple+, having worked in gaming, I’m finding it quite amusing.

Just finished The Circle, was a fun show

[italic]The Omega Man[/italic] on HBOMax - I hadn't seen this since I was a kid. It's trippy watching Charlton Heston watch [italic]Woodstock[/italic]. I didn't remember that at all, nor his green velvet jacket.

Just finished Castlevania S4 - Loved it! Great series finale.👍

Agree on Castlevania r158. Saddened by end of series and may re-binge whole series.

Just binged S3 of Shrill.

Just watched “Amy Tan: Unintended Memoir” (2021) on Netflix. It was quite revealing and moving. Started a thread for it.

[italic]Startup[/italic] on Netflix - about a digital currency startup in Miami using laundered money. There are FBI agents, bankers, Haitians, Cubans and hackers. I missed this when it came out on Crackle. So far, I can't predict which way things will go in any episode.

R159 - I might do the same!

Just watched "Front Cover" from Strand Releasing. It is like a gay Asian "The Devil Wears Prada". Very good - I enjoyed it.

I am in the second season of One Mississippi and am enjoying it. It is on Amazon.

Has anyone watched "The Break" on Netflix? Belgian murder mystery. I'm on season two, and liking it.

Last night, I watched a movie called "Steel". It is very good! It is about a gay, successful journalist with a tragic past and mental issues. The two lead actors are beautiful in it. Adding to my favorites list. It is available on Amazon.

Season 3 of The Kominsky Method, on Netflix. One of the few compelling series I've watched there.

I am surprisingly obsessed with American Barbecue Showdown on Netflix. I was not expecting such a brilliant show. It's better than anything I've ever seen on the Food Network. It's the best cooking show I've seen other than Great British Baking Show and Top Chef.

The female judge who sounds like she smokes a pack of cigs a day is my favorite person on TV. She must be rich because her diamond ring is huge.

wow, lots of shows mentioned here that I haven't watched...I will soon, thanks for all the recommendations.

I just finished 3 seasons of Startup on Netflix with cute Adam Brody and there was no closure. I'm not sure if they expected to get a 4th season, but I hate it when a show doesn't have closure and an open ending. The show also ended in 2018 so I guess we'll never get a satisfying ending. I fucking hate this. What a waste of time.

Piss

OP, I'm on my second binge of Assassination of Gianni Versace. I love the time jumps; I'm catching things I missed the first time.

Betty Broderick

The Serpent

Recently I watched Cruel Summer, city on the hill, who killed sara?

After Life on Netflix. It's an amazing comedy/drama series about depression without being depressing. A few good laughs in every episode.

Loved "The Serpent."

Paradise City on Prime Video. A bit trashy indie feel to it but the characters are intriguing and the music, modern rock, is great. I'm actually loving the show.

Anyone interested in politics should watch The West Wing, either for the first time or again. The writing is spot on, there's humor in even the darkest episodes, and the politics are eye-openers, still topical after all these years. Watched all 7 seasons in just over a month, then rewatched them all, paying attention to the details I missed the first time. (Never saw it before Covid.) Clothing and tech are outdated, and the first three episodes are done in breakneck speed, but I either got used to it or it became more manageable to my ears after that. Really enjoyed it.

I saw the list of Netflix's June releases of their shitshows and I can't believe people have to pay for NF original shit.

The Beast Must Die (not a remake of the 1974 film with Peter Cushing) on Britbox starring Jared Harris, Cush Jumbo and Billy Howle. Really engrossing, but I hate that it's a weekly watch. I want to knock out all the episodes.

House of Cards - never watched. Absolutely fantastic. This is democracy in action. We only pretend to matter.

Earlier today I was watching the Man in the Orange Shirt on Amazon Prime. Interesting storyline - starts in the era of WW II with Thomas and MIchael two soldiers who love each other. But Michael marries and has a child Robert. Robert has a son Adam - and Adam is gay too.

Right now I'm just streaming my music library on Amazon Fire Tablet. Not on my Chrombook - oh no - a change was made by either Google, Amazon or both which breaks functionality of read.amazon.com and music.amazon.com. Already reported this to Amazon. Next up I'm gonna contact Google and ask what the fuck changes they made to the chrome browser that broke it.

Finished 2nd season of Special - which I highly recommend. It's about a gay man with cerebral palsy - but very funny and endearing.

Didn't expect to like it as much as I did.

I just rewatched all episodes of The Mandalorian, and the end credits of the last episode are rolling. What a build-up and an emotional impact. The goodbyes between you-know-who were so powerful that even after seeing it the second time I burst into tears, and I very rarely cry. Favreau and Filoni clearly know how to properly show a man caring deeply about someone.

Just finished binging both seasons of reality competition BBC show, Race Across World via free trial on Discover+. Unlike TAR, less manufactured drama/bunching and contestants can't take flights, which lends to more immersive experiences w/locals. Recommended if you're interested in offbeat travel destinations

Lupin season 2

I'm loving Hollywood...only one more episode to go.

Right now I'm streaming my Amazon music library off my FIre Tablet. And what's playing is Luther Vandross "Until you Come Back To Me". Definitely has the 80's vibe but good tune none the less.

I’m watching the documentary Jay Sebring, Cutting to the Truth. Pretty good. Made by his nephew. It’s on Tubi. Worth watching.

Halston. I'm in 4 episodes in and not crazy about it but I want to finish. If this is true he was an an asshole. Lucky he had Liza on his side.
