Looking forward to the new season of Bosch. After we watched all the episodes, we searched for other series with Titus Welliver. We found "The Good Wife" and watched all the episodes of that, which took a long time! Now we're watching "Suits" and enjoying it immensely. We'd never seen Meghan Markle (the Duchess of Sussex) in anything before and it has been fun to see her. Titus Welliver had a part in one episode, I think, and we've seen an actor or two from "The Good Wife" in other episodes.

Right now, I am watching "This is Us", and I love it! For some reason, when the series started on TV, I thought it was some kind of reality show, so I wasn't interested. Then a friend of mine told me she was enjoying it on Netflix, and briefly outlined the show, and I started to watch it.

Karen, I also loved "Suits" (filmed here in Toronto), and "The Good Wife".

In honour of hearing about Katherine Helman's death today, I am going to re-watch Soap.

I watched it when it first came out, but I was a teenager, and I'm sure all the nuances were lost on me.

Man in the High Castle on Amazon Prime......pretty amazing......

Couldn't wait for each evening to watch it again and again.

Hoping for the new series soon, and it's coming!

What a let-down when series like these are over!

Outlander I can and do rewatch many episodes. So interesting to see the actors characters age from one season to the next. "HERES TO WHISKEY AND FREEDOM" And TO HONEST MEN AND BONNIE LASSES. When I steal that toast I Americanize it by saying HONEST MEN AND BEAUTIFUL WOMEN.
Always a favorite at the table.

I think DW has agreed to move our 60" to the BR (replacing a old 40").
Then, we'll have room for a new one.
.

Saw the other day that Bosch has already been renewed for season 6. The final season of Suits is playing on I believe USA now. When the Good Wife ended they spun off the Good Life on CBS All Access. All of these are on our favorites list along with Silk and Jack Ryan.

Is Netflix ever going to get the newer episodes of Doc Martin? I hate to have to join Acorn to see season 7 & 8 and have been not so patiently waiting for Netflix to get them. Loved Bosch and many others we're waiting for new seasons of.

I saw an article on Schitt's Creek around Christmastime. I enjoy the actors from Best in Show, Mighty Wind etc. Schitt's Creek has very low key humor and I've enjoyed the first two seasons and am glad there are several more to go. Also part way into the second season of the documentary Making A Murderer. I can't figure out why anyone would go to all the trouble to frame Steven Avery. But his nephew Brendan sure appears to have been railroaded -- he was so young (16) and so slow I think both socially and IQ -wise, that he just was bullied by the police into a "confession".

Just started the British police show Bodyguard. It's excellent and between watching the 1st and 2nd episodes I stumbled on the fact that the lead actor won an Emmy for his performance.

@capjak - while I always try to keep in mind the old adage "to each, his own..." may I ask what turned you off to Bosch?

Nope. We signed up with Acorn so that we could continue with Murdoch Mysteries. Finding Doc Martin on Acorn was a bonus. We terminated our Netflix membership 3 months ago as we had not used it in a year. We like Acorn because we love non-US series.

None. We don't subscribe to either. A friend of Patti's has listed her as as second permitted user 6 months ago. She still has not watched a single thing.

Netflix.......Medici: Masters of Florence ....just finished Season 2, previously watched Season 1 ....both good.

Season 3 has been filmed and will be released in early 2020, per online reports.

These are especially great for us because we recently completed our lifelong "ultimate trip" to Italy back in October,
spending 3 nights in Rome and 4 nights in Florence (plus other places), both of which figured prominently in filming,
and as we watched we kept saying, "Oh, look....we were there.....and there......and there".......it was amazing.


Before that, on PRIME we watched Man in the High Castle, and really enjoyed that.

Fair enough - I have to admit that while I was familiar with Titus Welliver's previous work, it always seemed to be a fringe character or a minor supporting character at best. I enjoyed seeing him in the lead role for a change and have enjoyed Bosch. But I do see your point as his character in Bosch is definitely a brooding and moody one.

We had never seen Titus Welliver in anything until we started watching him in Bosch. We liked him a lot in that role, and when we finished up the available episodes, we looked for other shows he appears in.

That's how we found The Good Wife, which we loved, but we didn't particularly care for Welliver's character on that show nor did we like the character he played on Suits. I look forward to a new season of Bosch.

I did a binge-watch of Marvelous Mrs. Maisel last summer while using grand-daughter's account. Around Christmas time I was visiting her again and watched some new episodes. After returning home I did everything I could think of to find it on my Spectrum cable tv. No luck. I kept asking myself...'are people really only able to watch this with Amazon Prime?' Finally, I remembered my daughter has Amazon Prime and she agreed to let me use her password so I could watch this program. I got settled in front of my computer, logged in, looking forward to 'catching up' on the episodes. Low and behold, turns out I had already watched season 2 clear to the end. Never heard of releasing the entire season of shows all at once. Now that I can access A.P. tv, I guess I should start at the top of this thread and see what else I can watch.

If you want to watch Amazon Prime from the comfort of your TV, you can just get a Roku, FireStick or similar. I find it much more comfortable than staring at my computer.

I have heard of those devices -- but do I need a Smart TV to use? (Mine is not smart, but I think it has spare USB port open.)

You need a spare HDMI port on the TV. If there is also a spare powered USB even better.

Roku still makes a unit for older non HDMI TVs as well, for those stuck in the 20th century.

I think you recommended Lillyhammer a while back. I started watching this again. Its my 3rd time.
