[ April 2020 ] Quarantine TV Habits: What are you watching?

[geoand]

Bosch is an exceptional series.

We are really enjoying “Atlantic Crossing” on PBS. It is set during WWII and is about FDR and the Crown Princess of Norway. FDR took she and her children in as refugees when America was still officially neutral. Really interesting show.

Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee on Netflix

Our son signed up for the free trial of amazon prime so after Jack Ryan what should come next? I was thinking Yellowstone.

Animal Kingdom on prime. 4 seasons starring Ellen Barkin as the matriarch of a so cal crime family with her boys. Compelling, suspenseful and addicting to watch.

The Lost Kitchen on Discovery +

Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee on Netflix

I watched the first episode of The Lost Kitchen after I saw your post. I had somehow missed it on the guide. I enjoyed it very much and can’t wait to watch the remaining episodes to see how they get through the pandemic. I wish they had gone into more detail about how she actually acquired the restaurant (she was broke and living with her parents?) and how it’s reputation grew so that people from all over the country grew to learn about it and want to eat there. It was sketchy on those details but, otherwise, very enjoyable!

It's a similar format to "A Chef's Life" which was on PBS a few years ago. Googling brings a few more personal details on her backstory before the restaurant.
Weird that you have to enter a lottery to get a dinner reservation

OK, people, I rescued this thread from PAGE 9....that should be criminal.

Just finished watching "Bodyguard", a British series on Netflix.......it's tremendous!!!!!!!
Only 6 episodes in Season 1, and not sure if there will be another......it's in limbo. Hasn't been renewed and hasn't been cancelled either.
But regardless, it's a great series, worth the look. If nothing else, a great long movie!!!!

Check it out, now one of my favorites.......nice storyline and great acting, a real thriller.

Thanks for the rescue. Lately I’ve been watching “Restored” on HGTV via Discovery Plus. The show is about restoring Arts & Crafts and Craftsman homes back to their original style. Awesome series, and hits me right in the remodeling heart.

What wonderful things, Craftsman Style homes and the Arts & Crafts movement!
EVERY town in the USA has examples!!!!
My favorites, btw, and apparently everyone else's. They're universally loved.
We don't have one, but if we were younger, perhaps starting out.... or older and close to retiring, we would.
They are so appealing and esthetically amazing. There's definitely a resurgence in popularity, and for good cause......
So, good point on the HGTV show "Restored", we'll check it out......... as if we didn't love the network already!!!!!
Thanks, much appreciated.
BTW, Hope you're still loving life out there........I enjoy keeping up as an admirer from afar.

It's great here. Exactly what we wanted. The house updates are getting closer to being finished. One step at a time. Stay tuned!

Portlandia --- leaving netflix June 9

Netflix's Designated Survivor with Kiefer Sutherland....(and lots of other stars too).........
At first a few months ago I heard about it and thought it kind of a hokey subject matter, but rest assured, it's anything but hokey---
actually it's the opposite, and I couldn't have been more wrong!
It's a top notch series with wonderful acting and a compelling storyline...I'm fully on board after several episodes into Season 1,
and very thankful that there are a whole bunch of episodes because I absolutely love it. In fact I cannot turn it off.
Each episode is a reasonable and easy 42+/- minutes, and very doable regarding number of episodes per night.
I have watched at least 5 episodes at each sitting, and even then I don't want to stop ....... It's great, and I'm sure you'll like it too.
It contains characters you'll love, and ones you'll come to despise----a product of truly fine acting!

Watching The NCAA Women Softball Tournament between Oklahoma and Florida State.

Really enjoyed Friday Night Lights with Kyle Chandler and Connie Britton. Just finished the last season and so sorry it's over. We watched it originally and enjoyed bingeing it over the last few weeks.

 

[HitchHiker71]

Currently watching Longmire and Bloodline on Netflix. We like both.

Unfortunately they didn't renew it for a fourth season, according to what I read. I enjoyed the first three though. Kiefer's most compelling stuff since 24.

I've almost finished Season 5 of this via TNT On Demand. This show is sort of addicting in a similar way that the series Bloodline keeps you coming back. Everyone's bad, and you keep wondering if they're just going to keep getting worse, but the acting's good and the plot lines are exciting (and excessively violent at times), so it's hard to turn away from it.

On TUBI Patti has been watching Midsomer Murders starting at Season 1 Episode 1. I think she is up to Season 12.

I just finished watching the Bosch series on Amazon Prime. Apart from all the "F" bombs, I loved it, just as I have loved all of Michael Connelly's Bosch books.

I also enjoyed Designated Survivor, starring Canada's very own Keifer Sutherland.

Been binge watching "Hacks" on HBO Max. Jean Smart (You'll remember her as the Secretary at the Sugarbaker offices on "Designing Women") plays an aging Las Vegas stand-up comic who is trying to keep her career afloat. (Think of a cross between Joan Rivers and Debbie Reynolds in their later years.) Jean is absolutely riveting as the comedian character, and is brilliant in the role. She just won the Emmy for this, and it is completely deserved. She is just excellent to watch. Season One has completed filming, and the show has been renewed for a second season. Absolutely worth the watch.

I've discovered Jack Whitehall: Travels with My Father on Netflix. I laugh so much it hurts.

 

[1Kflyerguy]

We just started watching Jack Whitehall: Travels with my Father as well, so funny!

 

[rickandcindy23]

I am actually so sad to be done with Friday Night Lights after watching it through the second time. I loved the characters and wish thye would have done something more with it, but they did tie things up pretty well at the end.

Still looking for another great show to watch and have yet to find anything good like that. I just started watching The 4400 again but not sure I want to watch that one a second time. I don't think Rick watched with me the first time.

 

[pedro47]

Watching the Ryder Club and Team USA whipped the European Team.

 

[mdurette]

I don't watch much TV at all - but when I do I'm usually fine with a rerun or new episodes of Law and Order SVU or Dateline (I know, so exciting).

Regarding SVU: Am I the only one that doesn't need to see Benson and Stabler as a couple? They keep dangling this idea that they are true loves....I'm just not seeing it.
