We finally started watching Stranger Things. I think we are hooked. We watch and espisode or two every night. Just about done with Season 1.

That's next on our list. Our son had recommended it a while ago.
 
Absolutely great recommendations, especially the PBS series and Netflix/Amazon shows. I personally like Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Justified, and the Office as well. Deadwood on HBO Go. For those who read:
The Quantum Enigma; and Physics and Vertical Causation by Dr Wolfgang Smith.
Churchill: Walking with Destiny by Andrew Roberts
Grant by Ron Chernow
Hegemon: China’s Plan to Dominate Asia and the World
GK Chesterton. Pretty much anything he wrote.
 
I am not a huge Trekkie. In college, I would group-watch TNG with some physics friends--they would argue/discuss the science, LOL. I absolutely *loved* DS9, mostly because I have a whole thing about linear time, and the series did a good job of illustrating my argument. :)

But just fyi--Picard apparently takes place between the second and third seasons of Discovery. #themoreyouknow
 
Another great series I have been watching....

Dark Side of the Ring. If you ever loved wrestling back in the 80s or 90s, you will love this show. Documentaries that follow various tradegies that happened to wrestlers. Murder of Brusier Brody, tradegy of Von Erich Family, Chris Benoit murder/suicide, etc, etc.

I think they are going cover the murder of Jimmy Superfly Snuka's girlfriend next week.

It is from VICE. I watch it through ROKU on a channel called VICE ON TV (there is a seperate VICE channel, but it is not on that). I think you can also see it on their website and Hulu.

I'm finally getting around to watching Heartland on Amazon. I keep trying to go back to Schitt's Creek but still don't get it. I've heard the buzz around Tiger King but have not seen it yet.

I've been binge-watching Star Trek Discovery and then will move onto Picard, with the one month free CBS All-Access pass. Stealing a phrase from a friend, I'm referring to this as "competency-porn." :D

Just finished the first season of Picard. :thumbup:
 
Harry Bosch is baaaaack!!!!

Cheers
 
We too are anxiously awaiting the Amazon Prime drop of the new Bosch series tomorrow night!!!

Another show on Prime that we are really enjoying is "Goliath".

Picard held my interest throughout the first season - enough so that I will give season 2 a try but STD was a colossal affront to Star Trek.
 
Since @stmartinfan mentioned Hugh Lawrie, if you never gave House a try, give it one now.
 
Maisie Dobbs series. I’ve been waiting for the latest which came out 2019 to come out in audiobook on Hoopla. Found it this week. :cheer:
 
I watched the first episode of Our Planet on Netflix today. Outstanding! Richard Attenborough may be the best narrator ever (with competition from James Earl Jones). The cinematography is outstanding, also. It was shot in true 4k for those of you, like me, that search for something to watch on your 4k TVs. I highly recommend Our Planet.

We’ve been through the Grand Designs series on Netflix. I avoided it for a long time because I gag at the rich and famous houses.

But these houses are design marvels.

I’ll give it a look. I can’t binge watch those but I enjoy one every now and then.

I.......Hebrew Hammer (not a jewish porn film as some have mentioned. You might need to be a NYer or a Jew to get some of the jokes. Available on Amazon Prime for free streaming).
If you decide to watch, let us know what you think. ....Joe

Watched & watching

Unorthodox - very good / docu-drama
Shtisel - produced in Israel - English subtitles

In a different vein.
We are also watching - The Wire
which we missed when it was originally out

I'm currently re-watching all the seasons of Call the Midwife.

It may not be for everyone but I like Mrs. Browns Boys.

If you have kids that are feeling a bit stressed out or you are yourself, I highly recommend watching March of the Penguins. Morgan Freeman narrates it and his voice is exceptionally soothing.

Hi Jan ,
My wife watched -[ Call the Midwife] - a few years ago . I was on the desk top in the same room ; so I could hear the dialogue , and eventually started watching too .

As I recall it also had interesting insights into British healthcare and public health initiative from the early 1950’s

******
By the way - since you mentioned watching - Corner Gas .
You may want to try - “Little Mosque on the Prairie “ -also based in a fictional small Saskatchewan town .

I thought the latest iteration on CBS streaming was good. We managed to get DVD's of them. Not sure if you can get a free trial or access from CBS but give it a try.

Good one. Might be time to watch it again. Some really good performances.

I'm finding rewatching old GOOD shows is better than seeing current mediocre ones for the first time. In last several years I've rewatched full runs of
St. Elsewhere
ER
Hill Street Blues
NYPD Blue
Sopranos
Barney Miller

Currently making my way back through NCIS (when I get to where Ziva left I'll probably stop as the episodes will be recent enough they haven't faded from memory yet) and CSI.

Reminds me I'd like to see Homicide: Life on the Street again, but can't find it anywhere.
