I like detective shows--even those set in Finland. Currently watching Borderland (dubbed) and I see there is a second season of Deadwind available (first season was subtitles). Interesting to see the bleak (to me) countryside and cityscapes in Finland. Both are excellent series. If you watch either of those I'm sure you'll be offered a series set in Iceland as well -- can't recall the name, but another good detective show.

Steelers are leaving 28 to 24 only 5 seconds in the game. Ravens have the football.

Ravens lost the game.

My wife is binge-watching NetFlix shows. She just finished the Ranch (it was like watching That 70's Show), and now the 100.

Is the about your new state? Timely! :D

Dave

Yes. We love it. We have binge watched all the past seasons of NW Law NH when we first moved in and COVID hit. It was exciting to see all the places in the state we are familiar with.

Now this past month a new season has begun for NH.

(In between seasons they featured ones filmed in Maine and Texas.)

NH Chronicle is on every night for a half hour after the news and features different stories about NH people and things going on in the state with a narrated short historical story segment at the end. It’s been on for 20 years!

That's pretty cool. Kind of like when I watched Pacific Northwest series and movies (e.g. Sleepless in Seattle, Northern Exposure), to see geography I was familiar with. They have a show called Northwest Backroads on Seattle TV that is a travelogue about the Pacific Northwest. Probably similar to your NH Chronicles show.

We've really enjoyed Cobra Kai (the essence of which is that everyone is the hero of their own story, and not everything is so black/white), Shrill (which is just *fantastic*) and Ted Lasso (which has some of the most fully-formed female characters that I've seen in awhile, but you have to watch past the first episode.) Also, the animated Star Trek Below Decks is a real breath of fresh, easy air, while Star Trek Discovery is just straight-up #competencyporn.

I loved Northern Exposure! And Sleepless in Seattle!

Being a person who has always been attracted to the north I also enjoy shows like Alaska Homesteaders, Alaska Trucking, Gold Rush, Bushwackers, The Last Frontier, etc. Lol!

I like watching tv shows and movies filmed in locations in the north, northwest, and New England. Ex: On Golden Pond- which was filmed on gorgeous Squam Lake right nearby where we live (though the story line has it taking place in Maine); The Newhart Show about Vermont innkeepers; What About Bob? ( New Hampshire); Baby Boom ( Vermont); Call of the Wild; White Fang and Iron Will.

I finished watching the re-make of the movie "Rebecca" on Netflix. It is based on the the 1938 novel by Daphne de Mauier and was also made into a movie in 1940 by Alfred Hitchcock which won the Best Picture Academy award that year. I can't remember the original, but all the reviews say this version doesn't measure up to it.

I didn't care. I needed a diversion from all this election drama. The movie was a piece of fluff with beautiful scenery in Monte Carlo and Cornwall and the costumes were fun too. Lily James from Downton Abby starred, as well as Kristin Scott Thomas as the evil Mrs. Danvers. I call this a potato chip movie. No nutrition value, but sometimes you just crave that junk food !

I like your description of it. And Lily James is a great actress, isn't she? If you want to see another great movie, find the "Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society" movie. It's a really great movie, and Lily James is great in it. A couple of other Downton actors are in it, too.


Push comes to shove, read the book. It's also really good.

We are into the Jamestown series on Amazon Prime about three shows in. I didn't think I would like it. My wife wanted to watch this and oddly enough I do like it.

We both liked the series Alone. It is reality tv where people try to make it alone in the wilderness and the last one gets a bunch of money. We watched all seven seasons and we both liked it.

I still spend more time watching youtube.

I watched the entire series of Greenleaf on Netflix over the course of the last month or two. I got hooked by the characters and drama. I really enjoyed it.

I have started watching another show on Hulu called Transplant. I'm a sucker for the medical drama shows and this one is very good. Reminds me of The Resident (also on Hulu) which I also really enjoy. Both are on-going series with new episodes in the future.

I don't do Netflix, Series or Movies. I limit news to between 5 and 6 am when I first get up. Other than that selected Sports but games are getting harder and harder to watch as replays, pitching changes and commercials drag them out...

I think the trick is to DVR record the game (or any show), then skip through the parts you don't want to watch. Makes creating your own Instant Replays really easy. :D

I have thoroughly enjoyed Netflix, non-US based shows: The Durrells of Corfu, Call the Midwife, Broadchurch, Occupied, Borgen, and a few others.
