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

[1Kflyerguy]

We have watched a ton of series since the covid limited our travels and social life.. Yellowstone, Tiger King, The Undoing, etc.

Web started watch Big Sky, which is from David R. Kelly like the Undoing.. I also started the Mandalorian on Disney Plus..

Kind of late to the party, but I just started the Handmaids Tale on Hulu, not sure if i like it enough to watch the whole series yet.

The Umbrella Academy on Netflix. Very quirky show about a dysfunctional superhero family. The soundtrack for is awesome and the show is even better.

Here’s the trailer

My wife and I just started The Boys on Amazon Prime. It’s about a group of vigilantes keeping tabs on superhero’s who have run amok

Here’s the trailer

We just watched The Prom on Netflix. If you get past the “Glee” like vibe it is a feel good musical movie with a great message and a talented cast of big names. James Corbin is awesome but Meryl Streep seems out of her element. Still a fun movie for my wife and I to watch together.

The Flight Attendant and The Undoing on HBO Max are very good

Read a recommendation for a French show on Netflix called “Call My Agent”. It has subtitles, we are enjoying it.
Also the new version of “All Creatures Great and Small on PBS.

Watching House of Cards.......

Might have to look into Flight Attendant

 

[Luanne]

Just started Miss Scarlet and the Duke on PBS.

Been binge watching Discovery Plus channels. It's nice catching up on episodes of favorite shows I've missed. Also watching CBS streaming on Apple TV, because it also contains high-definition versions of the Smithsonian Channel shows. Found an entire season of Big Brother, called "Over The Top," an online version that was never broadcast. Watched the very first season of Survivor, which I hadn't ever seen. Nice to have the background on that series.

All in, I'm watching waaaaay too much television.

Just finished watching “One Night in Miami” on Amazon Prime Video. What a great and appropriate movie to watch on MLK Day. Should definitely check it out!

Before I started watching House of Cards, I tried to watch Uncut Gems with Adam Sandler.....I could not get into it and had to turn it off.

Amazon Prime....Belgravia.
..........Belgravia is a historical drama miniseries, set in the 19th century, based on the 2016 novel of the same name
by Julian Fellowes (Downton Abbey)—both named after Belgravia, an affluent district of London.


Netflix....Lupin.

Same with me - used the F*** word way too much.

There are very few movies we don't watch to the end, even if we say "well that was two wasted hours" when we finish. Uncut Gems got turned off after 30-40 minutes.

I find using the word - for every other word so unnecessary......it does not make a movie better. That turns me off to.

You lasted more than I did

Because my husband has been snowboarding all day and then watching football all night (I hate January) I have been watching shows that would not appeal to him. First I watched Brigerton (Spelling?) on netflix and now I'm watching Virgin River. The scenery on Virgin River is spectacular so I looked up where it was filmed and it was filmed just north of Vancouver. I should have guessed!

 

[DJensen]

Just finished The Reckoning on Netflix - good plot twists throughout, ending a little meh!
Also, started watching The Bee Gees ( 2 hours) on HBOMax - very interesting as I was born in 1968 and so I knew abou their later songs, but not all of the albums in early 70s.

Lupin on Netflix.

I tried Uncut Gems due to all the praise and awards, but i found it annoying and turned it off as well. Did not enjoy the part we watched.

Jack Irish on Acorn TV is one of my favorite shows of the last 12 months. Done by the Australian Broadcast Company. Some great characters in Jack's life. Watch the Movies first and then the 2 seasons if you decide to check it out. IMDB.com will give you reviews if you would like to evaluate before you sign up for a free trial.

We binged on "THE OFFICE" for the past 6 weeks, Fun! Now we're watching Sopranos. I've already binged "Game of Thrones" and "Breaking Bad" in the past 3 years....we just watch an episode or two each night for a couple weeks/months (makes it much easier to follow story lines and characters). But I'd recommend both for anyone who hasn't seen them. We also enjoyed "Fargo". The Americans, Walking Dead & Lost were good shows but got gross & too rough for me at the end....too bad when a show loses everything interesting in the last season or so. (Didn't like the end of Thrones either). The Office has such a nice wrap-up.

Just finished Poldark (via Amazon Prime) last night.

Now we need to find another British program. We're enjoying the British stuff (the storytelling, the costumes, the photography) so much more than American-made programming.

We started watching Babylon Berlin a couple of weeks ago. Watched the first season but could not make sense of it all. Beautifully filmed German series with very compelling acting by the two main leads. Decadent life in Berlin between the two wars is the background to a detective solving what is supposedly a vice crime. Connections to the rise of Hitler and the corruption of local police are also subplots. Throw in addiction issues and prostitution and it all adds up to a very dark show. But it is beautifully filmed and acted and we hung in there.
When we watched the second season everything seemed to fall into place. We are just finishing Season 2 and looking forward to Season 3 and hopefully Season 4 when it airs on Netflix.

There is very little information on this show on the internet but I found this

I sure wish I had this explanation as we struggled to make sense of Season 1. I can't find any good explanations for the other seasons yet but this should help a lot if you want to give this show a try. Nothing on tv like it. Cabaret for the ages without the music.

For those who are Star Wars fans, we watched Mandalorian series on Disney Plus over the holidays. Great to watch with family.
