What did you watch on Netflix/Hulu/other streaming sites?

[C0LLETTE]

This last week I've been laid up with a bad knee, I parked it in front of the tube and figured out how to watch prime which I've had forever and never watched. As an alternative to Netflix it doesn't seem to offer much but as a supplement it's free and has a couple of things. I've been binging Bosch which is basically another detective show though tries for contemporary noir in LA. I like both his house and taste in music a lot. The rest is standard fare.

It was recommended by some folks who have read the book series, it might spark me to read them. The book is always better.

Just found it on Prime. Going to check it out. Thank you Kelt.

I'm considering spending $31.99 to get the first season of _The Rookie_. I have only seen one episode, but I'm told it's the kind of thing I would really like. I kind of hate to spend the money when there are so many good things on streaming right now, but on the other hand nothing is really piquing my interest, and I would love a good bingeable series. Any thoughts, pro/con?

You may want to check out Hulu TV. I think you can stream it on Hulu for about 6 bucks a month.

Tyler Perry's Fall From Grace.......


Boy it was good..:popcorn:

[Orema]

Watched a few episodes of The Morning Show on Apple TV and it was better than I expected. It looks like Matt Laurer is the model used for one of the show's co-host (and I'm surprised that it hits so close to home). I like seeing what goes on behind the scenes of a morning show. It's something to watch if you don't have much else to so.

Also watched a few episodes of Better Call Saul after reading a New York Times review and this, too, is better than I expected. I liked Breaking Bad and thought this was a repeat, but it's not. It's more thoughtful (i.e, slower and not afraid of long silences) and, IMO, more interesting. Will stick with it for awhile.

Still glad I got rid of cable tv. Am able to catch a simulcast of CNN, MSNBC, and C-SPAN on SiriusXM, but I'll get rid of Sirius when they jack up the price after this introductory offer.

I really like The Rookie. Orema's right; you should be able to find it cheaper than that but I'd definitely look for it. They touch on a lot of relevant topics.

I heard a podcast interview with the illustrator Lisa Hanawalt and people keep mentioning it ... I think now's the time.

[charley]

I saw the 1st episode of "Hunters" this morning. It's an Amazon Prime release.

"A diverse band of Nazi Hunters in 1977 New York City discover that hundreds of escaped Nazis are living in America and set out on a bloody quest for revenge and justice. However, they soon discover a far-reaching conspiracy and must race against time to thwart the Nazis’ new genocidal plans."

Well, Al Pacino, the chief Nazi hunter, reminds me a lot of Abraham Setrakian, who was the old guy who hunted vampires in "The Strain". In a way, I think the two series are similar in that they are both fantasies, and the "good guys" are hunting the evil ones. Of course, there have been quite a few films made about escaped "Nazis" - e.g. making a secret base on the moon, such as "Iron Sky" (2012), which was good for a laugh, and then there was the classic, "The Boys from Brazil" (1978), etc.

I really don't know what to make of "Hunters"; will watch the last episode and see if I like how it developed, and if I like that one, may watch all the 8 episodes in between. Apparently, these escaped "Nazis" and their young recruits are plotting to create a 4th Reich, and have placed their members in all sorts of powerful positions, such as govt, etc. {Thinking of what is going on in U.S. politics and the rise of the alt-right.} (lol)

Well I checked the last episode, and yes, it looks interesting enough to watch the whole thing :) Pacino is great!

Have been watching Being Mary Jane again. I quit watching for awhile but am back at it.

I'm still not enjoying Mary Jane's story line, but I love seeing her family in action. So nice to see Margaret Avery (my favorite actress), Richard Roundtree, Raven Goodwin, and Richard Brooks in action on the screen.

It's almost magical for me.

And, Being Mary Jane hired other artists like Jill Scott and Cardi B. Both of them were enjoyable with good roles, but the absolute best was hiring Loretta Devine who played a handsome stud who owns a bookstore in season 3. She kept me blushin' like a schoolgirl with her con-artist, Cadillac-drivin' ass.

I have been watching a Norwegian crime/mystery - sci-fi series (1st HBO Nordic release, 2019- - btw, HBO Nordic offers a free trial) called "BEFOREIGNERS" or its original Norwegian name "Fremvandrerne", in Norwegian with English subs.

https://beforeigners.com/overview/

Reviews are pretty good, and it's interesting. From the past, people begin appearing mysteriously, coming out of the water in a flash of light into a modern-day Norway. All these people come from the distant past, so one has quite a few Vikings and others from 2 other different epochs in Norway's history, who are all roaming around in the present day. Most of the series takes place about 7 years later. This is also a global phenomenon, and the series centres around Oslo, the police, and a Viking warrior, Alfhildr, (a woman :) ) who finds a job as a police officer, and partners up with a detective, and then it becomes a crime series.

"In the near future a new phenomenon starts happening all over the world with powerful flashes of light occurring in the ocean and people from the past mysteriously reappearing. Called “beforeigners,” these people come from three separate time periods: the Stone Age, the Viking era and late 19th century. A couple of years later, Alfhildr – who comes from the Viking Age – has to partner up with a burned-out police officer, Lars Haaland, to investigate the murder of a beforeigner. The pair begins to unravel a larger conspiracy behind the origin of the mysterious mass arrivals."

What fun - combining two of my favourite kinds of TV series: crime/mystery and sci-fi.

In some respects, it reminded me of the sci-fi series, "Alien Nation". Anyways, I am enjoying this series. :)

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Been watching "The Rookie". It's not really compelling, but it's okay bubblegum for the brain. I'd hoped for more humor from Nathan Fillion.

[C0LLETTE]

Lately, I've been turning to Netflix while doing my taxes which means that I can listen but not watch all those Swedish (etc ) to English subtitles whiz by.

Netflix, please tell me in advance if that morbid murder/detective mystery I'm about to watch is at least dubbed without me having to check out the details.
After tax season I'll watch any morbid murder/detective mystery available but till then, pls give me a heads up.

Btw, no heads up needed for French, Polish morbid murder/detective mysteries. Then again, no one does "morbid murder" better than those small, cold Northern countries. I'll hold off on then till after April 30.

[charley]

hmmm.... I am just about to begin watching the 1st of the 4-part docu "Hillary" (Hulu, 2020).

Am quite interested in watching it for soooooooooo many reasons: what kind of woman stays with an a**hole (he cheated on her, etc. - most importantly, yeah but the most important fact of his general character - bleh! )? why didn't - and still do... thinking of Warren - so many Americans view a woman as electable as President (I know, she won the popular vote... but... in general, conditioned misogyny by both women and men) - and since I was so busy at the time she was running, I hadn't really followed that election, so my curiosity is really to discover a bit about her (was it just that people didn't like her because she "may" have just been a b*tch - idk? and, indirectly, how her behavior may have influenced people's view of Warren - people like to compare :) ) and also broaden my understanding on many issues which I can't go into on this site.

Having said the above, I also have qualms* about watching this, and wonder whether I will have the stomach to actually watch all 4 episodes right through to the end. Apparently (?), Bill appears in this doc and I can't stand his voice, perhaps the most extreme example of "ashes in the mouth" - so corrupt... (cough!)

*[I have seen a few excerpts and when Hillary spoke about her "husband", her voice went into the "ashes" mode (she was lying), and when she talks about her career, it moved into a more heart-based sonority - the "real" Hillary.]

So, I shall see how much of this doc I can take. The imdb reviews this doc presently at 4.7/10! - pretty bad - but this has just come out, it may change.

I have read a few excerpts from her book, and wasn't impressed.

[randomnotes]

Continuing my quest to see if Prime has anything I found Goliath and am enjoying it. Being stuck at home I am seeing more video than usual.

Just kind of burned out on Netflix for a while, I think it’s partly due to the recommendations being too similar to each other. I like a lot of variety and it’s there but ever more difficult to find.

I really enjoyed Man in High Castle (revisionist history if we had lost WWII) on Prime. Plus they have some good BBC stuff.

[Ginger]

Love Is Blind! My mentee at work is so enthralled with the show I checked it out ang got totally hooked!

[Gemme]

Love Is Blind! My mentee at work is so enthralled with the show I checked it out ang got totally hooked!

Me too! I've watched a few episodes and it's interesting.

Last night, I got hooked on Zumbo's Just Desserts. I love Australian and New Zealand accents so this is my jam. I binged the whole 2nd season.

[charley]

I just finished watching the final installment of Star Wars (release through Disney+): The Rise of Skywalker (2019) - I loved it. :)

I will miss seeing Daisy Ridley as Rey.

[homoe]

~~
On Acorn we watched Season 1 of Blood which was good, but now we're on to season 2 which is even better!


Caught HBO's first episode of The Plot Against America which starts out promising!

[charley]

I just watched the first episode of season 3 of Westworld (HBO release). Most excellent, and really intense. YESSSSS!

I watch films while the world goes to hell. I kinda feel like Nero, only I didn't create this mess, nor have I contributed to this mess - I never was a part of the establishment! :)

I can really understand Dolores for wanting to burn down the "real" world - the writers who thought up this script - as I am fed up of watching Trump & the privileged class caring more about the economy ($$$) than the poor sods who are gonna suffer from his materialistic selfishness. He is throwing pennies at people to get their support (smh). One cannot put a monetary price on the life of one single human being. I wonder how this TV series will develop. :)

I loved this series. It's so cool, the early Celtic stone-age seeming folks mixing with the modern folks. I love how she uses moss for her period, all those little touches to contrast the different periods. I also liked how tough and yet emotionally open the women are.

[charley]

Earlier today, I watched the last episode (10th) in the first season of Star Trek: Picard, I loved it.

And, the reason I am mentioning it was that I also watched (this afternoon) the first episode of the sci-fi mini-series "Devs" - If you have seen Picard, you will remember Dr. Jurati (Alison Pill) - she also plays Katie in Devs. It was kinda strange to move from one series to another series and see the same person in both. (lol)

I watched Devs on FX, which is in one of my cable bundles. (It is associated with Hulu).

"A computer engineer (Lily) investigates the secretive development division in her company, which she believes is behind the disappearance of her boyfriend."

Reviews are really good, and I am enjoying it. It's a sci-fi series, but has a mystery/crime element. Music is interesting and the locals are beautiful, San Fran and beautiful nature scenery. It got me hooked 'cause you aren't told what Devs actually is, and that is also part of the mystery.

[Kelt]

Valhalla murders, on Netflix. A couple of episodes in…

Fairly pedestrian murder mystery but set and shot in Iceland. The almost monochromatic color scaling and stark aesthetics of the landscape are really the show. In Icelandic with subtitles. :movieguy:

I was looking for something kind of warm and fuzzy after watching all the virus news today. This definitely isn’t it. A good distraction different from the rest of the stuff out there though.

[FireSignFemme]

A true story about a gay activist guy living a threesome lifestyle who decides – Oh how I love Jesus I must be straight, and now that I think about it monogamous too. Then joins the LDS church, comes to hate it, and leaves. Which compels his bestie/girlfriend/fiance, to split with the church. And then he starts his own church. With her as his first disciple. I'm pretty sure this is the same one I read about who was gay for awhile, then became an ex-gay and then went back to being gay again. If so I don't if he's still holding church services. Maybe he is just now he preaches for MCC.

[The_Lady_Snow]

Netflix- Tiger King - I am on episode 4- having a hard time digesting it all....:vigil:

The Outsider. I'm so not a sci-fi, no, not me! Lol
it caught me up, and sucked me in.

The Mule. Who can't resist Clint Eastwood.

Ma. It got to gory ..yuck

McMillions. Interesting.

[C0LLETTE]

I watch "Criminal" on Netflix.., I find it incredibly well written, absorbing and, without all the excess of most crime dramas, totally addictively, binge worthy.

The Brits just do this stuff so very well. Give it a minute and you will be riveted and hooked.

[Kelt]

Been looking for departures, distractions.

CGI 3-D animation shorts on YouTube seem to be providing some distraction.

Also, of course, puppy videos! Just right after too much news. Also YouTube.

:cheesy:

Don’t know how long it’s been there but I just found it.

Ozarks season three, only two episodes in but so far just as good as the first two seasons. Happy and distracted!

[RebelDyke]

well, I burned through The Magicians pretty fast. Moved on to The Men Who Built America, and currently trying to get through A Haunting on Brockway Street....

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Okay, I tried to watch _Tiger King_ because everybody at my work wants to discuss it on Zoom tomorrow morning. But no, one of the first warnings to come up is "scenes of animal abuse". Can't do it, nope, nope, nope.

[kittygrrl]

i'm currently watching "something's gotta give" w Jack Nicholson..i really like it..so far..

[GeorgiaMa'am]

I just finished watching Unorthodox, a four-part miniseries on Netflix. It is loosely based on the autobiography Unorthodox: The Scandalous Rejection of My Hasidic Roots by Deborah Feldman. Each part runs about an hour.

Esty (Esther) is a member of an insular Hasidic community in Williamsburg, New York City. She is married when she is 17 and expected to get pregnant as soon and as often as possible, all while adhering to the very strict rules of her upbringing. She and her husband have difficulties getting pregnant, and after about a year of marriage Esty runs away to Germany. She makes some friends, becomes involved with a music school, and looks up her mother who lives there with her female lover. Esty's husband and his cousin come to find her and bring her back.

I thought it was a very good film of self-discovery. It was also a very interesting view into what Wikipedia calls the "Hasidic Satmar group". The Wikipedia entry on Deborah Feldman is also worth a read.

Old-school sci-fi on Netflix

Minority Report 2002

I think I saw somewhere that Netflix is resurrecting some of the older stuff from their catalog. Lots of people wanting to binge on pretty much everything.

[Orema]

Currently watching Def Comedy Jam on Pluto TV. So good.

[Orema]

Also watching CRIMINAL on Netflix (https://www.netflix.com/title/80216172). This is the best police procedural I’ve seen in 30 years.

Each episode of Criminal takes place in one of three rooms. The interrogation room, the observation room (observing the interrogation) and the hallway that leads to both rooms. It’s not cops and robbers in the typical sense: no dramatiic arrests, no perp walks, no titillating crime scenes. At least not in the typical ways. Only in flashbacks, if then.

It’s all about the questioning of a suspect in a non-descript room. It’s almost claustrophobic. It’s usually one mind against another. The writing is excellent (as Collette mentioned in another post). It has to be excellent because that’s all there really is ... dialogue.

There are four series with three episodes in each series. Each series takes place in a different European country. The UK, Spain, France, and Germany. Though it’s produced by the UK. Damn good job by them, too.

Right now it’s my favorite show. Am enjoying it as much as (if not more than) Killing Eve. KE is so creative and clever but I read that season 3 may be a dud.

I’m most impressed with Criminal because they do so much with so little—just a few people in a room talking. Good acting, good storylines, good writing.

I'm currently bingeing on a limited series from Starz on Primetime, free thru April.

I don't have tee-vee or cable tee-vee at home, but I came across (quite by accident, tonight) an very interesting tv series, over on youtube.

It's quite well done, actually. It's a British drama series. It aired on iTV years ago, and you can find many episodes over on youtube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgNCWS-dF8EekOUUMAUnE1A) or by doing an internet search on Bing (https://www.bing.com/search?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.rosemaryandthyme.tv%2F&form=ANNTH1&refig=7463abace8554ca38159a1a9e160360f&sp=-1&pq=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.rosemaryandthyme.tv%2F&sc=1-31&qs=n&sk=&cvid=7463abace8554ca38159a1a9e160360f#).

Here's the plot summary, found on TV.com:

Welcome to the Rosemary and Thyme guide at TV.com. Rosemary Boxer and Laura Thyme first meet through their troubled lives and a mutual love of plants. Together they start a new life as a gardening consultancy called Rosemary and Thyme, tackling all kinds of horticultural problems. But they are also amateur sleuths who seem to meet with murder and mayhem wherever they go. As soon as they start any new assignment, they find plots, conspiracies and killers between the garden paths, if not dead bodies on them. On 12 May 2006, ITV announced that the third series was the last. The final two episodes, Racquet Espanol and (ironically) Enter Two Gardeners were pulled from ITV's schedules and have not yet been broadcast in the UK, although they have been seen overseas.

Here is the first one: Rosemary and Thyme S1 Ep. 1 - And No Birds Sing

I've only watched a few of them, but they're incredibly well done and I'm impressed by this British drama series. Enjoy! Hope you like them as much as I do.

All kinds of shows for free on SLING.com.

Right now I’m watching Django Unchained (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1853728/). Lots of triggers so I’ll watch for as long as I can, but it’s worth it just to see Django rescue Broomhilda and to see Samuel Jackson straighten his back in one of the closing scenes.

We watched THE MORNING SHOW and started DICKINSON on Apple TV. MORNING SHOW was really good and we are enjoying DICKINSON, too. Very lesbian.

Apple TV is 4.99/mo and you can get it on your Roku TV if you have one of the later models. We have an older model, but we have a Fire Stick on it (a cousin hacked it so we can get bootlegs) and we were able to add the Apple TV app to the Fire Stick.

We also could have gone through our XBox, but i let my gold subscription go when we got Roku.

[dark_crystal]

All kinds of shows for free on SLING.com.

Right now I’m watching Django Unchained (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1853728/). Lots of triggers so I’ll watch for as long as I can, but it’s worth it just to see Django rescue Broomhilda and to see Samuel Jackson straighten his back in one of the closing scenes.

I really loved that movie, but it was BRUTAL. I remember coming out of the theater in a crowd of POC and keeping my eyes lowered.

Tonight's movie will be the start of another top 10.....

Michael Moore Presents: Planet of the Humans | Full Documentary | Directed by Jeff Gibbs


Zk11vI-7czE&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR1OS6hLY_DEVhHQikcAnsdSFhEvc6qhqye2PFT_A D9qQvvXRRvin4FiBx4


Michael Moore presents Planet of the Humans, a documentary that dares to say what no one else will this Earth Day — that we are losing the battle to stop climate change on planet earth because we are following leaders who have taken us down the wrong road — selling out the green movement to wealthy interests and corporate America. This film is the wake-up call to the reality we are afraid to face: that in the midst of a human-caused extinction event, the environmental movement’s answer is to push for techno-fixes and band-aids. It's too little, too late.

Removed from the debate is the only thing that MIGHT save us: getting a grip on our out-of-control human presence and consumption. Why is this not THE issue? Because that would be bad for profits, bad for business. Have we environmentalists fallen for illusions, “green” illusions, that are anything but green, because we’re scared that this is the end—and we’ve pinned all our hopes on biomass, wind turbines, and electric cars?

No amount of batteries are going to save us, warns director Jeff Gibbs (lifelong environmentalist and co-producer of “Fahrenheit 9/11” and “Bowling for Columbine"). This urgent, must-see movie, a full-frontal assault on our sacred cows, is guaranteed to generate anger, debate, and, hopefully, a willingness to see our survival in a new way—before it’s too late.

Featuring: Al Gore, Bill McKibben, Richard Branson, Robert F Kennedy Jr., Michael Bloomberg, Van Jones, Vinod Khosla, Koch Brothers, Vandana Shiva, General Motors, 350.org, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sierra Club, the Union of Concerned Scientists, Nature Conservancy, Elon Musk, Tesla.

Music by: Radiohead, King Crimson, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Blank & Jones, If These Trees Could Talk, Valentina Lisitsa, Culprit 1, Patrick O’hearn, The Torquays, Nigel Stanford, and many more.

I am currently watching Wolf Hall, a 2015 BBC release (available also thru Prime Video - Amazon.com).

I have finished 3 of the 6 episodes, and I can't say enough about this excellent TV mini-series. There were so many scenes that I will always remember, like images that recall some of Vermeer's paintings, only these are in motion. :)

The acting is excellent, the dialogue, the choreography, the music, the costumes, everything, and the story (so quiet and gentle) records an extraordinarily intense time in British Tudor history. Well worth watching!

"After the downfall of Cardinal Wolsey, his secretary, Thomas Cromwell, finds himself amongst the treachery and intrigue of King Henry VIII's court and soon becomes a close advisor to the King, a role fraught with danger."

This series is an extraordinary accurate historical rendering of the life of Thomas Cromwell - an adaptation of the first two books (of the trilogy of Thomas Cromwell's life) by Hilary Mantel (who won Bookers for both books). The third book in the series has just came out (2020), and I now have all three books stored on my Kobo... which I am also reading. :)

In a most excellent documentary on Hilary Mantel, where she discusses her personal life, her books, etc., she talks about how Thomas Cromwell contributed to "the Reformation, in giving the Bible in English to the people, and establishing Parliament as a ruling force". I saw this documentary on TV, but it is available on YouTube (Hilary Mantel: Return to Wolf Hall (2020):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDG-N5Z4POU

As an aside, from Wikipedia:

"During her twenties, Mantel had a debilitating and painful illness. She was initially diagnosed with a psychiatric illness, hospitalised, and treated with antipsychotic drugs, which reportedly produced psychotic symptoms. In consequence, Mantel refrained from seeking help from doctors for some years. Finally, in Botswana and desperate, she consulted a medical textbook and realised she was probably suffering from a severe form of endometriosis, a diagnosis confirmed by doctors in London. The condition and necessary surgery left her unable to have children and continued to disrupt her life. Continued treatment by steroids caused weight gain and radically changed her appearance."

An Ex of mine was a direct decendent of William Tyndal,the guy that translated it from Latin to English,he was burnt at the stake as a heretic by the church,I remeber her folks had the ink wells and also family portriats,also her family remained full on christians through all the following generations,not her,but her brother n sister were total happy clappers.
We went to Oxfordshire when we were in the UK and I found a book on him,in an old church there,

[charley]

Well, I just binged watched the last three episodes, and WOW, omg, I am speechless, it was so good. I can't wait until the BBC does the adaptation of Mantel's last book in her Thomas Cromwell trilogy, The Mirror and the Light (2020). But then again, I have it on my Kobo, and it is looking like I may read it before any adaptation is done.

Watched S3E3 of Killing Eve (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7016936/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1) on Sling for free. Unfortunately, I think the emphasis is on who is being killed instead of how they're dying. It's not as posh as it was and I wonder if my assessment is swayed by that. Whatever the case, I'm still enjoying it.

Also watched E4 of Defending Jacob (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2304589/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1) on Apple TV and think I'd enjoy the book more than the series, but am sticking with it to the end.

Just started…

The Eddy is an French–American musical drama television miniseries, set in Paris. The first two episodes are directed by Damien Chazelle and written by Jack Thorne. Original music is written by Glen Ballard and Randy Kerber. The series consists of dialogue mainly in English, though French, Arabic and Polish are also featured. The first season consists of eight episodes and was released on Netflix on May 8, 2020.

Enjoyable first episode about a jazz club, good music.

[Orema]

Last night I watched Killing Eve's mother's day episode (Sling), Low Winter Sun (Pluto) and Black Card Revoked (Pluto by way of BET).

There was an underlying sadness to last night's episode of Killing Eve, but still it was good and smartly written, as usual.

Low Winter Sun was a repeat for me. Good but tough to watch.

Black Card Revoked was funny as usual.

[jools66]

Started watching this last week.
The concept of it is something you can see happening in years ahead.
You have all your memories and life details uploaded when you die, to then give yourself your own afterlife so to speak via a multi national company of course.
Where it gets interesting is that what money you have will determine the level of comfort you have in this software generated afterlife
So it makes it rather an interesting thing to see what it could be like.
Personally i don't think I would want to go for it.
My partner however says she would.
Take a look and tell me your thoughts on it.

[Orema]

Watching Little Fish (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0382810/?ref_=ttfc_fc_tt) with Cate Blanchett, Sam Neill, and Noni Hazlehurst on Pluto TV.

I like Blanchett and always enjoy Hazlehurst. So far it’s okay.

From IMDB.com: Set in the Little Saigon district outside of Sydney, a woman (Blanchett) trying to escape her past becomes embroiled in a drug deal.

"NetFlix" ( geez, it's only 7 letters and yet every time I have to type it I go into crisis mode )

I'm enjoying another one of those police procedurals that the Brits do so very well, " Scott and Bailey ". Some 16 hours into binge watching the series, I'm still not tired of the two female protagonists but I have given up hope that they will eventually "discover" each other.

Suranne Jones aka "Bailey" is the lead in HBO's Gentleman Jack.

Set in the year 1832 in Yorkshire, Gentleman Jack stars Jones as landowner and industrialist Anne Lister. The series is based on the collected diaries of Lister, which contain over four million words and are written largely in secret code, documenting a lifetime of lesbian relationships.

Watching _The Mandalorian_. I know, I know, I've already seen it, but it's just So Good! (Disney+)

Also watching _Kim's Convenience_, a Canadian sitcom about a Korean-Canadian family that owns a convenience store. It's interesting and pretty funny. (Netflix)

Just finished _Aggretsuko_, a josei-type anime about a red bear (I think) who lives in the big city and is looking for love. Also, her passion is singing death metal karaoke. It's really funny and cute, and the bite-sized 15 minute episodes are easy to digest. I really recommend you give this one a try, if you're the rom-com type.

Last night I watched the 1st episode of Mrs. American

Mrs. America tells the story of the movement to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), and the unexpected backlash led by a conservative woman named Phyllis Schlafly, aka “the sweetheart of the silent majority.” Through the eyes of the women of the era – both Schlafly and second wave feminists Gloria Steinem, Betty Friedan, Shirley Chisholm, Bella Abzug and Jill Ruckelshaus – the series explores how one of the toughest battlegrounds in the culture wars of the 70s helped give rise to the Moral Majority and forever shifted the political landscape.

I was not as politically involved back then as I am now, so even tho I lived thru all that, I am playing catch up I guess one could say.

[cinnamongrrl]

I feel like this is more of a confession but.....

I am nuts about Kim's Convenience. I really enjoy seeing the two different generations of Koreans/Korean-Canadians living in North America/Canada. Mr. Kim's relationship with his son is similar to mine—I totally understand his stubbornness and I get the son's reluctance to connect with him. I also like seeing the Asians from China, India, and Korea interact with each other. More than anything, I like not seeing the typical stereotypes I often see on many programs here in the States.

I've started watching _Killing Eve_ on Hulu. I didn't know Sandra Oh was in it, or I would have watched it sooner! (Love her.) I'm not a big fan of police procedurals, but it's as much or more action than police procedural. Very well scripted and acted, as you would expect from BBC America. The basic premise is that Eve (Sandra Oh) gets picked to move from MI5 to MI6 (Britain's international intelligence agency). She's been obsessed with following a female serial killer, who is a total psychopath. The psychopath realizes she's being tracked, and Eve and the psychopath end up stalking each other. I definitely recommend this one.

This afternoon they showed the movie "Lady Sings the Blues" on reg. tv. I had forgotten what a fabulous movie it was and the job that Diana Ross did was incomparable. This 1972 movie was worth a second watch and I thoroughly enjoyed it as much as the first time. One of the great older movies.

[homoe]

A big international pharma company is at the centre of the new and first-rate thriller Acceptable Risk a six-part mini-series. It's a conspiracy thriller, a co-production between companies in Canada and Ireland, and set in Montreal and Dublin.

The gist is this: A man, Lee Manning , a top executive for Gumbiner-Fischer, a giant pharma company, with headquarters in Dublin, is in Montreal for a meeting. He's got a sensitive file he needs to discuss with somebody. He's given a ride from the hotel to the meeting. Hours later, he's found dead on a Montreal street, shot in the head.

He'd called his wife Sarah in Dublin just before the car ride to express his love and affection. It is Sarah who becomes the central figure in this slow-burning, complicated thriller. She used to work for Gumbiner-Fischer and, while she knows a lot about the company and some of its dark secrets, she always kept her distance from Lee's ultra-sensitive work and travel.

Informed of his death by an Irish police officer, Detective Sergeant Emer Byrne (Angeline Ball, best known outside of Ireland for Mr. Selfridge and The Commitments), she realizes that she actually knows very little about the man she married.

It was VERY good and even tho it did air on Acorn I think we watched it on Netflix

[GeorgiaMa'am]

I just finished Love, Victor on Hulu and I loved it. It's a coming-of-age, coming-out story. Victor and his family move from Texas to Atlanta, and Victor starts his sophomore year at a new high school. He's confused about being straight or gay, and the angst ensues. His sister and little brother add to the mix, and his parents are having troubles of their own.

It's extremely well-made, and reminds me somewhat of My So-Called Life. Yes, it's about high school, but I enjoyed seeing what the kids these days are into. And, it's a love story.

If you're doubtful about watching a show about high school kids, just remember why adults are still reading/watching Romeo and Juliet hundreds of years after it was written - it reminds us what it's like to be young and in love.

What haven't I watched would be a better question, I suppose. I found The Chef's Line today and watched through the Vietnamese challenges, which made me hungry. I've finished Alexa & Katie, a family series about a 14 year old with Leukemia and her journey through treatment and the 4 years of high school. I've gone through Crazy Delicious and wondered why the host and "food gods" never change clothes, as well as the entire first season of Blown Away, a glass blowing competition. I've re-watched the first 12 seasons of Criminal Minds and am going back through NCIS again as well. I also found Say I Do last night, which is another wedding show but it has Jeremiah, who I adore, and the first two episodes were really good and kind of gutted me in a good way. I cried along right with the brides, especially the first one. I started Fire Saga but haven't gotten far. My attention span dictates short bursts right now so a movie is just not working for me. I might go back to the Adventures of Sabrina. I was quite a few episodes into it when I stopped watching. This is all on Netflix.

Hi everyone.
I would like to say that i firmly believe everyone should watch this documentary.
Its about transgender people.
Our community needs to be a bit more aware of the struggles that are faced by transgender people, so it gives us more chance to understand.
I am not transgender myself but this documentary really did teach me a whole lot.
We all face our own struggles in life, but has a community we should be helping to heal each other and move forwards.
Please spread the word about this documentary.
Its a must watch.

I just finished this on Netflix. It's a short (6 ep) series about an immigration facility in Australia, telling the stories of a couple of 'inmates' as well as a few of the people in charge. It's not an easy watch because of the stories (based on real events), yet I had to continue. Powerful, emotional and … I'm suffering a bit of a Stateless hangover at the moment. Highly recommended!

I've yet to come across an Aussie series that hasn't been fully worth my time.

[Ginger]

I very strongly recommend the movie Luce. It came out a couple years ago, and I remember hearing the buzz then but didn't get to it till last night. Kind of stage-y at times (I like that) meaning dialogue carries the drama; people try to figure each other out as the viewer tries to figure them out.

I'm still not sure I "got" the message — and that's the beauty of its ambiguity; the characters are layered in their portrayal and I found that mesmerizing. I know this all sounds very abstract but I do recommend Luce. It's on Hulu now.

[clementinefemme]

Update on Down to Earth: I just watched the first episode and while it's not exactly rife with information about how to live sustainably, it's a fun travel show.

70 million people around the world now are fleeing war, brutal patriarchal regimes, torture, starvation — and have found themselves in the dehumanizing limbo of a detention center or refugee camp.

Add to that equation a middle-class flight attendant fleeing a dangerous cult — and who makes a series of self-destruction choices that are a function of her burgeoning mental illness — and you have Stateless on Netflix.

The white woman finds herself in a devastatingly bleak detention center in Australia along with people including a family fleeing Afghanistan, where the young daughters are in danger of being forced into marriage, via Pakistan and a tragic boat ride to Australia's barrier reef.

The guards at the prison range from the stupid and cruel woman who is in charge, to a man who wrestles with his conscience at what he sees on the inside.

The importance of public protest and activism in support of the vulnerable people inside the facility is key to the story and a reminder that it does mean something when we speak out publicly for the rights of those who are powerless.

I cried through the whole thing, and it was fascinating. Cate Blanchett produced the series and plays the wife of the cult leader. The actors are incredible.

The Trust (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3733774/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1) on Netflix with Nicholas Cage and Elijah Wood. It’s about two cops, one who’s optimistic and the other not so much, who pull a heist.

Cage has become a caricature, IMHO, but it works in this film. Wood kept me interested but he’s an actor I don’t know well.

Nothing to write home about, but worth the time if you don[t have anything else to do.

I had a conversation at work one day as to what every has been watching..Married at First Sight was mentioned. I was like, really? Seriously?

Well, I checked it out. Season 9. I have been quite surprised that it's pretty interesting. So many conversations with professionals that are relationship orientated. Great advice. Some
of it has opened my eyes as to how I react to situations. Good stuff 😉

If two is a trend then brilliant but crazy female leads is definitely a trend...Marcella" (doesn't get much screwier) and "Homeland (almost as screwy) are trend leaders.

Such interesting characters dealing with brilliant plot twists...but do they really have to be so nuts? I suppose that brilliant successful stable female characters aren't threatening enough to make for good entertainment.

What next? Women reclaim "hysteria" as a viable way to get into show biz?

I join you in frustration at the prevalence of female leads who struggle with mental illness with some caveats.

Homeland is one my favorite streaming series, and Carrie's mental illness only deepens her character in my view. This is a tribute to her stunning acting ability.

On the other hand, I just started Marcella and have an opposite reaction. I find the lead character's apparent mental illness off-putting. Her sudden bouts of violence, happening in blackout episodes (not alcohol related) seem gratuitous, plot-wise.

Maybe that's because she doesn't seem to have much remorse regarding the impact of her violence on other people. So far, I just think she's an asshole (I'm only on the third episode).

But back to your point — my question would be, has anyone collected data on this? How many male versus female leads are mentally ill? I'd like to know if it's just perception or something that can be quantified.

To get some context, I just looked up the stats on mental illness in the U.S. and to give one example, 5.7 million adults, or about 2.6% of the population age 18 and older, are diagnosed as bipolar, and about one in five of them commit suicide.

This is from the National Alliance on Mental Illness:

--19.1% of U.S. adults experienced mental illness in 2018 (47.6 million people). This represents 1 in 5 adults.

--4.6% of U.S. adults experienced serious mental illness in 2018 (11.4 million people). This represents 1 in 25 adults.

--16.5% of U.S. youth aged 6-17 experienced a mental health disorder in 2016 (7.7 million people)

--3.7% of U.S. adults experienced a co-occurring substance use disorder and mental illness in 2018 (9.2 million people)

I was not surprised to learn that. I'm also guessing that with 30 to 40 million people out of jobs because of the pandemic and only 20 million on unemployment, there must be a lot of people without health insurance who are living with untreated mental illness. This makes me angry at our government and sad for them.

TV and film reflects real life so ... it makes sense that a certain proportion of characters would be mentally ill in one way or another. Is that proportion skewed to female leads? That's a good question.

Nothing to write home about, but worth the time if you don[t have anything else to do.

I can't help it; I like Cage. Is he a great actor? No way, but I like the type of movies in which he excels (Gone in 60 Seconds, Con Air, Guarding Tess, Ghost Rider, The Sorcerer's Apprentice, etc). They are like cotton candy for my brain. No thinking allowed!

Elijah has done a lot. He's been in music videos from Paula Abdul to The Beastie Boys, plus TV and of course, the Lord of the Rings series. I think that's where most people know him. I liked him as Mumble in Happy Feet and in Cooties.

I've dipped my toes in a lot of Netflix ponds lately. I watched Cursed and it was okay but not super great. I've watched some movies but seem to find the ones that were made elsewhere and have English dubs so the words I hear don't match the movements of the actors' mouths nor the actual English subtitles so that's distracting. I finished a one season series called Flinch, which was kind of awesome if you are feeling a bit mean spirited and like to see people scream and be freaked out for no particularly good reason. I watched a couple episodes of The Chase but can't stand the "Beast". I watched all 4 seasons of the Beauty and the Beast remake. It was good for a bit and then became repetitive, which is why they went from 22 episodes a season down to 13, I suppose. Plus, I kept wanting them to even out the lead actor's facial hair. Also distracting.

I'm still working my way through Fear The Walking Dead, which I like. I'm on season 4 and still have season 5 to go; I understand it has been renewed for a 6th season (although production is on hiatus due to COVID19). I don't see how they can get from here (mid- 4th season) to six seasons though; a lot of the main characters have been killed off, and a bunch of others seem to be on a road trip to meet up with the original The Walking Dead. What we're getting now (mid- 4th season) is a bunch of one-shot episodes whose story arcs begin and end in the same episode.

I'm also making a second attempt at Sense 8. I just couldn't get into it after the first episode, but I noticed it's on season 3 now, and decided to give it another try. I'm on episode 6 now, so I guess I'll stick it out for at least awhile and see how it goes. It's making a little more sense now than it did after just the first episode.

"One Day At A Time" (2019) is trending now on Netflix. The trailer says it has a new season. However, only the first three seasons are showing up on the drop-down menu. PopTV picked up the series after Netflix dropped it, and 7 episodes of season 4 are on the PopTV website. (www.poptv.com) Don't know exactly what is going on, but I'm really glad this Emmy-nominated series is back. Rita Moreno is awesome, and watching the daughter navigate her way through her teenage years as a lesbian/queer dating a TG is pretty interesting and funny.

I saw the first season on cable and really liked it. I see it's got a second season on Netflix that I want to check out.

Currently, I'm watching The Legends of Tomorrow and just started season 4, which is where I picked it up on cable so some episodes are familiar. Also, I just started watching Love on the Spectrum, which is about dating whilst on the Autism and Asperger's spectrum. My favorite person on the whole show is Michael. He's the best part of the show, I think.

I've been binge watching Lost on Hulu for the last three days. I remember watching a few episodes when it first aired all those years ago but for whatever reason, didn't stick with it. Now, I'm hooked. And, considering there are six seasons, it should keep me entertained for a little while at least. hehe

[Build A Bridge]

Now, I just need to say, I don't watch it because of the skimpy outfit. I am actually not so attracted to that look. However, I can relate to theses confident, intelligent, and passionate women who are working hard to achieve their dreams. I got hooked on the tv show:

The Dallas Cowboy's Cheerleaders: Making the Team series

those women work their tails off!! It is only fitting that they demanded better pay! and looooordt! I could never move like that.. let alone in cowgirl boots! Kudos to them

I finished season 5 of Lucifer. They tried a few new things that I feel are going to be polarizing for some. I am anxious for season 6. According to Newsweek, COVID-19 may actually speed things up so instead of getting season 6 at the end of 2021, we might get it as early as next August. I wish it weren't the last season but I see how they can only go so far. I love this show so much!

I'm not a horror movie kinda girl but lately I've been in that mood, might be the rain might be Autumn around the corner... at any rate, I tried to watch Wishmaster this afternoon. Nope, didn't work for me. The last scary movie I saw that I enjoyed was the above post which was pretty good, and An American Haunting which was very good, it's an older movie from 2005 but it didn't feel dated. I'm open to any horror movie recommendations.

Clementine, Hannah set the bar high with "Nanette" but "Douglas" was still good. I love her art history bits so I'd recommend it based on that alone. It did make me go back and watch "Nanette" again and that is perhaps what made me appreciate her sophomore Netflix special all the more.

I thought they handled Marilyn Monroes Death tastefully

I liked there was no visual of her,but a radio comentater expressing her political views and activisim regarding management/bosses in Hollywood

Also the grief,watching how much she was loved and admired by women,and the impact of her death.
I was 2 when she died and Australian,so I found it interesting seeing,just how much impact she had in the US.

Binge watching a CBS TV show called The Unicorn on CBS All Access. It’s about a widower whose friends want to see him “move on” after his wife’s death, often by setting him up on dates.

The 40 Year Old Version - Excellent - Netflix :movieguy:

From The Atlantic - “ Making movies about creativity is difficult; making them about creative frustration is harder still. Radha Blank accomplishes just that with her new film, The 40-Year-Old Version, debuting on Netflix today. It follows a playwright stuck in a years-long rut, searching for new ways to express herself. Her journey is difficult, and Blank is invested in showing just how hostile the artistic world can be to someone like herself, a Black female artist uninterested in the grim material her industry wants from her. But The 40-Year-Old Version depicts all that frustration with bubbly, knowing wit; it’s a breezy comedy about not knowing what to do with your life.”

[cinnamongrrl]

I’ve been getting lucky finding engaging stories on Prime of late. I’ve also taken some time off from work and actually have time to peruse the offerings. In the last couple weeks I’ve watched and enjoyed:

Youth in Oregon...a really engaging and interesting movie regarding human euthanasia

The Goldfinch....which was a book I always wanted to read and now I think I shall. Incredible movie

Like Sunday Like Rain... the plot fell apart but I muddled through

Witness to 9/11...first hand account of a tragic day

The Bray Road Beast.... first hand accounts of a supposed werewolf like creature(s) in Wisconsin

Facing East....dismal true story about cemetery mismanagement

Addicted to Food: Sharons Story.....sad story :(

306 Hollywood... documentary made by the grandchildren of a recently deceased woman. Very artfully done as the granddaughter is a film student. This was a gem to find.

Mourning Son.... true story about guitarist Dave Navarro and his mother who was murdered by her ex boyfriend.

The Perfect Victim..... documentary about incarcerated women who killed abusive spouses/partners.

Lord Lucan.... a murder mystery from the 70s ( I think?) gets light shed on it by the wife of the accused murderer.

Missing 411....strange stories of hunters who have disappeared over the course of many decades.

Ted Buddy: Falling for a killer.....fascinating stories from an ex girlfriend of Ted Bundy (and her daughter)

Watched the 60 Minutes interview with Trump on CBS Access last night. Leslie Stahl did a good job (excellent compared to most journalists) of showing how off the rails he is when asked direct questions.

Also watched CSI on CBS Access and on Pluto TV. The focus on scientific evidence is a relief from politics. Too bad they didn’t bring on Ted Danson sooner to CSI Cyber (and toss Bow Wow) or the Cyber series may have lasted longer. It ended just as I was starting to like it.

And Divorce Court with Lynn Toler on Pluto TV. That is the most unusual court setting I’ve seen on tv. Looks like a court from the Star Trek series. I like Judge Toler. Have a book she wrote on lessons her mama taught her. Very good.

The Vow on HBO.

The last company I worked at had a couple similarities to Nxivm. Some coworkers and I have been watching The Vow and commenting on it. Though we were sometimes called a cult by competitors, we weren’t. Like these people, our company was Gung Ho! about the work we did. That’s where the similarities ended. There we no sex parties (at least none I was invited to) nor any threats to those who left the company. I stopped watching after the fourth episode. I lost interest once they started branding the women. Also, he was sentenced yesterday. Just too much to stomach for me.

There are 8 or 9 episodes and it could have been done in 4.

It wasn’t done as well as most other docu-dramas by HBO and the series didn’t give me anything I didn’t get in the tabloid papers.

No candy for me. I've cut my sugar intake. Won't get together with family either. We live several states apart and most are elderly. We communicate safely via the postal service.

I bookmarked a Netflix Christmas movie that I want to see. I think it will just hit the spot for "awwwwww" moments and smarminess. I need some of that right now. It's named _Holidate_, and it's in the Top 10 movies for today on Netflix. Guess lots of other people in this country could use some "awwwwww".

On a totally different vibe, I just watched the first two episodes of _Ratched_ on Netflix. So well done! This neo-noir psychological thriller is about Nurse Ratched (from _One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest_) in her early days. It has a very _American Horror Story_ feel, which makes sense as a lot of the same creators and artists are involved in this project. And the sets and outfits are delicious eye candy!

I saw the ads for Ratched and agree that it seems to have a very AHS feel to it.

I saw Holidate and it was really well done. Emma Roberts is good and it's got enough holidays in it to choke a horse. It's also NOT in the style of Hallmark so it's more relatable, I feel. I hope you like it!

Last night, I got hooked on Dash & Lily and watched the whole series in one night. To be fair, there are only 8 episodes and each of them is less than half an hour long but I finished it very quickly. I was a bit disappointed that there wasn't more but with the storyline, there really wasn't anywhere else to take the story without feeling forced and/or contrived. It was so adorable and I completely related to the weird teenager vibe. I've carried that vibe with me since birth, I think. Oh, and Fred Savage directed half of the episodes. I loved that.

It was so adorable and I completely related to the weird teenager vibe. I've carried that vibe with me since birth, I think. Oh, and Fred Savage directed half of the episodes. I loved that.

My two sons and I really liked The Wonder Years. Glad to hear that Fred Savage is still around. Thanks for sharing about Dash & Lily! :balloon:

What started as classroom film project is now being shown on HBO, by a first time documentary director.

Here is a link to the story on ABC news: https://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/wireStory/time-director-explores-mothers-murder-docuseries-74190205?cid=clicksource_4380645_7_heads_posts_hea dlines_hed

It airs this Sunday, first in a four part series.

Big Little Lies Season 3 is unlikely, but possible.

Last year, the show's creator David E. Kelley said that there's "no such plan" for another season, but Nicole Kidman says she and Reese Witherspoon are "exploring" the idea...:hangloose:

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Last night, I got hooked on Dash & Lily and watched the whole series in one night.

I finally watched the first episode of _Dash & Lily_ because Netflix keeps throwing it at me. Cute! This will be my Christmas "hokey" escape.

Tin Star

A bit of everything, it is loosely related to Canada, England, cops, family, oil companies, shady pasts, and violence. Every episode seems to have some creepy, some sadness, omg wow, a wtf???, and an amusing bit.

Entertaining, Prime.

I watched the first four episodes of _Gentefied_ on Netflix. I wasn't sure I could get into it, but I seem to be stuck now. It's about a Mexican-American family and their family restaurant. Lots of cooking in this show, which I usually like. Lots of family drama, which I sometimes like. Not as funny as I had hoped.

[dark_crystal]

We have been watching IN THE DARK, i think it is on HBO. To me it is a little like FLEABAG with a blind lady.

I am not sure it is that great or if i just really love looking at Perry Mattfeld (the main character, Murphy). She looks a LOT like Jennifer Aniston, but edgier?

Also, the best friend/roommate is a lesbian and the show does a nice job with her character. She is played by Brooke Markham, who is full-figured, which is never mentioned. Love that.

I finished _Gentefied_. It actually turned out to be pretty good - I binged the last four episodes. It just took me awhile to get into it. Also, they just got renewed for a second season!

Just started watching _Atypical_ on Netflix. I'm only partway into episode 2, but I can tell this is going to be a good one! Heartfelt, good ensemble cast, and funny!

LOVE, LIES & RECORDS

Emmy® nominee Ashley Jensen (Agatha Raisin) stars in this heartwarming drama about a register office, where people record births, marriages, and deaths. Registrar Kate Dickenson juggles a hectic home life while dealing with the emotional toll of her job--and contends with a jealous colleague who could jeopardize her career and relationships.

We binged this, as it's only 6 poolsides, and loved it!

No word if there is going to be a season 2 or not as of yet!

[Bèsame*]

Catching up on my regular stuff.

This Is Us...wearing masks.
I've noticed commercials with masks, even a few Holiday ones.

I started Dash&Lily..so cute!

I recently discovered an app that I find helpful so I thought I would share it, Just Watch (https://www.justwatch.com/us) is a one stop search app for a wide variety of streaming services. I just search for the title I’m looking for and it lists where it can be found and whether or not there may be associated costs or free trials available.

This led me to my second discovery and that is that through Amazon prime I can do temporary subscriptions to other services “channels“ and manage subscriptions from there. I wanted to see something on Showtime and used a seven day free trial for that. Of course, that led me to see what some of the other offerings there were and now I am subscribing for one month to catch up on a couple of things. :seconddoh:

It’s very possible that all this is stuff that everybody else has known for ages but it’s new to me and very helpful.

I binge watched The Queen’s Gambit on Netflix a couple days ago. What a great series. I wasn’t expecting it to be as good as it was. There were so many opportunities for it to be a train wreck and instead it exceeded my expectations.

I sat down to watch one episode and four hours later I was still watching the series. It was easy to gobble up in two days. I love when images and voices stay with me after I’ve watched something good...

Great job done by all and I look forward to seeing it again.

The acting. The music. The set designs. And the fashions !! Very good😉

Billions, watched the first few seasons a while back, financial soap opera, just caught up on the last two seasons on Showtime.

Now watching Transparent which I never saw any of before. When everyone was seeing it a few years ago I was too busy with other things. Really enjoying it now, 3 episodes in. Prime.

What a great courtroom testifying ending.....:hangloose:


If ONLY the book that it was based on, You Should Of Known was half as good

[VintageFemme]

Happiest Season w/ Kristen Stewart on Hulu. Little cheesy but cute, and cheesy is okay this time of year.

FX Networks version of A Christmas Carol on Hulu too. I'd seen it last year but watched it again last night. It is becoming a tradition in my house. Such a great version with just the right amount of haunting and gorgeous cinematics. Best I've ever seen, though not for children.

[Lecheloco]

So I binged on the Queens Gambit, and I believe I may have a new crush
I agree Orema very well done I was thinking the same thing with every cool car or hotel scene set, the colors and vibe really well made series

But the lead character wow she has me enthralled


So next up to watch I can’t find anything catching my attention so I might watch Gabriel Iglesias new comedy skit
Anyone have any suggestions?

Rico and I have been watching season two of the Taco Chronicles (https://www.netflix.com/title/81040704).

e_lF-kQ_7YI

There is a few street taco stands in the metro area and sometimes we drop by and pick up street tacos which are delightful and delicious. We miss dining al fresco but thank heavens for carry out service. Rico is working on honing his culinary skills for making his version of street Tacos. Until he master's making Tacos, at least there is a few places to go to get some awesome street tacos!

I saw an excerpt from Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee with Jerry Seinfeld and Eddie Murphy and was CTFU. I love good comedians and nice cars so I'll be at Netflix watching seasons of that for awhile. Please let us know if you see anything worth checking out.

[Lecheloco]

I ran across One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest, I was so excited because I remembered this movie as so funny, but right when he is having his first encounter with nurse Ratchet I am already questioning my younger self and what I thought was so funny so I stopped watching, I may try again before it disappears on the 31st

[Semantics]

Taboo on Hulu.

I wasn't expecting it to be so good. I watched it twice in a row straight through. It's excellent.

I love Gabriel Iglegias! I didn't know he had anything new out now. I'll have to check it out.

As far as suggestions go, I can't help you. I fell into the trash TV well and am just now dragging myself back out of it. I wouldn't feel right sending someone else down there.

[Kelt]

Last night I watched the Big Lebowski because I have seen cultural references to it many times and wondered what the fuss was about. I still wonder what the fuss is about.

I am also currently watching Voices of Fire on Netflix about the selection of a large gospel choir.

“In the reality series Voices Of Fire, Bishop Ezekiel Williams — who we first see credited as “Pharrell’s uncle” — is looking to put together the best 75-member gospel choir that the country has ever seen. That’s 25 each of sopranos, altos and tenors, all from the Hampton Roads, VA area. His aim is to not only find the best voices, but to make the choir as diverse as he possibly can, consisting of people who, as he says, might not hear one of his sermons, but might be moved by the power of music.”

I’m not religious and generally stay away from reality tv but am enjoying this series. Will watch season finale tonight, there might be a season 2 in the works.

[VintageFemme]

I watched The Upside on Showtime last night. What a beautiful movie. It's been a very long time since a movie touched me that sweetly. Loved it.

The story of Oakland A's general manager Billy Beane's successful attempt to put together a baseball club on a budget by employing computer-generated analysis to draft his players.

I subscribed to CBS all access for Star Trek discovery and I loved it, surprised they would put it on Netflix but I’m upset with CBS for not letting me finish the last 3 seasons of Criminal Minds


Did anyone see they made a spin-off to One Flew over the Cukoos nest? Called Nurse Ratched she snaps apparently, now I may need to get through the movie to catch up

I Am Not Okay With This (2020) is a series I found on Netflix starring Sofia Bryant, Richard Ellis and Sophia Lillis based on the comic book of the same name by Charles Forsman.

LQVQHLEPZQM

I like it, but there’s only one season. Second season was cancelled because of COVID-19.

From youtube: I Am Not Okay With This is an irreverent origin story that follows a teenage girl who's navigating the trials and tribulations of high school, all while dealing with the complexities of her family, her budding sexuality, and mysterious superpowers just beginning to awaken deep within her.

I'm trying to finish up/binge the last several seasons of _Dexter_. It's leaving Netflix this month, and I never got around to finishing it. I'm in the middle of season 6, and remembering what a well-made show this is.

Rico has seen Bird Box on Netflix, while I haven't; but I've read the book.

We both would like to see the sequel to Bird Box, if it somehow is released this year. We can hardly wait, lol.

Tradition: Jan. 1, Rose Parade, excited to see it was on.
SURPRISED, but wondered why no masks, and such huge crowds here in Southern Calif. where we are in stay at home orders. ????

UGH- It was the pre-recorded 2014 Rose Bowl, so I searched Netflix and found

COBRA KAI and Binge watched it till dark.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a good, bingeable series on Showtime? I recently subscribed so I could watch the last season of Dexter, and I plan to cancel before the end of the month unless I find something else really good to watch. I've already seen the following:

Queer as Folk
The L Word
Nurse Jackie
Homeland
Californication
Dead Like Me
Weeds
United States of Tara
The Big C
Jeremiah



Also, has anyone watched Moonbase 8? How was it?

I'm also open to suggestions for movies, but I'm really more of a series person. Thanks!

I signed up recently, too, and are a couple of suggestions

I'm Dying Up Here. I'm currently watching this and enjoying it. It's about the Los Angeles stand-up comedy scene in the 1970s. You may like this based on your list.)

This American Life (I used to listen to the podcast and will start watching this in the next day or so and you may like this based on your list.)

Will let you know if I see some other things you might like after I get into some series.

This now has caught my attention. Already on episode 3 of 8. A quick one to enjoy. Listen closely, classical covers of modern hits playing in the background. I heard Maroon 5, Ariana Grande and Taylor Swift versions :)

The Chi, Season 3, Episode 1, on Showtime.

Much better than I expected. It opens with a lovely wedding and a sad funeral. With an outstanding performance by Sonja Sohn. She should be nominated for an Emmy. Looking forward to binge-watching the rest of the season.

On Hulu Mary found something called Sister.

It starts out good in the first 2 episodes, then unless you're interested in if someone can create a, 'ghost' it goes downhill IMHO!

Ozark is so good. I’m late on this, am binge watching and midway in season 2, enjoying all these fools, especially Buddy—he’s my favorite.

[cinnamongrrl]

I binged on I’ll Be Gone in the Dark.

It’s an HBO documentary which I streamed via Prime. Great story about a woman’s considerable consumption of her desire to resolve unsolved rapes and murders in the 70s and 80s in California.

I started watching Heartland on Netflix. I'm only on the first season, episode 4, but it seems kind of like a soap opera for horsey people. I think it's supposed to be heartwarming, but they haven't roped me in yet. (See what I did there? :| ) I haven't decided if I will stick with it or not. I decided to give it a chance because it's got 13 seasons - somebody must like it a lot, right?

First season with Jessica Biel, excellent!

Hollywood: A Celebration of the American Silent Film

a 13 part series on various topics on silent movies (1914-1928), such as stars, censorship, directors, stunts. It was made in 1980 when some of the silent stars were still alive to be interviewed.

[Stone-Butch]

A &E new programme... Clarise.. a follow up of Silence of the Lambs. Great show.

[FireSignFemme]

Hotel Impossible – Warning! Not for the faint of heart. This is the show to watch if you have a strong stomach, have neglected your housekeeping and let things slide a bit. It will leave you feeling like an incredible housekeeper. That and never wanting to sleep in another motel/hotel again. Unless you have thousands of dollars to spend on equipment similar to the type evidence seeking crime scene investigators use. Moral of the story, all things considered there's no place like home.
