Grace and Frankie, American Dad, Columbo, Twilight Zone, Bob's Burgers, and Archer right now on Netflix. I just got Amazon Prime, so we'll see what's on there later. :D

I am so glad I read this thread tonight. I am watching Bloodlines and I love it! I am also a longtime fan of Sissy Spacek. She is a great actress! I like Sam Shepard too.

I am glad that you all are enjoying and appreciating it.

I try to turn as many people onto it as possible, because it is so good and deserves to be seen!

Currently binge watching Rectify, Narcos, Sense8 and Wentworth. Looks like I'll be adding Bloodline to see what all the fuss is about! :blink:

Binging TV series is like my favorite recreational activity now. I would rather binge a series than go to a restaurant, go dancing, or go to the movies

what can I say, I'm 46

"Bloodline" is GOOD

I forgot about "Wentworth!" Will add that to the list. I also have "The American"s queued up on Amazon video

Last week we binged "The Girlfriend Experience" but we didn't finish it. Not because it wasn't good, but because the episodes are only 30 minutes long at that was irritating. I am too lazy to have to click "watch next episode" more than once an hour

It is my job to always keep a list of potentially bingable series so I can distract Mr. Jenny from HGTV, which gets on my nerves lol

Great minds... Love all the shows you listed. Still waiting on a season 2 of Sense8 and the next season of Wentworth. Rectify is really good but I could not watch more than a couple at a time. It is pretty heavy drama.

Narcos was terrific. I still can't find when season 2 will stream yet.

I think that you will enjoy Bloodline.

Oh and Peaky Blinders is just terrific. They are showing season 3 in the UK now I read somewhere so it will stream on Netflix when finished...sometime in the near future.

I have posted about this before but if anyone has Amazon Prime, The Man in the High Castle from a Phillip K Dick story is terrific. There are around 10 episodes, if I recall correctly.

So many great shows and so little time.

:scarytv:

Great thread!

I have been binge watching The Killing (On Netflix) and I highly recommend that. Also, The Man in the High Castle, Mad Dogs, How to get away with Murder, The Americans. These are only a few but a great way to get started!

Season 3 Peaky Blinders on Netflix May 31st!
 

Terrific series about a murderous English street gang, set in Birmingham in 1919, staring Cillian Murphy as the crime lord and the Inspector, (not a sterling character himself) out to get him (Sam Neil).

Update, no spoilers just renewal info
 

Peaky Blinders Renewed For 4th & 5th Seasons Amid Host Of BBC Drama Orders


The Shelby clan is set to return for two more seasons with Peaky Blinders receiving a double order from BBC Two. Season 3 is currently running in the UK with the epic crime saga created by Steven Knight and starring Cillian Murphy due to bow Stateside on Netflix on May 31.

There’s currently no word on Netflix’s role in Seasons 4 and 5, although it wouldn’t be surprising to see it follow suit on picking up the popular drama.

Each new season will be six episodes, all written by Knight. The Caryn Mandabach Productions and Tiger Aspect Drama series has a rabid worldwide fanbase, having sold in 163 countries via Endemol Shine International. It’s distributed by The Weinstein Co in the U.S.

Tom Hardy, Helen McCrory, Paul Anderson, Sophie Rundle and Joe and Finn Cole are among the returning cast for Season 3 which also adds Paddy Considine.

Exec producer Caryn Mandabach calls the renewals “a fantastic vote of confidence in the show and Steven Knight’s writing… We’re both proud of, and grateful for, the BBC’s continued support of the show.”

Knight adds, “I am genuinely thrilled at the response to the third series of the show. The prospect of writing series four and five is truly exciting. This is a real passion project for me and I look forward to telling more stories of the Shelby family.”

Murphy calls Tommy Shelby “one of the most intense, challenging characters I’ve had the opportunity to play. I’m particularly grateful that Steven’s original, dynamic writing and the long form series allow me to explore Tommy in depth. I very much look forward to Tommy’s evolution over the next two chapters.”

Amazon Prime has Veep with Julia-Louise Dreyfus.

I started watching Veep on HBO recently and laughed so much I looked for it on Amazon.

They have season 1 and season 2 free with Prime.

I have a femme crush on Julia.

Tonight I watched Take me Home.

It was a very good movie. It's been a while since I've seen anything decent

Peaky Blinders season 3 (holy crap!)
Grantchester
Coocoo
You Me and the Apocalypse

Holy crap indeed!

I just finished episode 5 of season 3. One more to go.

I don't know if you saw an older post that I made but BBC just gave the green-light for seasons 4 and 5.

Such a great series and Cillian Murphy is something else!

Such a great actor and blue eyes for days!

Bob Ross is on Netflix now!!!!! Woot! I love that man! So thrilled by that...lmfao...

I've been on a Revenge binge. I'm at the end of season 2 and it's omg good.

I'm rewatching all of the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Lost World episodes....because Rachel Blakely is so h-h-hot!

Oh wow, just finished episode 6.

The tension was almost overwhelming!

What a series!!

I can hardly wait for season 4.

I streamed two episodes of Columbo that were really good. The first was with Patrick McGoohan who was outstanding as the leader of a military school. The first few minutes were in total silence as we watched McGoohan set up the crime. McGoohan's acting and timing were impeccable to the point that I didn't want any dialogue--didn't want any distractions. The rest of the episode was pretty good, too. Really good acting by McGoohan.

The second episode was with Dick Van Dyke and I know he's a great comedian, but I forgot that he was (is) a good dramatic actor, too. He was really good as a resentful and bitter husband. And Larry Storch was in this episode as a driving instructor. I always liked Storch.

Peter Falk was good in both episodes, too. Some episodes were better than others, but these are two of the best in the series.

I've been watching Crossing Lines. I stumbled across it really...it's not bad.

"Capt. Louis Daniel assembles a squad of European law enforcement officers to help battle the explosion of international crime that accompanied the opening of borders by the European Union. Daniel calls on an old colleague, Carl Hickman -- a former NYPD detective who resigned when an injury on the job left him feeling betrayed -- to lead the team of five young cops who will travel to exotic locations in pursuit of vicious and elusive criminals. To survive in their dangerous field, the team members must get past their varied backgrounds and work as one."

I finally finished watching Revenge last night.

Awesome show. It was starting to dwindle in keeping my attention. The writing wasn't as good. I'm glad it went out while it was still decent.

Last Tango in Halifax. It's funny and touching in that British BBC way. I'm hoping it comes back for a 5th season.
MAJOR SPOILER ALERT!!!

They kill off one of the two lesbians as soon as they get married. It reminded me of the old days when, it might be okay to mention lesbians or gay men, but you can't let them have a happy ending. Arrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhh! But it was still a good series.

Now that I've finished Revenge, I'm back to watching OITNB (I'm only on season 2) and I've begun Blacklist. James Spader could have a show where he just mows lawns in his boxers and I would be enthralled.

Great actor. Even greater voice.

I just saw that season 12 of Grey's Anatomy is now on Netflix! I spent the entire summer watching the first 11 seasons - now I'm addicted. I just couldn't bring myself to watch it every week, though. (Yay for binge watching!)

I live/lived in Seattle and just could NEVER get into this show but glad others could and did!

Every show seems to do this, and I don't know why. :(

The GF loves this show (Grey's). I do not and could never get into it either. During the season, she watched it and I went upstairs to read.

Actually, the only hospital-based show I ever could get into and watched every week was ER.

Loved that show.

:nurseshot:

I have just finished watching a documentary by PBS called The Civil War. I learned about the civil war in school and found it something of an interest to me over the years. I knew the numbers lost. I knew that it was this war that divided and ultimately united us. I understood that it was more than the abolishment of slavery.

However, this telling of the war, the narration of so many letters, poems, and with the pictures of that time. Leaves me with a new understanding...that leaves me nearly speechless.

I'm ashamed to say that I watched "Scouts and Zombies" on Netflix last night. I laughed my fool head off...bloody, sexist, dumb, predictable and I couldn't stop laughing ...there must be something wrong with me...or else maybe I found the perfect antidote to the sexist, predictable Presidential election.

I highly recommend it.

Just started streaming season 1 of Line of Duty through Amazon Videos—it's a British TV police series's with Lennie James (only in season 1, I think). I like him a lot. Have only seen a couple episodes. Will be interesting to see how season 1 turns out.

LOL ok I'm not alone ... I was ridiculously excited to see this too. So therapeutic to watch him again, as super cheesy as he is.

I've been catching up on Grace & Frankie. So funny.

Queer As Folk - spoiler alert in 3rd paragraph
 

I've been re-watching Queer As Folk. I noticed some time ago it was on Netflix. Well, let me tell you, the soundtrack has been changed. I did some Googling, and it seems the QAF people were unable to get all the copyrights extended to Netflix. It was particularly disappointing, as I found the original soundtrack so excellent! and every song was so carefully selected to fit each scene. Also, a lot of that music is the music of my crazy youth, so it transported me back to a time (if not exact experience) that I have very fond memories of. So anyway, if you have the opportunity to go back to DVDs to re-watch it, I highly recommend it.

I have deliberately avoided watching this show for several years, because I loved it so much. I watched it many, many times when it was first available. It seems amazing that it has only been 15 years, and things have changed so much socially and politically since then. Or maybe that's just my perception, but - it feels different. Maybe the difference is really just my age.

So it has been a long time since I've seen it, and I've noticed that watching it is a different experience now. (Spoiler Alert!) For instance, . . .

. . . when Justin and Ethan first get together and Brian doesn't know about their relationship: the first time I saw it, I thought, "No! NO NO NO!" and thought Ethan was an evil character. I was definitely on Team "Brian and Justin 4-ever!". But when I saw it this time, I realized the Ethan relationship was actually a good thing (whatever happens later). Justin is only 18, and he has grown tired of many things about his relationship with Brian. He doesn't have the life experience to deal with an 'adult' relationship successfully. Justin _needed_ a different relationship. Even better, Ethan was nearly Justin's own age, and in similar school and financial situations. Justin benefited by not only leaving Brian, but also by not just going out and finding somebody else similar to Brian (which an awful lot of my gay friends have done in the past).

Anyway, even though I have seen QAF many times, here I go again! I find myself rambling on excitedly about the plot like I did 15 years ago. Some things never change. Thank goodness.

I'm gonna watch an episode or two of Black Market with Michael K. Williams.

Some actors are just that ACTORS! I mean Dustin Hoffman as an autistic in Rain Man...never bought it!!

However Michael K Williams is something much more, so much so, it's hard to even put into words! Right now he's also appearing in The Night Of on HBO and before that was on Boardwalk Empire, etc etc! Whatever role he takes on, he totally has me convinced he's that person, good or bad. :popcorn:

OH and I'm going to try to watch Big Stone Gap! For some reason, I just couldnt get into the book!

On recommendation from my Grandmother...
 

Just starting True Detective, Season 2 with Colin Farrell and Woody Harrelson

Criminal Minds and Shanarra.

I'm on season 3 of Orphan Black on Amazon prime video. I likey.

Also watching the wire but it's slow going.

Lately I don't seem to have the attention span for shows. I mostly watch at the gym on the elliptical.
