I'm watching Vera, a British cop show, right now. It's a little dark for me, but I love the main character.

I have cable tv again so tonight I’m watching The Chi and will watch or stream Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.

I also have Pluto TV through Roku and will finish watching a documentary on Bullying I started watching this morning.

I'm re-watching The Fosters on Netflix. I also watch This Is Us, Designated Survivor, Scandal, Will and Grace, Chicago Med and Chicago Fire, among others I may or may not be ashamed to name lol.

So many great shows.

I am enjoying and appreciating Being Serena. It is a documentary about the terrific Serena Williams. It's on Wednesday nights on HBO. I think I just finished episode 3. It includes her pregnancy, her marriage and coming back from almost dying after a pulmonary embolism following the emergency C-section of the baby. What an athlete!

I think Westworld is amazing. Last season I did not totally "get" what was going on. I do now but don't know where it is headed! Sunday nights, HBO. Oh, Silicon Valley. An absolute crack-up but I think this past Sunday was the end of this season.

On Showtime, new shows Vida and Sweetbitter. Also, I love Billions. Fantastic show. All on Sunday nights.

Wednesday nights on FX, the last season of the terrific show The Americans. I think Atlanta is terrific, too, but think last Thursday was the end of the season.

I've recorded a bunch of the critically acclaimed show Killing Eve on BBC America but haven't started them yet.

The Handmaid's Tale on Hulu. Scary, dystopian view of a god-fearing, right-wing, USA but excellent. Streaming each Wednesday.

Yes, I watch a lot of TV.

:scarytv:

I may of posted about Vida in another thread, but I too am enjoying this new show! In the PNW we get it on the Starz network on Sunday night.

I`m currently enjoying The Split on BBC.

I have been throughly enjoying this new series on Starz.

I mistakenly said it was on Showtime previously (thanks Chained Daisy for reminding me!).

The Americans.........
 

Tonight is the last episode......

The last ever episode? I got through the first season and then got busy. I figured I'd binge watch it once the show was cancelled.

Yup.........

Trollhunters ... is an animated show by Guillermo del Toro and was nominated for a daytime Emmy. Wow right?! lol :p I confess, I'm not convinced that either of those facts validates my watching a kids show but nevertheless ... it's fun! ;)

Oh, and Kelsey Grammer.. of Frasier fame... voices one of the characters!

I've just started watching DOC MARTIN. Fish outta water trope but still cute. From the UK...

Getting ready to watch The Letter with Bette Davis on TCM.

IMHO it was one of the dullest endings to a series I've ever seen BUT some writer in The New Yorker raved about it.......

Monday night..........
 

Dietland on AMC ...

AMC’s Dietland, developed by Marti Noxon, follows Alicia “Plum” Kettle, a plus-sized woman who finds herself mixed up in a tangle of feminist revolutionaries, cutthroat fashion executives, and terrorists, all while going a journey of self-discovery. The show is broadly faithful to Sarai Walker’s 2015 novel, but it adds a few new characters and revamps plot elements in ways that make Dietland more workable as a serial story.

I've never read the book, but so far I'm enjoying the series very much!

Sharp Objects....
 

Premiers on July 8, 2018 HBO starring Amy Adams and Patricia Clarkson

Reporter Camille Preaker returns to her hometown to cover the murders of two preteen girls; Camille finds herself identifying with the young victims while trying to solve a psychological puzzle from her past.

This is based on the book of the same name written by Gillian Flynn of Gone Girl fame. It is directed by Jean-Marc Vallée who also directed HBO's Big Little Lies.

Orange is the New Black Season 6
 

Has anyone watched the whole season? Thoughts?

I stopped watching Orange about halfway through S2 ... or maybe it was S3 ... because it got boring! Did it pick up? I've been meaning to go back and try it again.

I watched all of Season 6. Had to get into it but towards the end I find I had teary eyes and it was moving

oitnb
 

I thought season 6 was half good and half confusing. Creator :moonstars:Jenji Kohan did the same thing with Weeds. The writing started out hilarious, then she took some acid...

I've been watching american House of Cards with the nurse on Wednesdays........

August 28: A Day in the Life of a People - Tuesday, August 28 at 7 p.m. ET/PT on OWN
 

From YouTube:

Director Ava DuVernay’s short-form film entitled “August 28: A Day in the Life of a People” will make its national television debut on Tuesday, August 28 at 7 p.m. ET/PT on OWN. Starring Lupita Nyong’o, Angela Bassett, Don Cheadle, Regina King, David Oyelowo, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, André Holland, Michael Ealy and Glynn Turman, DuVernay’s 22-minute scripted film uses a robust combination of both documentary and narrative techniques to transport viewers through six stunning historical moments that all actually occurred on the same day in various years.

Written, produced and directed by DuVernay, “August 28” traverses a century of black progress, protest, passion and perseverance of African-American people. The project gives historical perspective within the creative framework of one date that has had a profound effect on America including: the passing of The Slavery Abolition Act on August 28, 1833, the lynching of Emmett Till on August 28, 1956, the first radio airplay from Motown Records on August 28, 1961 with The Marvelettes “Please Mr Postman,” Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have A Dream” speech during the massive March on Washington on August 28, 1965, Hurricane Katrina making its tragic landfall on August 28, 2005 and then-Senator Barack Obama’s acceptance of the Democratic nomination for the presidency on August 28, 2008.

I've been watching The 100 lately... It's getting interesting! Also been trying to catch up with OITNB..... This season seems boring?..... :|

Will watch Bob Woodward on Rachel Maddow ... will also see if I can find an epiisode of Atlanta with Katt Williams as Mr. Alligator. Katt just won an Emmy for his guest appearance as Mr. Alligator. He deserved it. It was an exceptionally funny episode because of Katt and I wanna see it again.

Hi Orema,

How are you? Thanks for reminding me. Just finished most recent Wentworth season. It was very good

Doing good, ProfPacker, and it’s good to see you ... I was going to watch Woodward on Maddow, but I’ve gotten sidetracked with a program called Voices from Inside the Towers on the History channel. It’s very good. I’ll catch a rerun of Maddow tomorrow ... Glad you enjoyed Wentworth.

Season 2 stars airing May 26th............

Home is where heart is, but sometimes it’s also where your forced to go back to. In the case of sisters Emma (Mishel Prada) and Lyn (Melissa Barrera) on the new Starz series Vida, that place is Eastside of Los Angeles. It’s in this setting that the two estranged sisters find themselves back in after the tragic death of their mom and, like all good television, the tragedy opens up a whole new set of problems, while also giving us some much-needed representation for queer Latin women.

As Starz describes it” “Vida is a half-hour drama series focusing on two Mexican-American sisters from the Eastside of Los Angeles who couldn’t be more different or distanced from each other.” When they’re forced to return home, “they are confronted by the past and surprising truth about their mother’s identity.”

For those of you who are waiting on Big Little Lies........

June 9, 2019 is the start of season 2...

today I watched PBS Masterpiece Theater's Les Miserables and yesterday I watched PBS Masterpiece Theater's Unforgotten. Both are great. I also watched the most recent episode of Killing Eve, love that show. And, now I am going to sleep.

Good News......
 

For us who have been watching Vida & Gentleman Jack....

Both have been re-newed!

Carmen
 

Am presently watching precorded Carmen (Bizet) with Clémentine Margaine singing the lead at the Met; this is her signature role, and I found a youtube video with her in that part in the same production by Eyre, one I really am not fond of, but Margaine steals the show, and was superb. She has got to be most sensational mezzo-soprano around these days. Yowza!!!
