What are you binge watching?

[Plebe]

Probably will start with Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives.

I love all the places they feature but I cannot stand the host (hopefully he's no one's friend or relative here)

Thought of a couple more recommendations. "Community" was really fun, irreverent, funny for several seasons. Several changes in the cast, by the time Donald Glover and Chevy Chases left it wasn't the same. Really enjoyed both Alison Brie and Gillian Jacobs in this.

Another series that started out great and then just got lost in it's own mythology and turned into a muddled mess was "Orphan Black." Similar to Jodie Comer in "Killing Eve," Tatiana Maslany was amazing in this. Played about a half dozen different characters and managed to convey that each had a distinct personality. And multiple times one of the characters impersonated one of the other characters, and she managed to convey that effectively.

When I was about 10 I had black double-holster Paladin 6 gun set, complete with black cowboy hat and "Have Gun Will Travel" calling cards. I WAS Wire Paladin.

Have Gun, Will Travel" reads the card of a man
A knight without armor in a savage land
A fast gun for hire heeds the calling wind
And they call him... Paladin

So, what would you charge to make my boyfriend disappear?

Have tried 3 of Guy's recommendations

I'm pretty sure the only one of his featured joints I've been in is a Chinese place in Fairbanks, AK. It was great!

edit--whoops, outside of Fairbanks in North Pole, AK.

We just finished The English Game with a double-header. It's like Downton Abbey with soccer.

I have been binge watching my refrigerator. Something new every time I visit it.

re-watching Schitt's Creek and Derry Girls.

Anyone that hasn't seen "Fleabag" should turn in their humor card. Damn genius.

 

[JordyG]

I really enjoyed that show for 2 or 3 seasons. It started trailing off for me and probably jumped the shark several times. I stopped watching before the series wrapped up.

So did I. It was so promising at the start though.

Al Pacino's Hunters and I'm now on Star Trek- Picard - I'm liking both

I loved "Picard", but "Hunters", which seemed right up my alley (I mean killing nazi's? Sign me up and line 'em up), was just so predictable, and at times just plain awful.

The Affair
Better call Saul
Big Little Lies
Billions
Chernobyl
Homeland
Killing Eve
Succession

Killing Eve! Another genius show (along with Fleabag) by Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

I loved Travellers as well. Smart and fun. Altered Carbon was wildly uneven, but I enjoyed season 2 more than season 1.

 

[JordyG]

A show that's been consistently good throughout its seasons has been "The Handmaid's Tale", although where the show goes from last seasons end point is beyond my ken.

It seems the pace of "MIndhunters" isn't for everyone. The are no car chases, gun fights, or brawls. Just smart people in rooms trying to understand the inexplicable. Trying figure and reconfigure the minds of sociopaths and psychopaths. To me it was harrowing and the performances were spot on.

For those who have never seen the greatness of "Breaking Bad" now is the time. Some of it is incomparable to anything ever brought to screen or cinema.

If you love Sci-Fi as I do "Star Trek Discovery" is a real heady entry into this world.

The first season of "Goliath" was so good it was criminal (okay, excuse the pun).

I love "Jack Ryan" even though it isn't always as good as it should be. It was consistently better than "Hunters" though, and by a mile.

@Hope, sounds like you might need to practice some social distancing from your fellow.

Stuff is disappearing from my fridge. Is it ending up in yours? I just can't find it anywhere. Oh, wait...

More reading than watching TV, but I did watch the Expanse. Maybe the best Sci Fi in years. Oak Island is always a good choice, also.

re-watching Schitt's Creek and Derry Girls.

IMHO Schitt's Creek is the best sitcom ever. So well done, funny, clever, with laugh out loud moments in every episode.

I mentioned Sex Education and Pennyworth earlier in this thread...

October Faction - a fun surprisingly interesting series about a family who hunts monsters
Locke and Key - another surprisingly good series about a house that has a bunch of magic hidden keys

 

[MilfordHusky]

Did anyone ever play a character better than Henry Winkler? Fonzie became an icon. He surpassed every other character on the show, even "Leather Tuscadaro".

I am an Oak Island follower. DIY always fills the gap in the evening.
Musically, I missed the Eagles band in the 70s so I am visiting You Tube for everything on the Eagles. Also, a young drummer from Germany has a website where she has maybe hundreds of covers, Sina Drums. She is 20 and very talented.

The books were phenomenal. After the first year and a half the series bored me speechless. Although seriously uneven the new "Star Trek Discovery" beat it in all areas. I also found "Carnival Row", "The Mandalorian" and "Watchmen" far more interesting. Especially "Watchmen".

I liked "October Faction". I took a quick peek at "Locke And Key" and thought it another child centric "kids save the world" improbability and passed on it. It isn't that, is it?

Jordy, I have the box set for Steely Dan and saw them live in Dallas back around 2000. Great music!
