What are you binge watching?

I saw Lost up on Netflix and never watched it so I jumped in last week. I always thought it was my kind of show with hidden bits and plot Easter Eggs but never got around to watching it before.

4 episodes in, I think it's good. It looks like it's held up okay over time. And I'm trying not to nitpick at things like "Why are they using the flashlights so much?" and it is interesting to watch network TV again. I wonder what this show would have been like on Apple TV or HBO.

Got a free 1 week trial of Starz so I could check out Sweetpea. Have watched 3 out of 6 episodes. It's okay, I'm not loving it though. Ella Purnell is the draw and really the only reason I'll probably stick with it, she's very good (as always). She's an unfortunate soul, overlooked and swept aside, her dad and then her beloved dog die within a few days, her tormentor from high school is back in town and now in the ultimate insult her absentee sister has recruited her bully to sell her dad's house, which she's currently living in. After all this she snaps one night and stabs some bloke to death. Ella is pulling off the task of making her character at least somewhat sympathetic while she's doing very bad things. The series is a bit slow and most of the rest of the characters I'm not finding particularly compelling.

Disclaimer.

I thought would be another show about super wealthy people on Apple but it's actually really good.

I was not expecting that conclusion.

I've missed Kevin Kline. He was a perfect choice for that role.

"Sweetpea" totally lost momentum somewhere in the middle and limped to the finish line. I wouldn't recommend it unless you are a really big fan of Ella Purnell, and even then maybe not. Oh well.
