Let's binge watch stuff

[Lumpy1106]

I've been working from home so not a huge amount of time to binge watch, but nevertheless my list is growing. Here's what I've been watching;

• Mandalorian (Disney+) - LOVED IT! Dare I say, better than almost all of the movies. Can't wait for season 2 and I don't mean the "making of" or whatever it is they are now releasing
• The Imagineering Story (Disney+) - LOVED IT! Really well done, required watching for anyone on the DIS boards IMHO
• McMillions (HBO Go) - Really liked this one too. Hard to believe it really happened. Be prepared to watch through to the end. There are some really cool details they don't give you until the very end and I did not figure it out on my own.
• One Strange Rock (Disney+) - REALLY well done. Narrated by Will Smith. Suffice to say, if you think you know how the world works, you really have no idea. Sit down and watch this one - don't just have it on passively. The details are amazing.
• Forky Asks a question (Disney+) - shorts, but I'm including it because of how much I've loved each one. "What are Pets?" gets dark, but is my favorite by a mile.
• One Day at Disney (Disney+) - like it, don't love it - worth watching

I've also discovered, or re-discovered a couple of series that are worth mentioning;

• Suite Life of Zack and Cody (Disney+) - I don't mind this one, but for some reason my kids love it. My DD17 loved it on it's initial run and my DS6 loves it now
• New Girl (Netflix) - Was originally on FOX - how did I miss this one? LOL funny, really, not just saying that.
• VEEP (HBO Go) - Never had HBO on its initial run but I understand the hype now
• How I Met Your Mother - I watched this occasionally on it's initial run, now I've set the DVR to capture all of it so I can watch through from the beginning - WORTH IT!
• The Office (Netflix) - Never got the hype so giving it a shot. Season 1 is SO CRINGY! I heard it gets better in season 2 and stays good so sticking with it.

What cha' got?

I'm planning to binge watch "The Wire" since I never finished the series the first time it was on.

I’m not technically binge watching anything but I did watch 5 Betty Grable films in a row ( more or less).
Coney Island (1943)
Sweet Rosie O’Grady (1943)
The Shocking Miss Pilgrim (1947)
Mother Wore Tights (1947)
My Blue Heaven (1950)

I’m also reading a juicy Grable biography.

So one series that I always thought was under-rated was The Man in the High Castle. It's an Amazon original. 4 seasons, series has been completed so you can watch start to finish. It's a science fiction series set in the 1960's in a world where the Allies lost WWII. The eastern US is Nazi controlled and the western part is controlled by the Japanese.

I finally finished Breaking Bad - took me about 7 years. I kept taking months long breaks. Now I am re-watching Homeland and Downtown Abbey. I need to finish Game of Thrones, but that's another one I keep taking a break from. It's bloody and violent that I can only take it in small doses.

We just got through both seasons of Jack Ryan (Amazon Prime).

Getting ready to start Ozark (Netflix).

You should give Better Call a Saul a try. It's not as violent as Breaking Bad and I actually find it very interesting (& sad) to see Jimmy McGill turn into Saul Goodman.

A reminder of that long time ago (last month) of how the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial branches would ideally behave.

I love all the Forky shorts. Need to get back to them.

Together (dh and me) watching Scandal
I am watching Cardinal and Beat Bobby Flay

These fit in around our regular shows

 

[disneyseniors]

I am currently binging on Nurse Jackie. Being an RN,, I find it fascinating and funny!
I also am watching all the Great British Baking Show's that I can find.

 

[lovesmurfs]

I'm a fan of British mystery shows. Reworking my way through Death in Paradise (helps me escape to a tropical island!), Rosemary and Thyme, and Father Brown Mysteries. DH is working his way through Primeval again.

Thinking of going back to Eureka and Psych -- they're both quirky series that we enjoyed.

Best series finale of any show, ever!

There's a series called the Great American Baking Show, which is produced by the same folks. It's on Hulu, and they have some holiday episodes as well. Also, Hulu has Britain's Best Home Cook, which is a great series.

Not gonna lie -- I'm working my way through Chopped as well.

LOL. Well Saturday night I binge watched shows I Produced 40 years ago that I have burned to DVD! I worked on a magazine type show that ran at 7 pm Monday through Friday and we got to spend 2 weeks on a cruise ship, and we did five half hour shows on the ship and the Caribbean. This was back when the Love Boat was hot.
I have Dish at home and we have Netflix and my wife had been considering Disney Plus. We hope to retire by year's end and have been thinking about our TV entertainment options and we find what is out there pretty pathetic for what it costs.
Lord knows, yesterday afternoon after work I watched two episodes of Adam 12 from 50 years ago on METV!

 

[RamblingMad]

I’m rewatching the 4400.

Just started today on the treadmill. So far I’ve finished Schitts creek, ozark, unorthodox, broadchurch - that’s off the top of my head.

I like MeTV also. Look and see If any of your local channels also carry Cozi TV. They also have older shows, I particularly enjoy Emergency!

I really enjoyed Nurse Jackie. The young woman who plays Zoe, Merritt Wever, is on a Netflix series called Unbelievable. It also has Toni Collette and it’s really good
