What series are you streaming?

I watched and loved all the above except Amazing Race I don't watch, and totally agree with Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist. What a find, never ever imagined I would like thought geared more towards younger adults like Glee which didn't interest me. So uniquely done and human and touching, uplifting and funny with great actors

You described “Zoey‘s Extraordinary Playlist“ perfectly!!! Have you watched the second season of ”Zoey”? I haven’t but a friend of my DIL did, she cried through most of the episode. FYI-creator Austin Winsberg said he was inspired to write the show several years after his father passed away of the same disease Gallagher's character Mitch has in the series.

I sadly finished every episode of The Great British Baking Show (which I'm sure I'll watch again eventually), so now I'm onto:

Locke & Key - Netflix. Enjoying more than I thought. Kind of dark fantasy/mystery/thriller.
Queer Eye - Netflix. Love everything about it.
The Boys - Amazon Prime. Really interesting concept about how if superheroes were real, but essentially owned by a corporation. Definitely NSFW though.

Oh and about to watch The Last Skywalker on Disney+ before diving into the Mandalorian. First time ever watching the entire Star Wars saga. Was determined to get through alllll the movies before our WDW in March!

Moon embracing the Sun, Hotel del luna, Ruyi royal love in the palace, Nothing gold can stay. Really got into Chinese and Korean tv shows

WandaVision
Harlots
Versailles
Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency (I actually watched it all in December, but now I'm making my sister watch it, too)

just started Firefly Lane. It's pretty good.

I binge watched that series last weekend. I really liked it and I'm hoping they do a 2nd season....soon.

Call the MIdwife - Just began the series I have enjoyed the first 2 episodes

I love that series!! (MIL and I have both watched as they’ve come out, and read the books in the off-season as well.)

History Channel's "The Food that Built America" has been really fascinating

I just found that one recently and am loving it too!

Just started 2nd season. I didn't know that about the writer, and Peter Gallagher and his character were so moving, I cried and cry all the time when I watch this show lol.

We got a free year of Apple TV+ and just finished binging (bingeing?) Ted Lasso. If you haven't used your free trial yet, this is well worth using the free trial for. Funny, sweet, uplifting--can't recommend it highly enough.

I completely agree with this!

Now, you have to watch The Flight Attendant. It's SO good, as is Dickinson.

I started Outlander 3 nights ago on Netflix. It's like a book that I cannot put down.

I’m finally binge watching Downton Abbey. Just finished season 1. It so much!

Where can I stream Zooey’s Extraordinary Playlist? I can only find Season 2, and I need to watch season 1!

Have you tried Peacock?

 

[bennifer]

Have you tried Peacock?

Hmmmmm I probably forgot about Peacock! Thanks!

Easy to forget. I only thought about it because they have all the episodes of the Chicago shows. No where else had PD (for free/included).

We recently finished The Great on Hulu. Kinda bonkers and yet somehow makes you think. You'll find yourself saying, wait, I wish I knew more about Russian history so I could sort out the fact from the fiction.

Picard. Debris. Prodigal Son. Big Sky.

Just assume that it's all false.

Peter (Catherine's husband) was a dullard. He took more joy in playing war games with his friends than in engaging with Catherine. He was not the sex crazed man that is in The Great. Catherine did scheme to usurp him, but it was through being notified of Peter's aunt's death and taking the throne and not by trying to kill him. If she killed him before his aunt passed, she wouldn't have a way to the throne. She was Prussian, and not Russian. She arrived in Russia not speaking the language, but she learned it quickly and gained the love of the people.

It was a good show, but I kept explaining the errors to my DD as we watched it.

ETA: the show DOES provide the caveat that much is not true, right from the start, so it isn't trying to portray itself as non-fiction.

Really? Do you think maybe that's why they use the * on the title cards of the episodes?

I wonder if maybe they didn't walk around exclaiming Huzzah! and some of the glassware maybe survived long enough to be used more than once?

I'm in need of comedy shows / sitcoms, so any suggestion is much appreciated! hehe

We have now been watching Superstore for the first time.
Must say, first season is by far the best, but we keep watching, just for Glenn, he's great!

I recently watched the entire series of Seinfeld, as I had never seen all of them, it wasn't as good as I remembered from years ago, it was more "meh" then mostly funny.

And last month, in 1 evening into the night (about 7 hours of watching), we watched Broadchurch (UK) season 1.
OMG ... I can't believe I always tried to get out of watching it, it was amazing! (for US people: Gracepoint).

Wife and I are currently binging "The Expanse". We tried watching it when it first came out and got to EP 3 or so and got bored. We ran out of shows and gave it another shot and got really into it. We just started Season 5 last night and they are working on a 6th (so it's still running). The entire series is currently on Amazon prime if anyone is into that stuff.
