The newest season of Black Mirror on Netflix. It is like the Twilight Zone but technology is always the source of the twist.

Weekend binge opportunity.
Amazon making The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel free this week-end in honor of its 2 golden globe wins. Extremely funny show. They deserved the wins.

I didn't make it through the first episode. Most of the way, just didn't care for it.
If you made it through her meltdown/stand-up routine, then you saw enough to know where it is going. Some won't like that it is a period piece. I didn't like Mad Men much mainly for that reason and it was boring. I thought The Wire was predictable and stereotypical. The docks plot was excruciating. But I liked Bunny and his zone.deemus said:NoBSU said:

It was a bit boring to me. Maybe I checked out too soon.
Mrs. Maisel is written as a compilation of early female stand-up like Joan Rivers/Phyllis Diller that did bits about her their life. When she starts doing stand-up, it is really funny. But the period Jewish family in New York is a little Neil Simon like, so I get the boring parts. She drops her top if that helps.deemus said:

Mad Men and The Wire are some of the best TV shows ever made. I was never bored with Mad Men and The Wire (agreed season 2 was not as good as later seasons, especially the steller season 4) I couldn't get enough of. Another good series was "Treme'" that takes place in post-Katrina New Orleans and has a lot of The Wire in it.
Recently I have been watching The Punisher, which is pretty good, Ash vs. The Evil Dead, Maron, and Big Mouth.
Just started season 3 last night. It's not as good without Agent Murphy. I wonder if they'll bring him back at some point?Assassin said:No kidding. Almost wish the whole season wouldnt come out on the same day so you could savor each episode a bit more. It will be interesting to see where they go S4BellCountyBear said:
Love Narcos! Outstanding writing!
Show was almost cut - not for lack of viewership but their location scout was shot dead in his car while scouting shooting locations.
However they are shooting now:Quote:
Narcos will hit the reset button once again, with a new drug cartel and possibly a new team of DAE agents.
Javier Pena put the four Cali godfathers behind bars in the season three finale, but while doing so uncovered the true depths of Colombia's corruption.
He learned that the Calis had effectively bought the Colombian government, having funnelled money into President Ernesto Samper's campaign a fact which the US Ambassador and the CIA both knew.
When asked if he would go to Mexico to continue the war on drugs, Pena resigned and returned home to Texas.
In the final scenes, Pena stood with his father and watched a boat full of smugglers bring cocaine into the US.
I am Amazon Prime not Netflix. My brother-in-law has been talking up The Punisher. Here good things.
I predicted about 80% of the end of The Wire. It was more sad than dramatic to me. I expected it.

Treme' should still be on Amazon if that topic interests you. It can get a little political (Katrina) but I really enjoyed it.
They're kinda following the true to life historical timeline. Not exactly, but pretty much. Murphy returned to the US in 1994 and worked for the DEA domestically until he retired in 2013.BellCountyBear said:Just started season 3 last night. It's not as good without Agent Murphy.

Black Mirror (darker version of twilight zone)
Luther (gritty British detective show)
Sherlock (Benedict Cumberbatch as Holmes)
whats interesting is how many of us are adults here - and we pretty much all like Stranger Things which was pretty much a kids show.greggor25 said:

The way I see it, if I get an hour of the day that makes me laugh, enjoy it or be more than marginally interested, it's a good thing

Sort of like Black Mirror - director / creator is the guy who did Minority Report and the remake of Blade Runner

Binge watched Ozark during the ice storm from hell and really liked it. Highly recommended.
Isn't the source for Blade runner and this series the Dick book? Amazon did a great job with Dick's Man in the High Castle. That is next on my list when I get through a slammed two weeks at work.Keyser Soze said:

I think we are mostly watching Grey's out of habit... it's been such a long road we just don't want to quit... Big Bang Theory is moving into that territory as well.BaylorProud77 said:Forgot , Outlander, Grey's Anatomy, and Game of Thrones (can't wait for its return)JusHappy2BeHere said:

I liked both seasons of Stranger Things... I don't know if Season 2 was better but it definitely wasn't worse
Watched The Brave tonight and was pretty good. Spy show.
Anne Heche and mostly people I've not seen before.
It's worth a look. On NBC Monday's, not sure if online.
