Notable Nexflix / Amazon / Premium Channel Series & Movies

I’ve read a lot of the Bosch books. Loving the series we started a few days ago, but I might miss a good Thursday night game as my wife got hooked on it with me. I said “one episode only” before we started, which is similar to “I’ll go to the game when she falls asleep”, I’m guessing. 

 

I highly recommend Bosch.

Just plowed through the first season of Broadchurch. What a great show! British crime drama.

 

 

One of my favorites. All the seasons are good

Top show I've ever streamed.  It gets better and better.

Bill Burr's 4 season animated series "F is for Family".  Pretty damned funny.  Season 5 comes out next year

HBO’s “The Undoing” is REALLY excellent so far. Part Big, Little, Lies and part Night Of that are both HBO originals

I have now finished "The Queen's Gambit" on Netflix and relished it slowly, only allowing one episode per viewing.

It's only 7 one-hour episodes and it goes by quickly.

 

One of the most enjoyable shows I've seen in several years.

 

If you have Netflix, sit down and start watching!  You won't regret it.

Agreed! I loved that it was 7 episodes. These Netflix shows all seem to go on well past their shelf life. This was just so perfect in length. As another poster said above, I am thinking about picking up the book and reading it now.

i just learned that mind hunter will not have  a season 3.  it's not canceled, but the creator really wants nothing to do with it right now.

I bet you will enjoy the book.  It's probably better than the show, and the show was great!

Is anyone watching Big Sky, Tuesday at 10 on ABC.

 

Two episodes in, and it’s pretty good so far, it’s got a good cast, including the actress who played Lagertha on Vikings.

 

It’s got a bit of a Twin Peaks feel to it.

How dare he. It's worse when the creater willfully leaves fans hanging and it's not a typical production issue.

I watched My Octopus Teacher on Netflix last night. It's a beautiful documentary about a man and his relationship with an octopus.

 

It's so much better than it sounds. Gets quite moving at points.

I just finished the first episode of "The Queen's Gambit" on Netflix.

 

All I can do is add to the enthusiastic response already referenced in this thread.

 

It's a seriously well done show and I am enjoying it greatly! 

 

 

 

I finished it last night, which made me sad! It was the second time thru the whole series for my wife and she still enjoyed it immensely. 

 

Glad to read that Bosch has one more season coming out in the spring. 

 

Looking thru here for suggestions on what to do next.

It sounds like the title of a Goosebumps story

On Amazon prime my favorites are Bosh, Goliath, and by far The Boys is amazing!  It takes a leap of faith/supposition to get into the Boys as they create a world with Superheroes that are all different in name but if you can get by that you will not be disappointed

Tried to watch Wonder Woman 84 tonight and I made it about 35 minutes in. One of the single worst movies I've ever tried to watch. Plot is ridiculous, dialogue is awful, and it's cheesy. If this got a full theatre release instead of being buried on Hbo max it would be getting slaughtered IMO.

Binge watched Chernobyl on HBO Max last weekend. It's a mini-series, so only 5 episodes. It was outstanding.

 

We started watching Perry Mason last night. Only 2 episodes in, but looks like it has potential.

[Johnny Hammersticks]

Finished Queens Gambit last night.  As others have said, very enjoyable show.  IMO, there was a “lull” during a couple episodes toward the end, but the beginning and ending of the series was quite interesting.

 

I had this suspicion down the stretch that something bad was going to happen to her in Russia at the end.  I won’t share whether I was right or wrong because I don’t want to spoil for others.

I just abandoned "DARK" on Netflix after 7 episodes.  I had heard that it had a slow start and you needed to give it time. Seems to be pretty popular.  

 

I gave it too much time!  Just a very derivative, not-super-well-done show.  Couldn't find a character I liked to save my life.  Kind of a dreary vibe, very slow moving, it's like 2 out of 5 star fare for me.

I also jumped ship around the same time in the series for similar reasons.  It was like Dark Mirror’s ugly sister.  Not very well done.
