Netflix (Streaming) Thread!

[ArtWilliams]

I don't think I posted this before. My wife and I are finishing up the last season of Episodes which was originally on Showtime in the States and we're watching on Crave in Canada.

The premise is, "After married couple Sean (Stephen Mangan) and Beverly (Tamsin Greig) Lincoln win yet another BAFTA Award for their successful British sitcom, Lyman's Boys, they are persuaded to move to Hollywood and remake their series for an American audience. Unfortunately, the network starts to make changes and pressures the couple into casting Matt [Friends] LeBlanc in the lead role. Sean becomes friends with Matt, while Beverly is less impressed. Continuing changes to the scripts threaten to damage the show and other pressures result in difficulties in Sean and Beverly's marriage."

It's funny and Tamsin Greig's character is my type (smart woman with short hair that you might mistake for a lesbian).

Wife and I watched Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga which is with Will Ferrell so expect it to be stupid and cheesy but it still made me laugh.

Also finished the last episodes of the kids cartoon KIPO so I may need to find another as I've been enjoying watching cartoons in the morning with my oatmeal and tea.

Search Netflix for "Explained" - I think there's 4 series by these people, and it's all 20-30 min mini-docs about some damn interesting stuff.

Anchorman and Stepbrothers are the Will Ferrell gold standard. Eurovision Song Contest, IMHO, doesn't come close. I laughed a couple of times too. MEH.

We are watching The Politician and it's a quirky, out there yet predictable kinda show that I'm strangely finding quite funny.

I'm also continuing with The Walking Dead but only like an episode with breakfast while my wife is still sleeping as she watching it on her own account and is way ahead of me.

I'm watching The Office (US). Not chronologically, I'm pulling random episodes from the seasons. I love The Office. And Pam.

I watched The Woods, Polish series converted ot English. I thought it was pretty good

Next up Warrior Nun

[Greenguy]

We watched Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich on Netflix - good doc, but what a fucking scumbag.

I also just noticed that Airplane! is now on Netflix

[JustRobert]

We watched the new George Lopez comedy special on Friday night and it was pretty good.

Then we watched the new Jim Jeffries comedy special last night and a lot

[Greenguy]

I recently watched:

1 - a couple of the Unsolved Mysteries reboot & they were ok, but long. They're only 45-50 min but it felt like they were dragging on & on & on...

2 - Black Monday on Showtime. S1 was great. S2 jumped the shark really quick. I think there's 2 episodes left, so I'll probably watch them just to calm my OCD

3 - Mike Wallace Is Here on Hulu and that was pretty interesting look at his life (he's mostly known for his 60 Minutes reporting)

I did see that S2 of The Umbrella Academy is coming on July 31st

Glad you saw that cause I was going to mention it

We also watched Jerry Seinfeld's new comedy show and it was good.
From the 3 we watched from Friday night to Sunday night I thought Jeffries was best, IMHO.

Finished season 7 of The Walking Dead and will continue as it has turned into my breakfast series.

We finished The Politician and thought it was pretty funny.

Not sure what's up next for my lunch break and evening watching but the queue is full.

Agreed, I watched it yesterday while doing some work on the couch as the pets were pretty much sleeping.

A depraved look into the rich and powerful.

[jollyhumper]

Just watching telly today and since I'm really into Formula 1, I reactivated Netflix to jump onto season 2. It's a good documentary, for sure!!

The other night I watched "What Happened, Miss Simone". It's the biography of the American Blues and Jazz singer. She was also a part of the American Civil Rights moment. You might know her for "God Damn Mississippi", "Gifted And Black" or the popular "My Baby Just Cares For Me". Very interesting movie. I liked it.

[JustRobert]

I finished the series Gentefied which I enjoyed

and then (no and then)

we watched the Netflix movie The Old Guard with Charlize Theron last night which I thought was pretty good.

3rd season of Norsemen starts tomorrow (I believe)

[JustRobert]

Finished Norsemen which I still find funny but since it's on that edge of dumb/funny it's probably better if ya just watch a couple of episodes a day versus all 6 in a row.

Also started Warrior Nun and I'm liking it. There was a couple of moments in the very beginning that had us not sure but we let it play out anyways which turned out to be good.

[JustRobert]

Finished Warrior Nun last night and I'm glad I let it play out as I really liked it by the end.

Getting close to finishing the last season of The Walking Dead so I'll probably complete that before starting the new season (to Netflix) of Shameless that was released today.

[Greenguy]

I watched Frontline on PBS's Amazon Empire: The Rise and Reign of Jeff Bezos which was a great unbiased look at the good & bad of Amazon. It's currently only on PBS that I know of, but I think they eventually put the Frontline shows in the Netflix.

Next up is Fear City: New York vs. The Mafia because The Bitch 💚's her mobsters.

[JustRobert]

Finally finished The Walking Dead and now onto Shameless.

[Greenguy]

I watched the 1st 7 episodes of S2 of The Umbrella Academy and so far I really like it. So often these things the bed in Season 2, but the lack of Art seems to be working for them creators!

HaHa! I can't tell you how often the only thing you see of me is the back of my head. My bald spot. Some how, that's the shot that makes it into the production. Not a pretty sight.
