Started watching Motzart in the Jungle. Pretty good so far.

[Pine Barrens Mafia]

Welp I'm set up to watch the first fiction TV I've watched in many months soon. Next season of Bosch starts tomorrow.

 

[LSHMEAB]

Didn't read through the entire thread to see if it was mentioned, but Amazon's Sneaky Pete is worth watching. Kind of low key without constant explosions and such. Lots of complicated characters without clear cut good guys and bad guys. If you like subtle and hate gratuitous shenanigans, this is solid. They did 2 seasons. Not sure if a 3rd will happen.

Sweet, looking forward to Bosch!

damn, I'm the only one who liked The Ranch.  But then I only watched the first season. Sam Elliot was already starting to lose his edge

I would think most people in this forum prefer The Blue Cheese.

Decided to start Black Summer on Netflix. It has the fast paced feel of the last Dawn of the Dead movie. In fact some of the first episode seemed like a homage to the start of the movie.

May I suggest Whitechapel to you?

 

It's set in modern times but the first series revolves around Jack the Ripper copycat murders. The police even employ a "Ripperologist" to help them try and catch the killer.

 

The second series centres around the same police team trying to capture criminals who copy the style of the Kray twins. 

 

There are more series but the first two I considered the best. 

 

Sounds good, but I couldn’t find it anywhere...it’s not on Netflix. Maybe it’s on Britbox?

 

Speaking of Britbox, has anyone here tried it? I’d like to know if it’s worthwhile before I give it a try.

According to my JustWatch app, it’s available on Hulu for streaming.

Spoiler alert: the redhead chops people into tiny little bits and her mom eats the evidence.  Bosch solves this by reviewing victims Skype histories.

I just stumbled across Chernobyl on HBO last night and recorded it.  It was very good.  My wife was in Russia at the time of the accident on a school field trip.  They didn't know anything about it until they returned home to the then Czechoslovakia a few days later.    

[Heitz]

Billions is on fire this season!  Great show...

 

And full bummer about Counterpart going away.  One of the best shows on non-TV!!  Hoping that Amazon or someone else picks it up.

Chernobyl episode 1 was excellent.  

 

I am surprised they couldn't find actors with Russian or eastern european accents, however.

[ricojes]

I have been hearing a lot about "Dead to Me", anyone watch?

Finished Bosch.  Really good season, left plenty of interesting plot lines for next season.

[Tierlifer]

With this crummy weather yesterday and my Mom long passed as well as the Mets were rained out I watched on Netflix yesterday and recommend:

 

Ted Williams documentary 

and

The Price Is Right documentary on the guy who won a ton of crap by guessing everything correctly with the exact prices and crushed it.

6 episodes into Dead to Me and it is really good.  Very witty...

hmm, i watched 3 and checked out. Why TV is so good these days..so much different content out there.

 

Been watching two quirky Brit sitcoms

 

Fleabag Season 2..going in a different, deeper direction this final season, but i am enjoying it. 

 

London Irish..really asinine humor..but I find it funny for some reason. I do watch with Subtitles on to make sure I catch all the language.

[Nextmanup]

Last night I saw a pair of good documentaries on Netflix.

 

"Perfect Bid" about a guy who memorized all the prices for items on the Price is Right; kind of a fun off-beat documentary that gives some insight into the world of a TV game show.  In overall flavor, this one reminds me of "The King of Kong" in some ways, which is another fun, really well done documentary. 

 

"Killer Legends" was a completely different sort of film.  It is creepy and explores several popular urban legends by going to the places where stories or alleged stories occurred, talking to key people, and researching the various stories the best they can.  

 

Both definitely worth viewing but completely different sorts of documentary.

I have been blown away by Chernobyl.  All three episodes have been excellent.  I had no idea that Ukranians and Belorussians spoke with British accents.

I'll have to check out the game show docs. If you get a chance, seek out Big Bucks: The Press Your Luck Scandal special. It details how Michael Larson, an out-of-work ice cream truck driver used a then new devise called a VCR to tape the Press Your Luck show and memorize the light patterns on the Whammy board. He then got himself on the show and kept spinning until he'd won a then-record $110,000.

Thanks for the recommendation.  I'll watch this tonight and report back.

Its really the only knock

 

the director says it was a choice to balance a foreign sound but still be accessible. Outside a few scenes the shows been so strong that I barely notice it during the bulk

[Nextmanup]

Watched "Big Bucks: The Press Your Luck Scandal" last night on youtube.  Enjoyable documentary but somewhat slowly paced and it could have been 1/2 hour shorter.  It's amazing how primitive the technology was, at least until this guy came along and they then changed it to make it much more complex.

 

I'm on a huge documentary tear of late, so I followed that one up with "ICARUS" on Netflix about the Russian athlete doping scandal.  That is a very well done documentary that I'd recommend to anyone.

Started watching The Handmaid’s Tale on Hulu. It has the secretive feel of The Americans. You’re never sure of who can be trusted. It really hits home on what could happen if religious extremists got control in a crisis, especially in today’s climate.

[billsfan89]

Black Mirror is the best thing going on Netflix. 3 new episodes come out on on June 5th. Stranger Things is Netflix's big hit and for good reason it is dam good. A lot of my favorite Netflix originals have been canceled in the past year or so. American Vandle, Dare Devil, Punisher, and so many other good show have been given the axe by Netflix unfortunately.

I watched Into the Spiderverse on a flight recently.  That one was incredibly well done.  I can see how it was winning awards.  And the scene at the end of the credits was hilarious.
