DD4Bills Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 I'm a few years late (which just gives me more seasons to binge), but just got into and am really loving Bosch on Amazon Prime. Smart, gritty, decently paced. I had read a couple of Harry Bosch books way back in the day, but for some reason never watched the series until now. For fans of very slow burn foreign language fare, Katla on Netflix is worth checking out. Icelandic with subtitles (or I suppose you could watched in dubbed English if that's your thing) set in a remote mostly abandoned town impacted by a year-long (and counting) volcanic eruption. A bit sci-fi, a bit supernatural, very moody/creepy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringMetheHeadofLeonLett Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 The Serpent on Netflix is Very well done... gotta be able to handle some super-creepy, based on a true-story, stuff. good 70's feel, great writing/acting/soundtrack. Jenna Whatsherbucket is supercute and apparently the true story had to be tamed down a bit, as the creators felt it was too weird to be believable.

Just Jack Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 (edited) Just finished The Story Of Late Night on CNN tonight. An easy show to binge, just 6 episodes. But they did not get into how much of a sneaky weasel Jay Leno is. Edited July 12, 2021 by Just Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 1971, The Year That Music Changed Everything on Apple TV. I am about 4 or 5 episodes in, i was 8 in 1971 so i really wasn't in tune with it as it was going on, this documentary is pretty intense. Once i am done with this I am going to do the ?uestlove documentary about the Harlem Woodstock, during that same 71-72 time frame. Some really good stuff.

Johnny Hammersticks Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Watched two episodes of Black Summer last night on Netflix. Not too bad...not too great. Going to give it a fair chance.

Was also recommended to us this past weekend by some friends. My wife has a hard time with shows portraying violence/abuse against children, but she can handle other “creepy” stuff. Just finished season 2 of Black Summer on Netflix which was a decent watch. Goes by quickly. One of those “brain candy” shows that you can watch both seasons in 3-4 nights without staying up all night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

transplantbillsfan Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 As a show that I don't think I've seen mentioned I started watching Watchmen on HBO Max a couple nights ago and got hooked. One piece of criteria I always use for judging shows is the Rotten Tomatoes Audience Reviews--significantly more important than the critics reviews... usually. This show is an exception. I'm 3 episodes in to a 9 episode season of hour long episodes and I'll finish by early next week. The show is weird, but very engaging. I'd recommend it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DD4Bills Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Watched Mare of Easttown (HBO Max). Pretty compelling police procedural / f'd up family drama combo. 7 episode limited series, so not a huge time commitment. Also just wrapped the final season of Bosch (Amazon Prime). What a great series. Blasted through all 7 seasons over that last 2 months. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, there's a historical backdrop to the show that actually happened (that some people want to deny, apparently...?), but the show itself is one I actually hesitated to watch for awhile because of the aforementioned idiotic review bombing but finally watched and IT'S SOOOOO GOOOOOD!!!!

IMO, Watchmen is a superior limited series. Hit all the right notes - and I hated the original Watchman movie and think the graphic novel is somewhat overrated. On Peacock - We are Lady Parts is very well done comedy. Young muslim women in London punk band. Great characters, direction, acting, and story line. Fresh and original. Six half-hour episodes.

I never read Veidt the way Irons played him. Now that I think about it, I'm not really sure what I would have expected, but that was definitely different. And I'll leave it spoiler-free just in case, but the show was also missing a very key character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
