Binge watched tv shows (Part 1)

Most CBS shows can be seen free on cbs.com (e.g. Survivor on CBS
scroll down and pick your episode) without commercials starting the day after broadcast.

She is, but I found her ā€˜Anna Wintour’ hair distracting. I have an aquaintence with hair like that (although red) and I spend most of my time staring and trying to figure out if it is a wig or, if not, how long it takes her to blow it out everyone morning.

The rest of the clothing/styling is fun to watch

We started watching The Diplomat this week and will finish Season 1 tonight and continue with Season 2. It took me a few episodes to get into it, but I have enjoyed the show so far. H liked it as well.

Is the sexism that Keri Russell faced still happening to women in the US foreign service? I do know that women who were career foreign service officers were forced to resign when they got married (the rule was dropped in 1972).

The show isn’t set in the past. There have been a few references to things or people or ā€˜people’ that are more recent.

IMO, yes, women still face sexism in both the US government and when dealing with other governments.

Look to see if your cable system has the Paramount Network. Ours does and that’s where we watched them.

We cut the cord. No more cable

Anyone else watch The Penguin? Fantastic! Definitely going to be an award season front runner.

It’s a fantastic show, and yes, it will win many awards. I’d love to see another season, but I fear it’s like season 1 of True Detective.

Colin Farrell seems very uninterested due to the process of becoming the Penguin- hours in the make-up chair. He will be in the next Batman movie, so it seems he wants a break.

I can’t imagine how long the process is to make a guy that good looking so unattractive.

If you have Utube TV I believe Paramount is on there.

Yes. The season finale was this week for anyone wanting to binge. Colin Farrell is amazing (and unrecognizable). This is a fabulous version of the character. Certainly not the Burgess Meredith Penguin of old.

While there’s been no announcement of a season 2, the Easter eggs in the finale, particularly the last frame of the last scene, does leave me wanting more.

I was just about to say the same thing to @conmama. I’m watching it on YouTube TV/Paramount as I type this. I have it set up to record the season.

Thanks you two! I’m so excited to watch. Will
Start tonight!

Paramount doesn’t come with YouTube TV - it’s an add-on that you have to pay for.

Is anyone else watching Rivals on Disney+? It’s based on a book I never read and set in the English countryside in the 1980’s. It’s reminiscent of Dallas but with sex and nudity. And starring Doctor Who 10 and Poldark. Lots of fun.
