Binge watched tv shows (Part 2)

Just binge watched Her Majesty on Amazon Prime (Spanish “Su Majestad”). A Spanish TV series about a wastrel princess who steps in when her father has to vacate the throne because of corruption. Set in the present day with nods to Prince Harry etc. It’s so deliciously entertaining and cheesy. Loved it. Highly recommend.

Just binge watched the whole Black Mirror season. More thought provoking story lines and less reliance on shock value than previous seasons. Really liked it.

I just watched Hacks, Season 4, episode 1. Great as always.

After watching Adolescence (which was superb), DH and I looked for something “lighter”.

We just finished watching North of North on Netflix. It was a really good choice…and bonus, it has Chloe from24! Two thumbs up!

I’m not sure I can watch shows anymore that aren’t bingable. When the Resident first came out, I tried to watch but couldn’t get into it. It was on FOX and that’s a sports station here so often the time was moved or I had something to do and…

I started binging the other day and now I’ve watched a lot (too much). It’s pretty good.

Supposed to snow on Friday so might get more episodes in.

For Ted Lasso or and Parks and Rec fans I highly highly recommend the new show North of North on Netflix. It’s set in as far north as is habitable in Canada among the Inuit people and has many of same same vibes as those shows. It is a DELIGHT! Do NOT miss it if warm comedy is your thing.

I binged five episodes of North of North last night so agree that it’s a fun show!

Have watched all three episodes of Mobland, but I don’t know that I would recommend it. I like Pierce Brosnan, really like Helen Mirren, and Tom Hardy is terrific in this, but… what a bunch of nasty characters! The show is well done, but the characters are pretty hard to like, and the subject matter is grim, and violent.

Just started Yellow Jackets with D22. I’m surprised at how much I like it. Perfect show to hold both of our interest.

Not a movie, but I just finished Ransom Canyon. I’ve not seen any of the Western series so popular of late, but I liked this one very much.

So is that a thumbs up or a thumbs down on the series?

This is season 2 and I knew the series is based on a video game, but did not know what happened in the game. The show is about what happens after a horrible outbreak that turns people into zombie like things. It is definitely a bit gory, but I’m a huge fan of Pedro Pascal so that’s why I started watching it.

I watched a couple of episodes but it was too depressing for me.

I did binge North of North. Cute, entertaining, but fairly predictable outcome.

I’m on episode 3, and we’re enjoying it so far.

Fairly predictable” is a plus right now. :wink:
