Currently...

Ted Lasso, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Bosch, The Boys

Have you watched both seasons of The Boys all the way through?

It takes a very hard left turn at the end.

If you liked Law and Order, I suggest Homicide: Life on the Street. It's set in Baltimore. There were some crossover episodes.

Monk was also a favourite.

Particularly the one in which they got locked in the bank vault.

Just finished this. Very good. Wish they had done more than 2 seasons.

Just started Murder In The First currently in HULU.

On Netflix Queen's Gambit. It is a limited series so season 1 will probably be the last but what it lacks in quantity it makes up in quality. On 23 November 2020, Netflix announced that it had been seen by 62 million households since its release, becoming its "biggest scripted limited series to date. Anya Taylor-Joy received Golden Globe and Critics Choice Best Actress Awards for her performance. She also started in a number of other very successful films and series such as Emma (2016).

On Netflix, Witcher. People compare it to Game of Thrones but I certainly would not go that far. For this genre, it is good but one problem with it is that it moves fast and you really need to pay attention or you'll wonder what and who and how.

On Amazon Prime, Goliath Billy Bob Thornton, who I think is a great actor stars in this legal series. Once Powerful Billy McBride is now burned out and washed up, spending more time in bar than a courtroom, cases fall in his lap that most lawyers won't touch or wish they had.

On Amazon Prime The Marvelous Mrs Maisel. The story is about a standup women comic back in the 1950s when were no stand up women comics. This is a very funny series that also has a good story. As the saying goes try it, you'll like it.

On Amazon Prime. This one goes back a ways, 1976 but it is as fresh and interesting today as was then.
The Duchess of Duke Street is a BBC television drama series set in London between 1900 and 1925. It was created by John Hawkesworth, previously the producer of the period drama Upstairs, Downstairs. It starred Gemma Jones as Louisa Leyton Trotter, the legendary "Duchess" who works her way up from servant to renowned cook to proprietary of the upper-class Bentinck Hotel in Duke Street, St. James's, in London. The story is loosely based on the real-life career of Rosa Lewis, the "Duchess of Jermyn Street", who ran the Cavendish Hotel in London, at the corner of Duke St, St. James’s which is still there and operating.

When you review or make a recommendation, please mention where you saw it if you can, theater, Cable Channel, TV, streaming service, etc.. It saves others time looking for.

Thanks

The HBO series "John Adams". I would never have picked Paul Giamatti for the role of John Adams but he did a remarkable job. Laura Linney is great as Mrs. Adams. It brings the struggle for independence to life instead of dry history books. Highly recommended.

I agree, If you like historical screen biographies, this is a very good one.

Ugh.........SOOO many......


Don't watch a lot of new stuff, as there isn't much that interests me nowadays.

Still watch Doctor Who.

I want to watch a couple new shows, but I don't have access to them.
The Boys, and the other one is a British show about secret service people.....don't remember the name.

Other than that, I just watch all the oldies I love.

You must have watched TV all day and all night. I can only think of a dozen or so series I watched over the years and I started watching TV with Howdy Doody(1947).

Star Trek TOS - The first time only happens once.

Twilight Zone - Never miss the New Year's marathon.

Batman - The greatest collision of melodrama and cheesy campiness ever aired.

South Park - Only the first ten seasons.

The Saint - The worst episode is better than the best Roger Moore as James Bond movie.

MST3K - Legendary.

Quantum Leap - Great premise...The last regularly scheduled network program that I gave a hoot about watching.

Mission: Impossible - Just suspend disbelief and enjoy the cloak-and-dagger.

Hill Street Blues - Best cop show evah!
