S and I love to discuss West Wing episodes. D got me to watch Grey’s Anatomy and now Scandal. But with school being busy, they don’t watch as much anymore and I miss those discussions…
Watched the first two episodes of the Hulu original series “Chance” starring Hugh Laurie as a forensic neuro-psychiatrist with some personal and ethical issues (surprise, surprise). So far, it’s been a very slow burn with a noir mystery feel. I’m hoping there is a twist in the direction it appears to be heading. At any rate, it is beautifully filmed with great acting.
Im still watching Luke Cage, and I love it!!!
I’m still watching This is Us but I have to say that the high hopes that I had for it have pretty much dissipated. I love parts of it, primarily the Randall story and Ron Cephas Jones who portrays William but much of the rest is just not doing it for me. Ron is a wonderful actor, as is his daughter, Jasmine, who plays Peggy Schuyler in Hamilton.
Does anyone watch Life In Pieces? A cute, sometimes amazingly funny sitcom with a fantastic cast. A cast who you would not expect on a 30 minute sitcom - James Brolin, Diane Weist, Thomas Sadoski, Colin Hanks, Betsy Brandt, Martin Mull, Megan Mullally, and the extremely talented but likely unknown by many, Zoe Lister-Jones. Highly recommend it.
We really like Life in Pieces.
I love Life in Pieces.
Binge watched two wonderful series lately. Highly recommend The Crown on Netflix and Good Girl Revolt on Amazon Prime. Loved both!!!
Just started watching The Crown tonight! Needing a major break from the real world so time for a Netflix binge.
@doschicos, we are enjoying The Crown also. DW is staying in the city tonight, otherwise we’d be watching episode 3 tonight. I know very little about the Royal Family, so it’s fascinating to me. I especially like the actresses for Margaret and Elizabeth.
I finished season 1 of The Crown, it was outstanding, can’t wait for season 2.
I was going to start it tonight but I’m just to knackered to concentrate. I’m taking the whole day off to start tomorrow. I have Poldark recorded too - so plenty to shows to keep me sitting back and eating bon bons.
Since season 1 of The Crown has been out for a few days…I assume we have to wait a year for season 2? I couldn’t find any info online.
For all those enjoying the Crown another netflix gem is “good girls Revolt” - well made, excellent acting
@SouthJerseyChessMom Good Girls Revolt is actually an Amazon Prime (video) series.
Re The Crown – I also really enjoyed the (very slight) recent movie, A Royal Night Out. It is sort of a Roman Holiday fantasy sprouted from the real-life fact that on V-E Day Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret, then in their late teens, left Buckingham Palace incognito with some friends and spent the night partying with crowds of people in the streets. A Canadian actress, Sarah Gadon, does a great job as a very appealing “Lillibet,” and Bel Powley is also fun as a ditzy Margaret. It’s a nice prequel to The Crown.
@Ohiomomof2 whoops you are right "good girls Revolt " is Amazon prime.
Chelsea Handler on Netflix 
is also excellent - she has the most interesting political, scientific and travel segments, warning she offends often, but it’s a great show, and worth tolerating those moments. I was not a fan of her crude late night show-
I’ve turned for comfort to sitcoms. Watched Parks & Recreation for 6 straight hours last night
Just finished watching epi 1&2 of The Crown. So good! I want to try to pace myself a bit so I have something to look forward to, but I do t know if I have the willpower not to binge it.
@Montegut and others, there is a 3rd season of The Fall. Seems to be recently added to Netflix. I think it only premiered on Irish and UK tv in late September.
