down_to_business Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 (edited) Latest pleasure is Hulu's Love, Victor. Enjoying it very much. Will finish complete season in 2 days. Bonus incentive, British actor, George Sear as Benji...who I've liked from Disney channel's Evermore Chronicles, Into the Badlands and most recently, Alex Rider. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yJmSwTse5a0/Vh67AtdvK5I/AAAAAAABMFw/QSqDNE8zO9E/s1600/1.jpg Edited July 22, 2020 by down_to_business + Axiom2001 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruthBTold Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 It isn't really binge watching I know but if you get a chance watch the limited series I Will Be Gone In The Dark. It is the story of a very talented magazine and crime blog writer who becomes obsessed with a series of sexual assaults and murders that she is convinced are all committed by the same person. The assaults/murders occurred in California in the 70s and 80s and her investigation takes place in over two decades later. In investigating for the article and then a book she begins to author she speaks to as many people who had anything to do with the original crimes as possible but did as much new investigation that she could. You see what a creative investigative mind she had so that the investigation was able to go in many different directions. Particularly as the crimes were not at first connected themselves in any way. She also was a very down to earth person and mother who was married to the comedian Pat Patton Oswalt. I was totally absorbed by the series. The below is an NPR interview interviewing her husband and the director of the series. https://www.npr.org/2020/06/26/883496022/hbos-ill-be-gone-in-the-dark-brings-the-golden-state-killer-to-the-small-screen + pitman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intense and somewhat dark but great performances by the whole cast. https://tv.apple.com/us/show/defending-jacob/umc.cmc.5h5mr0shyyqqahqdv55ywyilr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny-Darko Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I just finished the first two seasons of "Babylon Berlin" and I'm getting ready to see the third season. The Germans make great films and TV Series if you don't mind subtitles. My high school German doesn't go very far so I appreciate the subtitles. https://www.netflix.com/title/80136321 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4378376 + g56whiz and TruthBTold 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The discussions in episode 2 about the rape-victim-shaming culture that was prevalent in the 70's are unsettling, and that's from someone who remembers that time well.

AceHardware Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 I was turned off by the title of "Schitt's Creek," thinking that meant it was a bunch of teenage humor based on obscenities. I was so wrong! I watched the 1st episode, then binged the whole series over 2 days. What a clever comedy that also has a lot of heart. There are 4 primary characters, so it distorts the story to say it's all about David + Patrick the way some fansites talk, but their story is certainly well done. (If David & Patrick aren't enough for you, Alexis has some hot bfs.) + g56whiz, TruthBTold and thomas 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSR Posted July 20, 2020 Author Share Posted July 20, 2020 The guiltiest of guilty pleasures is back! Yuppers, your favorite crew of Marbellan male strippers will return. No details on when exactly we'll see Toy Boy returning to Netflix, but a second season has been confirmed. Please oh please, give Germán a bigger role. He was mostly just eye candy in Season 1, not involved in any major storylines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ pitman Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Just finished OUTCRY on Showtime. Its a doc series about a seriously-bungled case where a high school football star was charged with molesting a four year old boy. Expertly told story as the levels of incompetence and corruption in the criminal justice system are gradually revealed. thomas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to see how it all comes out. I love the fact that the series is just as much about the author/investigator as it is about the rapist/murderer.

+ poolboy48220 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 I don't know if six episodes qualifies as a binge. "Monty Python: Almost The Truth", a documentary series, is on Netflix. The first episode was about each of of their childhoods., their early careers, how some of them met each other & started working with each other individually before forming the group. I've been a huge huge Monty Python fan since 1975. I was glued to it. 20-year-old John Cleese is very hot. thomas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceHardware Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 I remember browsing the Downton Abbey wiki before I was caught up on the series and unexpectedly found out some things... :-( Spoiler: All 6 seasons of Downton were just Lady Mary's dream. Oh, wait, that was Pamela Ewing in Dallas. But seriously, yes, wiki's can surprisingly give away WAY too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrisParr Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 How do you like the show? I've heard good things, and the trailer is awesome. This is not your father‘s Raymond Burr rehash. Edgy, sexy, gutsy, moves along quickly. Jonathan Lithgow is outstanding and you’ll not recognize Stephen Root as the evil prosecutor. And whoever would have thought Della Street likes girls? Matthew Rhys provides plenty of eye candy while smoking, drinking and saying “fuck” about every other sentence. + Hoover42 and BSR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSR Posted August 1, 2020 Author Share Posted August 1, 2020 The producers of "Money Heist" have confirmed that the upcoming fifth season will also be the last for Netflix's most successful non-English language series. Alas, all good things must come to an end. As much as I love the show, I don't see how they could stretch it out beyond Season 5, and nothing is worse than a great series that goes to sh*t because the producers dragged it out for too long. Miguel Angel Silvestre from Sense8 & Narcos will be joining the cast, so we'll have some eye candy to look forward to. Show runner Alex Pina said that they've been working on the series finale for almost a year and seems confident that this last season will be the best ever. Shooting to start soon, but of course no word yet on when Season 5 will debut on Netflix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny-Darko Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I just found and started watching "Brave new World" (2020) Familiar with the classic I didn't think it'd be very good, but after a few episodes I want to see what happens! https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9814116 fedssocr1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ poolboy48220 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 "Star Trek: Lower Decks" started this week on CBS All Access. Animated comedy about the support crew on a not-very-prominent Starfleet ship. First episode was pretty funny, and a tiny bit of animated nudity Netflix has spoiled me, I'm not used to waiting a week for the next episode; I guess in that sense it won't qualify for "binge" watching until the season ends. Looks like they have 23 episodes planned? + Hoover42 and Nibs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny-Darko Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 "Mrs. Wilson" (PBS Masterpiece TV Mini-Series 2018) Incredible yet true story! I love Masterpiece Theater's period pieces. And the actor Otto Farrant that plays her youngest son "Nigel" is adorable!

jeezifonly Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Been stumbling across some good Australian TV lately Not fully binging yet but have been enjoying RAKE on Netflix. Telecast 2010-17 I think. Contemporary courtroom drama, centered around a defense attorney who lives the low life, tries to be a good divorced dad, gambles with dangerous people, is hot and raggedy-handsome, even in the barrister wig. Lots of sex and nudity. Funny. Good twists. mike carey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
