[Herbivore 905]

Started Babylon Berlin last night.  German show with subtitles on Netflix.  3 Seasons.  Takes place in 1929, not really Nazi focused.  

[DonS 3,067]

Isn't Ozark S3 due out later this month?

Edit: March 27

[Intense Observer 344]

I just discovered Seal Team and binged all 60 episodes over the month of March.

Great popcorn show if you enjoy watching US special forces kill thousands of evil brown people. 

[Cloaca du jour 2,064]

Shanghai Fortress on Netflix

Subtitled chinese

Great special effects and story...not the usual cheap godzilla look.

I enjoyed it

[BufordT 371]

Homicide Hunter -- just binged all 9 seasons very good stuff.  I'll be checking out Joe Kenda's book as well.

[DonS 3,067]

If you're in the mood for some light comedy check out Schitt's Creek on Netflix.  Canadian. Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara.  Also Chris Elliott playing a great redneck. 

Yeah, the son is a phag (and actually Eugene Levy's actual son) but it's a good show.  5 seasons and episodes are like 22 mins long.

Good show.  I watched it over the last few years.

[Big Blue 06 195]

I just started watching “You” on Netflix.  I read the books that this show is based on and so far, it’s been pretty true to the source material.

I’m enjoying the show thus far.  It’s a bit dark, but I like it.

[fandandy 3,311]

Just watched ep. 1 of Tales From the Loop on Prime.

Schitt’s Creek is a freaking awesome show...

[Cloaca du jour 2,064]

If you like food network cooking shows

The had a tournament of champions...great watch.  Hosted by Guy Fieri....great battles..no mindless drivel just non stop cooking.

You can probably watch em all on demand.  Only 5 episodes...3 matches in an hour...ncaa bracket style east and west.

If you like cooking battles...this was a fun watch.

I'm about halfway through season 2 of The Wire. Great show

[kutulu 1,545]

ZeroZeroZero on AP.  If you like Narcos you might like this, imo. 8 episode season. A lot of subtitles which I usually don't like but if the story is good enough I don't mind which is the case here.  

I just started episode 6 so hopefully it doesn't fall off a cliff but so far pretty good

We just finished Money Heist on netflix.  Very well written.

My wife and I started watching a couple days ago.  8 episodes into S1 (not sure how many are in a season).  We're enjoying it.  We don't usually watch with dubbing, but they do a really good job and it isn't as distracting as is often the case.

I want to say that season 1 had about 20 episodes, then seasons 2, 3, and 4 leveled off at about 8-10

Holy sh1t?  Really? 

I hope they step up their "nudity" game, though.  They keep listing that next to the TV-MA rating, but the most they've shown is some out of focus boobage.  Nice asses in underwear at least.

hehehe.  there is some here and there.  Not a constant.

I believe there  are some provocative scenes ahead for you

[Old School 360]

Ozark was pretty damn good.

Designated Survivor is good- but seems to drag. 
Narcos- can’t  believe I’m actually watching something with subtitles. It’s well done.

We did Designated Survivor before money heist. My only gripe with it was...just how many major crises can one term incur? Otherwise, I thought it was well done.

 

Ozark will be next.

Finished rewatching the entire run of Cheers, which was great.

Rewatched all of Madmen, also great.

The Stranger on Netflix was really good. 8-Part miniseries based on a book by Harlan Coben. Pretty good suspense/mystery but the last episode was a bit of a letdown.

Watched the Pale Horse, a 2-part movie (2 hour long episodes) based on an Agatha Christie novel. I liked it.

Watching Schitt’s Creek, on season 3 and it’s fine.

Watching season 2 of After Life with Ricky Gervais. It’s sort of meh.

Like everyone else I watched Tiger King. What a train wreck, I loved it.

[Big Blue 06 195]

I just finished rewatching Stranger Things, all 3 seasons.  It’s just as good the second time around.

 

also, we have been rewatching Psych from the beginning.  Halfway done season 2 (there are 8).  It’s a really funny show.

+1 on Schitts Creek.  I recently bought a TV and as a promotion it came with $50 credit on Google Play.  Ended up spending some of that money so wife and I could watch the 6th/final season.   They did a really good job wrapping everything up.  There was also an hour long documentary about the show after the final episode.

Chris Elliot owns the show. 

It says something about the Rose family that Eugene Levy is the least annoying one.

I want to party with Jocelyn Schitt.

Stevie (a woman for those of you haven't watched the show) makes me tingle a bit.  Don't know why. 

Too bad Alexis has zero tittays.

I haven't watched S2 yet.  How was it? From the screen shots showing a black guy it looks like a different actor (or maybe character) this time around? 

[Mike Honcho 4,023]

Just finished episode 9 of the first season---the one where you see Officer Ortega in all her glory.
