We have to bring this thread here too! It was one of my favourite places to get opinions on new shows to watch. Recently I finished watching quite a few shows. This is Us, Season 2. I hate to love that show. It's a little too much drama for me, but at the same time I'm sucked into the stories of the characters now.
Girl Boss: Quirky. There were a couple episodes that almost caused me to abandon ship, but I kept watching. Glow: I finished both seasons. LOVE this show. Female wrestlers in the 80s. highly recommend. Good Girls: That was fun.
Maniac: What a weird show! Anyone else watch this? It's about two people who end up in a psych experiment together.
Heartland Season 11: Another Canadian show. This one is my guilty pleasure. It's just a feel good show.
Atypical Season 2: Just as good as season 1. I hope they keep this show going.
I started watching:
Life in Pieces. I really like this one! Cute family humor.
Season 3 of Schitt's Creek is on Netflix now. I love this show! Canadian and funny. Thumbs up.
My husband and I recently tried out an episode of Quantico. I don't think he's sold. He doesn't like network TV shows. I didn't mind it though. Just enough action and "who done it?" for me.
Bosch. Sometimes it's a bit long and a bit dry, but overall it's good. We are 3 or 4 episodes in.
We seem to have completely abandoned Shameless, The Crown, Sneaky Pete, The Man in the High Castle, Riverdale, The Last Man on Earth, The 100, The Rain, and Money Heist. I also abandoned ship on Dynasty. It was awful.
Anyone else watching Survivor? It's a great season called David vs Goliath. There are some really great personalities. I'm hoping Jane the Virgin comes back soon. I loved that show.
Good call! This is definitely a thread we need. I haven't been able to watch any television this week but I look forward to jumping back in.
[@sunshine] We really need to check out Heartland because we adore the Hallmark Channel. š Our go-to is Good Witch (although, lately, it's not as great as it used to be) and all of the Hallmark movies. We also recently started Chesapeake Shores and are planning to watch through those. We still love The Crown and are excited for the next season. We love, love, love The Good Place. Please tell me someone out there has gotten to the Jeremy Bearimy episode? I was dying! ššš
I just finished binge watching the Curious Creations if Christine McConnell on Netflix. What a fun show! Itās like if Marilyn from the Munsters turned all Martha Stewart.
I just watched Season 2 of The Sinner. Anyone else watched it? Season 1 was so good but this Season is not connected except for the detective. I don't want to say too much. But it was engaging. Only 8 Eps so pretty much a weekend watch š
I thought Iād written off the Great British Baking Show, especially with their new hosts. But I just started watching the latest season on Netflix, and wow, Iām hooked! Iāll confess that while I was overseas last month, I caught a few episodes of the Great British Baking Show: Extra Slice, which is a humurous recap of the now-current season in the US. And the recaps drew me back to the program.
Did anyone ever watch In Treatment? Itās not new but I recently went through and really loved it.
I haven't seen In Treatment, but some of those old HBO shows are amazing. I watched The Wire ten years after it originally aired and loved it. Speaking of HBO, there's a new documentary called The Truth About Killer Robots out this week. I can't wait to watch it. I'm currently watching season 2 of Atypical on Netflix. It's so good!
I need to see Atypical. I remember the first season was great. I hear so much about The Wire too but never have gotten around to it.
@Tonya I had started watching The Good Place at some point last year and just couldn't get into it. I think I only gave it one or two episodes though. I decided to try it again and I now love it! I think I'm about 6 or 7 episodes into season 1.
Survivor! Yes, still watching after all these years. Enjoying this season a lot. I'm rooting for Christian.
I finished Atypical season 2 last night on Netflix. It was so good!! Even better than the first season, I thought. Iām really excited to start The Marvelous Mrs Maisel season 2 on Amazon this week, and then Travelers season 3 is out next week on Netflix. I wasnāt sure there would be a season 3, so Iām geeked about that. It was also really good timing that I took like half the month of December off work with two great series to watch. So much glorious slacking is about to occur.
Bodyguard on Netflix is a great, twisty, suspenseful, British cop drama. I had no idea where it was going or how crazy it would get. I love shows like that where you finish an episode and can't click on the next one fast enough. It grabbed me right away. It's only six episodes too, so a good one for watching in a weekend.
I LOVED the Bodyguard!! The last episode is !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Has anyone checked out "Tidying up with Marie Kondo"? I just got a recommendation for it on Netflix. I'm actually really excited to watch it! We tried a few new shows lately that we couldn't get into: The Patriot (Amazon Prime), Blacklist, Quantico, and Justified (amazon prime).
We also tried Homecoming last night and liked it. Wentworth is back on Netflix and we are LOVING it.
Oooh! I'm excited about Tidying Up!! Thanks for the tip. That woman changed my life.
[@sunshine], somehow I missed your post about The Good Place. I'm so glad you are loving it now! It's my favorite current comedy.
Just finished The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Season 2. Thoroughly enjoyed it, but not as much as Season 1. I am not crazy about where it could be going if there is going to be a Season 3...
Tidying Up is also good. Marie Kondo is exactly the same in real life as in the book! Such a loveable weirdo :) So, so likeable.
@snail I really liked Tidying Up too! I'm only one episode in, but the one episode I watched I really liked.
Has anyone else tried watching Bandersnatch? It's by the makers of Black Mirror and it's an interactive "choose your own adventure" show.
My husband and I watched it on Friday night. It was just meh for us. We only watched it once. My brother in law told us he's watched it several times and arrived at several different endings. I couldn't imagine watching it more than once. It just didn't do anything for us. What was most frustrating was when it would force us to choose a path by giving us two options that were essentially the same thing example "stay" or "don't go".... seriously?
I've also watched the first episode of Tidying Up. I liked it a lot. I'd forgotten some details of her method. I don't thank my clothes enough. LOL But they've all been folded vertically for years since she taught me. I look forward to watching more.
I don't like Black Mirror much anyway. When I heard Bandernatch was just ok I didn't even attempt it.
I haven't watched Bird Box either. I have run news stories warning people not to run around blindfolded. It's hilarious that this needs to be pointed out, but there's some kind of Bird Box challenge that has everyone behaving stupidly.
Bird Box just looks absolutely awful to me. I've also seen the news stories warning people not to do the "bird Box Challenge". Apparently Netflix even made an official statement warning against it. What is wrong with people?
