Huge binger, downton Abby and orange is the new black were my favorites.

Ozark
Dead to me
Schitts creek
The handmaids tale
The act
A million little things
Black Mirror
Stranger things

Currently Russian Dolls.

We have similar taste

I was home sick the other day and watched Russian Doll. Thought it was definitely binge worthy.

SaintsManiac · May 22, 2019

I just finished The Americans last night and all I can say is WOW.

I have Fosse/Verdon on my DVR.

Just started Dead to Me.

Not sure where to go after that. I'll probably watch some Black Mirror.

Russian Doll, A Very English Scandal and The Night Manager were all VERY good. Highly recommend.

Call the Midwife.

My daughter and I loved it and watched it on Netflix to season 7 . They only have one episode of season 8 even though it has played on PBS already. My daughter is 19 and has thought of becoming a nun ...we love Sister Monica Joan. My daughter just finished her first year of nursing.

I must thank people on the dis that had a thread on it and made me curious.

I think season 8 might be my favorite so far.

Binging on Blacklist right now, on season 3. What a shocker in season 3 when a major star is killed off. Maybe this person was leaving the show, but I was not aware of this, so WOW.

We just finished season 6 (most current season) and I really enjoy it so stick with it! I think it was season 5 where it jumped the shark for a little bit but it got back on track thankfully! Can’t wait for next season.

Definitely binge worthy! Such a different show, really liked it!

Last year I binged Downton Abbey which was just amazing!!

I have a friend who is a big Downton Abbey fan. I purposely call it Downtown Abbey, and it drives them crazy.

I use to make fun of my mom and brother for watching it. Then I gave it a shot and loved it.

soccerdad72 · May 22, 2019

I never seem to have time to binge watch anything. Need a good illness or a long flight to get a season or two done of a show. Would like to check out Dead to Me. I've heard a lot of good things about it.

Oh I have nothing against the show. My friend is just from London, and I love driving them crazy by saying it incorrectly.

Velvet and Velvet Collection, Spanish series with subtitles. Kind of campy, melodramatic, over the top. Complete snack food watching, perfect for a distraction. Costumes are pretty amazing.

Sopranos series as a sequel without James Gandolfini and most of the crew killed off? No thanks.

it was being filmed this week about a mile from me, I think his son is playing his younger self (it was all over local Facebook pages).

BadPinkTink · May 23, 2019

I dont stream, I buy DVD's from Amazon. Im currently in Phase 3 of Marvel Cinematic Universe, every movie and every TV series in timeline / chronological order.

Im just about to start Marvels Agents of Shield Season 4

Jessica Jones,
I hear good things from everyone, I don't know why I don't seem to be interested.

Just so you know Jessica Jones is part of Marvels Cinematic Universe. Its one of 4 Netflix TV series which have cross over characters and storylines. The other Netflix TV series linked with Jessica Jones are Daredevil, Luke Cage and Iron-fist. After starting out individually, they all eventually meet each other and join together in a Netflix TV series called The Defenders.

A prequel is a different prospect for me. Despite how the finale ended, I stopped believing a sequel was possible during the final season for obvious storyline reasons. James Gandolfini's passing set that in stone IMO. David Chase agrees.

Praying Colonel · May 23, 2019

Every Memorial Day weekend I watch Band of Brothers on Amazon/HBO and doing so again.

Tried to get into Dead To Me but I just had a hard time with the Linda Cardellini character and the big plot twist they introduced after the first couple of episodes. I was hoping for a dark comedy but there was a lot of dark and not a lot of comedy IMHO.

DW and I just finished The Last Kingdom on Netflix and can't wait for the new season, whenever that comes around.

Also just finished Catastrophe on Amazon Prime. Good show and sorry it ended.

We've watched all of the seasons of Mum that are available through Britbox and can't wait for the new season to hit. Also loved Derry Girls on Netflix and looking forward to the new season.

Also waiting on The Crown.

I just realized most of these shows are British or British-influenced. I guess that's the intersection of the Venn diagram between what I like and what DW likes.

lovesmurfs · May 23, 2019

Just finished binge watching Lucifer.

We're into British shows. Finishing up the current season of Poldark.

Those of you who like Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries would like The Mrs. Bradley Mysteries. I also enjoyed Shakespeare and Hathaway as well.
