Are you streaming ( or binge watching ) any series on Netflix, or any other service? Tell us about it.

NF. Rob Lowe & John Owen Lowe in their second season of Unstable. A light 1/2 hour. Can’t have mayhem and murder every night.
 

Watched the entire first season of 'Ratched' on Netflix.

The series caught my eye, teasing that we would find out how Mildred Ratched became the 'loving and caring Nurse'
she showed in the movie 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest'.

Normal warning about nudity, language, etc.

From opening scenes, the lavish feel to the movie got my attention. Locations and camera/lighting are superb.
Sarah Paulson makes it almost worth watching and she does a good job with the slow pace of the writing.

(Spoiler: For those who enjoyed 'American Horror Story' series will probably enjoy this series.)
 
I'm on season 5 of Suits. It's so convoluted, I'm turning it off and on, threatening it to be more credible. lol
 
Finished House of The Dragon Season 2. Great series, enjoyed it a lot, but what a let down at the end. Now have to wait 2 years for the next one!
 
Started watching, HBO/MAX House of the Dragon, season 2, prequel to Game of Thrones. I wish I remembered season 1, but I can't, despite their provided recall at the beginning of episode 1. Too many years have gone by before season 2 started.

I loved Game of Thrones, the best series ever, IMO, after the Sopranos which was complete perfection!

We watched three episodes of Fall Out and then quit. Didn't like it at all.

But we did like Mayor of Kingstown tremendously. Jeremy Renner was great as the lead character.

I'm still trying to get to the first episode of fall out! Doubt I'll continue to watch. I like Jeremy Renner and thought about watching Mayor of Kingstown, but I don't like dramas dealing with the prisons and jails.

Thought I'd try watching West Wing, on Max, starting with season 1, which aired Sept. 1999. So funny. Rob Lowe was the hip character. Up on modern tech. He used a beeper! Ha. They were showing off their beepers!

It was fast paced, but as it was the Pilot I got lost in all the characters, though I think I get their drifts. IDK, maybe the ship has sailed for me continuing to watch this, so many new things I ought to pay more attention to.

OMG... I remember when we had to carry beepers for work when we were in the field. I never watched West wing but I bet my husband would have loved it because he loved shows with political themes.
 
I started watching Project Blue Book again. It was a History Channel series, now showing on the Roku channel. It's based on Dr. J. Allen Hynek's work with the U.S. Air Force's Project Blue Book (1952 to 1969). Dr. Hynek was a astrophysicist and ufologist. He started out as a skeptic then came to believe UFOs were real. @dilettante were you the one that recommended I stick with this one? I'm very engaged now.

 
Yes, I recommended it. I found it engaging on a number of levels. I enjoyed the 1950s atmosphere, Cold War drama, characters, and the way it handled the material. I just wish it had been given another season so they wouldn't have had to rush the ending.

Yes, it is very engaging. A couple of the plot lines have me intrigued. I enjoy seeing the old vehicles and also seeing Neal McDonogh. :love: I like Aiden Gillen's portrayal of J. Allen Hynek.

I think you'd like this as well, it has a 1950s noir feel too:


Sadly you can only see it on Prime Video. It hasn't been released to streaming syndication yet because it is still too valuable to Amazon.

Bizarre recordings. Lights in the sky. Missing people. It all really happened—and only some of the stories have explanations.

I enjoyed Project Blue Book. It got me so interested that I started reading up on the real guy. There's a youtube video with the real guy on a quiz show. What did you think about the ending of the series?

I'm still watching Suits. Actually, I went back to White Collar because season 8 of Suits.went back on the premise of the show. I'll probably go back to Suits later.

I'm glad you enjoyed Project as well. I'm just starting ep 6 of S1. I read the Wiki page on Dr. Hynek. I had also read about him back in the day when I was really interested in UFOs and got books on the subject. He's also featured (or mentioned) in a couple of the UFO docs I watched on T.V. Wikipedia links each episode to the real event they were based on. Haven't opened each of those links yet, but I also thought that to be interesting. I've never watched either White Collar or Suits.

Thank you for the recommendation D! Well, it's a good thing I have Prime then (free, thanks to my MetroPCS plan). :D Prime is my least favorite streaming platform though. Have you noticed they have a lot of UFO stuff? Besides that, a couple of movies and a couple of Sci Fi-Fantasy things like Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Primeval, there's not much I want to see (compared to other platforms). I started watching Vast, but the beginning is a yawn-er for me. I'll FF from a couple of scenes (best done on my tablet) and try not to miss important stuff. I'll pick up again on the T.V. I thought it was a series, so at least the time investment is relatively short.... a 92 minute movie.
 
NF. Where Were You Running From. This 7 part series was set in Turkey. A mother and daughter running from something evil. It was dubbed and not well. Usually I’m pretty tolerant. We watched episodes 1-3 and the final one. This didn’t feel worth spending 7 evenings watching. Some scenery was beautiful; I could have used more of it. If someone has been there, it might have more appeal. I think @jujube lived there once so it may be of interest to her.
 
Dear Child on Netflix. A complex thriller written by German author, Romy Hausmann. If you like plots with lots of twists and turns then, you will enjoy it.

There are some good twists and the young actress, Naila Schuberth, who was also in Bird Box (Netflix), is particularly good so, I'm not sure why I didn't love it.
