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

Netflix just recently added season 6 of "Virgin River" and I'm binge watching it. I wallow in shame and self loathing over the realization that I am addicted to this sappy crapfest.:(
I am so looking forward to watching this! It's been so long, I've kind of forgotten where they left off.
But, I sure hope Charmaine ? has had those babies by now ..lol.
 

We just wrapped up the second season of The Serpent Queen on STARZ. It is loosely based on the life of Catherine De Medici, the Queen of France in the 1500's. She was known to be brutal and calculating, and the show doesn't pull any punches. What is especially interesting is that the women in the series are really the ones pulling the strings. Highly recommended.

I want to catch than one. The De Medici family and their "rule" of France is fascinating. I had to learn a little bit about it when I took Art History for my art credit. I've forgotten it now so would probably love that series.
 
I'm thrilled with the new season of Queer Eye on Netflix. Makes me cry every show.
OTOH, I watched less than one episode of Black Doves, enough for me. Also 100 Years of Solitude I lasted 4 eps and was mostly bored so stopped.
Me too. The candidates for life makeovers are great and the Vegas setting makes them even more interesting. We loved the episode with the former Vegas showgirl.

We've gotten to the wedding episode but they have all been heart wrenching. I think Jeremiah is a great addition to the show and gels well with the other members. He, Antoni and Jonathan cry so much it is hard not to get teary-eyed.

I watched the first season. One of these days I'll jump onto STARZ for a month to watch the second season. I tend to jump from one service to another after I have watched what I want to watch on a particular service.

Yeah, we do too. We just got STARZ for this and will jump into Paramount Plus/SHO for Dexter: Original Sin, which is a prequel to the original series. IMO the second season of The Serpent Queen is better than the first and the ending is incredible.
 
Great series and well done, all the male to male kissing was far over done, spoilt it for me!
Yeah, we struggled through the first episode, then decided to bail. I got tired of the continuous gay scenes, both graphic and otherwise, and also the commando babes. Those tropes have gone on way too long.

Ben Wishaw is famously gay, so based upon several of his recent roles it occurred to me that perhaps he'll only accept homosexual parts these days. Just a guess.

It's too bad about the series, because the plot writing seemed fine, but the other stuff became very off putting.
 
I started watching the new Matlock (Paramount+) and Cross (Amazon Prime). I like both of them so will continue to watch.
IMO the sole draw for the series is the incomparable work of Kathy Bates. There's nothing much more of interest other than she. It's a squeaky clean network com/dram with rather antiseptic writing, although there is a fairly cute office squabble/romance between an employee couple that holds one's interest. It's nice to see Bo Bridges get some work, but his part is rather minor. So we'll watch to the end, but it's not a favorite.

I agree that she's really good in this. I'd never been "into" her before; don't think I saw much she was in. I love how she works that "old lady...invisible" thing to her advantage. :D I sure didn't expect that twist at the end of the first episode. I'm liking it more than I expected to.
 
My wife and I started watching 'The Sons of Sam: A Descent Into Darkness' on Netflix this evening. A reporter believes that David Berkowitz was a member of some kind of satanic cult and that he wasn't alone in his killing spree.

It's interesting watching video of NY society back in the '70s. Whether or not the series holds our interest through four hour-long episodes remains to be seen.

What also spoilt it was that the plot felt too familiar, borrowed.
It was a cross between a 007 and the Red Sparrow novel (which was an awesome book).
Agree that suddenly seeing two males naked, actually having sex, is extremely visual and left zero to the imagination; even IF one even wanted to go there!
 
I am binge watching Baby Reindeer this morning. It's a British limited series on Netflix. I think it's good but some may want to be cautious about it if you are sensitive to some things now, like abuse. It's about a comedian who befriends a woman and it gets quite complicated.

Update: I finished watching it and still thought it was worth watching.

Note: I have updated the thread title at someone's suggestion.
I've just finished, Black Doves and can now say that I really enjoyed it. The soundtrack was good too. - Having said that, the story felt finished at the end and I don't know that I'd watch further seasons.
 
Cool! My father had the same name as a famous movie producer and actor. Does that count for anything? :ROFLMAO:

American Fiction is a funny movie! :)
I really didn't find the movie to be funny, but more maudlin. I can relate to the issue with his mother, which is sad. I didn't like that they followed the trend of all the new stuff these days and severely overdid it with the F and MF words! But I think the point of how stereotyping has been prominent, in fact propagated by the entertainment industry was well taken. I wound up fast forwarding through some of it. I'm glad I didn't pay to see it !
 
I paused watching, Bodies, on Netflix to what Matlock with Kathy Bates (on Paramount+), which I enjoyed, but not as much as I'd anticipated.

Now watching Squid Game 2!, on Netflix. Freaking yay!
 
I just finished up watching the newest season of Virgin River on Netflix. I can't wait for season 7 to come out. I think it's a great show with good acting and believable characters.

I've just started watching The Madness on Netflix which is a limited series. I hope it's good 👍

My husband and I started watching Virgin River and didn't get past the second episode, but I know lots of people do like it. As for The Madness, we did watch that one and it was good. Just goes to show there is such a thing as being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
