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

We watched this three part PBS series over the past few days. It was interesting.

Henry David Thoreau: A Film by Erik Ewers and Christopher Loren Ewers and Presented by Ken Burns

It inspired me to observe nature more when I go to the park.
 
1776296267901.jpegStarted Your Friends & Neighbors (2026) , season 2 last night. It's on Netflix, and after the first 2 eps it shows single eps weekly on Monday nights.

If you liked season 1, it's more of the same with a few new wrinkles, e.g. a supporting role for James Marsden as a very rich nutty tycoon type.

Jon Hamm continues good work. So far, to my taste, there's too much attention to conflict between several of the characters. And at this point, showing every female character as an "empowered woman" is getting a little trite.

Still, it's a good production, so here's hoping it'll be interesting the rest of the way. There will be 10 episodes, and it's already renewed for a 3rd season.

Finished bingeing all seasons of Veronica Mars and enjoyed it. Not sure what I might binge next, if anything. I've moved to movies and documentaries for the time being.

I thought it was a bit different, the premise, and enjoyable. I'm still liking the series of Lincoln Lawyer. Someone said it's not the same as the movie or books but I never saw nor read those. So to me it's all new. I'm in the last season but this one is still on so a new season will be coming. I'm already grieving ending it though. JUST as enjoyable imo. Also with some major twists.

Not deep series but fun, yet somewhat serious but with good twists too. I really like the characters.

Not sure where I'll head next. I don't do movies generally but will see. I have plenty of options since I don't do Netflix always and so when I do get in the mood there is a ton I've never seen.

I did just get a notice my price is getting upped but it's still under $10 a month so I'm good with that.

'The Law According to Lidia Poet' on Netflix. S03 was just released, 6eps. I decided to watch S01 and S02 again, also 6eps each, before hitting S03. It's worth watching, even if only for the beautiful clothing! Lidia Poet was the first attorney in Italy, 1883.

If you liked The Office, there is (at least to me) a hilarious show on Prime called Jury Duty. The segments are only 30 minutes long so it doesn't take much time to get through the whole season.

The premise is that a guy is called for jury duty and he is the only one who isn't an actor and isn't in on the joke. The judge and bailiff are very realistic, and the other characters are the same whacky people you would expect to find in a cross-section of society. The kicker is that an egocentric James Marsden is thrown in as himself. Some are familiar with him as an actor, some aren't, but they all end up resenting his "self-importance". In one episode, he calls the paparazzi to create a scene and get him out of jury duty, but instead it ends up with the jury being sequestered.

I found it a very funny watch.
