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

Today i thought i'd watch the first episode of the Burroughs on Netflix ended up watching 5, will watch the other 3 tomorrow. Kinda Sci-Fi/Horror. Produced by the Duffer Brothers who gave us Stranger Things. Should've known they'd hook me! This time the main characters are seniors. There is a plot device in common--just as many people make assumptions about kids imaginations people often make assumptions about the cognitive functioning of seniors. Also both groups often aren't really listened to by the between generations which can be annoying but also can lead lead to either group putting something over or getting the upper hand in some way because their smarts and abilities were underestimated.
Just finished The Burroughs. It's a bizarre one, but entertaining and pulls you in. No regrets.
 
For anyone who has an Amazon Prime subscription, a series entitled Imperfect Women has been released and it stars two powerhouse actresses... Kerry Washington and Elisabeth Moss. Kate Mara is no slouch either. It is a thriller/drama that chronicles three long-time friends and starts with one of them being murdered.

Basically everyone in the series is "imperfect" as friends, husbands and kids are all damaged. It has lots of great twists and turns. We've seen 7 episodes, and the finale airs on Wednesday. If you enjoyed Big Little Lies, to me this is similar and recommended.

Have that on my list,, but am way behind watching things.
 
We finished our last series so we searched Netflix again. A new thriller set in Spain came up. It is based on a book called "The Snow Girl" and involves a 5 year-old girl who is abducted at a Christmas festival in Malaga. Of course, it has the usual cast of characters... a "seasoned" journalist with his new, young female apprentice and a hardened female detective with her young male sidekick. We're into the second episode and have enjoyed it. We love shows set in other countries. BTW, this one is now dubbed in English.

A second season has already dropped, so the first season clearly had an audience.

Will have to check that out, i've watched a some Spanish mystery movies and enjoyed them. I watched a lot of foreign movies as a teen and in my early twenties living where there were theaters that were dedicated to them and Independent American films.
 
I finished the Vietnam in HD last night. That was an excellent series. They also made a "WWII in HD" that's also available on PrimeVideo. My wife said she's interested in that, so we'll watch it together, I guess after we finish the Ken Burn's documentary on the American Revolution.
