Steubenhoosier Posted December 31, 2022 Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 One of my favorite couple of days. SyFy network running continuous Twilight Zone episodes. Record what I can’t watch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maedhros Posted January 2, 2023 Report Share Posted January 2, 2023 Deadwood is amazing. Back in my mid 20s, my roommate and I watched through the series, when Netflix still came to you on discs. Good times. There's a movie, too, which is a nice send off for our characters since the show was prematurely cancelled by HBO after just three seasons. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reacher Posted January 2, 2023 Report Share Posted January 2, 2023 Over the last several months have watched the entire seasons for Ozarks, Cobra Kai, the Recruit and Jack Ryan. Peaky Blinders and Schitts Creek are up next. Only a few more months until season 2 of Jack Reacher drops! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maedhros Posted January 3, 2023 Report Share Posted January 3, 2023 I just joined this thread with the Deadwood discussion, so I'll throw out a few binge shows that haven't been mentioned. Hilda on Netflix is a delight. Ostensibly a kids show, it's comfort food for just the two of us even at 40. It's similar to the joy I get from some Calvin & Hobbes or Hayao Miyazaki, that sense of wonder you had as a child that there's a great big magical world out there to be explored. I wish I could ride a water spirit, and my wife wishes she could keep knittens. Derry Girls is also a fun watch. The recently release third season is the final one, less than 20 episodes total, so it's a quick binge. Watch with subtitles on, at least the first time, because the Irish accents and slang are part of the fun but can be tricky to follow. On FX/Hulu, Welcome to Wrexham is an easy recommendation for any sports fan. Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds are the stars driving this thing, but the show is about more than them. It focuses on the people involved with the team and the community that supports it. The show is a great look at what sports can mean to a community, a family, and the way it can bring people together. Last one for now is Midnight Mass. It's a slow burn, that boils over into profound moments I just had to tell someone about. Watching it the first time I was comparing it to the best Stephen King, where the supernatural and horror elements are just the catalyst for interpersonal conflicts already present in a small town. It made sense, then, when I learned Mike Flanagan is a huge King fan, and will be making his own adaptation of the Dark Tower. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoyeCowbell Posted January 4, 2023 Report Share Posted January 4, 2023 1923 is shaping up to be really good. Layered and griping story; the casting is great too. Brandon Sklenar is a star in the making. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha, my wife and I were watching Bad Sisters one night about a month ago. Great, fun series, but the Irish accents are strong. I was admittedly pretty high at the time, but suddenly I was like, “Why are the subtitles on? They are speaking English?” But my wife was like listen closer, it’s really hard to understand. As I concentrated a bit more, she was right. I needed the subtitles. Didn’t have any issues until she mentioned. Now, I will use them sometimes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, when I’m back home and talking with family it definitely comes back out. And yes, PEAKY absolutely needs subtitles for me! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted January 4, 2023 Report Share Posted January 4, 2023 I'm not a binger in the sense that I don't like to watch more than one episode at a time. Therefore, it reduces what I watch. Just last week, I started watching Season 4 of Manifest. It was actually released in early November, but I did not want to get started on it during Thanksgiving/Christmas when I'm just too busy to enjoy. Watched the first episode last Friday and Episode 2 yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But sometimes that makes it an expendable experience and the impact of the project is diminished. The "water cooler" shows that are released weekly (GoT being the best example) have the ability to generate excitement and social conversation that enhance them beyond the episodes themselves. It stretches out the experience, which is fun too. I think it's nice to have a blended viewing schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
