Binge Watching Series Recommendations

[Powerfibers]

I'm intrigued.

If you liked No Country For Old Men, check out Hell or High Water. Great movie, and a lot of funny moments sprinkled throughout. This scene in particular gave me the LOLs:

Great movie.

[Too Tall]

Did anyone mention Sneaky Pete Season 2? Terrific.

[dgaddis]

The new Lost in Space (Netflix) looks fun, only one episode in so far. Will better get it together soon tho, he's kinda annoying right now...

Last night we watched the first episode of season 2 of the Handmaiden's Tale (on Hulu) - so good/terrible!

Flint Town on Netflix is a VERY worthwhile watch. It's not even about the water crisis much.

EDIT: Oh yeah, season 2 of West World just started last weekend. Season 1 was great, Season 2 looks to be as well.

[ChristianWong]

Not quite a series but James Acaster: Repertoire on Netflix is downright hysterical. Some of the best stand-up I've seen in a while. Bonus points because it's not vulgar.

[Haircutqueen]

Also trying out Lost In Space. It has potential so far. As for a suggestion, how about Rick and Morty :D

[Too Tall]

Season 2 of "Dear White People".

The dialogue is sharp and characters are excellent. Sometimes the dialogue feels dated...if you wanted to nitpick.

[dgaddis]

I wasn't sure exactly where to put this...but I think y'all will enjoy it. Weird, random, uber-strange VHS tapes.

70 more Rick & Mortys now in the pipe. And that's a good thing.

I shouldn't have read the IMDB reviews. Who knew that people can negatively project so much of their worldview on a sci fi series. Watched all 10 episodes in a week. I'd call it a guilty pleasure and great for the 4K sets.

I don't read reviews for movies or shows, seems everyone just wants to hate on everything.

Agreed. I think that people's thoughts on a show or movie can ruin it more than previews or knowing what is going to happen.


What about commercials? Can anyone here watch a show that has commercials? I can't. I just bought Legion S2 after watching one episode on the FX app that had commercials. I think the same thing is going to happen with Killing Eve on BBC America.

We've been cableless for 2.5yrs now. We use Netflix and Hulu mostly, and some Sling. Sling has commercials, as does Hulu. Hulu's are too bad, as there's not too many, but annoyingly you end up watching the same few commercials over and over and over and over and over and over etc etc etc

Futureman on Hulu is an absolute SciFi riot. Only one season so far, but check it out.

Currently enjoying The Punisher.

Just got a Netflix notice that Fauda Season 2 is available to binge.....

[Jason Musgrave]

Fauda is excellent! It was recommended to me by a guy who's "been there done that" (major-league door-kicker in the teams)...I'm only about halfway through season 1 but man it's good so far.

[davids]

Not a series, a documentary available on Amazon Prime: Color Me Obsessed.

A two-hour documentary about the greatest rock band of the 1980s, their story told by their friend and fans. The members don't speak, the songs aren't played. If you're a Mats fan you will love it. If you've never heard of The Replacements you will want to experience what's been described.

It's thoughtful and moving and incredibly well done.

A few of us recommended season 1, but man, season 2 is just ridiculous. It's almost too much though. There have been too many moments where I really thought, wtf!?!? I really didn't want that to happen.

[Trevor]

To echo those who already said it, Lost in Space. We're really enjoying it right now.

Season 1 was good. Season 2 not so much.
