Binge Watching Series Recommendations

Ozark - Dark, brilliant, brooding. Great acting, very moody cinematography and an incredible script

+1 from me. Ozark season 2 is my current go-to for the easy hour on the rollers.

Both seasons of The Good Place are available on Netflix.

So much fun.

Mystery Road - 2018 TV series from australia. There is a earlier 2013 movie of the same name also worth watching.

Basically, it is Nordic Noir placed in the Australia Outback. Instead of everything being dark and brooding, everything is parched, sun baked and depressed. It also gives a look at the depressed life of the aborigines which doesn't seem all that different than the native americans living in the Dakota reservations.

Happy on NetFlix. This bizarre ultra violent crime drama rest in the hands of a fallen cop and a fantasy imaginary friend. I'd hate to spoil the rest. Google the cast and decide for yourself. The fantasy friend is played by Patton Oswalt opposite Christopher Meloni as the former cop (yikes). It's visceral, dark, hilarious, sexdrugsrockandroll all at the same time.

We just started 1983 on Netflix. An alternate future based in Poland with political and homicide story lines. So far so good.

Trying to find season 1 of Killing Eve. I’m a fan of Sandra Oh.

Pretty sure it is on Amazon Prime.

Pretty sure it is on Amazon Prime.

I see advertisements for it on Hulu. Looks like it's on Amazon Prime too.

The End of the F***ing World

Another wonderfully done, short British series.

My latest trainer fare has been The Expanse on Amazon prime.

Finally caught up on all of S2 of Atlanta when it popped up on Hulu on New Years Day. Best thing on television.

I just noticed it was up the other day. Only problem is that it is a "watch it together" show so it takes a while to get through.

I’ve definitely been busted sitting down to watch something together and the thing starts playing at the end credits.

Not a binge watch, because it is just one movie. But after a somewhat circuitous route on the Interwebs starting with the Belgian classics, I ended up with a movie called "In Bruges". It has Colin Farrell, Brendon Gleeson, Ralph Fiennes and Clémence Poésy (beautiful actress IMHO - she was in the binge watchable series "The Tunnel".) It is about hitmen cooling off in Bruges. Hijinks ensue. Recommended.

Is this the first mention of The Tunnel in this thread? My wife and I just finished binge watching season 1, and are part way through season 2. Really enjoying it—I was surprised to read that season 1 originally aired in 2013.

A couple of folks have mentioned the Swedish drama The Bridge, which The Tunnel is based on. Will need to watch The Bridge once we’re done with The Tunnel.

[j44ke]

The Bridge is supposed to be better and slower and darker. Haven’t seen it yet though.

[Too Tall]

Russian Doll. That is all.

[LarryA]

The Bridge (all three of them) is a great watch.
