It turns out to be a soapy drama with three storylines set in three different eras. It’s silly but fun and I’m into it, but my favourite aspect is the fashion and decor of the 60s and 80s settings. Turns out it’s the same costume designer as Mad Men.<br /> <a href="https://cbswatchmagazine.com/style/why-women-kill-fashion" rel="nofollow">https://cbswatchmagazine.com/s.....ll-fashion</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/streaming-recs/page/2#post-2224495 Thu, 16 Sep 2021 20:20:18 +0000 rebekahphoto 2224495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>we love "What we do in the Shadows" Sarcastic and funny, enjoying the new season.&nbsp;</p> <p>Just started "Reservations Dogs" Hulu, Director Taika Waititi, highly recommend. Great young cast &amp; Indigenous production team. Smart, funny, sad. Good to see some contemporary portrayal of Native American life.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/streaming-recs/page/2#post-2224178 Wed, 15 Sep 2021 20:48:36 +0000 JAileen 2224178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Only Murders in the Building on Hulu. &nbsp;Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez. &nbsp;I love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/streaming-recs/page/2#post-2224120 Wed, 15 Sep 2021 18:26:14 +0000 Laurie 2224120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am back. Ok, how have I missed "Goliath" for 4 years??&nbsp; Sucked into it now!&nbsp;</p> <p></p> <p>Gave up on "Nine Perfect Strangers" and did not like "Clickbait" which had been recommended by a friend, so stopped after a few episodes.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/streaming-recs/page/2#post-2222299 Wed, 08 Sep 2021 16:25:19 +0000 Laurie 2222299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I liked The Chair, because I love Sandra Oh, but have to agree with friends who are professors that it was a little heavy on the cliches of doddering clueless professors and super woke students. (They said they couldn't watch it after the first episode) Interesting fact, it was filmed at 2 colleges in the Pittsburgh area. Speaking of Sandra Oh, we re-watched Sideways over the holiday weekend. I think it's in my top 20 favorite movies!</p> <p>Just finished the 4th season of "Unforgotten" on PBS/Amazon. Heavy and sad, shocking ending. Really well done. I love the lead actress, Nicola Walker.</p> <p>I stuck with Physical on AppleTV. Rose Byrne was outstanding. Recommend it, despite the subject matter. Wish I had something bigger than my iPhone to watch these great shows on, though. Enjoying Ted Lasso in miniature!</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/streaming-recs/page/2#post-2221290 Fri, 03 Sep 2021 12:56:55 +0000 Debora 2221290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Late to the conversation. Fun thread! Another thumbs up for Mare of Easttown and The Chair. We are currently watching Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building with Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez. Love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/streaming-recs/page/2#post-2218917 Wed, 25 Aug 2021 11:12:11 +0000 lisaflex 2218917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>agree with janet - mare of east wick is very good!&nbsp;<br />I loved succession!!!!!</p> <p>we are currently watching seven seconds on Netflix.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/streaming-recs/page/2#post-2218872 Wed, 25 Aug 2021 01:49:24 +0000 pil 2218872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m a *little* tardy, but finally watched Friday Night Lights - loved it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/streaming-recs/page/2#post-2218763 Tue, 24 Aug 2021 18:14:51 +0000 MsMary 2218763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>White Lotus was CRAZY. In a good way!</p> <p>Hubby and I watched all six episodes of The Chair on Netflix the other night and loved it. Sandra Oh is fantastic!</p> <p>Also enjoying Season 2 of Ted Lasso (the Christmas episode in August was just what the doctor ordered!), and liking Schmiggadoon, although not, perhaps, as much as I wanted to. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/streaming-recs/page/2#post-2218737 Tue, 24 Aug 2021 16:11:06 +0000 Laurie 2218737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loving Lupin! Just started season 2. And watched a few episodes of Nine Perfect Strangers which I'm finding just ok, despite the star cast.</p> <p>Just watched, and enjoyed, Hang-Ups on Hulu, based on the concept of Lisa Kudrow's Web Therapy from a few years ago, and is a little frenetic. Also enjoyed Sick Note on Netflix (Rupert Grint from Harry Potter fame), though they didn't end it well - guess they were expecting a 3rd season that will not happen.&nbsp; Both are comedy/dark comedy. </p> <p>Watched the trailer for the new Steve Martin + Martin Short series that's coming on Hulu - looks great!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/streaming-recs/page/2#post-2218720 Tue, 24 Aug 2021 14:45:15 +0000 JAileen 2218720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We just finished a six episode series called River on BritBox. &nbsp;Stellan Skarsgard and Nicola Walker were the leads. &nbsp;I thought I hadn’t seen him before, but he was in Melancholia. &nbsp;She was in MI5. &nbsp;It was excellent. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/streaming-recs/page/2#post-2218715 Tue, 24 Aug 2021 14:23:51 +0000 Carla 2218715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@ racheylou - I watched Lupin after it was recommended here, and really enjoyed it too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/streaming-recs/page/2#post-2218692 Tue, 24 Aug 2021 12:14:05 +0000 Janet 2218692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The White Lotus is crazy but very much worth watching. Sometimes disturbing, sometimes hilariously awkward. Jennifer Coolidge (from Best in Show, etc) is outstanding, as is Steve Zahn (Treme, etc). </p> <p>I’m now watching Succession (HBO) which is another slow motion train wreck drama, and with some LOL moments. </p> <p>Also started Nine Perfect Strangers (Hulu) with Nicole Kidman and Melissa McCarthy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/streaming-recs/page/2#post-2218667 Tue, 24 Aug 2021 06:35:30 +0000 rachylou 2218667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey! I had to come and say Lupin was an excellent recommendation! It’s the first time in ages I’ve enjoyed something without exploding spacecraft, magic wands or zombies Lol </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/streaming-recs#post-2207155 Sat, 03 Jul 2021 03:15:10 +0000 elpgal 2207155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loved Unbelievable on Netflix. It is a true story of a rape investigation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/streaming-recs#post-2207030 Fri, 02 Jul 2021 17:42:03 +0000 RoseandJoan 2207030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've started watching the Turkish series The Gift on Netflix (Atiye) and I'm completely hooked. </p> <p>It's the perfect balance of mystery, mythology and adventure for me and the heroine's wardrobe is fab to boot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/streaming-recs#post-2205654 Sun, 27 Jun 2021 19:57:57 +0000 Angie 2205654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Handmaid's Tale is one of the best TV shows EVER MADE, although hard to watch as a women.....</p> <p>For All Mankind was great.</p> <p>Killing Eve and GOT's was excellent.</p> <p>Watching Manifest now.....fun!</p> <p>LOVED The Durrells in Corfu and The Queen's Gambit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/streaming-recs#post-2205127 Sat, 26 Jun 2021 02:35:06 +0000 rachylou 2205127@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I like the things Joel Kinnaman does as a rule. Didn’t know he was in Patriot. I will check it out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/streaming-recs#post-2205023 Fri, 25 Jun 2021 18:42:33 +0000 Janet 2205023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MsMary, you got me watching For All Mankind. Joel Kinnaman (who I loved in The Killing) AND Michael Dorman (who is in Patriot, which I mentioned above). I especially love how the story turns to the WOMEN, though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/streaming-recs#post-2204890 Fri, 25 Jun 2021 06:32:06 +0000 Kate 2204890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just finished Katla (Icelandic), and Deutschland 86 and D89 (German) after having enjoyed the first series, Deutschland 83, a few years ago. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/streaming-recs#post-2204754 Thu, 24 Jun 2021 16:55:02 +0000 chewyspaghetti 2204754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laurie- I watched Halston. I enjoyed it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/streaming-recs#post-2204735 Thu, 24 Jun 2021 16:08:24 +0000 Laurie 2204735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Did we already discuss Halston (Netflix)? I feel like I'd seen someone mention it. Watched the first episode last night while multi-tasking in the kitchen. The actress who plays Liza Minelli was spot on!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/streaming-recs#post-2204474 Wed, 23 Jun 2021 14:58:57 +0000 karen13 2204474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I finally watched (and loved) The Queen’s Gambit. Great fashions, too. DH and I just finished WandaVision, but I think you might enjoy it less if you haven’t watch the Marvel Avengers movies.</p> <p>We are currently watching Sweet Tooth. So far it is sweetly-weirdly-wacky. I rarely watch current shows but stumbled across this looking for something without explicit sex scenes, as watching the first episode of Fleabag with college-age DD was just too dang awkward. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/streaming-recs#post-2204310 Tue, 22 Jun 2021 17:26:05 +0000 MsMary 2204310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Speaking of fun 80s (well, mostly 70s) fashion, The Americans is one of my all-time favorites. It's included in Amazon Prime. SO GOOD! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/streaming-recs#post-2204277 Tue, 22 Jun 2021 14:59:12 +0000 Jules 2204277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For a light, binge able comedy with several seasons and familiar sitcom tropes with some updated social messaging Superstore is very good. We watched most of it on Netflix then actually bought the last season which isn't streaming in Canada.<br />On Becoming a God in Central Florida with&nbsp;Kirsten Dunst&nbsp; is something a little different in feel (it's described as dark comedy and absurdist) well worth the watch, although it got cancelled after the first season. Some fun 80s fashion on display. On the other hand I did not enjoy the first episode of Physical on Apple TV, also set in the 80s with some similar themes. It looked like a fun 80s romp but it's very much in the main character's head and it was not a fun place to be due to her eating disorder.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/streaming-recs#post-2204250 Tue, 22 Jun 2021 13:36:45 +0000 Janet 2204250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also loved Mare of Easttown (and OMG the accents and local touches are so on point — I spotted a tee shirt for a club where my stepsons’ band played in Philly a few times). Dark but so well done.</p> <p>I binged two seasons of the Icelandic mystery/drama Trapped. Tore through the latest season of Handmaid’s (again, sometimes it’s hard to watch but so well done). </p> <p>I am about to get back into season two of Patriot on Amazon Prime. Dark and sad and funny all at once. An unusual show.</p> <p>My husband and I have been rewatching Game of Thrones. It’s amazing how much I’m getting from rewatching it! There are so many characters and plot lines that watching it a second time is almost better than there first because some things take on more significance, knowing how the story plays out in the future. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/streaming-recs#post-2204101 Mon, 21 Jun 2021 19:35:42 +0000 Laurie 2204101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Been watching The Durrells in Corfu on Amazon(or Netflix?). It's nice and light.&nbsp;</p> <p>Read an interview with Rose Byrne this weekend, so watched a few episodes of Physical on Apple+ - it's engaging, but difficult subject matter around eating disorders. Has potential, will watch another and decide.</p> <p>Wish I had HBO for Mare of Easttown. Everyone has raved. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/streaming-recs#post-2204060 Mon, 21 Jun 2021 16:14:28 +0000 MsMary 2204060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another good one on Apple+ is The Morning Show with Jennifer Aniston. We also LOVED For All Mankind on Apple+, which is an alternate history of the space race in which the Soviets land on the moon first.</p> <p>We just finished Lupin Season 2 and loved it.</p> <p>Started watching Manifest on Netflix last night and it is SUPER bingeable!</p> <p>We are also loving Brokenwood Mysteries, which is set in New Zealand is is sort of a combination of Columbo and Murder, She Wrote. We're watching it on AcornTV via Amazon Prime.</p> <p>And yes, Mare of Easttown on HBO is the best thing in a long time.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/streaming-recs#post-2204010 Mon, 21 Jun 2021 09:04:24 +0000 Sal 2204010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No I haven't......I will look out for it though.&nbsp; I do like a British Crime Series or Scandi one....</p> <p>I watched Season 1 and 2 of Handmaids - I might be able to cope with more seasons now but I couldn't in 2020.....just too grim.&nbsp; It felt too close to some of the fundamentalist politics we were seeing. </p>
