What TV shows are you all watching? I have both Netflix and Amazon Prime and am open to suggestion.

I am watching Schitt’s Creek currently - not the best but not too terrible.

Still working on Scandal, but also on Netflix:

Special. Written and starring a fellow with CP. NOT inspo porn so unique that way.

Kim’s Convenience. About a Canadian family. Cute. I am not Korean, but not many opportunities to watch a series with people who look like me.

When They See Us. Ava DuVernay’s 4 part series. Superb.

I quite like Schitt's Creek, fun characters.

We are watching Sharp Objects right now but it's on HBO, quite dark but well done.

Watched The Politician, I thought it was just just OK. We tried Succession but never got into it.

We watched Queer Eye too and liked that. The guys are very likable.

I tried Succession too, but couldn't get through the first episode.
We just finished Rellik (British crime series) which was a little dark, but different and intriguing. Looking forward to the Crown, which starts again in 2 weeks. My husband is watching Kim's Convenience and thinks it's quite hilarious, and like the bad Canadian I am, I've never seen it nor Schitt's Creek, but both are award-winning series.

Truly, the TV show I watch all the time and absolutely love : Hockey Night in Canada on CBC!

Trapped. Icelandic. Wonderful! It's on Amazon Prime.
Untouchable. Documentary on Harvey Weinstein. Hulu. May be found on other services as well. Oftentimes hard to watch, but excellent.

I am so excited about The Crown. We have just started watching Better Call Saul. Yes, I know we are behind the times. Great acting and storyline. Not my usual.

There are loads of much older tv shows that are so much better than many of these in my opinion. But I skipped them and focused on the new. I can offer more and better suggestions if you’re interested

If you like Scandi stuff - WALLANDER.

So many of the ones mentioned. Also if you missed any of these...

- Top of the Lake (Elisabeth Moss from Mad Men and Handmaid's Tale, which are two of my favorite shows from the last decade)
- Justified (it's been a few years but a really good show, love Timothy Olyphant)
- Godless (a western with strong women!)
- the first season and the latest season of True Detective
- Black Mirror (uneven but when it's good it's really good)
- Big Little Lies
- Killing Eve
- Better Call Saul (the prequel to Breaking Bad, another of my favorites)
- Russian Doll
- The Good Place
- The Americans
- 11/22/63 (adapted from the Stephen King novel)

My Brilliant Friend - A GoodReads synopsis “the first in Elena Ferrante's quartet about best friends from a Naples ghetto, is a novel about power: who holds it, how it is won and lost, and what happens when power shifts occur. It is a story of violence: domestic and cultural, physical and emotional.”
Occupied - From IMDB: In the near future, Norway is occupied by Russia on behalf of the European Union, due to the fact that the newly elected environmental friendly Norwegian government has stopped the all important oil- and gas-production in the North Sea.
Unforgotten - British show about cold case murders.

I’m with Janet. Justified was absolutely brilliant once you wade through the first few episodes. The last episode of Season 1 is soooo good, and sets the scene for the rest of the seasons. An old show, but one of the best!

More excellent OLDER SHOWS. Much better than the newer shows, IMO:

Mad Men - a visual feast.
Battlestar Galactica
Friday Night Lights
The Wire
Breaking Bad
Game of Thrones

Oh, and if you are in the mood for something charming, I loved Detectorists with Mackenzie Crooks and Toby Jones.

I couldn’t get into Justified, but I’d like seeing Timothy O . And I agree with Wallander being one of the beat crime series ever . How about Luther ? And Bosch ? Both are terrific.

Angue, absolutely. This time of the year is slow for me both at work and home, so I finally get to catch up on TV after a hectic summer and early fall.

Yes, more votes for Outlander (love the books more but the series does it pretty well) and Game of Thrones! We also liked Occupied and Wallender. Also Big Little Lies.
