What Do You Watch?

Watching the Twilight Zone reboot right now. Just like the original show, each episode is independent of the other shows. They had 1 episode of astronauts on the launch pad, when Russia launches nukes at the US. The bombs are due to hit in 30 minutes. They are suppose to scrub the mission but they launch anyway. They had a great set up that looked like a true futuristic space capsule. I could see making a series on this premise.

Netflix - Connected series.

Can someone watch the Digits episode and explain Benford's Law?

Damn girl, you shouldn't be so shy and come around more.

Homecoming on Amazon Prime... dark and subtle, but you keep watching and it pays off at the end.

Watched The Bodyguard on NETFLIX and it was a one and done season (no cliffhanger leaving you wondering if there is more) and kept us hooked to the end.

Unbelieveable -- "limited series" on NETFLIX. Interesting story worth watching but the grabber is it is all based on a true story. Makes the ending memorable indeed.

Was that about the British bodyguard cop?

This past Spring & Summer...I've been watching the garden veggies grow.

This fall, it will be the grass...and it's STILL more interesting than anything on TV...

I ❤ Lt. Joe Kenda. His voice and the way he tells the stories.

well my my my

Me too but I think I have seen every show of his twice, at least, maybe more.

Great thread. I am also looking for some new options.

If you desire something completely different...
Netflix, two Russian shows:

To the Lake, a post-pandemic escape adventure, shot in 2019
Better than us, a futuristic robot/AI drama

As much as I hate Putin and vowed to boycott anything from Russia after his little victorious adventure several years ago, these are good shows, and I binged them — a true guilty pleasure

So far I can't get past videos of young women dancing braless.

Losers.

In a "winning is everything" society, how do we handle failure? This series profiles athletes who have turned the agony of defeat into human triumph.

Why Yes, Yes I do :razz:

Scanning YouTube clips, I stumbled upon a German series titled Maximilian about young Emperor Maximilian I. German language with English subtitles. Originally aired on Starz, but can be purchased on Amazon Prime for $13.99 a season. I really enjoy historical drama pieces so I may just bite the bullet and order.

UglyBear · Feb 14, 2021

For some weird reason, I’m really enjoying these on Amazon:
Tudor Monastery Farm
Victorian Farm

Simple premise of three historians living for a year in “period” lifestyle as farmers. Just calm, happy and really well done.

If you like documentaries, Curiosity Stream is a good app.

Some of the favorite shows I've watched were period reality series. Top 1 was Frontier House. Followed by Texas Ranch House.

They are anything but calm. There is a lot of drama between the characters. I feel the producers go out of their way to stir the pot.

Some old threads about that subject...
