TV Binging Thread šŸ“ŗ

Does anyone else watch The Crown?

I find the entire royal family thing to be archaic, irritating, ridiculous and frankly offensive. (But I guess they are good for the tourism business so they probably are worth it.).

But I do find the series interesting and well made.

Yep, it’s a show my wife and I watch together

We just binged Suits over the past 2-3 months and liked it. What should be our next series? Reacher?

I haven’t seen the last season yet but have enjoyed the show.

I’ve watched the entire Crown. I enjoyed it, especially the first couple of seasons as I wasn’t as familiar with the history. Yes, a lot of it was fiction, but the major historical events did happen so it was cool to see that. I wasn’t as in to the last couple seasons since I lived through that. I did notice the last season the writers seemed intent on making Charles out to be a better person/dad. Also, I wish we got more of Harry’s story, but with a different actor.

Suits was great. Luis Litt was the the best character, imo. I’m on season two of Reacher now and really like it. The second season is a little darker.

If you’re like my wife and I, in general we like different styles of shows. Having said that, there are a few shows that we’ve found a common ground and watch together. Justified, The Crown, Jake Ryan, Lupin, Homeland, Billions are a few of them.

Same. I thought the first 2 seasons were very good, then it continually went downhill.

The wife and I watched the first episode of Reacher tonight and was okay enough to get us to watch episode 2 tomorrow prob. We’ll see. A good sign the wife hasn’t vetoed yet.

And Luis Litt is an awesome character and his mannerisms and anger outburst are hilarious. We were sad to finish that show. Great writers.

100% accurate. Sadly.

From the people who did The Queen’s Gambit. First I’ve heard of it.

I saw a few commercials for this.

The big issue is when you primarily stream, you either a) pay for no commercials, or b) only see commercials for the services you have (i.e. Hulu won’t have Netflix advertisements).

I think I saw a commercial for this on the Roku channel (watching Coach). Otherwise, I haven’t heard much about it.

I saw an add for it not sure where. But it was on TV or a streaming service.

I put this down on my too watch list.

I’m a Clive Owen fan.

If you guys have not seen it highly recommend ā€œThe Knickā€ with him. That came out a few years back on Cinemax. From Steven Soderburgh. Really really good period drama.

Been meaning to watch that one. Started watching this last night:

Decent so far. Plot taking its time to unfold but it’s not uncomfortable or boring. Visually interesting enough to hold my attention.

Has anyone been watching True Detective every season? I watched the first season and started the second season, when they originally aired, then I lost interest. It seemed too ā€œweirdā€ to me. But they keep putting out new seasons and they seem to keep getting good reviews. It’s one of those shows where it feels like I should like it, so debating about picking it back up with season 3.

Season 2 wasn’t good.

Jodie Foster is supposedly the lead in the new one. Might give it a chance.

Season 1 is an all time classic though. So good.

I’ve enjoyed all of them all though they are definitely varying levels of quality.

I thought season 1 and 3 were excellent.

Season 2, I couldn’t finish it.

High hopes for season 4 of course.

Well, I feel better knowing it wasn’t just me in regards to season 2. I’ll have to give it a shot again with season 3.

I’ve heard similar feelings for Fargo, that people couldn’t make it through the Chris Rock season, but the rest were great.
