Very similar to “Breeders” which was good.

The Boys on Prime is really good. Two episodes into. Hooked me quick. Not your typical super hero show.
Ozark season 3 incredibly good

On netflix chek out " The Death of Stalin " off the charts funny
You, Unothodox
Pleasantly surprised by HBO's Perry Mason. Mediocre reviews led me to low expectations, which have been easily exceeded. Apparently the biggest problem for reviewers is that it's mistitled - it in no way is actually related to the books e.g. Perry was never a detective in the books. Nit pickers picking nits.
Spoiler alert:
edit: turns out it's a true prequel/back story depicting how Perry becomes the lawyer we all know and love.
Check out "The Capture" on "The 'Cock): 3 episodes in and liking it; very clean and professional, plot line sufficiently devious but not terribly confusing.
High Fidelity on Hulu ain’t bad.

Agreed on The Americans. It gets kinda slow at times, but is a good watch,
The Americans and Halt and Catch Fire.
IMO both are better than Mad Men.
AgreeQuote:

The wife and I just finished watching The Spy with Sacha Cohen and both thought it was excellent.
S3 of Norsemen drops on Netflix today.
Dummy was amusing
Absentia on Prime was a mindfuck. Finished S1 and there is more so I’m in.
4 eps in on The Americans. Thumbs up.
I've started watching Person of Interest, currently on Netflix. It's a somewhat pulpy near-future sci-fi surveillance state action crime drama, centering on an ex-special forces guy, sort of a washed out Jason Bourne, who teams up with a geek billionaire who happens to have personally developed the NSA-on-steroids system that analyzes the glut of data that's constantly swept up (email and telecom tracking is ubiquitous, as are public cameras and microphones, with facial recognition and tracking capabilities) in order to predict crimes; he has a limited back-door into it. The super-NSA system turns out not to care about vast categories of crime, such as police corruption and all sorts of other violent sleazebaggery. Our two heroes decide that they do care about those crimes, which they address using their combined superpowers of tech wizardry and ass kicking.
From my description, you can probably gather that there's some suspension of disbelief necessary here. But it's very well done and a satisfying watch. I'm going to stick with it for a while.
Hulu has somegreat series right now. I’m surprised.
Blowing Netflix out of the water.
High Fidelity
Futureman
Wu-Tang American Story.
There are more too.

we’ve been enjoying watching all the “Alone” seasons. basically survivalists try to last the longest in locations like vancouver island, patagonia. no film crews but they’re required to film themselves and they have some basic survival gear.
some are on hulu, some on amazon prime and then the current 7th season is airing on the history channel now.
we started with season 6 and you don’t necessarily need to go in order but they invite former participants for a couple seasons so that does give spoilers but still suspenseful and sucks you in. some of the shelters and other stuff they make is amazing
I really like the series. Didn't know about the bad reviews. I will say, it is a bit slow in parts. Getting good now that he is a "real" lawyer though.Quote:

Not sure what they rated it, but it sites Gore, Violence, and Smoking. My kids love to say that the gore and violence didn't bother them, but the smoking...
We saw one guy smoke a pipe I think. Pretty weird that they would even mention it.
It kinda helps to start at the beginning. Every season the new cast studies the prior casts and their successes and failures and then builds upon that.Quote:

Started Umbrella Academy based on a rec from one of my soccer players.....only 1 episode in....not bad, we’ll see where it goes.
Dagnabit; you were headed in the right direction with Perry Mason, and then took wrong turn with Cursed. Really disliked Cursed, but admittedly mostly because I was blindsided by the stealth YA classification. That really needs to be incorporated into the movie rating system, so us cloud screamers can avoid such horror.Quote:

I found the truth when I read your post, thank
Check out netflix Dracula
^^^^^^Dude....on your rec, I watched ep.1 of Dracula tonight.....damn, awesome!
Wife and I finished watching the first season of Teenage Bounty Hunters on Netflix. Funnier and more interesting than I would have expected. Kinda beach-read material but it had some surprisingly touching moments and the character development is better than expected. It might be because I went to Catholic school through 8th grade or that I'm currently raising two girls who seem to be racing towards their teenage years, but I was thoroughly entertained.
Just starting Lovecraft Country, with unreasonably high expectations ........
I’ve been binging on 3% on Netflix. Brazilian distopia where 3% of the ghetto dwelling 20yr olds get a chance to live on paradise island for life. Obviously, this creates dissent in the ghetto.
Good looking cast. Very well dubbed. Just wish there was more nudity.
If you like young adult angst in a desolate future, check it out. 4 seasons.

DANGER 5 just popped back up on Prime.
This Australian series is a wonderful blast of ribald camp drawing inspiration from Beach Party films, daikaiju, Sid & Marty Krofft, Thunderbirds Are Go!, Get Smart, and much more.
Tons of running gags, cheesy FX, low budget stop motion animation, and innuendo and raunch galore.
"See" on Disney+ (I'm bittorenting - fuck the Mouse)
I'm in.
