1. debm55 ...........

Good post...Thank you!

We are currently watching The Flight Attendant Murders on AMC+.

It's four episodes about a seriel killer in TX in the late 70's and early 80's. The victims were all flight attendants with the airline Braniff. We're about mid-way through the third episode.

2. Thank you, upthevibe.

[Polly Hennessey]

3. I just finished The Great British Baking Show (Netflix).

Before that: Bosch Legacy (Prime) and The Chelsea Detective (Acorn).

[debm55]

4. Thanks Polly. Is it better then the American baking shows?

5. Well

I’m not streaming anything right now, but we’re almost to the end of the 5th season of Xena: Warrior Princess on dvd.
I have a box set of The Hunger Games movies that I revisit in the winter.
Last winter, we also watched The Man in the High Tower series. I think it was on Amazon.

6. We also watched the whole series of LOST two winters ago.

Lots of big snows that winter. What a weird twisted tangle of a show that was!
I couldn’t look away.

I'm a MAJOR "Lostie".

I've seen the entire series six times! I get something new out of it every time I watch.

I saw the last season with a friend (we weren't at the same location but we'd watch the same episodes at the same time and then have really cool conversations). It was during COVID.

Lost is really about "The Heros Journey." The concept of Archetypes (think Carolyn Myss and Joseph Campbell) fascinate me. It's in my top 10 of favorite shows of all time.

[yellowdogintexas]

38. my daughter got me hooked on LOST. During the off season between

2 & 3 she convinced me to get the DVDs and catch up. Then I would watch it on Central Time and wait for her to watch it on Mountain TIme. She would call me when it was over out there and we would discuss it.

Back then it was on ABC, not streamed. It was a strange show. My mother would have loved it.

Who here remembers the weekly LOST thread? It was full of theories, explanations, projections and so on as one would expect. However the best part were the outrageous nicknames DUers gave to the various characters.

[Upthevibe]

50. yellowdogintexas.............

That sounds great!

I didn't watch Lost in real time. I think it would've been a drag to have to wait each week for a new episode and then wait over the summer for the next season.

I'm glad I was able to binge it.

[debm55]

7. Thanks thatcrowwoman. zena series sounds interesting.

[Lunabell]

9. Murder at the End of the World. Fabulous, one more show to go.

And Guy's Grocery Games, starting with season 1. We're on 2 now.

[debm55]

10. Thanks Lunabell,

[Lunabell]

40. And, "Let Us Prey."

It's about a stupid fundamentalist x-tian cult.

And also, I just started The serpent Queen. On starz. It's about Catherine de Medici.

[debm55]

41. Thank you for your suggestions. I will try them out.

[Chainfire]

11. We just finished watching The Last Detective (on Britbox) and are moving on

to Luther.

I have watched so many British crime shows in the last two years, I have started driving on the wrong side of the road. They have some good stuff.

[debm55]

14. That's funny.

[Upthevibe]

16. Chainfire........

How's The Last Detective? I love the British detective shows. It seems like something I'd like. what say you?

[Chainfire]

17. It is worth watching. It is not either the best or worst of British crime dramas.

They call the main character Dangerous, because that is the last thing that he is. The title comes from him being the "last detective" that anyone would send on an important investigation. Yet, somehow he ends up solving crimes. The program is not as graphic or violent as some of the shows and some might find it a little sleepy, but I liked it and watched all of the seasons.

[yellowdogintexas]

37. We are British TV fans also. The Brits sure do love their mysteries! nt

[Chainfire]

46. One of the many things that I like about the Brit TV dramas, is that people have real teeth!

American actors all have teeth chisled out of the purest ivory and look like they were aligned by an engineer; the best money can buy. The Brits also use much less makeup on men and women. Women who are playing a 51 year old role, don't try to look like they just turned 19. I also like watching police that are not armed. (we could use more of that) I find it interesting that across several dramas, cops are nearly all broken in one way or another; a good coppper just can't keep a good woman... (There are exceptions to prove the rule) Shocking to my bible belt roots is the lack of drama about extramaritial affairs; a common theme is that, "Well, it happens doen't it." Many times the cuckholed man will remain mates with his wife's lover. Over here we just kill them both.

I am ready to retire to a British village and spend the rest of my life in the local pub exchanging gossip and other lies. Of course that means I would need to start drinking, but nothing of value comes without sacrifice.

[IcyPeas]

13. Final season of Ozark and finally watching The West Wing.

[debm55]

15. Thank you Icy Peas

[Hotler]

18. Fargo. it sure is weird. nt.

[debm55]

19. Is it like the movie?

[Hotler]

56. Inspired by the movie and each new series different crimes and weirdness.

This season is three episodes in on FX I think.

[OldBaldy1701E]

20. I have not started it yet...

But I will be streaming the second season of 'Loki' and I plan to re-watch 'Moon Knight' again real soon. (He is one of my favorite Marvel characters of all time.)

I also have a few series that I have and I watch at least once a year. Ken Burns 'The Civil War' is a great one. Charles Kuralt's 'The Revolutionary War' is a masterpiece as far as I am concerned. As always, I watch Bravo's '100 Scariest Movie Moments' every Halloween. (I disagree with the top five... but that's another story for another time.)

I would mention the various Star Treks, but I would suspect you all could figure that one out already.

[debm55]

23. I have wanted to see Ken Burn's the civil war. Where do you stream it from? Thank you.

[yellowdogintexas]

36. If you already donate to your local PBS station you can access PBS Passport

for free. All his documentaries are there, along with a treasure trove of PBS goodies.

I think it is maybe $5 to $10 to subscribe, but I don't know since we piggyback it as one of the perks of being a station member.

[zanana1]

21. Downton Abbey

It's a snotty soap opera.

[debm55]

22. Sounds interesting. Ty.

[Elessar Zappa]

24. The Crown's very good.

I’m currently binging on the new Frasier revival. It’s really good!

[debm55]

25. I haven't watched miss the dad and the dog.

[Elessar Zappa]

26. Yeah, I hear ya.

I also wish Niles (David Hyde Smith) had come back.

[Glamrock]

27. Forgive me

I’m binge watching Canada’s Trailer Park Boys

[debm55]

32. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Is it good?

[Glamrock]

39. It!s awesome! But very, extremely low brow.

Three guys in a Canadian trailer park. Season opens with.them getting out of prison, season ends with them going back to prison. Filmed as a documentary. Hilarious if you have my juvenile humor.

[debm55]

42. It doesn;t sound like a documentary. I thought it was a comedy. --TY

[Glamrock]

52. It is

It’s just filmed like, say, cops or any other reality show.

[NCIndie]

28. Monk

I watch very little other than sports. Monk is harmless brain candy.

[bucolic_frolic]

29. Monk was gold

If someone in your family leaned a bit obsessive-compulsive with no one realizing it, Monk was the series for you.

[NCIndie]

31. "Leaned"? Full immersion OCD.

Not as bad as Monk and his brother, but the family is flush with such folks.

And, I like sleuth-based stories.

[debm55]

33. I watched Monk when it originally aired. Might give it another go to. TY

[hunter]

30. I enjoyed the live action "One Piece" on Netflix.

Some of us grew up to be pirates, good and bad.

[debm55]

34. I will have to look for that. We do get Netflix. TY

[yellowdogintexas]

35. Foyle's War on Acorn which we are really liking

We decided to drop Acorn for a while and have been busy the past few weeks trying to catch the new seasons of our favorites as well as watch a few that we 'always intended to watch'

Foyle's War is one of those intended to watch series. It is very good and really reflects England during the War. Good cast and well developed characters.

We have had Britbox for about a year and have so much to watch! Eventually we will end up switching back and forth between the two.

[Mme. Defarge]

43. The Monty Python documentary

on Netflix. Brilliant and hysterically funny. After watching the fourth episode last night about Monty Python and the Holy Grail, will take a break tonight to stream the movie, which I’ve never seen(!). Then finish the last two episodes.

The first episode was a trip down memory lane for me with discussions of some irreverent comedy groups and shows that preceded them, including Beyond the Fringe and David Frost’s That Was the Week that Was weekly TV show.

[debm55]

44. Thank you. I get Netflix. I will try to view.

[ms liberty]

58. I am going to see The Holy Grail on Wednesday at a theater and I'm getting excited, lol

It's showing in theaters all over the country on Monday and Wednesday for the anniversary of its original release. I haven't seen it in a theater since a midnight show in the early 80's, so I guess you can call it reliving my youth, but it's a 7pm show instead of midnight!

[Srkdqltr]

45. I watched Shetland. The first 8th season episode is out so i have to watch them 1 a week.

[Chainfire]

47. I liked Shetland too, but my wife didn't care much for it.

I just wish that they would plant some damn trees on the islands.

[Srkdqltr]

49. Can't please everyone I guess.

[debm55]

55. Thank you.

[Fichefinder]

48. Doom Patrol,

The Gilded Age and Torchwood

[debm55]

54. Thank you.

[Lulu KC]

51. Believe it or not, Frazier!

We had Hulu for Only Murders in the Building (great!) so we looked to see what else there was. We are laughing very hard. (Yes, Kelsey Grammer is a dolt, but I can compartmentalize that.)

[debm55]

53. /thank you Lulu KC

[Mr.Bill]

57. I'm just finishing up Ted Lasso.

Really enjoyed it.

[NewHendoLib]

59. we are also waiting for The Crown to resume. We recently finished binging

Endeavour, then went back to see all of Morse, then Lewis. We also finished the latest British Bakeoff.

We started Queen's Gambit again - we loved it last we watched it, and it is just as enjoyable the second time through.

Also are now up to date on World on Fire.

Anxiously awaiting final season of Handmaid's Tale.
