I’ve enjoyed and recommend several series lately on Amazon Prime: Downton Abbey, Mr. Selfridge, Doctor Thorne, and Poldark to name a few.
Piracy is a victimless crime
Watch Sherlock before you cancel. I love it, another season will be coming out, but it will be awhile until it reaches Netflix. My daughter roles her eyes at me for being a “fan girl “ at my advanced age of 42, but just hearing the theme music makes me happy.
I’ve also watched all the episodes of Poirot, Midsommer Murder, Rosemary and Thyme (mediocre), Murder in Paradise and Psych on Netflix...took years to watch all those shows, by the way! I don’t watch TV constantly. Once I get through Inspector Morse I will be out of shows to watch. Then what will I do while washing dishes or folding laundry??
Yes; I have trouble maneuvering through Amazon and Netflix. I generally give up! I have the original Poldark for the 70s and prefer Upstairs, Downstairs to Downton Abbey - just me.
All in the Family was a great series; when I see it and Sanford and Son I always watch.
I've seen what HBO is playing. A lot of the movies are rated less than 50% by Rotten Tomatoes, and many are rated below 30%. I'd say Hollywood is killing itself.
Well, I am a stooge fan but not that much. I prefer Laurel & Hardy although Curley is hilarious. On Facebook, folks were talking about a Hanna Barbara cartoon about the stooges as little kids - with a bald Larry except for those tufts of hair on the sides of his head. Apparently, it was cancelled before it went to air. Looked great!
One show we’re going through now is Naked City - a brilliant Sterling Siliphant show from the early 60s. Nothing is filmed in a studio; all in the streets and tenements of NYC. Absolutely brilliant series. Then we watch Bilko over and over.
That’s why I now watch KDramas.
Someone had to bring those up! American fictional TV is almost unwatchable once you have decent characters, good plots and story lines, and occasional doses of reality. (Unless you are watching something completely unrealistic like My Love from Another Star).
I’m watching “W” now. Unlike anything you’ll see on American TV.
My teenagers like Sherlock, but it didn’t do much for me. I’ve seen most of the others. I agree Rosemary and Thyme wasn’t brilliant, but I liked Thyme.
I listen to recordings from “The Great Courses” while doing housework, or Spanish Christian pop music if I’m sad or Steve Earle or Halestorm if I’m angry.
I am watching that one too. It’s pretty amazing.
My favorite of all-time is “Master’s Sun.” Love Gong-Hyo Jin, and I can’t wait for her new one, “Jealousy Incarnate.”
I got episode one in last night. It’s classic Gong Hyo Jin and Lee Mi Sook, my favorite queen of crazy has a role in it too.
Actors and actresses tend to be morons.
More movies, less bullsh*t.

great move sir
I haven’t watched TV in over 30 years. My grandson put me on his subscition to Netflix. I watched Breaking Bad which I thought was funny. Then I watched “Lillyhammer” and almost peed my pants laughing. Stevie Van Zandt is a comic of epic proportions.
