Is there a thread for what people are streaming they find enjoyable? Like the “what are you reading or listening to “ threads ? Other than the named title of the shows in the playroom?

I would like to know some good stuff to check out

Shows I’m currently digging streaming:

The Americans
Chernobyl
Handmaid’s Tale
Lucifer
Brooklyn nine nine
Russian doll
Travelers

Lucifer (well, I finished it, my wife hasn’t, but it’s good enough to watch again)
Easy season 1
After Life (finished it, but I love Ricky Gervais)

Ready to start the new season of Arrested Development, Good Omens, and maybe a few more.

Currently enjoying the second season of Killing Eve on BBC iplayer. Loved, also, the second season of Fleabag, also on iplayer.

Watched the finale of Deadwood recently and really enjoyed it

Really enjoyed Dead To Me - a black comedy with Christina Applegate

Watched the first two episodes of Good Omens but won't be going back - I enjoyed the novel many many years ago, but this is weirdly uninvolving and unfunny

Want to watch the latest season of Bosch, but my partner hasn't seen any of the other seasons so it's hard to get her involved - and it's not SO good that I want to watch the first few again with her

It really is. Funny, moving and clever (said a spokesman) and I recommend it to the house.

There’s a bunch of shows I’ve dropped watching after a few seasons or episodes like:

Walking dead
The fall
Shameless
Nurse Jackie
Ozark
Most of the Marvel Netflix shows

Good shows, but just lost interest.

Some favorites that I saw the whole series:

Mad men
Breaking bad
Dexter ( hate the last seasons)
70’s show
The office (American version)
Battlestar galactica
Disjointed

After we were done with GOT, started Chernobyl on HBO streaming, then Dead Like Me from Netflix, then tried the Fyre Festival documentary on Hulu and now onto What/If? on Netflix.

Forgot about watching Historical Roasts. It had some funny moments, but not nearly as good as the regular roasts or even Roast Battle.

I have a lot of dead time at work and tend to tear through the offerings on the various streaming platforms.

I've recently signed on for Britbox and have been making my way back through old favorites like Red Dwarf and finding new favorites like Rowan Atkinson's "Maigret" series.

On Netflix, I'm catching up on Ash vs Evil Dead, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and Legends of Tomorrow.

Amazon Prime has added a bunch of RPG related net shows like The Gamers and AFK.

I wonder if anything produced in the last few years needs adding to that list? - Fleabag, Killing Eve, Bodyguard, Peaky Blinders, just from this side of the pond. Stranger Things, Better Call Saul, Boardwalk Empire, anything else?

I have been watching Deadwood off-and-on since last year. I have resumed it to try and finish out and watch the new installment.

I like the show, but I find the profanity jarring. The dialogue is otherwise poetic -- like True Grit -- and I don't believe characters of that time would have laced so many f-bombs in with such poetic dialogue. It's not that they were too moral to do it, it just wasn't customary.

One thing people often overlook about the Deep South, and therefore the Frontier, is that the combination of the Civil War and the settlement of the frontier created a complete "shuffling of the deck" of social class based on old money and land holdings. A large swath of the population lost everything, or was starting with nothing. So old ties meant nothing -- and social class was ambiguous. This corresponded to a rise of manners -- manners and graciousness were a social signal of class (or class aspired to). So even if you had almost nothing, if you hosted a guest or were encountering a person, people would attempt to speak with elocution and grace. The lowest classes were not proud -- they were seeing a new world emerging and aspiring to be thought of as middle or upper.

The term "redneck" dates to a time when whites were sorting out social class amongst themselves -- a farm worker would come into town to do business, and of course you could tell by looking at him he worked outdoors all day. Other whites would use the term to convey he is of low class -- but it was more about manners and behavior. If you comported yourself with manners, it was a social virtue-signal, as if to say "everything is crazy and reset now, but I consider myself an heir to a traditional notion of class." This is one of the reasons, I believe, that both the South and Midwest have such a (deserved) reputation for people being nicer and polite to each other.

In Deadwood, there was gruffness, and greed, and crime. But it lacks the comportment of the times (even if you consider it phony). I think more people would have been like the doctor and the newspaper man, and the insidious, murderous, profanity would have been less in your face.

Yep, I thought of that but by all accounts (not seen the next ones) the quality didn't last. For similar reasons I'd add the second season of Fargo.
