Just started THE ENGLISH. And I should have included THE HANDMAID'S Tale.

Todd Mason said...

So many, such as ATLANTA and RESERVATION DOGS and THE HANDMAID'S TALE and BETTER CALL SAUL that I still need to catch up on, keep meaning to, haven't yet. No few because I haven't invested in their streaming services yet.

In no order beyond when they came to mind, or I was reminded by choices above:
CITY ON A HILL
LET THE RIGHT ONE IN
AMERICAN GIGOLO
THE LATE SHOW/COLBERT
LATE NIGHT/MEYERS
THE DAILY SHOW/NOAH
LAST WEEK TONIGHT
ZIWE
UNCABARET (stand-up comedy etc. streaming from the club)
PENNYWORTH
WHITE LOTUS
ARCHER
WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS
WE OWN THIS CITY
NOVA
AMERICAN MASTERS
INDEPENDENT LENS
FRONTLINE
CONDOR (since I couldn't see it on Audience, and did see it as fed on Epix)
GASLIT
WELLINGTON PARANORMAL
THE GOES WRONG SHOW
JEOPARDY!
THE CLEANING LADY (trembling on the edge of I Usually Watch It rather than Absolute Favorite)

And BARRY belongs on my list, as cheatigly long as it already is, as well.

We quit THE ENGLISH in episode three. Obviously, we have very different taste, or didn't watch all these because we don't have some of the networks (Apple +), or just no interest.

The one thing we watched and agree with is HACKS. Liked the first series of RESERVATION DOGS but got rid of Hulu. Watched the first two series of BARRY but haven't gone back.

Most of what we watch now seems to be foreign language shows on MHz Choice or Acorn, or British stuff on Britbox.

HACKS
SHERWOOD
REDEMPTION (Ireland)
LONDON KILLS
QUEEN (French and Polish)
REACHER
IN FROM THE COLD
BORGEN (rerun of the old series, not the new one)
FRACTURES (Iceland)
DARBY AND JOAN (Australia)
RECIPES FOR LOVE & MURDER (South Africa)
THE CHELSEA DETECTIVE
DALGLEISH
HIDDEN ASSETS (Belgium and Ireland)
MURDER BY THE LAKE (Germany & Austria)


Jeff Meyerson said...

Jackie has a more extensive list (some of her shows I didn't watch), including:

DERRY GIRLS (on my list too forgot to list it)
KLEO (German)
THREE PINES
THE WALL (Canadian)
CHERIF (France)
OUTLAWS
CONDOR
McDONALD AND DODDS
NORDIC MURDERS (German)
MURDER IN PROVENCE
GOOD KARMA HOSPITAL (India)
WHITSTABLE PEARL
ASTRID (France)
SPIN (France)

WITCHER
SHADOW AND BONE
WHEEL OF TIME
BRIDGERTON
BILLIONS

A good portion of Jeff and Jackie's picks are on ACORN, or MHZ, which I don;'t have. Also don't have SHOWTIME. Also AMC, Sundance and any cable shows other than the main four.
I only have NBC< CBS< AMC and PBS. And I rarely watch the first three but I watch a lot of PBS
Don't watch Late Night Talk shows. Or any talk shows. Am I such a fan of scripted shows? I guess.
I did like BORGEN but not the latest season.
Isn't it funny now how we all have a different group of shows.
I loved DERRY GIRLS until this season when they just seemed wildly too old to be playing teenagers.

White Lotus
Reboot
Sex Life of College Girls
Three Pines
Severance
Hacks

Well, if you want to see THE CLEANING LADY, it's on Fox/FBC, like ABC a division of Disney these years (and presumably on Hulu). Channel 2 Detroit, of course. Detroit's CW station, Channel 50, will have the final episode of PROFESSIONALS tonight, which I'll probably catch...while THE WINCHESTERS, which precedes it, gets a 100% Rotten Tomatoes critics (of sorts) score, and high 90s viewer score...him, perhaps I should give it a spin. (https://www.cwtv.com/shows/ to stream). Too much frying eyes-bait. Just watched THE LADY IN THE LAKE again, after taking care of the dishes. TCM has a few more wonders awaiting us in the next 24...had forgotten that LADY is an Xmas-set film.

I should finally start buying MHz, but then there's be even more dots to stare at...though, given how everyone is cutting their production budgets, this might be the end of the bumper crops...

pattinase (abbott) said...

But unless it's streaming, I think I can only see the current episode. No TCM.
I think TV is going to drastically change soon. The old cable days might look pretty good.
