What TV Series are people watchng on Netflix? — Page 6

We just found season one of HARLOTS starring Leslie Mandeville. I'm loving it all-- fearless writing, deliciously tasteless design, scenery-chewing acting. My husband (yep, 2 more gay husbands for Sweetlips to chalk up) has issues with the happy colorful aesthetic-- doesn't seem to him as filthy as he is sure 18th century London must have been.

Anyone else watching?

DARK - Highly Recommended.

Just finished watching The Babysitters Club. If you want something light and nostalgic, this is a lot of fun. It's filmed in Vancouver so lots of familiar faces from Hallmark and other tv shows. Alicia Silverstone and Mark Feurstein are also in it.

Next I plan to watch Seasons 2 and 3 of Selling Sunset as well as finally checking out Unorthodox. I'm also waiting for Season 12 of Heartland to drop any day now.

Finally got caught up on The Crown. (Had last season to watch). Plan to start "Dead to Me" tonight or tomorrow. I still have yet to watch the current season of "Sex Education".

Waiting for an announcement on Season four for "Dear White People". Hoping for another season of "The World's Most Extraordinary Homes" (Addicted) and looking forward to the next season of "Bonding".

Love Dead to Me as well and binged season 2 very quickly. Happy that Catherine O’Hara won the recent Emmy for lead actress in a comedy but I have to say that a large part of my heart was rooting for Linda Cardellini and Christina Applegate. They are so good together and would have been pleased if either won.

I am surprised that no one has mentioned Ratched so far. I am up to episode 5 and have enjoyed much of the camp, colors, wardrobe, cinematography and especially getting to see many stage actors on TV.

Jon Jon Briones is so so good as the neurotically addicted insane asylum head doctor. Sharon Stone chewing the scenery is always a treat but this time she’s got a costumed rhesus monkey on her shoulder. Finn Wintrock is truly diabolical as the priest-killing mass murderer locked in the most enticingly atmosheric wine cellar. Corey Stoll as the deadpan gumshoe up for any job. Harriet Harris about to undergo severe hydro-therapy to wash away her lesbionic proclivities. Amanda Plummer in her Norman Bates-like role as owner of the seaside motel who has a penchant for leaches. Of course Sarah Paulson is simply magnetic as Mildred Ratched the nurse you just love to love. You must watch simply for the costumes and wigs alone!

But my absolute favorite Is Judy Davis chewing more scenery as the lunch-pail toting lead nurse Betsy Bucket who is secretly in love with Dr. Hanover (Briones). Thrilling when she is on and especially as Ratched’s foil. This show is so much fun.

Can't wait to hear how you like it. I dont think you'll disappointed...Applegate and Cardelinni are really fabulous.

Emily In Paris. Nice to see Ashley Park in a big role where she gets to sing.

I enjoyed it. Paris was a lovely background. The script was ok however and some of the supporting actors seemed like they had little acting experience. The lead was solid and I liked Park. Some handsome men as well.

Just watched American Murder: The Family Next Door ...uh, wow. Wow. It's the first of it's kind, using all live actual footage thanks to bodycams, cctv, and the way we all live our lives online. If you don't already know about this murder, don't google it. Just watch it.

Of course, The Social Dilemma. Yes, yes .. I know, I hear you. But, like... just STFU and watch it. It should be a requirement for every person online today. I've spent YEARS trying to explain everything this film talks about to friends and family, only to have them role their eyes and claim conspiracy theories. Which is frustrating considering the "specific work" I've done in the "tech field" you'd think they'd stop for a second and listen to what I have to say. Shout out to everyone out of or fighting their NDAs. Thank you for your service.

The Social Dilemma is on my list.

I just added a recommended series called "Borgen" form 2012. It has 3 seasons. A Danish drama series about a woman's rise to be the first Prime Minister of Denmark. It has subtitles but it looks like some English is also spoken.

Just watched a movie with a message about gentrification called "Vampires vs The Bronx". It is sprinkled with a bit of humor and horror and is predictable but I enjoyed it. About 90 minutes long.

I also recommend a movie I actually saw a while ago called "Saturday Church". It is about a NY teen struggling with gender identity. MJ Rodriguez is in it. It is a low budget film. Am glad I watched it.

I watched Catfish having been unfamiliar with it. The protagonist came off much differently than he does on Dancing With The Stars.

Anybody watched “Someone Has to Die” on Netflix yet? I haven’t but it’s piqued my interest— It’s a Spanish-Mexican limited series about a Spanish family in the 50s dealing with their son who is having a relationship with a Mexican danseur. Pedro Almodóvar favorite Carmen Maura (Women on the Verge...) gets top billing. Looks very interesting! It’s by the person who did “House of Flowers,” which I haven’t seen either.

Trying to watch only spooky, Halloween-related stuff but this might break me. This past year I’ve gotten heavy into Almodovar so anything with Carmen Maura is of interest to me. If I can wait, it will be a nice treat for surviving past the election— this and The Crown Season 4.

Enjoying "What is America?," although the host, DannyD, is unbearable.
