clementine Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 We are currently deep into The Blacklist. It is so good! It's smart & has kept us hooked for at least 3 seasons now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Slowly, slowly working our way through Arrow, will get back to the Flash (there's some cross-over at the beginning of the Flash). A Series of Unfortunate Events Murdoch Mysteries Finished Continuum. :-) Walking Dead Star Trek (original series), as well as all of the offshoots (not loving Deep Space Nine); we're halfway through the last season.

Ravin Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I've been binge-watching Once Upon a Time, which I had started watching when it first aired but lost track of midway through season 1. I'm now on Season 5. Not sure what I'll watch after that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6packofun Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I just started watching Trapped, an Icelandic mystery mostly subtitled. I read about it on Nerdist so I'm giving it a whirl. lol Dh and I are thinking about going back to The Expanse which we never caught up with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFSinIL Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 (edited) Caught The Magicians season one, now dvr-ing second season on Sci-Fi channel. Also watching Chef's Table, Charmed (my brainless fun). Waiting for next season of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt to start, and Orphan Black wherever I can find it. PBS on-line watching The Crown. Wish there were more Foyle's War seasons to watch. I also enjoy Supergirl, Grimm, and Agents of Shield. Best new show of the year is Speechless, BTW.

Farrar Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Dh and I are doing The People vs. OJ Simpson. I thought it sounded so dumb... but I was sucked in fast. It's really good.

justasque Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 What is the youngest age you would recommend for this? Thanks You might want to start with the books - they are delightful for the right kind of kid. My sense, also, is that the show is more interesting to those who have read the books, but I'm usually multi-tasking when either listening to audio books or watching tv, so someone else might have a more accurate read on that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elegantlion Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Longmire - finished the latest season the weekend it came out. Stranger Things - love this Shameless - yeah, not for kids, maybe not for adults either. The Last Kingdom - England in the time of Alfred the Great, based upon a novel - perhaps teen friendly, depending upon your guidelines, age 16+ Penny Dreadful - dark, gothic horror, not for kids. Writing is excellent, particularly for the first season. Trying to get through season 2 as time permits Norwegian movies - Ragnarok - this one is more child friendly, maybe 10-12 and up depending upon how they do scary. In Order of Disappearance - like a Tarantino movie, but set in Norway - not for kids The Last King - beautiful scenery: Medieval Norway The Wave - classic disaster film, surprisingly well-done, plays on every trope, however in a likable way. Stars the Norwegian doppelganger of Norman Reedus. Troll Hunter- scary fun, makes you think trolls might really exist. . The Last Kingdom - England in the time of Alfred the Great, based upon a novel - perhaps teen friendly, depending upon your guidelines, age 16+ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TravelingChris Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Stranger Things- watched soon after it came out, we all loved it. Man in the High Castle- We are all hooked though it gives me anxiety THe Expanse- watched season 1 on either Prime or Netflix (we have both) and recording and watching season 2 on Sci Fi The Magicians- also watched the first season on Prime or Netflix and now recording season 2 (we haven't watched 2 yet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Just finished Bones on Netflix. It took me a few months to work through the seasons but finally made it through. Worth the watch!! Well done procedural. Also on Netflix: 13 Hours and The Big Short--both intense and good flicks! The Crown - Really liked, watched it when it first came out. Drop Dead Diva - was fun to watch House - tried but abandoned, guess I don't like hospital dramas--too much illness/death Glee - also tried but abandoned, I don't mind light but it was too stupid for my tastes Friday Night Lights & Heartland - watched a few years back and enjoyed them, if you're looking for other show ideas Keeping up with Victoria on PBS Masterpiece...want to like it more than I do, but it's adequate. Will watch Call the Midwife later. Trying Man in the High Castle on Prime. I've only watched one episode so we'll see. I like to give any new-to-me show a few episodes to see how I like it. The premise is very intriguing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
