What are you watching (bingeing) these days?

Season 2 has Vanya interested in a mother of a special-needs child. So . . . make of that what you will . . .

I hope he can pull it off, after once playing a pregnant teenager so well.

Must’ve taken notes from Ah-nold.

My son’s chosen name if not shortened has the same ending sound as their birth name, but the first part is quite different. I think they chose it on purpose to get away from the girl name (even though the girl name was historically male). They still get called by their middle name by my ex’s side of the family, which is actually my brother’s nickname, but they’ve been asking not to be called that name since they were 5, so didn’t go with that name either.

I have an easier time remembering the shortened version of their new name than the longer, because there are multiple names it could be short for, and they rarely say the full version.

I am old enough to remember this only being a problem for people becoming Muslim - Cassius, Lew, Robert (Moore)

which I can deal with better than Lloyd (Free); or Ron (Artest)

Currently watching Queen’s Gambit

In my queue (besides British Baking & variations)

Master of None
Schitt’s Creek
House of Cards

Which I all believe are done. I prefer binging completed series

Also

Babylon Berlin (which is in German, so need to watch when I am not multitasking)
3rd Season Shtsel (Hebrew) when available

Peaky Blinders (done? skipped a year?)

and ongoing, so I’ll wait
Ozark
Better Call Saul
Grace and Frankie
Chef’s Table
Shameless

Any obvious omission? (have seen Breaking Bad, The Bulls Documentary, Murder of Versace).
Looking for quality, not just popular (Tiger King)

Anything Emmy or Golden Globe nominated a plus

Some done ones that are good:

Dark
Narcos
100

The 100? (so many close titles)

all added

Yeah I think so. The 100. Sci-fi ish.

Dark isn’t in english, but the english dub is superb, I recommend watching it with English dub.

Narcos is about Pablo Escobar, so half of it is in spanish.

How do you like The 100? I watched the first season, but never kept up for some reason.

I actually think it got better and better. I thought it was going to be a fairly linear one-dimensional plotline, but every season is actually different. And the finale season actually tied together everything fairly well. And actually got a bit trippy, which is my type of show.

The acting definitely got better too, since in the first season most of them are fairly young.

I was a big fan of Sneaky Pete on Prime. It was cancelled after its third season. While there was no big wrap-up episode, there were no huge plot lines left dangling.

I’m nearly finished with the available episodes of Lucifer on Netflix, I understand there’s supposed to be another 1.5 seasons to finish it up.

Waiting for Letterkenny’s next season to drop on 12/26.

We can’t binge it because they release an episode a week, but Star Trek Discovery has me looking forward to Fridays (releases on Thursday, but I like it being the first thing I watch when I’m done with work for the week).

Finished the last available Call the Midwife episode a couple weeks ago, I hate waiting for new seasons to come to Netflix :pensive_face: so I try to string them out a little.

Queen’s Gambit was very good.

If you consider chess a sports movie, try Searching For Bobby Fisher

Queen’s Gambit was good.
Enjoyed both season of Umbrella Academy (with Elliot Page) and both season of the Boys looking forward to season 3 of both.
Current watching Erased - an anime series from 2014 or 2015 I think , only 1 season
Looking forward to the released of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (netfilx) and the Expanse (amazon prime) both of which I think are supposed to be final season wrapping up both programs.

Oh and Friday night has been Mandalorian night in our house

Wife just watched all of the crown and schitt’s creek, I caught some of both.

so anyone else read the IMDB trivia on movies?

On Queen’s Gambit they said for the original production Elliot Page was intended to star. There were 180 or so people that noted it, so it was not new. Wondering if IMDB was able to make the change that fast

Just finished Season One of The Mandalorian. Again, supernatural forces make getting out of sticky situations very easy. Why didn’t the small Yoda heal The Mandalorian the same way he healed Apollo Creed?

wife and I starting British Baking Show, holiday edition, 3 seasons

I find it best not to ask too many questions

Yeah. But I could also ask myself why I’m watching. (Answer: My son is encouraging me.)
Baby Y seems to have some TZ “The Prime Mover” limitations.
