I love, love Big Little Lies, and Reese Witherspoon, who is in it.

A g/f watched Little Fires Everywhere, and recommended it to me. Reese is in it, as is Kerry Washington (Scandal).

Big Little Lies is so good! DH and I really got hooked.

Entertaining ones I have watched include Northern Rescue, Virgin River, Wanted, Private Practice (spin off of Grey's Anatomy).

I just started Northern Rescue. Just finished Gilmore Girls and Sweet Magnolias. Virgin River is a must see too. LOVED Private Practice. Watched that when it first came out on regular tv. Atypical is really good. Only hear good things re: Little Fires Everywhere and LIttle Big Lies but haven't see either yet.

Watching Sweet Magnolias now. Good enough, but like a long Lifetime movie. Watched the Jeffrey Epstein documentary. Yikes.

Ozark, Queen of the South, Imposters

Watching Queen of the South

Space Force with Steve Carell and John Malkovich. It's goofy funny and can go a little overboard at times but overall it's pretty good.

We also like Lenox Hill and Somebody Feed Phil. Phil is in its third season.

I recently watched David Foster: Off the Record. It’s a 2 hour show on his life from childhood prodigy to iconic music producer. It was a good break after watching the Jeffrey Epstein documentary.

FYI: Big Little Lies was on HBO and Little Fires Everywhere is on Hulu.

NoWay, I binged the whole 3rd season of Ozark. That's one of the few shows I've binged. I also really liked Imposters, then it got cancelled.

Another good show is Dead to Me.

Ratherbesewing, I can’t keep track of what we watch on Netflix and what we watch on DVD from the library, with the occasional foray into Hulu. I haven’t even tried using my Amazon Prime for viewing yet!

Jasdip, we also have enjoyed Dead to Me. Ozark, we almost stopped after season 2 but liked the latest season.

Waiting for Fargo to come back! It was filmed in my son‘s neighborhood this past year, so we want to see if we recognize anything. Such an odd series, but we like it.

I‘ve started watching When Calls the Heart after DH goes to bed. It‘s okay, but certainly an antidote to Fargo, Ozark, etc!

BPath, after watching the likes of Ozark, I'm always looking for lighter fare.

I watched Virgin River, and I might look into When Calls the Heart.

For fun, I like Lucifer. It's really the main actor that I like! He's handsome as the devil (pun intended), and quite witty.

Also, I mentioned this before but I started watching the new Dynasty last month. I've been bingeing that one as well.

Please, if you have not watched the "Dolly Parton Heartstrings" watch it. It is one of the best series I've seen!

I'm plowing through Longmire, and it's taking me forever.

When Calls the Heart is a little sappy but nice. I enjoyed it. It's funny that Lori Laughlin (the one who cheated to get her girls into USC) is a real "goody 2-shoes" in the show.

Not Netflix but through Apple+ is Tom Hanks new movie Greyhound. It's just at sea WWII warfare and not much else. Not recommending unless you like that kind of thing.

Socks: You will notice late in the seasons when Lori Laughlin is removed from the show. The characters simply say she left town to take care of a sick relative!

Another hilarious show is Derry Girls. It is laugh out loud funny.

Thanks for this thread, and thanks to all the people who recommended "Longmire" on a similar thread. I have one more episode left, and will hate to see it end. My idea of "binge watching" is to try to get in one episode per day, so the six seasons have lasted a while. I have a friend who finished watching Longmire and then started it all over again. I don't think i'll so that, but maybe some time in the future. I know I'll miss the characters, especially since they've kept me company in the age of Covid.

just finished the 3rd season of Ozark last night! WOW!!!

I heard just one more season... which i get but i would love more. the acting is awesome and the story line is fantastic!

after i finished it i had to watch something mindless... Season 1 of RHONY, perfect!!

I'm still watching This Is Us. I'm on season 4. I have several shows going, I don't want to finish any of them in a hurry. When shows are finished, I get in a funk, I miss them!

Sprt, it took me a minute to figure out your acronym. Those don't interest me at all, but they're definitely mindless! LOL

JoAnn, I'm going to start watching Heartstrings.

We're watching the Australian comedy/drama series "Offspring" again. Enjoyed Ricky Gervais' black comedy, Afterlife.

also watched 'filthy rich'... very disturbing... i hope she goes to prison

also started watching 'the family'... that is SO interesting!!! synopsis: who is really running our country !!

Another vote for OffSpring, 7 seasons and many episodes. The Heart Guy is similar and good. If you liked Longmire, try Justified. Hart of Dixie is another nonviolent light one.

On Hulu I watched Lark rise to Candleford a British show that I liked very much. Also watching The MCloud sisters a show from Australia about two women who inherit a cattle & sheep ranch. Both are really good. Takes me away from 2020.

@girlnamedgalez8a, Lark Rise to Candleford, good clean fun! “It’s my one weakness” Dorcus.

I'm almost through with Longmire too, Alisande. It's nice to have a series to watch. You just sit down and don't have to wonder what to watch. Easy.

Alisande, and anyone else, who's your favorite Longmire character? I seem to lean towards the Native American characters, like Henry and Mathias. Oh, Ferguson is good too, sweet guy.

Socks, I love them all! (Well, not the villains.) I was fond of Henry from the start, and Mathias has grown on me big time. Love Walt. And Vic! Liked the way Branch looked in jeans. LOL I get impatient with Cady at times, but maybe Zach will keep her from making iffy decisions.

Sprtph, is The Family fiction or a documentary?

Servant of the People. Before Zelensky was elected President of Ukraine, he was a stand-up comedian who wrote and starred in this show. He reminds me of a combination young Dustin Hoffman and Mr. Bean. The show is wonderful and worth reading subtitles. I wish there were more than two seasons.

I watched the first episode of Dolly Parton's Heartstrings. It's a keeper for me! Lots of name-brand actors......Julianne Hough, Kimberley Williams-Paisley (Brad Paisley's wife), Delta Burke, Gerald McRaney and many others.

Not yet Joann, but a friend recommended it to me. It's on my list

Jupidupi, thanks for the recommendation of Servant of the People. We just watched the first episode and we will be back for more.

I seem to recall Dolly Parton's Heartstrings being on PlutoTV, which is a free streaming service, awhile back.

Just finished The Politician and enjoyed it very much - Jessica Lange, Bette Midler, Judith Light are just splendid and Ben Platt is a marvelous singer. It's weird, melodramatic and darkly funny.

And I really loved After Life - so good! It led me to watch more of Ricky Gervais' work. Extras is very good and so is David Brent: Life on The Road - and it was fun to see a number of the same people from After Life are in those, playing very different types.

Following.

The David Foster documentary is enjoyable. Lots of great music.

alisande - documentary/docuseries

i think its 5 episodes

A friend and I trade books back and forth. She was telling me about a series from a number of years ago that she just loved. "Outlander". It's also made into a movie.

Has anyone read, or seen the show? Did you enjoy it?

Jasdip, the “Outlander” books were rated #2, behind To Kill a Mockingbird, in the 100 Best novels ever written show a couple of years back. My wife has watched the first 4 seasons. Me, just in passing. It’s a real “Bodice Ripper”.

I avoided reading Outlander for decades, even though I was in a Compuserve (remember that?) writing group with the author when she was writing it, and knew she was good. I just didn't think it was my thing. I don't read romances (except for JD Robb's "In Death" series, which I suppose could be considered romantic suspense), and I don't care for fantasy (time travel is involved). When I finally did buy the first book in the series--for $1 at the library book sale--I became immersed in it. The author is a meticulous researcher, and the history, the characters, and yes, the romance, pulled me in. I loved it.

I know several people--educated, discerning readers--who have read the entire series more than once. And by the way, they are BIG books!

As far as I know, Outlander isn't a movie. It is, however, a TV series. I don't know who's streaming it now, but it started out on one of the cable networks. I don't have cable, so I haven't kept up with it. But was able to see the first couple of episodes and thought they were extremely well done.

Outlander is a series. We enjoyed it for a few seasons, can’t remember if it was Netflix or Hulu, but then lost interest.

Thanks for the reviews of Outlander!! She's absolutely obsessed with the 2 characters, I forget their names. He's a hunk. She was concerned that the series (yes, my mistake, it's not a movie) would mis-cast the characters as so often is done. Think Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher, even though Reacher is 6'4 or some such height. But she did watch a few seasons and then it went off cable so now she has to find it.

I'll see if I can find the series, I know I won't be able to find the books.

Funny thing, she just discovered Stephanie Plum's numerical books, and just finished reading #7. I told her if I happened to see any at the little libraries I'd grab them for her. She happened to be in a Value Village, and saw 8-14, plus 4 Jack Child books, so grabbed them all.

Two series that I liked a lot are In Plain Sight and The Americans, both on Amazon Prime (not Netflix).

It's interesting how we as viewers or readers (think of The Godfather, for example) find ourselves rooting for characters who do the most awful things, simply because we know them so well. "The Americans," about a 1960's suburban couple who are actually Russian spies, brings this to mind.

Jasdip you might be able to find the Outlander books and paperbacks are available. The first in the series ' Outlander' was published in 1991, and the other novels every few years after that. She's currently writing her 9th in a 10 book series and readers are hoping that it will be out soon. There was talk of a movie years ago, Katherine Heigl was attached to it.

The TV series was developed by STARZ and so far there have been 5 seasons. I think they're now filming the 6th. Netflix has 3 seasons listed on it's web site.

Originally I read the novels as they were published and then re-read the entire series when they aired the first season. I find them complex and totally engrossing and I'm not a fan of the typical bodice-ripper nor science fiction. And even though time travel is the basis for the entire plot it somewhat fades into the background and becomes just another aspect of the characters' roles.

As Alisande mentioned the author researches everything in great depth and I find the historical aspect to be very interesting. The books do not categorize easily, the author refers to them as "Big, Fat, Historical Fiction," like James Michener. They are rich with detail, character driven and addictive.

The Queen's Gambit. Two thumbs up.

I just finished the Fisherman's Friend. Beautiful scenery, and a feelgood movie

I just finished "I am Women" Its the Helen Reddy story, Very good! Dolly also made one,

" Dolly Parton: Here I Am" it was good also.
